It amazes me that with all our technology....

...and the ability to spy on our every move, that Trump and the Republicans are capable of keeping all the criminal acts and embarrassing facts hidden from the eyes and ears of the public and the media. How is it possible?

How is there anything that we still do not know?

Even more amazing is that if there are people that know the facts, how is it possible to keep all of them silent in this Big Brother world?

Why has no one come forth and given names in the Trump Russia connection? We know he did business with the Russian oligarchs and probably laundered large sums of money thru his golf courses and business ventures, but no one has come forward to give any facts. We know he was a very close friend of Jeffrey Epstein and was likely equally involved in the sex-trafficking business with him, but no one has come to the public with the facts. For example, we know that some FBI agent read those files before they were redacted? But everyone is silent.

It amazes me that they are able to do that.

1. Think of Bernie Madoff.

The publicly available financial information on Madoff's operation was a flashing red arrow pointing to fraud. Basically, everybody who cared to know about it knew. Either they were a part of it, had dirty little secrets of their own to protect, or just didn't want to get a reputation in their community as snitches.

Other than those little people who would end up living under a bridge and barbecuing sparrows over a trash fire, nobody cared.

2. Catch and Kill news suppression. You shouldn't be that surprised

Donald John’s “pecadillos” got swept under the rug for YEARS, (no) thanks to his friends and allies in the tabloids, who regularly got approached by victims and journalists who’d either been approached and/or victimized by Epstein and his pals. The trusting reporters would approach the tabloids, stories and proof in hand, the tabloid publishers would buy the stories and the copyright, and the stories would never see the light of day. THIS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN and the smug, lazy-a$$ lame-stream corporate media ignored it.

The coverup of Epstein’s activities by the press is one of the major scandals of the corporate media and a massive dereliction of their duty to the Republic and the American people.

To the world, actually. They have a duty to the world & all the women on it. There will be names on the list that shock. You know Prince Andrew isn't the only royal, but personally, I'm most interested in how many religious names are on the list.

Release the names. Every damned one.

It bothers me to think of just how many people have helped. Hundreds? Thousands? It's demoralizing.

7. The problem is, our side follows the law and their side doesn't.

Also, their side is openly engaged in politically corrupting the system and if there is any fault on our side it is that we shouldn't accept it when they do.

An example: Why is Aileen Cannon not facing disbarment?

I do not believe that "our side" is 100% pure when it comes to these matters. But, it is Trump and the Republicans that are presently hiding the facts and the answers that the world needs.
