    1. **From Rep. Ro Khanna, representative for California’s 17th congressional district:** 

      President Donald Trump continues to dismiss the Epstein files as “a hoax.” But it is impossible to silence and dismiss the courageous survivors who are sharing their stories. Releasing the Epstein files is a rare issue that unites Americans on both the right and the left: We cannot have an America where the rich and powerful are protected while young women are abused and silenced.

      Releasing the files is not about scoring political points or winning elections. It’s about justice for the over 1,000 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and their families. It’s about public trust in government and transparency at a moment when there is a deep skepticism of our institutions. It’s about standing up to special interests and the well connected who are being shielded from accountability.

      Those who have tried to politicize this issue have failed. The bipartisan discharge petition that I am leading with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie will soon have the 218 signatures required to force a vote on our bill to release the full files — with redactions to protect the survivors. The petition has 216 signatures currently. When two newly elected Democrats are sworn in this fall, it will reach 218.

      Trump solves everything by calling it fake news and his supporters pretend to believe it.

      Charlie Kirk called for the release of the Epstein files

      We should all honour his wishes and demand the release of the Epstein files

      We know they’re not a hoax. It’s totally not the reason why congress has voted ***THREE*** times to not release them. Totally no skeleys in that closet HHMMMM???

      Hold these dipshits accountable.

      I’ll preface this statement by saying I do not want anything bad to happen to the extremely courageous women and girls who have been through hell and back to find peace after this ordeal. But I genuinely only trust them to say who’s on that list at this point. I don’t want any “official government release”, I want to hear the story from the horse’s mouth. I have much more reason to believe the person/people it happened to than anyone who’s vying for a personal or political gain

      If anybody is calling the Epstein files a hoax, I will automatically assume you’re a pedophile. No other questions asked. Release the files

    7. I would like to see a prosecutors office press charges against everyone involved, just to watch Pam Bondi have to make it go away. I think it would be worth getting fired for.

      This was also very interesting-

      This study found people on either extreme of the political spectrum were equally likely to engage in victim blaming.

      Left and right need to stay focused on the Epstein files. Stay focused people.

    10. DarkArmyLieutenant on

      Well they’re never going to be. Not unless someone is brave enough to leak that shit.

    11. Biden should have pursued the Epstein case while he was in office. We could have seen some justice happen by now, and maybe Trump wouldn’t be president again.

    12. Apprehensive_Rub3897 on

      The President of the United States literally drew a picture of a naked, prepubescent teen and signed his name as pubic hair as a birthday card to a convicted pedophile who died while in government custody during the same president’s administration. What more evidence is need to AT A MINIMUM call for a special ~~council~~counsel?

    13. spaceocean99 on

      Someone just needs to release them and take whatever punishment is handed down. That’s would be an actual hero.
