Every one of these recipients of a Comer Down fer a Hee-haw Dance should accept... and use all of their time to speak truth to power; talk about how Jimmer is using his power to aid and abet (after the fact) a child predator. Ask him to explain why they're being subpoenaed while the DOJ spent tens of thousands of hour scrubbing "TRUMP" from the files. I really think this should be done while flipping the bird at him, well, not flipping so much as holding it up there in his traitor face every second they are on record.

Trump could announce that he himself dropped the dime on Jeffrey Epstein and make all the QAnon stories come true. He got cozy with Epstein to get on the inside. He saw terrible things. He bided his time, collected evidence, and then sprung his trap!

One has to wonder who else in GOPland is on Epstein's client list. I wouldn't be surprised if Rush Limbaugh, and other right-wing personalities are listed.

I suggest changing "personalities" to "perverts" for greater accuracy.

Dershowitz, we know.

Scalia? Ralph Reed? Rick Scott? So many likely people.

For "craft a unified response" read, "decide whether to give the child rapist in chief eight coats of whitewash or whether just five will suffice."

All the whitewash applied to Tom Sawyer's auntie's fence wouldn't be enough.

"Anyway, in one final piece of Epstein news, ABC News is reporting based on whatever its Trump administration sources leaked that Ghislaine Maxwell told Todd Blanche that Donald Trump did absolutely nothing concerning that she ever saw! So it’s all fine!"

Given that the only people there were the proven rapist Trump's lawyer Blanche, Maxwell and her lawyer, can anyone guess who leaked this?

Also, from Maxwell's perspective, wouldn't "concerning" mean "refusing to rape 14-year-olds like they are your property?"

Comer is a very unserious person in a very serious position he had no business occupying. But by all means let him and his GOP spineless colleagues waste more time and more of our tax dollars posturing and deflecting. The last things Trump’s toadies should ever want are: Mrs. Clinton testifying under oath (they obviously can not recall how badly her 11 hour testimony last time turned out for them); the legal arguments by competent counsel (as opposed to the mendacious clowns with no credibility now squatting in the DOJ); and more focus on the Epstein files Trump does not want released except in a highly redacted form with zero credibility.

If only tarring and feathering hadn't gone out of style. But there's always the gentle art of "necklacing."

Comer has issued a bunch of subpoenas.

When is someone going to do something with its homophone subpenis? Or is it too obvious?

He's going to get away with this too. I just hope it sows enough discontent with the Repub. party as to TANK them in the mid-terms, since they will so heavily be (hate to use the word) RIGGED against us.

Unprovoked? There were three people tracking the water buffalo - apparently, he noticed them.

Jethro Dull's pre-pedo birthday card news drop visit to the Murdoch's in Montana? Now this? It's a shame the left isn't a bunch of pigfuck conspiracy theorists because I could make a ton of money* with a podcast "just asking questions" about the impending tech-bro coup.

* would also require me to drop all my ethics.

"But not Alex Acosta, the former Trump official who gave Jeffrey Epstein that sweetheart deal. Huh!"

I hope Secretary Hillary brings THAT up

She might be the only one who has the nerve

Bondi did get a subpoena- but just for some documents. It's the last one in the trove. I'm sure she'll find a way to delay until Trump dies, though.

Good point about Acosta. I mean, he's on the board at Newsmax- I'm sure he's got the time.

Does her sobpoena also cover the donuts she was supposed to supply?

Acosta's a big fat quid pro quo key here

So that's why he DIDN'T get one

But we all knew that already -- let's see if literally ANYONE in MSM reports on it since the billionaire owners who are supposed to keep their noses out of editorial literally have their sticky hands in everything
