Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As shitty of a situation this is, I can see this backfiring spectacularly. If they out any Democrats that were involved with Epstein it's very likely they were all running around in all the same circles back in the day and could easily release any information they want when they have nothing to lose. If there's one thing we've all learned about these scum of the earth it's that they only care about themselves and absolutely love taking revenge on other people. I'm sure almost everyone that was ever involved with Epstein has dirt on someone else that was involved.
The only difference is that the mentally-ill fascist base will continue to support their pedo-fuhrer, who own all branches of government and the supreme court. They already support child rapists for fucks sake. There is no bottom. No crime they won't commit. No crime they won't defend.
I don't think they plan to investigate shit. I think they plan to say "it's ongoing" for the next three years as a way to shut up Congress while doing absolutely nothing to actually investigate or prosecute, because they know just as well as the public does that all possible roads are going to quickly circle back to Turnip.
It could also clean up the democrats of shitty politicians and make room for younger more energetic candidates. It's honestly a win-win for democrats.
Well, a win-win for Democrat voters. Maybe not the leadership or donors.
So a win-win-win.
