WASHINGTON – House Republicans rejected an effort to subpoena four banks that reportedly flagged about $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions linked to disgraced financier and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, made a motion during the group's first oversight hearing pressing FBI Director Kash Patel since he took over the bureau in February.

“These four banks have flagged to the government $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions related to the sex trafficking crimes and conspiracy of Epstein, [his associate Ghislaine] Maxwell and all of their collaborators,” Raskin said Sept. 17.

The Maryland lawmaker said he wanted the banks, and their CEOs, to turn over everything they had in connection with helping move money to or from Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 as he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Specifically, Raskin pushed to subpoena JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) and their CEOs.

1. They are only...

Feeding the call for exposure.

2. Follow the Money

That'll tell you all you the identies of Epstein's paying clients. This list generated should match or exceed the list that the 1000+ Survivors are currently compiling. Epstein banked in Europe as he had an apartment in France. Maxwell had a place in the UK. So, I hope that those countries will cooperate. I have no doubt that epstein stashed money allmover the world. His sex trafficking crime syndicate is down from at least four to just two members now:

1. tr💩mp
2. maxwell

The money trail will surely help in defining the scope, depth and magnitude of the epstein sex trafficking crime syndicate's global operation.

4. Wasn't there one bank CEO whose name was already released as being on the Epstein pedo list?

I read it somewhere on DU yesterday.

6. G.O.P. Pedophila Protection Plan in action

disgusting how the republicons protect the pedophiles and demean the victims.

I think Jesus would immediately call out the G.O.P. for their aiding and abetting pedophilia.
