  3. Basically zero Republicans or billionaires on the subpoena list

  4. Why don’t they just release the results of the original investigation?

  7. The obvious strategy is for every witness to mention repeatedly how much Epstein bragged about his time with Trump.

  8. This is going to blow up in their faces.

    Trump wants this silenced for a reason, and instead they’re going to give people center stage to talk about his relationship with Epstein.

    I can’t wait.

  9. There’s a strategy here, a batshit crazy strategy but then we live in batshit times.

    Republicans need to show some action on Epstein, it’s been perhaps the one singular thing their base won’t ignore (it seems). So by doing a dog and pony show they can claim they are working on revealing everything and bringing the criminals to justice. Ghislaine will corroborate these were the people on the list and the only people. Ghislaine will get pardoned for cooperating and go away. Republicans will push to prosecute the people they subpoenaed at least some of whom are innocent. Democrats will be forced to either defend the innocent parties or be complicit in the railroading of innocent people. Dems will then be positioned as the party that protects pedophiles. Projection complete

  10. Just like OJ’s search for the real killers, Republicans are searching for the real pedophiles…

  11. Well they don’t need to. They know he raped kids and they don’t care

  13. The funniest part of this is Republicans think they pulled a fast one.

    Yet im betting every democrats questions will be “did you see President Trump at this event” or “when you decided to prosecute/not prosecute as Attorney General did President Trump say anything to you?” and by and large these are people who no longer like Trump.

    And they apparently spread the testimony over the next 2 months…so this will be a constant.

  14. The conservative sub mods are deleting anyone that mentions trump in this news. Go look at their post on this matter. Earlier today the top comments were all about how Trump should be on the list and all of those comments are now deleted.

  15. It is almost as if they are trying to create some kind of smokescreen.

  17. Good. The Democrats can freely ask and the witnesses can freely answer anything they want about Trump. This seems really dumb.

  18. >Committee chairman James Comer also issued a subpoena for the Department of Justice, asking the agency to turn over the “full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files” on or before August 19.

    Odds on if they get that, Comer says only Republicans get to see it?

  20. Every democrat showing up should – on the record – say something along the lines of “yea well I don’t recall exactly but I do remember Trump being there”. Force the issue

  21. More distractions, more obfuscation. Trump is a pedo, a rapist, and a felon.

    No attempts at blaming Hillary will change the facts.

  22. An entire party functioning in defense of a criminal. Wow. We knew some of them were traitors in 2021, now we see what all of them are worth. Absolutely nothing. Not a single spine amongst the lot of them.

  23. *trump*: yeah

    **journalist**: would you declassify JFK files

    *trump*: yeah

    **journalist**: would you..

    *trump*: I did I did a lot of it

    **journalist**: would you declassify the **Epstein files**

    *trump*: yeah yeah I would

    **journalist**: alright

    *trump*: I guess I would I think that less so because you know you don’t know you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there because it’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole world uh but I think I would or at least

    **journalist**: do you think that would restore trust help restore trust

    *trump*: yeah I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others

  24. >I’ve known [Jeffrey Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

    Donald Trump, 2002, to *New York* magazine.

  25. Would be hilarious if everyone who was subpoenaed continue and implicate Trump being involved. This checkers game is becoming more and more annoying

  26. I wonder how it feels going to work every day knowing your job is to keep a demagogic rapist in power 

  27. Trump’s name is in those files enough times that it took a thousand agents to find, catalogue, and redact it. Subpoena Trump.

  29. Great, now I have to throw away all of my Bill Clinton hats and shirts and bumper stickers.
