House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"

The demand comes amid relentless bipartisan interest in the investigation, which has dogged the Justice Department's top officials as they've sought to put the matter to rest. Some in the Trump administration, including Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, promised major revelations into the Epstein matter before taking office, only to indicate later that the case was closed.

In the letter, Raskin said almost 50 survivors provided information to prosecutors and FBI agents as part of the investigation that ultimately led to the indictments of Epstein in 2019 and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2020. Raskin said the information the survivors provided was "precise and detailed."

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was running an active investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators until January 2025, when prosecutors were directed to transfer the Epstein case files to the Justice Department's headquarters, in what Raskin said was "a sudden and dramatic shift in the posture of the investigation." Since then, "the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased," he said, citing information provided to the Judiciary Committee by attorneys who represent Epstein survivors.

During the hearing, Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who has led an effort to force a vote in the House on releasing the Epstein files, pointed to 20 alleged co-conspirators.

"According to victims who cooperated with the FBI in that investigation, these documents in FBI possession, your possession, detail at least 20 men, including Mr. Jes Staley, CEO of Barclays Bank," Massie said, referring to a banker who left Barclays in 2021 amid scrutiny over his ties to Epstein. Staley, who worked with Epstein for years as a top official at J.P. Morgan, has said they had a "close professional relationship." Staley has denied wrongdoing and said he regrets befriending Epstein.

Massie said other high-profile figures were among those named by Epstein's victims.

"That list also includes at least 19 other individuals — one Hollywood producer worth a few hundred million dollars, one royal prince, one high-profile individual in the music industry, one very prominent banker, one high-profile government official, one high-profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rockstar, one magician, at least six billionaires, including a billionaire from Canada," Massie said.

VA tech glitch halts GI Bill payments to thousands, advocates say

Two months after an IT hiccup at the Department of Veterans Affairs left a significant portion of GI Bill recipients without their anticipated payments for school and housing, some advocates have a message for the VA: Turn the GI Bill hotline back on.

“VA deployed a new benefit delivery system in August and anticipated having the ability to pay staff overtime and deploy automation solutions as needed to ensure a smooth transition and process fall enrollments on a timely basis,” Peter Kasperowicz, a VA spokesman, told Military Times in an emailed statement. “When the Democrats’ shutdown hit [two months after the system was deployed] VA was deprived of these resources.”

“The shutdown is not the cause of this, and it needs to be very clear that the reason that this happened is because VA’s infrastructure failed, and they chose not to tell us until after the shutdown started,” [Ashlynne Haycock-Lohmann, director of Government and Legislative Affairs for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors.] said. “VA could have told us in August.”

Will Hubbard, the vice president for Veterans and Military Policy at the organization Veterans Education Success and an architect of the current “Forever GI Bill,” has been tracking the nonpayment issue closely since he was alerted to the problem by congressional staff.

“There’s been no mass communications plan; there’s no press release; there’s no public anything,” Hubbard said. “And that’s really been a fundamental issue.”

Watchdog pushes for release of Jack Smith’s Trump report
The public has still not seen special counsel Jack Smith's full report on Trump's handling of classified documents
American Oversight, a non-partisan watchdog group, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the court to vacate Cannon’s gag order and allow the documents to be released. Under the current gag order, the documents are exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests.

Appeals court finds ‘undue delay’ in Cannon’s handling of litigation over Jack Smith report

A judicial panel gave the Florida judge, who presided over Trump’s classified documents case, 60 more days to rule on long-pending release motions.

On Monday, the federal appeals court that covers Florida issued an order putting Cannon on a two-month clock to rule. In a one-page order, a three-judge panel noted that the Trump-appointed trial judge has had release motions pending before her [for] months, but that she “has not ruled or conducted any other further proceedings on the pending motions.”

