Oh shit, bitch be “pressing,” watch out now, strongly urging will be next.
In the trademark move of most narcissists, when Wyden brought it up before the Senate, Bessent tried to flip the script by threatening to investigate him instead.
Like you think just bc you're on the Senate finance committee, it gives you the right to ask about financial crimes the Treasury department doesn't want America to know about? Since you're so interested in investigating those crimes how about we investigate you instead?! Checkmate!
Then before anyone could ask Bessent why he was being so weird about releasing information linking world leaders, tech billionaires, and big banks to Epstein, Charlie Kirk was suddenly assassinated.
And then before anyone could backpedal and ask any questions about what happened earlier in the day, this lady started a crusade against anyone she deemed not respectful enough of Charlie Kirk on Twitter
I kinda feel like maybe Wyden would have more public attention and more of the public aware and backing him up on this, had all those things not suddenly happened within hours of him calling for the investigation on September 10th. But here we are, so not really sure what else you expect the Senate finance committee to legally do other than continue to press for them to release those files, and try to draw public attention to this particular investigation.
Hopefully doing so isn't considered illegal political activity on behalf of antifa since the president also suddenly signed a very vague EO following the assassination, that could be used to threaten anyone who expresses views that aren't aligned with his.
Even Charlie Kirk seemed to go against Trump on some issues right before he was assassinated, so it seems reasonable this is how Trump would honor the man he called a "martyr for free speech."
I don’t mind the Charlie Kirk part, but yes conservatives are creepy
On Sept. 10, he introduced the Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act to compel Bessent to turn over all Epstein-related treasury records to Senate investigators. Wyden has asked Bessent twice, in March and June, to provide the files to the Senate Finance Committee to no avail. He has been unable to get the majority vote needed for the committee to issue a subpoena for the files, Wyden policy director Keith Chu said in an email.
A lot of stuff happened on September 10th, but it seems like most of America missed this bc it was such a chaotic day.
