There's a huge injustice that happened.
Leslie Groff and Nadia Marcinki were the ones who arranged the logistics ,also joined in the massages and the abuses that followed. Recruited to the network as child victims, they became enablers in the end.

They were never indicted because of the immunity granted by prosecutors without involving the victim's lawyers.

Ghislaine had to be jailed. Her charges skipped every other abuser laser focused only on Epstein.
The picture that emerged was tfat Ghislaine and Epstein were the only criminals in that network .
A judge should throw out the immunity deals of everyone .

I don't think anyone ever asked Epstein thousand plus victims what they would want. SDNY was interested in locking up Epstein and Ghislaine only. The FBI never searched his Nevada ranch, the FBI has never confirmed whether his CCTV footage was used to blackmail other people. These are matters that will one day be exposed.A matter of when not if.

The purpose of a prosecution is to give the victims closure, punish the perpetrators and serve as a warning to any ~~aspiring~~ lawbreaker.

Law enforcement or the FBI won't mention names or buddies if they have no evidence that they did anything wrong.

This guy has been using the Epstein thing for clout. He even insinuates Trump is involved.

He has a verbose personality, so this information means nothing - all these people he mentioned are already in public records released by the government.

Why do people think Obama was a great president when the numbers say otherwise.
He got in with a Supermajority Senate and a Majority house ,in 6 years he had lost a total of 68 House Seats and 14 Senate Seats.

2010 Midterm Elections
U.S. Senate
Pre-election seats: 59
Minus seats: 6 lost
Majority status: Kept majority

House of Representatives
Pre-election seats: 257
Minus seats: 63 lost
Majority status: Lost majority

2014 Midterm Elections

U.S. Senate
Pre-election seats: 55
Minus seats: 9 lost
Majority status: Lost majority

House of Representatives
Pre-election seats: 201
Minus seats: 13 lost
Majority status: Remained in minority

A CEO who drives his organization into losses has a nane.: a failure..

There is not racial profiling in immigration crackdown. Its logical that if people of color are the majority of illegal immigrant, then they will be the demographic most represented in arrest

The scale of Trump deportation is at that point because of the irresponsible Biden admin that opened the border

I've been very consistent with Epstein.He was the devil incarnate hobnobbing around with rich democrats mostly with an axe to grind against Trump.
They went to his homes and islands where these victims were abused. The abusers paid off many of the victims in return for non disclosures.
Obama admin knew it ,Under Trump Epstein was finally brought to justice.
I have a good suggestion for the victims if they are reading this. Draw up a list and have someone in Congress read out the list. On the floor Congress critters have permanent immunity .

Bayelsaowei, I'm way out of your class.
The bold above.
I maintain that Epstein abused thousands of children,he had hundreds of mostly democrat friends who visited his homees,travelled in his planes and definitely participated in abuse of the children. Many of his friends were innocent, those who made repeat visits to his homes and islands have a lot to explain. His plea deal was negotiated without victims input ,later on many victims were paid off and signed NDAs. I believe some of those who paid may have been innocent and didn't want their names dragged though the mud. I also believe some of the victims were mature enough and were literally trapped.

On the House floor tonight, I read the names of several Epstein coconspirators who should be investigated and prosecuted.

I also began collecting 218 signatures for the discharge petition to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II. pic.twitter.com/fgpebvxNpP

How many Republicans you see here? ~~Drumph~~ ??
Leslie Groff. Given immunity . She was a victim who became his personal assistant for 20 + years. She is the one who called the girls,arranged to pick and drop them up and handed them the money. She basically maintained his diary .She joined in the abuse too . Her testimony would send many to jail .
Nadia Marcinko,his co-pilot, former victim also got immunity Her testimony would send many to jail.

What trauma is that of being deported.
Don't make it sound like the end of the world.
Would you rather your house burns down than getting deported.

bayelsaowei:
My drive is preventing this..

Which means meticulously adhering to due process.. it’s the reason why there are procedures in executing immigration enforcement..

The Trauma and reputational damage to the victims.. the cost implications for the government via huge compensations..

The purpose of having previous administrations within any government, including Trump’s own, is to learn from past mistakes and incidents. This allows for better ways of executing enforcement..

