It results in nothing, but cedes power to your enemies. Better to take charge and lead.

If anyone on "our" side were "clients" of Epstein and "partook" of those kids, they can burn. They're a wound that needs to be cauterized.

according to Virginia G, but there have been no reports of cavorting. On the island and plane he likely saw many under aged women. We'll see.

We might not like seeing them on the list, but if they’re there, they deserve what’s coming.

After so many years of speculation, this just all needs to be resolved. Let the cards fall where they may.

Republican Representatives Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Brian Jack of Georgia and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania sided with Democrats as a House subcommittee voted Wednesday to subpoena the Department of Justice for records related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

Is she concerned about a Dem Challenger in her District?

Maybe Scott Perry is in PA? I don't know anything about Brian Jack?

So I wouldn't be surprised if she files a lawsuit because she got named as voting with the DEMs

names will be bandied about and Trump will once again claim victory. See, I gave the people what they were screaming for - Bill Clinton. I also fear that this is what they will "groom" Ms Maxwell to give up, Clinton's involvement,then lie through her teeth about Trump and get out of jail free.

For everyone worried about Clinton, all that happened was the Clinton Foundation rented Epstein's plane for some trips. Epstein rented his plane to lots of people. When he travelled on that plane, members of the Foundation and his Secret Service detail were there, every time. Pretty sure Hill was on at least some of the trips as well. I don't know whether Epstein was ever on the plane with them, and certainly no underage victims and sex parties were happening

They got jack shit on Bill Clinton, guaranteed. But that doesn't mean they won't TRY of course.

If there was dirt on Clinton re: partaking in sexual abuse of minors provided by Epstein, it would not be irrelevant.

On the upside though? I do not believe he did any such thing.

by any of the girls/women. But when Clinton denied being on the island, Virginia G said she sat next to him at dinner.

If Clinton knew the island was a pedophiles' haven, I doubt he would have gone there. Trump may have tried to get compromat on him there per Jeffrey.

I don't think Bill hascanythintbto worry about.

Just because he was a skirt chaser back in the day doesn't mean he's a pedo.
