Hey guys remember when Trump's DOJ and FBI said there wasn't a client list nor evidence warranting investigation into third parties:

The US Department of Justice and FBI have concluded that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not have a so-called client list that could implicate high-profile associates, and that he did take his own life - contradicting long-held conspiracy theories about the infamous case.

...


FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino had previously questioned the official narrative regarding Epstein's death - although since joining the Trump administration, both have acknowledged that Epstein took his own life.

The memo adds that investigators "did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties".

So then why is he ordering his DOJ to conduct investigations all of a sudden, if those investigations "turned up nothing" and were already closed?

You'd think these guys would at least be able to keep their story straight, but instead it's whiplashing all over the place.

Well, I will say that if an "investigation" is ongoing, that in itself may just be reason enough to not release anything pertaining to Epstein because doing so would "jeapordize" the new "investigation." So I think it's just a reason to keep all that stuff under wraps indefinitely.

I really think you're right and that's the only reason they're announcing an investigation. It's so blatantly obvious. Especially after having announced "Nothing to see here. Case closed"

And just last night trump did a 180 on this, saying all files should be released. But just wait a few days.....the guy Bondi appointed to "investigate" all this (Jay Clayton) will come out and say that no further information can be released due to the ongoing "investigation." And just like that, trump magically says he wants the files released but there's an "investigation" preventing such release. They must really think we're all stupid.

It's worked for them so far.

Maybe they'll dump a bunch of files, but hold back ones they claim are crucial for the "investigation" . Who knows, Jay Clayton seems smart, qualified and with a breadth of life experience many other RWers don't possess - studied at Cambridge, Engineering degree, Beach Patrol and Penn Law rugby team, etc. MAYBE he'll do a competent job.

FWIW

He's not actually saying release the files, he's saying go ahead and vote to release the files.


He has the power to actually release them, all he has to do is call Pam.

Ricci, along with many others, clearly hasn't read the DSM regarding "pedophilia."

It's part of the overall trend to make everything sound as bad as possible, and to make all bad things equally bad. A "sexual assault" can now mean anything from violent rape to an unwanted butt pat. "Children" frequently include 16-17 year olds. Who knows all that's included in "abuse."

All that makes the topic and the problem less clear, not more so, and undoubtedly results in a lot of true victims not being taken seriously because of all the fluff.

Yeah, Kelly is technically correct, but society has never learned or used Hebephilia and Ephebophilia. As "the national spokesperson for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) since April 25, 2007" Ricci certainly knows the distinctions.

... Ricci made her film debut at age ten in Mermaids (1990), which was followed by a breakout role as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family (1991) and its 1993 sequel....

She was probably the subject of both, but I don't know if she was ever assaulted or it was otherwise made overt. If it's her opinion that pedophilia is equally as bad she should still make her use of the terminology clear.

IMO popular RWer Megyn Kelly is a danger to everyone, not just children.
