House Democratic leaders on Wednesday stepped up their hardball criticism of President Trump and the GOP over the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, accusing their rivals of shielding pedophiles by not releasing federal files surrounding the case.
The Democrats say the decision by GOP leaders to leave Washington a day early for the long summer recess — a move precipitated by Democratic efforts to force votes compelling the Trump administration to release those files — is indication that Republicans don’t want the details of the Epstein case revealed because they might implicate wealthy GOP donors, or even President Trump himself.
“What a fitting end to these six months of Republican control in Washington,” Rep. Katherine Clark (Mass.), the Democratic whip, said during a press briefing in the Capitol. “Instead of doing their jobs — instead of standing up for kids, for families, instead of standing on the side of transparency and accountability — Republicans are running away, all to avoid the release of the Epstein client list, all to cover up for pedophiles.”

Treasury needs to cooperate with the Senate Finance Committee OR having an official investigation into the money trail AND have an investigation if Any intelligence agency has intervened in any of the Epstein cases.
Look at you with the deflection!
I request that you expend a 1-word answer — yes resign, no don’t resign, and you provide 34 words!
Fortunately you’re not in charge of the federal budget office. The deficit would be an even more monstrous behemoth!
Here’s what happened, at least what I understand from Tim Pool’s podcast.
Democrats offered an amendment to release all evidence in the Epstein case.
In that evidence there were graphic images of young girls and video also.
Republicans voted the release down for obvious reasons, otherwise they’d be releasing kiddie porn.
So imagine if your daughter was in those films and it would be out there for the world to see.
This was a Democrat trap.
If the trump administration didn’t have that dumb press conference, this would not be a thing at least at this time.
Why do you assume Trump people leaked the memo?
Why didn’t the damned dems release the files while they controlled the government?
You want some pearls to clutch?
The fact that it was written was stupid enough. No one was even mentioning Epstein anymore, the Texas floods had just happened people were talking about the massive loss of life and all of a sudden this stupid memo got leaked, should NEVER have been written to begin with
100% projection
I could be wrong but I suspect a rope-a-dope play here, coordinated with Trump strategy. Johnson, of course, knew the recess would inspire the media and rat gang to redouble their attacks. Why would he do that, unless he knows something that is coming that will blow the rat narrative out of the water.
Projection. The Dems had four years to deal with this. They did nothing because they know lots of Dems and celebs are implicated.
Why would Republicans protect democRATs?
Democrats are going to pimp the bogus Jeffrey Epstein story as long as the cam milk it to distract form the facts the democrats party is on it’s death bed.
If thet were any Epstein records they would have been found years ago when the courts were looking into his actions.
0 + 0 = 0
Releasing the videos might also show the sickos having sex with minors. Why couldn’t the faces of minors be blurred?
I personally have no wish to view any of these videos. What I would like exposed are the pedophiles.
Even if you blurred faces it would still be kiddie porn.
I don’t know how you could legally release that to the public.
