Yet another epic failed indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. You just can’t fool citizens on a grand jury with MAGA propaganda. Why doesn’t DOJ stop embarrassing itself with political vendettas and actually investigate the Epstein ring?
Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video

Raskin, Pritzker, AOC, Newsom—all those directly speaking out are helping all of us. Even the MAGAs who have no idea they’re losing their country.
Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Congress has the power to subpoena witnesses, hold public hearings, and establish an independent commission to review the Epstein files.
What remains unclear is whether lawmakers have the political will to use those tools.
