MODERATORS
 

Democrats had been pressing for an amendment to cryptocurrency legislation that would have forced the release of information and exhibits itemized in a list of evidence held by the justice department from the 2019 child sex-trafficking case against disgraced financier Epstein.

Democrats had weighed in on the issue, hoping to force a release of the documents. “The question with Epstein is: Whose side are you on?” California Democratic US House member Ro Khanna, the author of the Epstein measure, told Axios. “Are you on the side of the rich and powerful, or are you on the side of the people?”

But Republicans on the US House rules committee voted down the amendment that would have allowed Congress to vote on whether the evidence – which includes micro cassettes, DVDs, CDs including one labelled “girl pics nude book 4”, computer hard drives and three massage tables in green, beige and brown – should be released.

"Are you on the side of the rich and powerful, or are you on the side of the people?”

We already know the answer to that question.

Republicans on the US House rules committee voted down the amendment

See?

It has been officially confirmed that we are ruled by pedo nepos and the regime whores will die on this hill.

pedo nepos and the regime whores

Interesting band name.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hey, now, that’s two great band names. Imagine attending a concert with those two as the headliners.

Or maybe not

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

the Regime Whores have a great sound. Saw them open for Tungsten Daniel, a Steely Dan cover band.

According to Republicans, the reality that Trump is a pedophile is not as important as the suspicion that a drag queen might be one.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I don’t agree withmaga often - in fact hardly ever. But in the Epstein case, it’s obvious trump, Bondi and the GoP are covering up. A lot of dirt is being hidden, and pedophiles and childrapists are protected. Protect our children

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

They really shouldn't mince their words here

"Whose side are you on? The guy who seems to be a categorically obvious pedo fixer for the elite? That's a really fucking bad look"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Pedophile fucking republicans, they’re always about the sex crimes.

But the list was already released

Donald Trump is on page 80

I think there's more to it as bolded out above. Has anyone typed out those names? I see Forbes and Paul Allen on there which would explain a few things. It's also still pretty redacted because there are names like "airlines" and "Massage - California." Is that California governor, city mayor, or representative for a newspaper? It could be anyone.

Edit: As mentioned below, this is the address book and included people who were the airlines or hotels, or whatever. (unreadacted as per [email protected] - https://dn721200.ca.archive.org/0/items/jeffrey-epstein-39s-little-black-book-unredacted/Jeffrey_Epstein39s_Little_Black_Book_unredacted.pdf)

The Client list is what they are blocking from being released.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Here’s an unredacted version.

The ‘Massage’ section is all girls and a few of their moms. Some of those names are redacted (IIRC those who were set to be witnesses for the prosecution). Trump is listed under the ‘Island’ section.

I just spent some time reading through this. Why isn't this list all over the news? Why is the news making a deal out of whether or not it's released, if it's already accessible?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This isn't a client list, it's his address book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ok, that makes sense. I just want to know why my mom is on there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Your mom is in a lot of address books, including mine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I added this to my comment so more people see it. Thanks for pointing that out, I was getting confused as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

This is his black book, which I think is a separate thing from the client list (though there’s likely some overlap).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was apart of the previously released files. Everyone has seen what was in the white binders and released previously.

What we want is the client list. Not his rolladex

It looks like the apartment in Miami is mentioned in that section too. I knew about Alan Dershawitz, but not John Kerry. David Rockefeller shows up, but I'm not sure what Rockefeller he is, or if he's one of the famous ones. Those are the only names I recognize from that section.

Epstein was a huge fan of sleight of hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

In a testament to ineptitude, this is still somehow on the justice department website, lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Makes sense now that Elon wanted a new party.