The Bible's Teaching On Resurrection

Resurrection- Past for those died. Present for those dying. Future for those alive or yet to be born.

wordservice.org

I agree with some and disagree with some.
Can you explain how salvation came before the cross? Otherwise, how would anyone be resurrected and go to heaven unless they've been saved. But Hebrews tells us that salvation hadn't yet been consummated at the time of its being written.
or, Christ being the first to rise from the dead? If His resurrection is about His physical resurrection, we know others were physically resurrected before Him.
1 Corinthians 15:20
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
Colossians 1:18
And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.

Acts 26:23
that the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

Mystery deepens over Special Forces soldier who blew up Cybertruck outside Trump Las Vegas hotel

The 70-page Las Vegas Metropolitan Police post-crime dossier confirmed that Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active member of the elite Green Berets, left a “manifesto” on his phone, although the Department of War has deemed it classified and will not release it.

He left behind a note claiming the attack wasn’t terror-related but a way for the soldier to “cleanse” his mind — while blasting the “feckless leadership” of a US that is “near collapse,” authorities said.

I mean, there'd be a lot less mystery of the Department of War would be more transparent. But the quoted link gives us some hints.

It doesn’t really fit with the idea of discussing the Church Fathers from a historical perspective, which is what this section is for. General Theology might be a better place for this discussion, but I’m not sure it’s really allowed even there, as goading Orthodox Christians and Catholics by bashing their history is not a good idea.

We have to trust & *believe* that the Scriptures were inspired. And that some of the stuff which there seems to be no eye-witness to was revealed through the power of the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, you'd have to reject a good portion of the Bible if you only say you're going to accept eye-witness testimony for everything it contains.

I am not saying we should reject it. But reevaluate whether it should be taken literally as if it was historic narrative, or figuratively like a parable.

Dikaioumenoi said:
Your engagement in this discussion has been more assertive and accusatory than substantive interaction with anything I've actually laid out. If this conversation is to be productive, I would ask that your further comments focus on engaging the argument and the textual evidence directly.

Regarding your claim that "it is improper to place the time of action of present participles after the time of action of the main verb," I already answered this in posts #12 and #17. You did not meaningfully engage with either element of that answer. What I originally pointed out to you was that this principle you're wanting to invoke (that "present participles have the same time of action as the main verb," to use your original wording) is basically true in narrative or temporal discourse, but not in gnomic or didactic statements. It's pretty obvious why: in gnomic contexts, the main verb itself isn't describing a point in time. It expresses a timeless, axiomatic reality. That's what a gnomic/didactic statement is. So, when you universalize the rule, you're trying to attach a "time of action" to something that doesn't have one. It's like timing a definition with a stopwatch.

Additionally, from your "response" in post #15 until now, you have continued to introduce this confusion between logical relationship and temporal sequence. The OP itself distinguishes the two, clarifying that this isn't an argument for temporal sequence. You either missed or ignored that. I corrected you on it in post #17 when you misrepresented my position as concerning a chronological sequence of events. You ignored that too. Now, you're still ignoring it. You're caricaturing the argument to fit the objection you want to give. Do you understand the difference between logical and chronological relationships?

Another gnomic example (just one of many we could go to):

1 Peter 2:6 - "...the one believing (ὁ πιστεύων, present participle) in Him will not be put to shame (καταισχυνθῇ, aorist subjunctive)."

The present participle describes the defining mark of those characterized by faith; the aorist subjunctive expresses the logical result of that: ultimate eschatological vindication. If the participle's "time" equals the main verb's, we're left with the nonsensical idea that one "believes" at the moment in time one "is not put to shame," as if faith occurs only simultaneously with final vindication.

I have not "wriggled around" on this point; my position has been consistent from the OP, as I've pointed out to you more than once. Go back and read it. The argument is that 1 John 5:1 expresses a logical, not temporal relationship between regeneration and faith. You're not addressing the point by repeatedly recasting it as a chronological objection.

