The US justice department has opened an investigation into financier Jeffrey Epstein's alleged connections to major banks and leading Democrats, including US President Bill Clinton. This probe comes after Donald Trump announced plans to request the Attorney General and FBI to investigate Epstein’s relationships with Clinton and others. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed she has enlisted US Attorney Jay Clayton to spearhead the investigation, assuring the public of a thorough pursuit of the truth.

 

Interest in Epstein's connections surged following the release of over 20,000 pages of documents by US lawmakers. These documents comprise some mentions of Trump and have reignited debates regarding Epstein's circle, which reportedly includes big financial names and political figures. Besides Clinton, Trump has pressed for the Department of Justice (DoJ) to scrutinise JP Morgan, Chase, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn's founder.

 

The banks have reacted, with a JP Morgan spokesperson expressing regret over any past association with Epstein, stressing they were uninvolved in his criminal acts. Although Trump expressed his intent to the DoJ, there has been no official department response. However, developments arise as the US House of Representatives is set to vote on the potential release of all investigation files concerning Epstein. Democrat Adelita Grijalva has played a pivotal role, enabling this upcoming floor vote by swiftly signing a discharge petition.

 

Among the documents, emails unveiled dialogue between Epstein and Larry Summers, containing candid opinions about Trump's early presidency. Additionally, exchanges between Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, now imprisoned for trafficking, were highlighted, though Trump was not directly involved in these communications.

 

Traditionally, US presidents refrain from interfering with the justice department’s investigations and employ special counsels for enquiries into predecessors. Yet, this instance reflects parallels with the Biden administration’s referrals concerning Trump's alleged 2020 election interference, which ceased once Trump returned to office, reported the BBC.

 

In light of Trump’s declarations, Democratic Representative Robert Garcia suggested the investigations serve as a diversion from Trump's ties with Epstein. On the contrary, Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene backed transparency, urging collaboration with Democrats in advocating for document disclosures linked to Epstein.

 

Support for file release grows, with Epstein survivors and family members, including Virginia Giuffre’s family, petitioning for Congress’s approval. Their letter to lawmakers emphasises a moral duty towards their constituents and echoes survivor support, urging a thoughtful vote reflecting the electorate’s sentiments.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• US justice department is probing Epstein’s ties with Clinton and major banks.
• Trump has requested an investigation into Clinton, JP Morgan, Chase, and others.
• The House vote on releasing Epstein investigation files is imminent.

Stoopid Dems didn't think it would ever be used against their side.

 

I'm generally against political interference in legal matters.  But it's even worse if only one side is allowed to interfere, so I'm good with this one.  And enjoying it thoroughly.

What’s the famous joke about Bill in his defence about having sex with Monica Lewinski?

Well, doesnt seem like Donald know anything about distractions, or? 

Anything to distract from the fact there are two girls who testified under oath, saying they had sex with the convicted felon con man when they were 13.  Both said he was attracted to them because they looked like his daughter Ivanka, who was also around 13 at the time.

Locker room talk, obviously. Who's "Bubba"?

And why do you think that is. Do you think the Democrats would be leaking emails to press that mentions Clinton?

what is really strange is the fact that dems did not release these emails during bidens 4 years, why didnt they, also the fact they blacked out a name to make it look more dramatic than it was, the girl(Virginia guiffre) had stated several times trump was not involved with her or other girls. Being a father I have little regard for anyone taking advantage of under age girls, I lost a daughter to it many years ago and hold anyone involved in doing it in contempt but as yet there has been no definite proof that trump was involved with these girls apart from unproven emails/talk/ videos (as we have witnessed before that were shown to be false) from democrats and their supporters, hopefully the truth will come out and be shown to be fact and not just innuendo as it is currently

 

Word of the day: impunity.

Or the old but goodie,   we have the concept of a plan.

I have said this before here: I don’t care who’s in the files, if it’s Clinton, Bill Gates, Trump or the pope himself. If they are guilty, they ALL need to be locked up for a very long time. 
I assume most ‘liberals’ feel the same way, as opposed to MAGA, who will go,to any length to protect the pedophile in the WH and all his rich cronies who are guilty as sin, and they just want to lock up liberals like Clinton.

What is really strange is the fact that MAGAs have been touting the Epstein files for years until the end of February, and then suddenly backpedaled!

No, that's not what she said.

 

 

Why would you want to launch a major investigation into a hoax?

 

Oh wait.... the investigation is to prove it was a hoax created by Clinton/Obama/Biden?

 

Got it.

..........the girl(Virginia guiffre) had stated several times trump was not involved with her or other girls.

 

Smart move by her considering other victims immediately faced death threats and withdrew their testimonies when making accusations against Trump......and the fact she would be taking on the most litigious president in history.

 

Even her estate, following her suicide, would have been open to claims by Trump had she mentioned anything untoward.......

The master of deflection is engaged in a campaign to do anything to distract from his own personal guilt. He is utterly desperate and running scared. He should be scared. 

 

Just release the bloody papers/tapes ... they're all in it together. Get those names out into the public and get them into jail. I don't care if it's Trump or Clinton or whothehell.

For “disaterous (sic) Democratic government shutdown” read “Epstein shutdown”.
