[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_5zPlH_U-0]

Rep-Elect. Adelita Grijalva and Tara Palmari, Host of The Tara Palmari Show on YouTube join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss the government shutdown which has been used by House Speaker Mike Johnson to deprive the 800,000 residents of Arizona’s 7th congressional district of representation in Washington, but has also been used as a convenient cover to hold up the discharge petition to release the Epstein Files which Donald Trump and most congressional Republicans oppose.

I am shocked he is not in jail. How is preventing an elected official from taking their place not criminal?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Because in America the law only applies to those who want it to..And Republicans holding power is more important than the law, the will of the people, and even the public perception.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I mean with Fred Rose at least the Canadian government used the excuse of the Cold War (Rose was the first Marxist elected to any parliament or legislature in North America).

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow …but Fred Rose wouldn’t have ever been the deciding vote on releasing the Epstein Files…

Not that we’ll ever see the true, unredacted Epstein Files ever…

@KunsanVeteran Very true.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I confess I had to google him for background. But if they had a case, it seems like the canadian govt had the chance to charge him with treason as an MP and jail him for life..😷

@KunsanVeteran Actually, you might find the unredacted files in a random bathroom at Mara Lago.

@whowasthatmaskedman The accusations were based on hearsay that normally were inadmissible in Canadian criminal procedings.

He was basically implicated by a Soviet defector who was incentivized to point as many fingers as possible.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Or if the real FBI agents or remaining DOJ respectable lawyers “leak” them.

I hate to put the survivors through more testimony.
