Source: www.foxnews.comPresident Donald J. Trump said, “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party.”
Why haven’t Democrats shown the same transparency — and what else are they hiding?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-U.S. Virgin Islands) solicited (and was given) $30,000 from Epstein for the DCCC after he was already a convicted sex offender? Or the fact that Plaskett herself accepted maxed out donations from Epstein for her own campaign? Or the fact that the wife of the former Democrat governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands told Epstein “we would have a friend in Stacey” if he made said donations? Or the fact that Plaskett was literally texting Epstein during a committee hearing?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that former President Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein’s aircraft 26 times? Or the fact that one of Epstein’s victims wrote that she saw Clinton on Epstein’s island with two young women? Or the fact that Clinton’s visit to the island was corroborated by one of his former top aides?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the “long relationship” and storied friendship that Larry Summers — ex-Harvard President, Clinton Treasury Secretary, and prominent Democrat — had with Epstein, who described himself as Summers’ “wing man”?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that Democrat so-called “journalist” Katie Couric had dinner at Epstein’s residence after he was already a convicted sex offender who had served jail time?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that Reid Hoffman — billionaire Democrat megadonor — visited Epstein’s “pedophile island,” attended a dinner with him, and even planned to stay at his New York mansion?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that the Democrat National Committee refused to return $32,000 in donations from Epstein?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that Michael Wolff “encouraged Jeffrey Epstein to blackmail then-presidential candidate Donald Trump — insisting the convicted pedophile could generate a ‘debt’ from him”?
It’s time for Democrats to answer for their longstanding ties to Epstein. Then, we can get back to what matters to the American people.
