Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

Shh. This is lemmy, where we make excuses for democrats no matter what they do.
I would have made some kind of sarcastic joking “welcome to lemmy” comment, but your profile says it was created two and a half years ago in the era of the great third party app reddit exodus.
The biggest Democrat “support” I generally see here, and which I have contributed to myself, is the suggestion that it may be a good idea to vote for a severely flawed Democrat in order to avoid everything we’re seeing right now and have waiting for us in the next 3+ years.
Three comments up is someone lying and saying no democrat has ever appointed an FBI chair because a Clinton appointee was head of the agency when the allegations were ignored. It’s heavily upvoted.
They’re misremembering. What they’re trying to remember is the fact that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democratic presidents appoint Republicans to run the FBI.
You’re making excuses for excuses.
Put away the pillory. You’re obsessed.
keep excusing behavior you know is wrong.
This is not the gotcha you think it is.
First, the comment you chose is replying to another comment you don’t choose that DID blame it on Clinton and got far more upvotes. And if you care so much about votes then this post of yours seems to have been rejected by the collective so far.
But more importantly, I responded to your broad generalized statement with one of my own. I don’t know why you think a single counter example (even a good one and not just somebody being wrong) is going to shatter my statement as if it’s a scientific theory.
The one blaming it on clinton wasn’t telling an obvious lie. Since this is lemmy, the lie was welcome because it absolved the centrist wing of the party.
Do you really want me to list all the times people on lemmy have lied and made excuses for the centrist wing of the democratic party? Will you immediately dismiss them and make excuses for them like your “being wrong” garbage?
You are a master craftsman of the finest excuses and obviously very flexible in regards to mental gymnastics.
I am having a blast reading this all.
You getting downvoted for this is just proof they hate you calling it out. If they weren’t offended by the truth they’d stop downvoting you.
Edit: and it still happens when directly called on it too, no irony or shame from them
What mental fuckery is this? He got downvoted for being wrong, not as “proof he called it out”. You must be a magat, because sane people can’t twist like that.
“If you don’t the party that didn’t stop the Republicans you must be a Republican” good logic.
They do exist, but in my experience they are somewhat rare here.
In my experience they aren’t, but I’m often the one they’re making excuses at.
