Plaskett Delivers Jaw-Dropping Explanation of Why She Texted Jeffrey Epstein During Congressional Hearing

Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett (VI-At Large) continued her whirlwind public tour in which she’s tried to convince anyone who will listen that texting sex predator Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing is totally normal.

It’s been a sight to see. Plaskett, who the Washington Post revealed was texting Epstein in real-time, steering her questioning of an anti-Trump witness at his direction, has offered some unique defenses.

Last night, some of the top minds in the Democrat party (which is akin to having a favorite STD) put their heads together and came up with the little-known “constituency defense.”

That is, as RedState’s Katie Jerkovich reported, Plaskett was involved in nothing nefarious. She was simply texting an average, everyday constituent.

“I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent,” Plaskett blathered about on the House floor. “Who…was not public knowledge at that time, that he was under federal investigation, and who was sharing information with me.”

SHOCKER: Numerous Members of Bill Clinton’s Administration Were Visitors at Epstein’s Island

Bill Clinton’s Administration was infested with creeps who reportedly visited Epstein Island.

President Trump is right.  It is time to investigate the Clintons and the entire Democrat Party for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. 

Bill Clinton

We know that the Clintons are closely tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

We reported in 2019 that investigative reporter Conchita Sarnoff, the author of “Trafficking” on the Jeffrey Epstein case, joined Shannon Bream and said Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane 27 times and ALMOST EVERY TIME that Clinton was on the plane there were underage girls on the plane.

Sarnoff also said Bill Clinton was lying about his flights with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Clintons were also regular visitors at Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico.

Al Gore

We also learned in 2019 after a release of files from the first Epstein case that one woman claimed Al Gore was at Epstein’s Island.

A woman who claims she was a sex slave for billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein says she met former vice president Al Gore, according to documents unsealed on Friday.

The documents were made public Friday after a U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision to make public more than 2,000 pages of court filings in a since-settled 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Roberts against Epstein confidant and aide Ghislaine Maxwell.

Larry Summers

We uncovered in 2019 that Larry Summers, the creepy former President of Harvard and President Clinton’s Secretary of Treasury, flew numerous times on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and even flew to Epstein’s so called ‘Orgy Island’. 

Flight logs from the previous Epstein trial show that Larry Summers flew a couple times on the ‘Epstein Express’ to Epstein’s now infamous ‘Orgy Island’!  According to flight records released from the Epstein case, Summers took four trips on Epstein’s Jet.  On one trip he took his newlywed second wife, Elisa New, to Epstein’s Island for their Honeymoon in 2005.

(Note that Summers was Senior U.S. Treasury Department official throughout President Clinton’s administration (ultimately Treasury Secretary, 1999–2001) and former Director of the National Economic Council for President Obama (2009–2010). He is a former President of Harvard University (2001–2006)…}

Ten days after Larry and Elisa Summers were Married, on December 21, 2005, Larry and Lisa Summers flew from Bedford, MA to Epstein’s Island.  They were accompanied on this flight by ‘GM’ – Epstein’s close confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.

The flight logs show from BED (Laurence G Hanscom Fld – Bedford, MA) to TIST (Cyril E King Airport, St Thomas, US Virgin Islands).

Epstein enlisted Rothschild-run bank to fund Israel’s cyberweapons development: Report

Deceased US financier and notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein attempted to use a Swiss, Rothschild-run private bank to raise money for Israeli cyberweapons development, according to leaked emails from the inbox of former Israeli premier Ehud Barak. 

The emails were obtained from a hack carried out by non-profit whistleblower Distributed Denial of Secrets, and cited in a report released by Drop Site News. 

In 2019, Bloomberg revealed that Ariane de Rothschild, CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Group (then vice chairman), visited Epstein’s New York mansion in 2015. Epstein was found dead in his prison cell less than two weeks later. 

The bank denied it at the time, but admitted four years later that de Rothschild met Epstein as part of her “duties” at the institution – coming after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) released the sex offender’s meeting calendars. 

Epstein provided introductions to US finance leaders and law firms and provided tax and risk consulting, the bank said, while also assisting de Rothschild personally on “a couple of occasions” with estate management advice.

However, emails released by the US House Oversight Committee earlier this month revealed a closer relationship between Epstein and de Rothschild. Epstein had arranged to see a play with her, and had also planned a trip to Montreal with her. 

