(22,371 posts)3. This is the EPSTEIN SHUTDOWN
Mike and company will prolong it forever.
TO PROTECT THE PEDOPHILES.

I propose an independent/international SEPARATE inquiry into "Everything Epstein" because
The DOJ trove will NEVER be released, and
There should be sufficient independent evidence uncovered to trash the major players.
-- The bit players will fall down as a consequence.
Some material already on hand:
The Epstein Document Archive

Epstein Flight Logs (USA vs. Maxwell)

We mapped Jeffrey Epstein's social network. Here's what we found.

Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump Is Running Pedophile Protection Program
https://newrepublic.com/post/202623/hakeem-jeffries-trump-johnson-republicans-pedophile-protection-program
When asked by a reporter about working with someone who has been obstructing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Jeffries said that the Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program.
Thats what theyve been doing. And thats the reason why they refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, for weeks now, Jeffries added, referring to the congresswoman who won a special election on September 23 to replace her late father, Representative Raúl Grijalva. She was elected in late September decisively.
Jeffries said that Grijalva hasnt been sworn in by House Speaker Johnson because she would be the deciding vote on legislation requiring the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.
Week after week after week have gone by, and Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is unable to serve 800,000 people in the state of Arizona all because of the pedophile protection program being run by Mike Johnson and House Republicans at the direction of their boss, Donald J. Trump, Jeffries added.
