There are all the places Epstein owned, there is his plane, and we should not forget Mar-a-Lago...

Years from now people will look back at his speeches and wonder how anyone could fail to see this.

Indeed. Though his baseline is depravity and stupidity, his more recent utterances still manage to show his utter mental decomposition.

Indeed. Yet recently there seems to be a shift - my guess is they finally understood that project 2025 also means that SCOTUS loses much of its power...

Why oh why do they still have that Trump loyalist there?

Journalistic ethos does not prescribe to always show the two opposing sides ad infinitum, but to make an educated decision as to what are the facts and justify that decision.

They are too cowardly to commit to one side.

This is the most astonishing thing:
How so many observers and the mainstream media fail to call out obvious mental insufficiency by giving him a pass because of "You know, it is Trump...."

NO! He has to be measured against the same standards as everybody else.

They did not give him that. Only for acts committed in his function as head of state.
So not for bribery, not for corruption, rape or whatever (and he did commit enough crimes while not in government, as well).

Problem with the immunity ruling is it makes it so hard to collect evidence.

My thought exactly. All the cover up she did when she should have those pedophiles investigated in Florida should be enough to earn her prison time.

There we are in agreement.

This is not a play. Describing the Gaza war as genocide is not antisemitism. It is, unfortunately, the truth.

Any source available? I gave you mine - seems pretty legit.

This is not normal. This is dementia.

No - my fault. Indeed it was after the election - no time window for the dems.
But Garland could have amped up prosecution of co-conspirators parallel to the Maxwell-trial.

The appeal of Maxwell ended Oct 2025. So that was a very short time window before the inauguration of Trump that could have been used.

I accept the Olympic rules that during a competition political statements are not allowed.

However, I would have treated his depiction of fallen Ukrainian athletes on his helmet as an attempt to honor their memory, not as a political statement.

It should have been acted on by Garland.

I see those two criminal endeavours separately.

All these files about crimes committed by Epstein and his co-conspirators are sensitive because of witness protection and legal hurdles in ongoing investigations.

However, that does not apply to the coverup attempts. Make them public.

They just collected evidence and didn't act on it. All these years. But they should have.

We demand the files in their entirety because we have lost any trust that the prosecution is doing a proper job. So we want to force them to do their job.

I do not have the legal expertise whether peripheral information is automatically part of the big bundle or can be separated.

I think the demand for releasing those files is an attempt to address the glaring lack of prosecution. That is at the core of it.

I always have the warning of German poet Heinrich Heine in my mind: "Where they burn books, in the end they will burn people."

This is not normal. This is dementia.

Ghislayne Maxwell's case was on appeal until Oct6, 2025. That is when the time window started where Biden yould have done it by executive order.

Search for Oversight Dems in the 'people' column, they are still there, as well as the thread.

I think 'Jew-hatred' is as vile as 'Muslim-hatred' and any other form of prejudice.

However, criticising how the war in Gaza is fought by the Israeli military at the behest of the Israeli government is not tantamount to anti-semitism.

I agree that Garland should have prosecuted. That was his task, his very office.

I disagree with the idea that the government should tell the DOJ what to do. That is a flagrant violation of the separattion of powers, like we see actually with the DOJ under Trump.

I am not sure. I notice the postings are very repetitive, but that may be a personal style.

I think there was an answer to the critique that the thread couldn't be found, though.

From what I noticed from Biden is that he tried very hard not to interfere in legal matters and not weaponize the DOJ.

We have seen this when he didn't pressure Garland to be more proactive in his investigations of Trump crimes.

To issue a warrant against a leader of a state is a very serious issue and is not taken lightly by the ICC. A lot of incriminating information has to be collected and evaluated before such a warrant is issued.

Conclusions are drawn when the accused stands trial.
