It’s not about protecting anyone. It’s about full transparency and justice for the victims.
A tweet from “Aaron Rupar” includes a question from Pamela Brown asking if Democrats have discussed how to handle potential member involvement in Epstein matters.
Rep. Jamie Raskin replies that no Democrat has ever asked him to slow down the investigation to protect anyone.
The attached image shows a CNN split-screen of Pamela Brown interviewing Raskin.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.
