Aw, yea. He wasn’t expecting this, and we could tell. It was in preparation for a hearing. He was on his way to the room and, well, got caught before he could duck into safety. Oh, if we all could do this. Catch someone before they get into shelter, euphemistically speaking. You’ll enjoy this. Without a doubt, you’ll like it. With gratitude for Raw Story:
Three Epstein survivors confronted Rep. James Comer (R-KY) in a moment that made the GOP lawmaker visibly uncomfortable, just minutes before a closed-door interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi was set to question her on Friday about deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. As Comer was taking questions from the press, he was forced to respond to the victims who were on Capitol Hill before the House Oversight Committee meeting. The closed-door interview was not videotaped but was expected to focus on the “sloppy rollout of the Epstein files,” MS NOW anchor Ali Vitali reported.
Indeed. Sloppy rollout is an understatement, and we still don’t have half of them. Blanche had better watch his step, because if the survivors caught Comer in the hallway, they could catch Acting AG, Todd Blanche, if he came in for anything. Plus, this was out in the ‘public eye’. They are not going away. This was a masterpiece of planning. They got Comer good. We “gotta love it”. It’s public knowledge now. There’s some definite glee behind these words coming out via my fingers.
“In a remarkable moment just a short time ago, a group of Epstein survivors peppered oversight committee Chair James Comer with their own questions ahead of Bondi’s session,” Vitali said. “These people cannot be brought in under transcribed interviews. Can you ensure that they would please be brought in under oath?” Sharlene Rochard, an Epstein survivor, asked Comer. The chairman of the committee seemed surprised by the line of questioning.
His expression must have been “huh?”. He wasn’t expecting them, so he had no pat answers ready. He should have known some of them would be there. They’ve been to every single interview or other such thing regarding Epstein. They were not redacted, and they are pissed about it. All these survivors who had chosen to stay behind the scenes are now public. And that’s baloney. There isn’t a word good enough to describe it. But what would you bet Bondi doesn’t answer anything about that? She didn’t care in the public hearing, where Bondi wouldn’t even acknowledge them. It should enrage us.
“If you lie to Congress, it’s a felony,” Comer said. “So, it’s, you know, we’re bringing them in. We’re bringing people in that have never been brought in before.” “Survivors’ names over and over and over werePamBondi exposed,” Liz Stein, Epstein survivor, told Comer. “Yet we see time and time again, perpetrators’ names have been redacted when they shouldn’t have been. Are we going to get some answers?” Comer responded. “I hope so, those are the questions we’re going to ask,” he said. “And you know, we’re doing this. We want justice for the survivors.” “Stunning to see them confront Comer themselves,” Vitali added.
Stunning is one word to describe this. Gobsmacked is another. Impressive is a third. And we could go on and on. They want answers. They are tired of Congress and the DoJ screwing them. They came out for a reason. They will not rest until they have answers about what happened with the rollout of the files. Why haven’t the remainder been dropped? And why were all of them exposed, including the ones who wanted to remain quiet? Enough brave women are pushing for answers. The others didn’t need to come out. They should not have been endangered like this. The names of the other men that they know are in the files have been redacted to cover Trump’s fat, diapered arse. But the survivors will not stop. And neither will we.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
