Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) slammed congressional Republicans in a Saturday MSNBC interview over efforts in the House to force a vote on releasing investigative records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Crockett accused Republicans of not wanting to pursue a measure that would force the Department of Justice to release all of its files on Epstein, who died in prison as he faced charges of sexual trafficking.
“I absolutely think they are gonna run away with this as quickly as possible,” Crockett said. “I don’t anticipate that we will get to any resolution on this.”
It’s not entirely clear what will happen with the controversy surrounding Epstein this week.
For much of the month, President Trump’s supporters have been divided over whether information should be released; much of the MAGA movement was upset over a report from the Department of Justice that said its evidence showed Epstein died by suicide in prison, and that there was no “clients list.”
A petition in the House led by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) could force a floor vote on releasing files related to Epstein once it acquires a majority of signatures in the chamber. At least 10 Republicans have signed on so far.
Separately, the House Rules Committee last week advanced another measure that would give the Department of Justice more discretion over what to release.
DOJ: “We demand full access to all your private information and voting data, but will only give you partial access to information about the rich pedophiles we’re protecting.”
“Trust us, it’s for the good of the country/world. Some of these people/families/corporations are just too big to fail.”
She was right. They closed shop and fled with their tails tucked between their legs, like the feckless turds they are
