This appears to essentially be what caused the Michael Morton Act in Texas playing out in front of us. In Brady v. Maryland the Supreme Court ruled that exculpatory evidence (tending to show not guilty) must be turned over to the defendant. Brady was charged with taking part in a robbery and murder. He confessed to the robbery but said that his accomplice was solely responsible for the murder. A jury convicted Brady of robbery and murder. Later it was discovered that the accomplice had already confessed to the murder but the prosecution withheld that evidence from the jury. Oops! So under the Supreme Court Brady Rule, exculpatory evidence must be turned over to the defense. The prosecution, however, gets to determine what it thinks is exculpable. Michael Morton was wrongfully convicted of murder in Texas where the prosecution withheld evidence. The prosecution basically said, we didn’t think that evidence was important so we didn’t give it to the defense. Because of this unseen evidence, Texas passed the Michael Morton Act that requires turning over all police evidence to the defense and not making a determination on what the prosecution thinks is important. So like a jury in the Michael Morton trial, it appears or is claimed that the bipartisan committee never saw some of the evidence. In Michael Morton’s case the jury rendered a verdict that seemed reasonable….. until the hidden evidence was discovered. Did the same happen in the bipartisan committee? That is the accusation but the Democrats aren’t interested in hearing the evidence for obvious reasons. Like the Michael Morton case, where a man was wrongfully convicted of murder, the Democrats are apparently satisfied with, “Oh well, it’s the evidence that we had at the time, case closed”.2 points

Trump asked for Epstein Grand Jury testimony to be released......Judge blocked it - and actually said he can't release it per law - so, who can legally release it? As far as his name in the files, Wouldn't you expect that? It was already known that they associated in social events and functions. Trump was on the flight logs with his family. It is known he banned him from Mara Lago over hitting on someone's daughter. Meanwhile, Obama looks like he will be the first President investigated for sabotaging an incoming president........But lets talk about Trump and Epstein in the late 1980's......2 points -

This team is finally starting to show a little bit of that spark they had a couple of seasons ago. Hopefully they can keep stacking up series wins. They’re 8-2 over their last 10. This is the first time they’ve looked this good since they started the season 8-22 points -
Weasel brags he’ll get those Epstein files released if he’s elected. Attorney General announces “Nothing to see here”. WSJ and AP report Weasel’s name appears several times in the files. What is a reasonable response to this sequence of events?1 point

Just as inaccurate a statement as some from the Trump supporters. FACT: The bipartisan committee stated that Russia ATTEMPTED to influence the 2016 election. It also found it had little to no effect on the election results, and didn’t change any outcomes. Did Russia interfere? The conclusion was ‘yes’. Just as they’ve done for decades. Two separate issues that many conflate. As far as a diversion, the timing is suspect. But, not definitive or out of the ordinary in politics. As I’ve mentioned, the Parties always seem to have something in hand ready to pull out in an emergency. Even if a diversion, it doesn’t make the accusation any less true. At the least, Obama has never acknowledged that Clinton paid for the dossier that blew the whole episode out of proportion, and led to some highly suspect surveillance of an opposing political campaign. He hasn’t admitted that to this day, even though he knew before the 2016 election.1 point -

Breaking News - TRUMP to release EPSTEIN files and client list!
thetragichippy reacted to OlDawg for a topic
I think that was already known. He was already a celebrity of sorts, and easily recognizable to most. Easy to recall if he attended a party. Some of the other wealthy elites may not have been as well known. If I were asked to remember who was there, I’d probably remember a Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, or someone like that over a Steven Schwarzman (co-founder of Blackstone Group & worth about $52 Billion) who isn’t seen a lot outside of the elite type power circles. I don’t see this as a big, breaking story.1 point -

I was lucky enough to see him with the astros and the RANGERS. Actually saw his 1st attempt at win #300. It was on my birthday at old Arlington stadium. When he left the game it was tied so he got a no-decision. He got win 300 a few days later at Milwaukee. If you haven’t seen it watch the Netflix documentary called Facing Nolan. It’s pretty good.1 point -

Sylvia Garcia had the state change the road to/from the San Jacinto Battleground Monument from Battleground Road to Independence Pkwy. Cost the businesses a ton to change all their info & the truckers were lost for weeks. Also, had to change the Deer Park vs La Porte Rivalry football game (one of the oldest town vs town big school rivalries in the state) from The Border War to The Border Battle. Apparently ‘Battle’ was more palatable than ‘War.’1 point
