Stacy Plaskett, the very attractive Congressional delegate from the Virgin Islands who interrupts Jim Jordan and others when things get serious, was a Jeffrey Epstein associate

Lee Fang (of the Intercept and substack) explains how she had to admit some of this in a deposition, that she solicited money from Epstein on many occasions for the Dems and herself, did not donate the money to charity as promised, apparently, and worked for Epstein’s law firm.

“Ranking Member of the House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government and the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Intelligence Enterprise on the Intelligence Committee for the 118th Congress.
As Ranking Member of the House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government, Ms. Plaskett works to ensure Democratic members of this Subcommittee focus on evidence-based inquiries and not wild conspiracy theories. The Republican's attempt to derail the federal government’s obligation to investigate and conduct due process on actions, organizations, and individuals that threaten our republic and create an anti-democratic environment will be met with strong resistance by Ms. Plaskett and her Democratic colleagues on the subcommittee.”
She has been a thorn in Jim Jordan’s side in the Weaponization of Government committee hearings. I must admit I am pleased to see that although she carefully hid her association with Epstein during 5 Congressional terms in many different ways, eventually it has come out—including her assistance with his $300 million tax dodges in the Virgin Islands. This is probably her last Congressional rodeo.
Plaskett proved to be a vicious party loyalist, a go-for-the-jugular power-hungry opportunist. Matt Taibbi has a family and is raising children, but she had no qualms with threatening him with jail time-possible 5 years, over a minor detail in his reporting which he had already acknowledged. May her exit from public life be soon and swift.
May it be so. Her last Rodeo.
