Black Virgin Island rep Stacey Plaskett appeared to be in the pocket of Epstein.

The USVI has been a playground and clearinghouse for a lot more than Epstein, same as the British version.

That woman has no say in anything, she's a face given to the locals to pretend they do...and she's never even actually lived there. Her parents are from there, not her.

So then what is she good for???

 

[Rekkapryde]

Absolutely shameful behavior. She deserves to removed from her position.

The same as the reps of American Samoa or Guam.

I mean if she has no power why is she there???

She is basically a lobbyist with a government paycheck

this.

don't even get the point of being a territory honestly other than getting to be a US citizen I guess. These folk in Guam, VI's, Samoa, etc.....really is the point outside of that?

Guam sucks too. Its where Japanese goto vacation if they can't afford to goto Hawaii

too many flies there too


fukk Guam.

Spheres of influence + strategic future possibilities.


Look at the overseas territories/colonies of the US, UK and France. Toss in the British Commonwealth nations that were "granted independence" yet still have governors-general in place to keep an eye on things. The UK went to war with Argentina over the Falklands for a reason.

Those are more than enough to get you started. The overlapping locations of the territories of just those three nations + their military bases will make things very clear, very quickly.

Yeah, the news article I posted in here said as much

.The US Virgin Islands, where Plaskett is from, doesn't have normal congressional representation. Like Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, it has a nonvoting delegate. She can serve on committees but doesn't have any say when the full House of Representatives votes on a bill.

One part of her job, however, is the same as that of every other Democrat in Congress: She's expected to fundraise for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That year's campaign cycle, the committee gave her a target of around $250,000 to raise for the organization, which recruits and supports candidates for the party, she said in a deposition taken earlier this year.

Plaskett had a list of people to ask for money. It included previous donors, alumni, and "individuals who were interested in the same topics for which committees I sat on," she said in the deposition.

On that list, she said, was Jeffrey Epstein.

A financier worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Epstein owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands (there are roughly 50 islands overall). His main residence, on the island of Little St. James, was lavishly furnished in the style of a resort. He had even shipped in more sand and palm trees to make it look exactly as he desired. Plaskett wanted to persuade Epstein to donate $30,000, the maximum amount an individual could donate to a national campaign committee at the time.

There was just one issue for Plaskett. Epstein was a convicted sex offender, having pleaded guilty 11 years earlier to soliciting sex from a minor. Law enforcement had separately concluded he sexually abused scores of underage girls at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. But, with the help of high-powered lawyers, Epstein got a light sentence.

Is it as important as Bannon getting emails from Epstein on how to get Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court?

As deep as the republicans go with Epstein this chick is meaningless because she has no power. The democrats should kick her out, but she is politically a nobody compared to all the other shyt we learned.

Why do people do this? Every time we critique someone on the democrat side who is doing something wrong they pull up some republican or right wing lunatic and say it's not as bad as them. This is in part how we got to this point when people constantly trot out "Democrats may be bad but they aren't like those crazy folks on the right".

If you can't hold your own party accountable in a situation like this how in the world do you expect to do anything about Steve Bannon? You have Hakeem Jeffries the number two democrat in the party along with Jaime Raskin a ranking member on the judiciary committee defending her so again its a significant problem and an important story.