The Barak emails obtained by Handala show that Epstein tried to use his friendship with de Rothschild to fundraise for Israeli cyberweapons development. After retiring from government in 2013, Barak worked with Pavel Gurvich – a graduate of the Israeli army’s Unit 81 technology unit – to find cyberweapons startups linked to the Israeli intelligence community. 

Conversations between Barak and Gurvich included a variety of cyberweapons concepts and ideas derived from Israeli army research and inspired by the US National Security Agency’s (NSA) vast surveillance network. 

Epstein also pushed plans to finance these cyberweapons companies and sought to get support from de Rothschild. 

The emails show Epstein played the role of middleman between the former Israeli prime minister and de Rothschild.

“If Ehud wants to make serious money, he will have to build a relationship with me. Take time so that we can truly understand one another,” said a message from de Rothschild relayed to Barak by Epstein. 

“I’m ready. But I need your advice re HOW? (ladies is your forté),” Barak responded to Epstein.

“It’s not clear whether the Rothschild bank ultimately participated directly in Epstein and Barak’s cyberweapons efforts – but in October 2015, de Rothschild negotiated a $25 million contract with Epstein’s Southern Trust Company, the same entity Epstein used to fund Barak’s intelligence-linked security startup Reporty Homeland Security (now known as Carbyne) earlier that year,” Drop Site News revealed. 

Earlier this month, Drop Site News also revealed via leaked emails that Epstein and Barak helped Israeli intelligence shape the security apparatuses of several African nations, most notably in Cote d’Ivoire.

The new US House Oversight Committee disclosures from earlier in November show that de Rothschild and Epstein remained close over the years. 

Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution but was given a non-prosecution plea deal by the Miami US attorney, Alexander Acosta, who stated that he was warned to “back off” because the convict was connected to an unnamed intelligence agency.

The sex offender was again arrested in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges. He died while in prison awaiting his trial, under mysterious circumstances. 

Prison authorities claim he committed suicide, yet this is disputed.

Democrat Plaskett Digs Deeper Grave On Epstein Ties

Democrat Stacey Plaskett has doubled down on her Epstein collusion in a cringe inducing CNN interview, shrugging off his known sex offender status and sparking outrage as the Epstein files bill clears the Senate for Trump’s signature, exposing the left’s sudden “transparency” push as a desperate backfire.

Plaskett defended her Epstein texts, stating  “I believed Epstein had information. I was gonna get that information to seek truth.” 

The CNN anchor pressed, “At the time, he was a known sex offender…” prompting Plaskett to respond “A lot of people have done a lot of crimes!” 

In an earlier House floor speech, Plaskett admitted, “I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent… who was sharing information with me.”

She added, “I have been a lawyer for thirty years… I know how to question individuals. I know how to seek information. I have sought information from confidential informants, from murderers, from other individuals because I want the truth.”

Plaskett claimed Republicans have “taken a text exchange which shows no participation, no assistance, no involvement in any illegal activity and weaponized it for political theater.”

She added that Epstein “As a constituent, as an individual who gave donations to me, when I learned of the extents of his actions after his investigation, I gave that money to women organizations in my community…That’s what I think should have been done and that’s what I did.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Effort to Smear Republicans Over Epstein Donations Blows Up in Her Face When Conservative Journalist Unearths the Damning Truth

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) provided some unintentional comic relief right before the House decided to give her fellow Democrat, Stacey Plaskett, a pass regarding her dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.

The House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett. Every Democrat voted against the censure, while three Republicans voted present, and three other GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats.

It was later exposed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) that House leadership in both parties cut a dirty deal to ensure Plaskett would not face accountability.

Before the censure vote, Crockett took to the House floor and accused the GOP of a double standard by asserting without evidence that the likes of Mitt Romney, Lee Zeldin, John McCain, and George W. Bush had once taken money from Epstein.

But in a development that will surprise no one, Crockett got her ‘facts’ wrong. The Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross took her advice and dug up the FEC filings and discovered that a completely DIFFERENT Epstein made these donations, not the deceased p*dophile.

Dems Now Try to Dox Epstein Victims, Release Child P*rn.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) explained Tuesday that there remain significant issues with the Democrat-led discharge petition that would force the release of the Epstein Files held by the federal government. While the Republican House leader acknowledged that he lacks the votes to block the measure, he also made clear that Republican efforts to amend the discharge petition to ensure the privacy rights of victims and those with no criminal ties to Epstein were rejected by Democrats. Additionally, Johnson raised concerns that the petition lacks language preventing the release of Child Sex Abuse Material (CSAM) and sealed grand jury testimony—the latter of which has had no adversarial challenge.

