Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rejected a request by Democrats yesterday to subpoena four major banks — JPMorgan, BNY, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank — about their connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The subpoena would have looked into $1.5 billion worth of suspicious transactions previously flagged by the banks. It comes as the committee’s ranking member, Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin, grilled FBI Director Kash Patel yesterday about the Epstein files.

Wild how Republicans keep bending over backwards to protect pedophile rapists while also calling for state-backed violence on their political opponents!

Yep. Also bonkers how Democrats began directly asking about the ties to Epstein, big banks, and global leaders only hours before Charlie Kirk was assassinated which then gave them a very public reason to call for that state-backed violence.

I am convinced that the shooter was coerced under extreme duress by pedo elite interests. There is just about nothing that can change my mind. Even if the files are released, they already admitted guilt and none of the docs can be trusted IMO. Couple that with the UFO video shown to congress the day before and NASA's announcement that they almost certainly have discovered evidence of ET life, it looks just like a coverup distraction, or at the very least, does not pass the smell check. I'm throwing the bullshit flag here. They actually managed to stress everyone out so bad that nobody cares about UFO and ET news developments, and that makes me sad too.

Why would you put "republicans" in the first sentence and not in the headline?

WHY

let’s see some leaks

Couldn’t any cop claiming to be investigating pedophiles just get a local judge to get a warrant to get those records?

Then they could just give a copy to any sitting democrat in the senate who can just put it in the public and then this whole bullshit game can be over

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That would be a warrant, not a subpoena

Thank you for the correction
