Episode notes
Epstein Coaching A Congresswoman
- New documents show Jeffrey Epstein texting Representative Stacey Plaskett during a hearing and coaching her questions.
- That suggests Epstein actively influenced committee proceedings, complicating claims there's "nothing to see."

- Multiple released fragments and testimony indicate there is more in Epstein's records than officials initially admitted.
- Full transparency would clarify contradictions and reduce enduring suspicion.

- X (Twitter) activism can create false impressions of domestic political strength.