“Our side has been insistent that this matter must be handled very carefully,” the Republican Speaker explained before detailing that the language used in the Democrat-led discharge petition is so vague that it provides no protections for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims or even provisions to bar the release of CSAM materials collected from Epstein’s properties. Speaker Johnson continued: “We want maximum transparency,” though he warned that as currently written, the discharge petition is likely to muddy the waters further.

“So what am I to do as a leader in a situation like this?” Johnson posed during his morning press conference on Tuesday, ahead of the vote. He continued: “I called my counterpart in the Senate, Leader Thune, and I talked through this with him and I shared our deep concerns. And of course they share those concerns as well.”

“So I am very confident that when this moves forward in the process, if and when it is processed in the Senate—which it is no certainty that it will be—that they will take the time, methodically, to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House, to amend this discharge petition and to make sure these protections are there,” Johnson stated.

Overall, House Republicans presented five key objections to the Democrat-led discharge petition as it is written. Namely, that it fails to protect the right to privacy of Epstein’s victims. While a number of the women preyed upon by the deceased pedophile financier have come forward, there are still many who have chosen not to go public with their allegations or horrific experiences. In addition, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans note that the release of sealed grand jury materials—which have not undergone adversarial challenges—risks implicating potentially innocent individuals in Epstein’s crimes, effectively creating a new class of victim.

Thirdly, they note that the petition fails to create adequate guardrails preventing the release of CSAM or child pornography that may be contained within the files, especially from materials seized from Epstein’s properties. Their fourth objection pertains to the impact the petition could have on future investigations, as it provides no protections for the identities of whistleblowers, informants, or undercover law enforcement involved in gathering evidence against Epstein, and who may be involved in current and ongoing investigations.

Clintons Dodge Epstein Depositions As Trump Demands Total File Release

Bill and Hillary Clinton have officially refused to comply with House Oversight Committee subpoenas ordering them to sit for depositions about their ties to financier to the elite and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) broke the news on Monday, stating “Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before House Oversight for their depositions regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Notice how House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it.”

The subpoenas, issued in August by Chairman James Comer (R-KY), set Hillary’s deposition for October 9 and Bill’s for October 14. After their attorneys requested delays, the Clintons have now stonewalled entirely.

Comer has long flagged Bill Clinton as a “prime suspect,” citing more than 20 flights on the Lolita Express, multiple trips to Epstein’s island, and at least 17 visits by Epstein to the Clinton White House.

Rep. James Comer Exposes House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ Connection to Deceased P*dophile Jeffrey Epstein

The Democrat Party’s efforts to lie and humiliate President Trump over the Epstein files continue to blow up in their faces as their own connection to the deceased pedophile is exposed.

In recent days, House minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has accused Republicans of running a p*dophile protection program. But now, he has become ensnared as well.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) took to the House floor on Tuesday and turned the tables on Jeffries by exposing that the Democrat leader has a notable connection to the p*dophile.

Comer explained that he had obtained an email showing that Democrat fundraisers had organized an event where Epstein could meet privately with Jeffries to assist in their efforts to seize the House in 2013.

This means that Jeffries was actively begging for money from Epstein.

It’s also important to note that this all occurred AFTER Epstein had already been convicted years earlier in 2008.

“Another email shows that Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their 2013 effort to win a majority,” Comer explained.

“So, Hakeem Jeffries’ campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein! That’s what we found in the last document batch,” he continued.

Stacey Plaskett was texting Jeffrey Epstein and taking advice from him during a 2019 Congressional hearing with former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

Rep Ralph Norman (R-SC) on Tuesday introduced a resolution to censure Democrat Stacey Plaskett and strip her from the House Intelligence Committee.

“I’ve introduced a resolution to censure Stacey Plaskett and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee,” Norman said.

“Her coordination with Jeffrey Epstein during official congressional business is disgraceful, unethical, and an affront to this institution,” he said.

“That’s corruption of judgment at the highest level,” he added.

The effort to censure Plaskett passed the first hurdle but failed later Tuesday evening after six Republicans joined the Democrats.
