On Friday, Trump’s Department of Justice quietly filed a motion to block Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie’s request for an independent monitor to oversee the release of Epstein Files in the closed case against Ghislaine Maxwell.

In a new motion, the DOJ urged Judge Paul A. Engelmayer to reject the request, stating that the court had no authority to approve it because neither Khanna nor Massie were involved in the criminal case against Maxwell that landed her behind bars.

      Are women are allowed to have preferences or autonomy in the world she lives in? Probably just following orders there too.

      On the off chance she is allowed, as long as it involves adults and consent, no way it could possibly be more perverse and disgusting than the preferences of her boss and his friends running their child exploitation network, which she and every other member of his administration continue to protect and enable.

      The NatCons seem to have some very fucked up beliefs about “morality” when it comes to telling other people what is and isn’t acceptable. This is how they control everyone else and escape justice.

    Why should this matter? They’re well passed the deadline to release the files and no real action has been taken. C’mon you folks who discreetly made copies…leak already and let’s all hope that most americans still have moral outrage.

      I think the “big reveal” is that he’s corrupt as fuck, and cares about nobody but himself and his wealthy friends because they’re all protecting each other while they rape, murder, and pillage their way across the globe and make a mockery of the religions and nations they pretend to care about.

      And that like Putin, Xi, and Netenyahu, Trump is probably more along the lines of a middle manager on the national totem pole, at least in terms of the power he holds to make the final calls about what happens in the home base he helps control and desecrate.

      That’s it… That’s literally the truth behind every conspiracy “theory.”

      A pyramid scheme of creepy predatory psychopaths have basically run the world, create wars, manipulate markets, and high five while they help each other exploit, murder, and escape justice. All while convincing their supporters they were placed in charge by divine intervention or magic, and that upsetting the “natural order” that brought them to power would be going against God’s will. Oh, and warn others about the dangers of globalist governments and international law (obviously).

      I’m not sure, but given how much of a shit show the US “justice” system generally is, my guess is “probably” 😮‍💨
