Despite being threatened by the President of the United States, these Senators and Representatives will not be deterred. They will not be silenced. They will not be intimidated. They love this country and believe we are better than what the politics represent!

Eisen: It’s exactly as legally effective as if you and I wrote an indictment of Trump right here on MeidasTouch. She’s an insurance lawyer. The indictment wasn’t even presented to the grand jury. None of us have ever heard of anything like this. This case is going to be flushed by the courts

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Trump “spent hours” at Epstein’s house and “of course knew about the girls.”
He lied to the country, and Republicans helped him bury the truth.
Now that Democrats have the 218 signatures to force a vote, there are ZERO excuses left.
Release. The. Epstein. Files. Now.