Humongous money can’t be appropriated for enforcing immigration procedures all for citizens to be part of those who are deported.. and this is ongoing in real time..

So they just didn't pick on him for no reason.
Because Brian José Morales García holds dual citizenship, he also has official records registered in Mexico, which contained two critical mistakes:
Name Spelling:
A clerk in Mexico registered his first name using the common Spanish spelling "Bryan" instead of his legal U.S. spelling, "Brian".
Birth Date:
The same clerk changed his birth date on the Mexican paperwork without cross-checking or verifying it against his official American birth certificate.

When federal immigration agents ran record checks during his detention, these mismatched details led them to accuse him of using fake U.S. documents and entering the country illegally. The government used this conflicting paperwork to cast doubt on his identity until his lawyers presented definitive hospital records and certified Colorado documents to resolve the issue

Maybe you can blame the targets set on how many to deport.

Basilico, raumdeuter and benalvino3..

See a US citizen wrongfully deported and now returned back to the US after five months.I remember when you guys dragged me for sounding the alarm that US citizens are being wrongly deported…

What a shame to the United States under Trump.

This is the racial profiling we’ve been complaining about, aided and abetted by the conservative SC which has led to the abduction and deportation of this American citizen..

The highhandedness and malfeasance of this administration is alarming.. all under the leadership of the pdf and sex offender.

In October 2023, Michael Cohen told Ben Meiselas, one of the founders of the MeidasTouch propaganda network, that he was THE witness for Norm Eisen’s proxy, Letitia James’s bogus case, and that he provided the documents the case was built on.

In January 2026, Michael Cohen said that while cooperating with both the Alvin Bragg and Letitia James’s office, he “felt pressured and coerced” to provide testimony that would satisfy prosecutors and help them build their cases against Donald Trump.

Specifically regarding James’s civil case, he wrote that he “felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking.”

It’s telling that the MediasTouch propaganda network immediately dropped Michael Cohen after he published his confession. It’s also telling that Norm Eisen hasn’t publicly addressed Michael’s statements.

The problem with Michael Cohen is that he has lied so much that you have no idea what is true or not.

Regardless, he spent years bad mouthing Trump, Trump’s family, and MAGA so the damage was done. He was especially brutal on Rudy Giuliani.

The only thing I would want from Michael Cohen is all of his communications with Norm Eisen, Danya Perry, the MeidasTouch propagandists, Lev Parnas, Alvin Bragg, Leticia James, and everyone else involved in the conspiracy.

For example ,If they brought 1000 refugees fleeing Chad to your local village then enroll their children in the local schools ,the locals will not be happy.
It's common for people to resent being forced to accomodate new residents.Its normal and expected.

Conservatives are heavily anti regulations because they are bought over by big corporations who hate to spend money on making sure their products are safe for consumption. They convince their supporters that this is what small govt means. We are watching the results in real time as more and more people get sick from the shoddy practices of these corporations.

Same pattern was notable during Trump’s first administration. He relaxed regulations on companies and they started putting out dangerous stuff out there, resulting in major recalls at the time. It’s happening again now and it seems to be happening at a higher rate.

Can't imagine what will happen if Trunp allows ranchers to process their own meat.
American laws are too restrictive creating a virtual Monopoly of all meat consumed.
4 companies decide how much you'll pay for processed beef..
Nothing like slaughtering a pig and selling the pork to neighbors.There are experts who cut a chunk and determine its exact weight using their hands.

Hypocrisy.

Mamdani 30% discounted grocery stores are for only New York citizens.When asked how he plans to ensure non-New Yorkers can’t buy these “discounted” groceries, his answer was a “library-esque” ID card that only New York citizens could get.

Yes that's a government issued ID.

When it comes to voting, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro recently claimed that “We are not going to turn our elections over to Donald Trump.” California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law to completely ban local voter ID requirements. And Matt Dietrich, spokesman for the Illinois State Board of Elections, said that Illinois does not require voters to show any type of photo ID at the polls, and went on to say voters only need to sign a sworn statement on their voter registration application that they are a U.S. citizen.
