Quote:Congressional Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI) got a lot of attention — and not in a good way — during her questioning of journalist Matt Taibbi over the Twitter Files in March. Plaskett is the Ranking Member of the Weaponization Subcommittee. The Subcommittee was looking into the allegations made in the Twitter files about the suppression of speech on Twitter and the role the government allegedly played in that. That’s not something that the Democrats want to be examined, so they were on the warpath in response. Plaskett attacked Taibbi and the other Twitter Files reporters — calling them “so-called journalists” — and then she tried to get Taibbi to give up his sources. Plaskett then subsequently sent him a letter in a despicable move, accusing him of perjury in his testimony before the Subcommittee and mentioning that there was a jail term attached to that.

That was bad enough. But on Sunday, Plaskett appeared on MSNBC to talk about the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump when she let slip what I think many Democrats wish would happen to him — that he be “shot” — before she quickly corrected herself.

“You know, having Trump not only have the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort — with anyone and everyone who comes through – should be terrifying to all Americans and he needs to be shot … stopped,” Plaskett said.

That’s pretty shameful, even with all the terrible things against Trump that we’ve already seen. Some suggested on Twitter that the Secret Service might want to have a conversation with her. I think the information was safer in the hands of Trump than with someone who shakes hands with the air and somehow managed to have a classified document from when he was a senator in the 1970s. Imagine if a Republican had said this, it would likely have been covered 24/7, while what Plaskett said is likely to be completely ignored.

Plaskett then tried to attack other Republicans who dared to complain about a two-tiered system of justice and an out-of-control Biden administration DOJ and FBI — one of the main reasons legislators created the subcommittee that she’s on.

“And that’s the thing that I am concerned about with many of my colleagues in the GOP,” Plaskett said. “That they believe that there is a two-tiered system, but the two-tiered system is not to punish them more,” she claimed, “It’s to – they want it to allow them to get away with more than everyday Americans. Causing Americans to distrust the FBI, the Department of Justice — it’s all a mechanism, and all, you know, part of their propaganda.”

Just like with her first comment, Plaskett is sort of telling on herself and the Democrats with this second remark. In my opinion, this is how they think of their supporters — push out the propaganda to them. It’s all projection. Meanwhile, it isn’t GOP propaganda that’s made most Republicans believe that there’s a two-tiered system. It’s our eyes — we’ve seen it all in living color for years now, since the Obama scandals that always went away and were never addressed, then Hillary Clinton and her server, and now the Biden scandals. If anything, it’s the people who have forced the Republicans to finally start doing something about it because we’ve been so annoyed for years that the Democrats have always gotten a free pass. But isn’t that just like a Democrat to assume Americans are easily led/just vessels for propaganda?

Plaskett just chooses to ignore the matters about Biden. But they’re not going away, no matter how much the Democrats try to sweep them under the rug. All Republicans should get on board with the impeachment effort filed by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN).

Nothing will be done to that komodo dragon-faced skank.

Nope. She can say anything she wants and nothing will happen to her.

House Dem Stacey Plaskett took campaign money from Jeffery Epstein AFTER his conviction of soliciting prostitution of a minor

Quote:Stacey Plaskett, the Democratic congressional delegate representing the US Virgin Islands, won her election in 2014. She may owe her victory in part to Jeffery Epstein's donations, which were found to have come in after his conviction of solicitation of prostitution of a minor in 2008.

Emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show that Plaskett, in communications with Epstein's previous assistant, Lesley Groff, seeking support from Epstein. "If you would share this invitation with Jeffrey I'd be much appreciative. I would be grateful for his support and the support of those that he may direct to assist me," Plaskett wrote in the July 12, 2018 email.


The amount of money that Epstein gave to Plaskett, according to the email, was $5,400. Half was to go to her primary and half to the general election.

On June 8, Plaskett conceded that it was a "bad fundraising decision" on the show, Analyze This, on WTJX-FM in the Virgin Islands.

However, the real start to the connection with Epstein started in 2014 with the Virgin Islands governor's wife, Cecile de Jongh.

De Jongh was the First Lady of the Virgin Islands at the time, but also served as Epstein's office manager. It appears that the idea to help Plaskett may have come originally from de Jongh. She insisted, back in 2014, that Epstein needed to help Paskett.

De Jongh wrote to Epstein in 2014, "Your help is needed. We are trying to get Stacey Plaskett elected to Congress. Shawn Malone (current senate president) is running against her in the Democratic primary in August."

"Shawn is the one that came after you in the senate hearing last week. He is nasty and needs to be defeated and we would have a friend in Stacey," the 2014 email continued.

DeJongh then inquired to Epstein, because of the legal limit of $2,600 in individual campaign donations, "Do you think any of your friends would give to her campaign," asking for $75,000 in total donations.

The emails were revealed as part of court documents in the lawsuit the Virgin Islands filed against JP Morgan.

In a May 9 deposition, Plaskett said she met with Epstein in his New York City townhouse in September of 2018 to discuss a potential $30,000 donation to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. This meeting would occur less than a year before Epstein would be arrested on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors that placed him in jail, where he would later be found dead.

In a June 18 appearance on MSNBC, Plaskett was heard telling the host that 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump needs "to be shot," before correcting herself and saying he needs to be "stopped."

Plaskett also called for the jailing of Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi in April, accusing him of lying under oath for saying CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) instead of CIS (Center for Internet Security) during his testimony.

I'm sure the resident liberals on this forum wetted themselves with excitement after she said that.

She should be arrested.

Not only that, but we shouldn't allow people to represent other parts of the world that are not part of the US. The Virgin Islands are a territory, not a state. Same with DC and Puerto Rico.

Of course nothing will come of this. She misspoke and tried to change it, yes, after she said it. It's the Demon SOP. Besides, nothing will happen because she's Black too. She's got Black Privilege.

Why should she? It's only a Federal crime. Probably some state one's too, but what the heck somebody has to run shotgun for Hunter and the FBI and DOJ just don't have the time.

*Please refer to the thread about attractive women leaning conservative.

Our “Justice system” is terribly broken. No idea how that gets fixed.

You pass a law making judges responsible for the subsequent crimes of a perpetrator they released. Then this nonsense ends.
