WASHINGTON DC – Tenn. Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican and politician who I consider one of the few candid ones in this country recently said DC is not a swamp, it needs to be called a sewer instead.
There is one thing for sure, you can bet whatever vote counts or comments or drama is being played out on the DC stage it has for the most part been manufactured and scripted behind the scenes.
Behind the scenes in such a way that the normal American can smell the stench of the “sewer,” but without a clear understanding of why.
The fact the “Epstein Bill” passed in Congress 427-1 with five members who did not vote and La. Republican Clay Higgins who voted no is a huge question mark.
Why now?
I know everyone was up in arms about Higgins but come on, these people are not idiots. Higgins knew he would be the lone no vote, he knew it would shed a bright spotlight on him and he likely knew that a number of his political mates both left and right are on the list.
From that vote the Republican and Democrat Senate unanimously passed the bill to send over to the White House.
Trump had been trying to say the list was a hoax. Not exactly because you really can’t hoax 20,000 pages. That is a lot of paper. And there were also the victims who came forward and at least one victim who predicted she would be murdered and it would be called a suicide. And then she was found dead.
The Epstein Transparency Act allows for the Attorney General to take up to 30 days to release the documents. Some information may be withheld supposedly to protect victims or ongoing investigations.
My question remains the same one it has been for years, why do these government officials we hired to send to DC think they have a right to tell their employers (the American people) what we can and cannot see.
What I can see is a lot of little emperors with no clothes and with no idea how bad they look naked. And I also see that group of people who do not want to appear stupid by pointing it all out and demanding “we the people” are in charge.
So, for now, scrubby dub dub, the Department of Justice must release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials related to Epstein and Maxwell within 30 days. Let us hope that is done without prejudice.
Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke alongside the victims and said the Epstein issue ripped MAGA apart.
She announced she would be resigning from her congressional seat in January. Some people wondered if she had been threatened, but her resignation letter seemed on point.
And as a sidenote, if you do not like her because she is conservative, or a woman or whatever you want to drum up, take a deep breath. What she is describing is your party too whether it is blue, red, green, or pink.
In her resignation letter she stated what thinking Americans already know, Washington is a bevy of smear campaigns, lies, lawfare, backstabbing, and a political machine that destroys anyone who refuses to fall in line. She explained how both parties are controlled by lobbyists like Big Pharma, Big Tech, the military-industrial complex, foreign interests, and the elite donor class.
She also discussed threats, slander, personal attacks and said, “Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.” Taylor Greene had issue with the never ending story of the Epstein files drama, and added “the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we endured an eight week shut down wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season, which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on.”
