...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.

(6,822 posts)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.

(10,197 posts)Donald Johns 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 whod 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 Epsteins 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.

Release the names. Every damned one.

An example: Why is Aileen Cannon not facing disbarment?
