Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

He said the government until now has denied the existence of the Ms. Farmer’s report, and that it was “shameful” that it was kept secret. “There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,” Mr. Edwards said. An internal investigation of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein case, released in 2020, made no mention of Ms. Farmer’s original complaint.

Absolutely Bonkers

“There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,”

And may I add, "and then hang every damn one of them as traitors."

    "and then hang every damn one of them as traitors."

    Normally, aid agree 100%, being a Traitor is about the lowest form of scum there is, but there is something worse - a pedophile, and they're all pedophiles.

    So hang them as both Traitors AND Pedophiles, and make THAT their permanent legacies.

    And most pedophiles don't do shit, most suffer their entire life with their sexuality but would never hurt a child - those are a different kind and more often than not- not actually pedophiles

    That doesn't excuse MAGAs. They unapologetically support and provide cover for people they know are pedophiles. That makes them pedophiles.

    If you had a roommate who was bringing home children to molest, and you refused to address it, lied to people about it, provided alibis for the offender, misdirected investigations, etc., guess what? You're a pedophile, too.

    ALL MAGAs are pedophiles. Every last one of them.

    They are enablers, apologists or such but not pedophiles, a lot of them did molest teens or children, but you don't have tp be a pedophile for that.

    Look, I am not tryong to cover for them or any such thing, all I am saying is, is to use words correctly, espescially psychological diagnosis such as pedophelia in the right amd defined way. MAGA is already blurring the language with their blantantly wrong use, let's not do it ourselfs, otherwise pedophilia won't mean anything and all.

    I'm not interested in scientific accuracy. We've been getting bludgeoned by, and losing to, vicious propaganda for decades, and you want to parse a simple political message?

    I'm not going to go into any layering of defenses by pedophiles or their enablers and defenders. If they are covering for Epstein and his friends in ANY way at all, then they are PEDOPHILES, plain and simple. Stop defending them, or YOU'RE a pedophile, too.

    See how this works? Get on board, or get run over. This is fucking WAR!

    You can hate someone without them having to have a universally bad description. I am not defending them, in fact I would love to have them face punishment in the most crucifiying way. And not only those on the list, but every single American Maga fascist.

    EVERY.

    SINGLE.

    ONE.

    This is the disgusting Michelle Obama Doctrine: When they go low, we go high. That's what got MAGA elected TWICE! It's weak and cowardly, and voters fucking HATE it. They want warriors, and that's why people vote for MAGA, even though they are literally EVIL. What Dem voters really want, is when they go low, we kick them in the fucking teeth, REAL HARD!

    Hate has nothing to do with it. They have engaged in, and enthusiastically defended every single characterization I made. It is an accurate description of EVERY MAGA, and they should be painted with that description on bright red paint.

    We are long past politeness. They are kicking us in the balls all day every day, and you really hate it a lot, but you don't want to protect your 'nads because you think it might offend the kicker?

    So fucking weak and infuriatingly cowardly. Who would vote for that?

    Just ew.

    Look, I don't know who you're arguing with but it's not me if I am not mistaken, you reiterate ur initial statement in different profanity withput actually responding. So if you want to lash out at someone, please do so with the next random fascist or an LLM

    It's simple: I'm arguing with the person who stepped up and defended MAGAs for their defense of pedophiles.

    And when you've resorting to whining about profanity, you've lost the entire argument, and exposed yourself as a church-lady type who is almost certainly a MAGA, and that makes you a PEDOPHILE.

    Boys, boys....cool down. You both make excellent points, and I applaud you. But let's not waste our hate on each other, it's what republiKKKlans want, so let's not give it to them :)

    I'm done with weak-willed Democrats who are afraid to engage with the worst threat this nation has faced since the Civil War. They are the problem, and it's time to solve the problem. If you aren't willing to fight, get out of the way, and shut up. Stop trying to convince people that the better path is to be weak and wait for EVIL to finally change their ways. They won't, they're EVIL.

    Ds are LOSERS, and if they want to change that, they need to stop sniffing their own farts, and get in the game.

    I too, am less than impressed by the current crop of Dem leadership, and they are historically piss weak too. But I LOATHE the R's who are currently destroying society as we know it, and see them as the largest threat, at this time. Once Donny 2 Dolls and his corrupt cohorts have been dealt with, then that may be the better time to deal with lickspittle Dems. As with much of life, sometimes we need to balance things and triage what is most important. Once we have dealt with the metastasizing brain tumor, then is a better time to deal with the herpes and erectile dysfunction.

    Edit: If there's an early opportunity to shiv Chucky Fucking Schumer, then we should definitely take that.....

    Dude, you and I are eye-to-eye, even on Schmuck Schumer.

    I'd love to see AOC do to him what she did to that calcified old fart she kicked out to get her current seat. Bernie can't last forever, and I'd hate to see the Senate with no progressive representation at all, and she'd be the perfect choice to pick up his sword. I'm sure he'd agree, which is why he took her on a speaking tour with him. That's as strong an endorsement of her as possible.

    Nothing wrong with traitors, our founders were traitors.

    Fuck pedophiles, traitors get judged on a case-by-case basis.

    No, the founding fathers were Patriots, not traitors. A traitor deeply betrays the people around him for his own benefit. Our founding fathers were not traitors, most had never set foot on British soil. They were not British, they were American, part of a British colony, over which they had no control. It is not treason for an oppressed colony to declare their independence.

    On a case by case basis, all MAGAs are Traitors. ALL. It is a basic defining characteristic, just like being a pedophile, or a racist is also a basic MAGA trait.

    Okay, allow me to rephrase... the founding fathers, many of whom considered themselves traitors, and were considered traitors by the crown; so they were only traitors by definition and not to Barney

    I am not aware that they thought of themselves as actual traitors. They did understand that they were viewed as traitors by the Crown, and would be executed as such, but of course the enemy thought they were traitors. Who fucking cares what the enemy thinks?

    Bottom line is that history does not record them as traitors, any more than any oppressed people who rise up and reclaim their country are traitors.

    Humans are under no obligation to remain loyal to a government that abuses and oppresses them. In cases like that, those who abuse the government for their personal benefit, at the expense of the people, are the real traitors.

    Well, they still knew they were traitors. They wrote a lot of letters about it.

    History does record them as traitors, for all to see. You are simply in denial of it. They are real traitors, there are no traitors if they are not to be considered as such. Every traitor has reasons.
