The Democrats really stepped in it now. Just when they thought they could weaponize Jeffrey Epstein’s name one more time to smear Donald Trump, the whole sordid scheme has detonated in their faces like a cheap firework. House Oversight Chairman James Comer just stood on the House floor and dropped a nuclear truth bomb: in 2013—five full years after Epstein had already pled guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution and was a registered sex offender—Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraisers were aggressively soliciting the convicted pedophile for money and a private meeting with then-candidate Hakeem Jeffries. They literally pitched him as “Brooklyn’s Barack Obama,” hoping Epstein’s Obama-era nostalgia would open his filthy wallet.

Let that sink in. A registered sex offender who preyed on children was being courted by the official Democratic fundraising apparatus to bankroll and personally meet the man who is now House Minority Leader and the Democrats’ great hope to become Speaker. This wasn’t some rogue intern. This was the DCCC itself, the beating the bushes for cash from a man whose depravity was already public record. And Hakeem Jeffries, the sanctimonious, finger-wagging moralizer who never misses a chance to call Republicans “dangerous” and “extreme,” was the featured attraction.

This is beyond poor judgment. This is grotesque. This is the kind of moral rot that should end a political career on the spot. Jeffries has spent years posturing as the enlightened conscience of the Democratic Party, yet his own team was perfectly happy to trade access to him for checks from a child predator. Did he meet Epstein? Did the money flow? Did he know who was being solicited on his behalf? He damn well should have. And if he didn’t, he’s incompetent on top of being compromised. Either way, he is unfit to lead anything larger than a neighborhood watch group.

The timing could not be more deliciously catastrophic for Democrats. For months they have been frantically pushing selective Epstein emails and documents, desperately trying to tie Trump to the pedophile’s orbit. They screamed that Trump was “hiding the truth.” They demanded full release of every file. They acted like they had the smoking gun that would finally destroy him. And what happened? The House just passed a bipartisan bill—near-unanimous—bill forcing the DOJ to release everything. Trump immediately said he’ll sign it because “we have nothing to hide.” The Democrats’ great Epstein offensive has now become their own public autopsy.

Because the deeper you dig into Epstein’s world, the more it reeks of Democrat perfume. Bill Clinton took at least twenty-six flights on the Lolita Express, including multiple trips where he ditched his Secret Service detail. Twenty-six. He lied for years and claimed it was only four. Epstein was a regular White House visitor during the Clinton administration—seventeen documented times. The Clinton Foundation happily vacuumed up millions from Epstein even after his conviction. Hillary’s State Department, under Secretary Clinton, approved massive increases in funding to a Clinton-connected nonprofit the very same year Epstein was sending it money.

And it doesn’t stop there. Epstein’s donation records read like a Democratic Party honor roll call from the 1990s and 2000s: Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Dick Durbin, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Bob Menendez, Jay Rockefeller, the list goes on. When Epstein’s arrest finally happened, half the Democratic Senate caucus suddenly remembered they had to “return” or “donate to charity” money they’d happily pocketed for years from a man they now claimed to find repulsive. Too late. The stench doesn’t wash off.

Even the unsealed court documents that Democrats hyped as their big Trump gotcha ended up exonerating him. Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most prominent accuser, testified under oath that Trump never saw Trump engage in any sexual activity, that he never flirted with her or any of the girls, and that he was banned from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein brought an underage girl there. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton’s name appears over fifty times in the filings, Prince Andrew settled for millions, and Democratic donor Reid Hoffman and LinkedIn co-founder visited the island multiple times.

Yet Hakeem Jeffries has the gall to stand in front of cameras day after day, clutching pearls about Republican “extremism” while his own party’s fingerprints are all over Epstein’s black book. Stacey Plaskett, one of his top surrogates in the Virgin Islands, was literally texting with Epstein while Congress was holding hearings. Jeffries refuses to condemn her. Of course he doesn’t. That would require a moral compass, and the Democratic leadership clearly lost theirs somewhere between the Lolita Express manifest and Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.

This Jeffries revelation isn’t an isolated embarrassment. It is the rotten cherry on top of a decades-long pattern of Democratic elites treating Epstein not as a pariah, but as a useful, generous friend—so long as the cameras weren’t rolling. They flew on his plane, vacationed at his properties, took his money, attended his parties, and only discovered their principles the moment the FBI kicked in his door.

The American people see it now. The Epstein push was never about justice or victims. It was always about election-year leverage against Trump. And like every other Democrat hoax—the Russia collusion lie, the Ukraine phone call lie, the “very fine people” lie—this one has collapsed spectacularly, leaving their own leadership exposed as hypocrites who were willing to get in bed with a monster if the price was right.

Hakeem Jeffries should resign in disgrace. Every Democrat who spent the last year screaming about Epstein while ignoring their own party’s deep ties should hang their head in shame. But they won’t. They’ll memory-hole this the way they memory-holed Clinton’s flights, the way they memory-holed the Clinton Foundation donations, the way they memory-holed every inconvenient truth about their decades-long relationship with one of history’s most notorious child predators.

The mask is off. The Democratic Party isn’t the party of morality. It never was. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, they were willing participants, eager beneficiaries, and shameless enablers. And now the whole country knows it.
