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.

Senate Passes Epstein Files Transparency Act by Unanimous Consent – Bill Now Heads to Trump’s Desk

The Senate has officially passed the Epstein Transparency Act to compel the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. 

The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent as soon as it is transmitted from the House at the request of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer thinks this will help the Democrats, but we are expecting some high-profile Democrats to be named in the files.

No Senators objected to his request.

House Votes Against Censuring Democrat Stacey Plaskett Over Epstein Collusion – Here are the Republicans Who Joined the Dems

The House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Democrat Stacey Plaskett over her collusion with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.

Earlier Tuesday, the House voted to advance the measure to censure Plaskett and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee.

Later that evening, the House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett.

Every Democrat voted against the censure.

Three Republicans voted present, and three other GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats.

Here are the three GOP lawmakers who joined the Democrats via Fox News’ Bill Melugin:

Don Bacon (NE)
Lance Gooden (TX)
Dave Joyce (OH)

GOP Present Votes:

Andrew Garbarino (NY)
Jay Obernolte (CA)
Dan Meuser (PA)

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.

Lone Member of Congress to Vote Against Epstein Files Release Says it Was a ‘Principled’ Decision

Few political issues, if any, have taken a life of its own quite like the files pertaining to disgraced financier and power broker Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein — a convicted pedophile and apparent mastermind of a horrific underage sex trafficking ring — had made quite a number of powerful friends.

People naturally wanted justice after Epstein seemingly killed himself in August 2019. But people also just wanted answers.

And that includes people of all political persuasions.

According to The Hill, a bill looking to unseal the Epstein files passed almost unanimously across Democratic and Republican lines.

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna spearheaded the bill, which passed 427-1.

That lone dissenting vote belonged to Rep. Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana.

And he explained his controversial decision on social media:

I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses,…

“I have been a principled ‘NO’ on this bill from the beginning,” Higgins posted Tuesday. “What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America.

“As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people — witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc.”

Higgins then doubled down on his “no” vote (emphasis his).

“If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt,” Higgins posted. “Not by my vote. The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation that has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case.

Be Ready For The Next Epstein Revelation To Fall Flat

So much about this ridiculous “Release the Epstein files!” saga feels like the Russia-Collusion affair, most notably the fact that everyone invested in it is being taken for a ride. And once again, Democrat leaders and the dying news media are having fun with it, while the rest of us are throwing up.

A reality check is desperately needed. All indications are that Jeffrey Epstein and his depraved side piece Ghislaine Maxwell used a vast fortune, of largely unknown origin, to both buy access to powerful men and to perpetuate some kind of sex business involving a lot of underage women. That’s a tragic scandal with real victims, even as it’s treated by the media and much of the public as an entertaining tabloid series. (Though I’ll confess my sympathy for the victims parading in front of the Capitol building, giving hour-long press conferences where they do little more than call each other brave is quickly fading.)

Even so, President Trump put his support behind a bill to force his own Justice Department to release more or all information it has on Epstein, who killed himself in prison six years ago. The House passed the bill on Tuesday. If passed by the Senate in coming days, what will surely follow is the unmistakable thud of Democrat hopes and dreams falling from 5,000 feet flat.

How many times do we have to go through this? We just did it for the 1 billionth time last week when House Democrats dribbled out some cherry-picked email correspondence by Epstein. (Republicans subsequently revealed the full tranche of documents.) Epstein said that Trump — what? Is “borderline insane” and “dirty”? God knows we’ve never heard a member of the New York elite say that about the president.

Epstein also said of Trump in one email to writer Michael Wolff, “of course he knew about the girls as he asked [G]hislaine to stop.” What that means is anyone’s guess, but at worst, it seems to indicate Trump was opposed to whatever he knew about “the girls.” Trump has said he banned Epstein from one of his club resorts because he knew that Epstein was recruiting women who worked there, an account backed by the case of Virginia Giuffre, who described being trafficked by Epstein and who committed suicide earlier this year. (Giuffre stated she did not see Trump at Epstein’s home or on the island and that she did not witness him “partake in any sex with us.”)

Leading fundraising group for Democrats solicited Epstein years after he pleaded guilty in Florida

Desperate to tie President Donald Trump to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Democrats are ignoring their own ties shown in newly published documents to the deceased registered sex offender. 

One email in the more than 20,000 documents obtained from the Epstein estate and released publicly by the House Oversight Committee shows that a consulting firm working for now-House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, shortly after he was first elected to Congress in 2012, solicited Epstein for a donation. This came long after Trump barred Epstein from his Florida estate in 2007, when he said he cut ties with the financier. 

“Dear Jeffrey – We are thrilled to announce that we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” a team at Dynamic SRG, a political fundraising and public affairs firm, wrote to Epstein in a May 2013 email.

“Sometimes referred to as ‘Brooklyn’s Barack’, he is a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive voice for the people of New York City,” the firm said, touting Jeffries in the email. Jeffries’ name is listed on Dynamic SRG in a database of “selected current and former clients.” 

The email came roughly five years after Epstein became a registered sex offender in Florida and pleaded guilty to state prostitution crimes related to his alleged involvement with underage girls. He avoided federal charges through striking the controversial deal and served only 13 months in state prison. 

A year earlier, several underage girls had accused him of soliciting massages and sex acts for payment at his Palm Beach mansion. A Palm Beach grand jury officially charged Epstein in July 2006.

Yet, just four years after Epstein was released from prison, Jeffries’ fundraising firm invited the registered offender to join the new congressman at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraising dinner with President Barack Obama himself.

“Hakeem is committed to electing a Democratic majority in 2014 and is encouraging his friends to participate in the DCCC/DSCC fundraising dinner with President Obama this coming Monday night,” the Dynamic SRG team wrote. That fundraiser took place in Chicago.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said the new Epstein estate documents released by his committee show how the case has boomeranged on the Democrats, who have tried to pin the disgraced financier and sex offender on Trump. 

“So the evidence, the new evidence that came out from the estate, was that Democrats were working with Epstein, that many journalists were working with Epstein, all for one purpose, to try to embarrass Donald Trump,” Comer told the Just the News, No Noise TV show on Tuesday.

Idiot Schumer Makes a Fool of Himself When Asked Why Biden Never Released the Epstein Files

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made a fool of himself when asked why Joe Biden never released the Epstein files.

“Why wouldn’t [the Epstein files] have been released the past four years when President Biden was in office?” a reporter asked Schumer.

“Well, that’s the question every American is asking — not every American but so many Americans are asking…what the hell is he hiding?” Schumer said without specifying that he is referring to President Trump.

“Why doesn’t he want them released? When you don’t want something like this released when a whole lot of Republicans are calling for the release — his own party members… people ask the question, ‘What’s he hiding?!’” Schumer said.

The Democrats are always projecting.

President Trump on Sunday evening said the Republicans should vote to release all of the Epstein files.

Trump previously instructed the Justice Department to release transcripts related to the Epstein trafficking cases.
