Hang on to your hats...
This may be the wildest ride internally since the Civil War. It transcends even the OJ Simpson case which had EVERYTHING: murder, sex, exquisite-looking people, police corruption, celebrity clients, attorneys, and witnesses, mystery, Los Angeles as a venue, and incredible crime scene technology, to name just a few. This has the potential to blow the lid off every aspect of American hierarchy in politics, academia, corporate, and millionaire/billionaire class, again, to name just a few.
This could change the landscape of the contemporary American Experience. Eventually, this will all be revealed.
I hope and pray.

Did any DU-folk remind PCIntern that the House resolution was brought to the floor by the Rs, with Trump's concurrence? And that if it is voted down, the vast majority of "No" votes will be by Dems?

Protection Racket Media Circles the Wagons Around Epstein Pal Stacey Plaskett

On Friday, the Washington Post blew the lid off a major scandal involving influence from Jeffrey Epstein and a member of Congress. Had that member been a Republican, it might have dominated the weekend headlines, the Sunday talk shows, and social media to this very moment ... . And even a little bit of digging would have exposed far more meaty connections between the Representative and the ephebophilic sex trafficker.
Instead, the Stacey Plaskett scandal could've been called The Dog That Mostly Didn't Bark.
Let's start with the WaPo's devastating article and work our way forward through the silence. Bear in mind that Epstein's sex-trafficking crimes had once again popped up on the national radar in early February 2019, thanks to a Miami Herald exposé on the slimy plea deal he got from Alex Acosta – a new look prompted by criticism from then-Senate Republican Ben Sasse in November 2018. Epstein had become toxic already, but not to Larry Summers and not to Plaskett, as the WaPo reported to their readers:
The newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that the convicted sex offender texted with a Democratic member of Congress, Del. Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, during a congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, and that those text messages may have influenced the congresswoman’s questions of Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer.
...
Though the name of Epstein’s texting partner is redacted in the documents, time-stamps on the text messages matched up with video from the hearing, as well as the messages’ contents, indicated that Epstein was texting with Plaskett, who represents the U.S. Virgin Islands as its nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives.
...
One would expect that such a story would dominate the headlines and the talk shows, especially given the Democrats' months-long, full-court press on the Epstein Files. The Protection Racket Media has other ideas about what makes news in the Epstein case, as Jorge Bonilla discovered watching the Sunday news shows:
The Plaskett story early enough for pre-production of This Week, and yet there was no mention whatsoever of what would otherwise be a scandal. There was likewise no mention of Plaskett on NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation, or CNN’s State of the Union.
As is the case with “news” in the Trump Era, the durability of a story is directly proportional to its ability to (a) cast aspersions on Donald Trump, and/or (b) cover up some other, more nefarious scandal. ...

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers steps down from public commitments after Epstein emails
BOSTON (AP) — Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University who once served as U.S. treasury secretary, says he will step back from public commitments after the release of emails showing he maintained a friendly relationship with Jeffrey Epstein long after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl in 2008.
Summers said in a statement that he would step back to “rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.”

Treasure Secretary to who, AP?
The second and third to the last paragraphs (= buried where few will read):
Summers served as treasury secretary from 1999 to 2001 under President Clinton. He was Harvard’s president for five years from 2001 to 2006. He is currently a professor and is a director of the school’s Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, from Massachusetts, told CNN she believes Harvard should sever ties with Summers, saying he “cannot be trusted” with students.

Come on SSG, why drag party affiliation into this? It is only significant if the potential offender is a Republican to include such messy details in a headline or story.

The whole point of getting the Epstein stuff released is to get Trump as evidenced by Ds not caring until he was in office again. They're hoping to find a way to "prove" he's a pedophile but they'll take whatever comes out and twist that into their desired version of reality.
And if there's nothing substantial about Trump then they'll of course claim that the evidence was scrubbed/tampered with. The MSM will buy into that too.

Yeah, it could change a lot of things but then again, it might just as well drive a stake through the heart of the vampire known as the Democratic Party too. It's a good thing that 99.9999% of the predictions over at DU never come true.
