Episode notes
Epstein Texts Spark Failed Censure
- Stacey Plaskett texted Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing and Republicans sought to censure her.
- The censure failed after GOP members voted no, present, or abstained citing backroom deals and tit-for-tat politics.
Tit‑For‑Tat Politics Undermined Accountability
- Republicans who opposed censure cited reciprocal deals with Democrats over other members' ethics probes.
- Critics called the arrangement 'swampy' and argued members should be held individually accountable.
Donations And Texts Suggest Influence
- Plaskett claimed she took Epstein's contribution and later donated it, yet texts show Epstein guided her questions to Michael Cohen.
- The host argues donations and texting show Epstein retained influence over her actions.