You're not stating what problem you see here. These mean essentially the same thing. If two things occur simultaneously, there's no sequence in time. When I said that regeneration and faith may occur simultaneously in our temporal experience (as I noted in the OP to begin with), it was in response to your repeated discussion of temporal sequences. The point I was making is that timing is irrelevant to the argument. I am not making a chronological claim. My point from the start has been about logical priority, not temporal sequence. Nothing I have said contradicts that, so your claim that I'm arguing both ways is a misunderstanding of my position.

You are not reading my posts.

In post #17, I originally challenged this "faith after salvation" caricature of my argument by asking you directly: "Where have I argued for 'believing after salvation'?" You did not answer.

Instead, you simply doubled down on the caricature in your next reply, suggesting that I am "rearranging" grammar "to say that trust in Christ does not come before salvation" (my emphasis).

In post #30, I pointed out that you did not address my question. I then explained the reason for asking it, and how your wording misunderstands/misrepresents my position. You did not answer or acknowledge.

Instead, in your next reply, you went right back to the language of temporal experience ("you are arguing for a reality that we do not experience"), continuing to ignore my repeated clarifications that the argument doesn't concern the question of temporal experience.

In post #36, I again pointed out your category confusion on this. No acknowledgement.

Instead, in your next reply, you shifted course entirely and took a personal experience approach, suggesting that you know my theology is off because your "alarm bells are going off." You chose not to engage at all with the content of my rebuttal to you.

Then, in verse #67, again, you repeat your caricature of my position: "there is no way to change the truth that God forgives sins and gives spiritual life to those who believe. It's not the other way around." (My emphasis). We're debating the logical priority of regeneration and faith, not the forgiveness of sins (justification).

And guess what? You've now done it again! "The fact is, you are arguing that faith in Christ comes after salvation." False. That is not what I am arguing. I am arguing that faith in Christ is logically subsequent to regeneration, not justification, final salvation, or the whole package. If you can't be honest about what it is I'm even saying, we have nothing to discuss.

I mean, they do. What more do you want me to say? You refuse to engage the content of my arguments in any meaningful attempt to show exegetically where I've erred. Do you expect me to just let you win a debate?

Let's look at two passages with the same gramatical structure.

"Whoever believes (Present Active Participle) that Jesus is the Christ is born (Perfect Passive Indicative) of God" (1 Jn 5:1), and
"the one who does not believe (Present Active Participle) God has made (Perfect Active Indicative) Him a liar" (1 Jn 5:10).

Your contention on the first is that being born again (logicaly?) preceeds believing based on the grammar.

So, to be consistent, you must also think that making Him a liar (logically?) preceeds not believing based on the same grammar. But you would be wrong because the rest of verse 10 explains that not believing God is what makes Him a liar (not believing (logically?) preceeds making Him a liar)...

the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed (Perfect Active Indicative) in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. (1 Jn 5:10)

Honestly, I do not think you know that justification, sanctification, regeneration, passing from death to life, possessing eternal life, being joined to the Lord, being one spirit with Him, not facing judgement, etc. all occur simultaneously and are comletely dependent on Jesus coming to live in our hearts. Logically, they all exist if Jesus is in us, and none exist if He is not. Same is true for chronological order. None of them existed when Jesus was not present, and all of them exist with Him present. So, please do not read my dismissal of your argument that we must differentiate between logical precedence and chronological precedence as dishonesty. It is simply a rejection of your premise.

And you are making points that require a great deal of effort to investigate and refute. And honestly, the effort required makes it impossible to address all your points.

Thank you so much for this! God bless!

I think Jesus wants us to obey His actual words. For starters, we need to accept that Jesus is the Son of God, come to the world in the flesh. And that all the words He spoke, He was ordained to do so by God.

Once we get that established, we are in a better position to appreciate all that He actually taught. He said that only a fool would hear His words, and then not obey them. (Matthew 7:24-27) And that's what most churches have shown themselves to be - fools, through their total disregard for the actual teachings of Jesus.

