Nearly 3 years since Trump made it into office and Hillary is still free. Weren't you guys claiming "fake news" over the Mueller Report after a a year or two of Trump not being charged? What does that say about the years long investigations into Clinton that have come up with nothing so far? Waste of our taxes like with the Russia thing or is it somehow different and worth the money in this particular case?
Wait, don't answer that, I already know what you will say.

That does not say that he is cooperating. They have evidence that his paid employees recruited girls and that the girls themselves recruited others for pay.
More than eighty girls ( now women) have already come forward. They do not need a single syllable from Epstein.
These girls will say who recruited them and who they were recruited for.

Bill Clinton ditching his Secret Service detail is telling. For an ex-president as used to their presence as he must be, this suggests he knew he was going to be doing something seriously wrong.
Washington (CNN)CNN has learned from multiple law enforcement sources that a Secret Service agent on Vice President Mike Pence's detail has been suspended from official duties after meeting a prostitute at a Maryland hotel.
The story here begins in April 2012, when President Obama traveled to Cartagena, Colombia, for the Summit of the Americas. While there, a number of Secret Service agents, DEA agents, and members of the armed forces assigned to the president's security detail brought prostitutes back to their hotel rooms. The respective agencies ran their own investigations and agreed upon punishments.
The three DEA agents who hired prostitutes were reprimanded but kept their jobs; ten Secret Service agents lost their jobs, either through dismissal, early retirement, or forced resignation; and twelve service members were either nonjudicially punished, reprimanded, or asked for courts-martial.

He is sixty six years old. He will die in prison no matter what.

You do realize that he was actually impeached once and can be impeached again after leaving office?
He can be impeached again???? Yeah ok, once again where is your information coming from?
No he cannot. Impeachment is for civil officers of the United States. Not ex civil officers.
The punishment if found guilty is removal from office for crying out loud. What would they do? Reinstate him as president so that they could remove him from office?
Not to mention.... what would they impeach him for now?
At least when I say there is a possibility of trump being impeached I am dealing with reality. This nonsense....is emotional only.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has suggested that Bill Clinton, though now out of office, could be impeached for his pardon of fugitive Marc Rich (although probably not for grabbing a couple of coffee tables). Can a former president be impeached?
Apparently, yes. Obviously a former president would not be subject to removal from office, but scholars say that Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution, which says that impeachment may result in “disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States,” could apply. In practical terms, an impeachment would mean Clinton could not serve in any other federal elective or appointive office. Clinton would not have automatic protection against such a proceeding because he was exercising his constitutionally given pardon power. Scholars say abuse of such power can be grounds for congressional action. It is less clear whether a conviction could mean the removal of his pension, government-funded office, and other perks.
Although impeaching a former president would be a first, there is some scant precedent for impeaching someone already removed from office. In 1797, Sen. William Blount of Tennessee was charged with treason for a scheme to help the British take land from Florida controlled by the Spanish. (Fortunately, Florida land speculation is no longer considered a treasonable offense.) Blount was unanimously impeached by the House, then expelled by the Senate (a process separate from impeachment). The Senate decided to go ahead with its impeachment trial although in the end it acquitted Blount because he was no longer in office. William Belknap, secretary of war under Ulysses Grant, was impeached by the House on bribery charges and resigned from office. Though the Senate went ahead with his trial, he, too, was acquitted because he was no longer in office.
Next question?

In this case, the United States (the "Government") seeks to evict defendants from a building formerly used as a residence by the Deputy Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Iran ("Iran"). After diplomatic and consular relations with Iran were severed in 1980, the Office of Foreign Missions ("OFM") of the United States Department of State took possession of the building pursuant to the Foreign Missions Act, 22 U.S.C. § 4301 et seq. OFM leased the building to defendant Jeffrey E. Epstein in 1992. Epstein sublet the building to defendant Ivan S. Fisher in 1996, purportedly without the Government's consent. Fisher, in turn, sublet a portion of the building to several subtenants. In 1996, the Government purported to terminate Epstein's lease and brought this action to eject Epstein and Fisher from the building. The Government later amended its complaint to assert a claim for ejectment against the subtenants as well.[1] The Government also sought to recover back rent from Epstein and Fisher.
If the reports of blackmail tapes are accurate, then I wouldn't take anything -- up to & including tactical air strikes -- off the table.

The new Left is going to soon realize that it is very difficult to pay for campaigns when you've alienated your top fundraisers like Pelosi and the Clintons and imprisoned your top donors and ralliers like Weinstein, Epstein, and Ed Buck. They probably should have found replacement millions first, then attacked... but strong planning isn't in their genetics.

Ahh, but you see, they weren't smart enough to realize they were completely blinded by their own zeal to "get orange man!", "get the outsider, he must go!"..."he's, he's, he's not allowed!"
