Why are Democrats, led by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, suddenly “taking their gloves off” against Trump?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
What did the Republicans expect this week that Democrats were not going to fight back? No, Democrats taking their gloves off. Being led by people like Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Now, Congresswoman Crockett came out swinging and she said, Look, my background is being a trial lawyer. She was a trial lawyer for 15 years. She said, when it comes to a case like the Epstein case and the Epstein files, this is not a partisan issue. This is about exposing the predators. This is about power. This is about justice. And Trump continuing to lie is giving away the game. Watch this moment as Congresswoman Crockett just puts it into clear and concise. Terms, let's play it.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett 0:56
Here's the deal. We have a president that is sitting in office that obviously had a very close relationship with arguably one of the worst pedophiles that we've ever seen in this country. And he's gone from, I don't really know I'm like that. No, we're not really that close. Yes, he was an FBI informant. To now he said there never was this birthday book, there never was this letter. And I think it goes to his credibility or When it comes down to this particular investigation. It also goes to when we hear the White House say things like, Hey, this will be seen as a hostile act if you sign off on this. Listen, as American people, we should all be in unison, no matter if you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, when it comes down to cracking down on something like this.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett 1:41
And this literally is is is so big. It it I as someone who practice criminal law in Texas, in Arkansas, and in federal courts, I have never seen a case this big. And I did it for literally over 15 years.
Ben Meiselas 1:59
Next up, you have Congresswoman Crockett saying, let's be clear. This is bigger than just Donald Trump right here. The Epstein files show how banks, corporations, and even governments looked the other way while children were being abused. We can't let this cycle repeat. Here play this clip.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett 2:22
So here's the thing. Like, obviously, this is concerning to have a potential pedophile as a president. That is concerning, right? But this is like even bigger than him. I want people to understand the information that we were given about foreign governments and their participation, the information we were given about our own federal government and how high of a level we're talking about as far as like them being in cahoots, we know that JP Morgan Chase. Ended up paying out a large settlement because they basically kind of look the other way as there were these ridiculous wire transfers that were going by. We know that there were fake corporations that were set up. We know that, or at least we've been told, that there were fake immigration documents that were put together so that women from other countries could
Rep. Jasmine Crockett 3:12
End up over here. We know that there were allegedly fake marriages. This goes and and it reeks through every single level of government. And it's one of those reasons that these survivors have been quiet for so long, right? Because literally they would walk in and they would see these pictures of Epstein with all of these powerful people from all over the world. And then he would threaten them and say, if you say anything, just know I know everybody, right? And so um I think if we are going to prevent Epstein two point oh Or if Epstein two point oh is taking place right now, I think it's important that we nip this in the bud right now and we learn what we did not know and we put some safeguards in place to prevent this type of thing from happening.
Ben Meiselas 3:54
Then you had Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman talk about Trump's in the Epstein files. We know he's in the Epstein files and not in a good way, in a very bad way. So now the Oversight Committee, the Judiciary Committee, all the MAGA Republicans, y'all are running away because James Comer and Jim Jordan are the useful village idiots who are now covering up for Donald Trump? Now that you know he's in there in a damaging way, you now cover up for the sex pedo trafficking ring? Here, play this clip.