To be clear, I'm talking about actual commands of Christ. Stuff like, "give to those who ask", "call no man on earth 'Father', "go into all the world to preach the gospel", "love your enemies", etc. That sort of thing. Churches just don't preach that these days, and that's why they're all so dead. I suggest you check out this video, and pray to God to open your eyes to the real truth: Login to view embedded media

LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
—Romans 8:14

It took me a long time to start minding the checks from Father. The Holy Spirit would be giving me a subtle witness in my spirit, telling me, “No, don’t do that.” But I wouldn’t pay attention. I would just do it anyway. Eventually I realized this was hurting me and, more importantly, hurting Father. And slowly over time, I learned to pay attention to those subtle checks of the Holy Spirit.

Perhaps you’re the same way. Maybe God is checking you about certain things in your life—a relationship, your words, your diet, your attitude, or a financial decision—but you’re not paying attention, so you keep finding yourself surrounded by chaos. Being led by God’s Spirit is a matter of learning to heed the checks of the Holy Spirit and discern when the peace of God is nudging you to go forward.

Beloved one, the Holy Spirit is a real person you can experience right here and now. And He is speaking to you and bearing witness with your heart. If you will make it your ambition to stop walking in your own self-will and open your ears to Him, you will learn to walk by the Spirit. Father desires to be involved in all the decisions you make. If you desire to live under the direction of the Lord, listen like never before to the gentle voice of the Spirit and consider Him in everything you do.

Walking by the Spirit means not being under the condemnation of the law, but fulfilling its requirements through grace, as righteousness is imputed through faith of Jesus Christ.

Ok? And what does that mean? It's certainly not a license or freedom to sin, which John defines as lawlessness, right? Again, this is all about becoming Gods people, whereupon He writes His law on our hearts, (by the Spirit, under grace) rather than us attemtping to obey it by the Letter (under the law), apart from Him as if we actually have any righteousness apart from Him. So, again, communion with or nearness to God is the basis of justice and righteousness for man, which is why the first commandments are what they are-and most importantly why the gretest commandment is what it is. IOW, when we love God we obey without regard to any law. Jesus came to reconcile man with God, to reestablish the vital relationship that we were created for, and that Adam broke.

“If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children.” St Basil of Caesarea

Perhaps if you'd taken a few minutes to actually read and comprehend the OP's article, you'd have seen that the segment in question was not included in either the tv edit or the extended online edit:

Key portions of this questioning, The Beast reported, did not make it into either the 28-minute TV edit or the 73-minute "extended" cut of the interview – despite the MAGA social media site bragging that it was a "full" interview.

The comments were found in a transcript on the 60 Minutes Overtime site, the Beast reported.

This comes after CBS agreed to a settlement with Trump over his lawsuit alleging they deceptively edited former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign interview last year, and as the network comes under the new leadership of a Trump-sympathetic boss.

He allegedly "lost it" in response to a question about the Zhao pardon, which, according to the full transcript was the last thing they discussed. However, if you watch the online edit and compare it to the transcript, you'll see that the online edit ends right before the pardon question.

"Free will" is a human notion. . .Scripture does not present the totally "free will" of man (Jn 8:34).

No, free will is a notion of God- for man-otherwise sin, opposition to God's will, would be impossible to begin with and moral accountabilty would be a fallacy- and we already know that's not true which is why we hold people acountable in civil matters. They could've done other than the wrong they did; we know basic right from wrong. But we're here to learn, by revelation and grace, that the ultimate wrong, the injustice which we're ultimately and most importantly accountable for, is that injustice where man fails to have faith in God, demanding a justice/righteousness without which the world, with man at the helm, remains a place of sin, victimization, war, conflict, division, and then ending only in death. And that's why faith pleases God immensely, because we could do otherwise; we could fail to embrace that gift of faith that restores justice to ourselves, and by extension, to God's creation.
