(Crankers) I think we found the source of corruption in the government! The US House REJECTED censuring Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett over her collusion with disgraced pervert Jeffrey Epstein in an attempt to harm Donald Trump in 2019.
EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED TO PROTECT HER. The final vote was 209–214 and what makes it worse is the support that six Republicans showed up with. Three Republicans voted no and another three voted present.
So what does this tell you about the people who think it’s OK for Plaskett to talk to a pedophile during a hearing that could harm a sitting president?
Is that not corruption at the highest level or what? And Plaskett is defending it like it was nothing.
Plaskett is defending her past text communications with Jeffrey Epstein after newly released documents revealed that Epstein messaged her before and during a 2019 congressional hearing. The exchanges resurfaced as part of a broader release of Epstein-related files, prompting questions about her interactions with the convicted sex offender.
According to reporting from The Washington Post, Plaskett acknowledged the messages and said she viewed Epstein as a “constituent” of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he resided. She stated that her contact with him was related to her background as a former prosecutor seeking information she believed could be relevant to the hearing.
Plaskett has emphasized that she did not have a personal relationship with Epstein. In her public comments, she said, “Having a friendship with him is not something I would deign to have,” noting that prosecutors routinely interact with individuals who have criminal histories when gathering information.
She also argued that the messages should be viewed within the broader context of communications she received from many sources during the high-profile hearing, including staff members, constituents, and members of the public.
Epstein, who had been convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor, was not charged with the 2019 federal trafficking case until months after the texts were sent. Plaskett’s office stated that the messages were part of a larger set of input she received during the hearing and that Epstein’s texts “did not influence” her questioning.
The revelations led to a House censure attempt, which failed along party lines. Plaskett has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, and she maintains her actions were appropriate for her role at the time. The matter remains primarily political rather than legal, with no further action announced by congressional committees.
