Jamie Raskin drops MAJOR Epstein news

Jeffrey Epstein used the promise of admission and paid tuition to prestigious universities like NYU and Columbia as a core part of his recruitment and grooming strategy for minors. He maintained "cozy relationships" with various colleges, not just to sanitize his image but to facilitate this predatory mechanism.

Congressman Raskin states, "Epstein had promised them when they were minors that he would arrange for them to be admitted into NYU or Columbia and would pay for their tuition. Um and he used that very much as part of his recruitment and grooming mechanism." He also notes Epstein's "cozy relationships with a lot of colleges and universities."

Contrary to claims that Epstein acted alone, his long-time lawyer, Darren Indyke, and accountant, Richard Kahn (now co-executors of his estate), were directly involved in facilitating the college arrangements for survivors. This demonstrates a sophisticated "bureaucracy of complicity" supporting Epstein's operations.

Raskin explains, "several survivors told us that their college tuition, their bureaucratic paperwork, and their expenses were personally arranged by uh Epstein associates Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn who were uh a long-time Epstein lawyer and accountant."

The Trump administration's DOJ, specifically Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, is accused of being in "full cover-up mode" regarding the Epstein investigation. They initially claimed no other crimes were indicated and later 'found' an additional million documents, while allegedly withholding 97-98% of legally compelled material.

Raskin states, "We can't take anything they're saying seriously. They are in full cover-up mode." He adds, "they just found an additional million documents that uh mysteriously appeared." He also criticizes Pam Bondi for turning over "at most what, two or three percent of all of the material that she is compelled by law to be turning over with respect to the Epstein file."

Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on February 11th. Congressman Raskin intends to question her extensively not only on the Epstein cover-up but also on the scope of Trump's January 6th pardons, which allegedly extend to other crimes like drug dealing and weapons charges, and potentially even to a pipe bomber suspect.

Raskin confirms Bondi's testimony date and states, "we've got so much to ask about not just in the the field of the Epstein cover-up... but also about, for example, uh January 6th, the 1,600 pardoned insurrectionists."

Congressman Raskin highlights the hypocrisy of Republican leaders like James Comer, Jim Jordan, and Andy Biggs. These individuals are demanding action against Bill and Hillary Clinton for defying subpoenas, despite having defied congressional subpoenas themselves from the January 6th Committee.

Raskin points out, "James Comer... saying that he's going to take action against Bill and Hillary Clinton for defying subpoenas, that he actually made that announcement while he was flanked by a couple of Republican congressmen including Andy Biggs who themselves had defied congressional subpoenas from the January 6th Committee. You've got Jim Jordan saying the same thing. He also defied subpoenas."
