This is Donald Trump posing with his close friend George Nader who sold access to the Trump White House and is now serving 10 years in federal prison for transporting a 14-year-old to America for sex. #Groomers #GangOfPedophiles

This is Donald Trump posing with GOP operative Anton Lazzaro of Minneapolis, who in August 2021 was arrested and indicted on federal sex trafficking charges for allegedly recruiting six minor victims to engage in commercial sex acts. He is currently awaiting trial.

This is former Trump campaign aide Ruben Verastigui who bragged about his access to the Trump White House on social media while telling his online child porn group: “I can’t stop thinking about touching, raping, and killing a newborn baby, been hard all morning.”

As a @GOP staffer, Verastigui also bragged about his access to @GOPChairwoman whose head shot he was proud to have taken. McDaniel continued using the photo after Verastigui was arrested. She continued using it AFTER he was sentenced to 151 months in prison on child porn charges.

Ruben Verastigui was active in an online group devoted to trading child pornography and discussing child sexual abuse.

Another member of the group was Trump Commerce Department official Adam Hageman, seen here with Madison Cawthorn at the Trump International Hotel DC.

Hageman previously had access to impressionable children through the @charliekirk11 youth indoctrination organization @TPUSA.

Hageman was jailed in November 2020, accused of “sharing a child pornography video and commenting several times on sexually abusing children.”

This is Donald Trump aboard Air Force One with Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz who is currently under investigation for having allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and engaging in sex trafficking.

Joel Greenberg, seen here with Matt Gaetz & @GovRonDeSantis, pleaded pleaded guilty in May 2021 to 6 federal charges that he had solicited & paid a minor for sex. He struck a deal with prosecutors to avoid 33 more federal charges ranging from identity theft to fraud and bribery.

The fact Matt Gaetz remains at large despite seemingly overwhelming evidence against him has led to recent speculation, including from his @GOP primary opponent Mark Lombardo, that he may have a cooperation deal of his own to inform against Donald Trump.

“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything... Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” Donald Trump

Here's a thread I started on Inauguration Day 2017:

In 2015, Mike Huckabee attacked the Obamas for allowing their daughters to listen to Beyoncé's "mental poison."

That same year, he gave the GOP some early practice defending reality TV star perverts, saying that serial child molester Josh Duggar's actions weren't "unforgivable."

Until it was revealed that he had molested multiple girls, including one under age 5, Josh Duggar was Executive Director of the anti-LGBTQ @FRCAction, giving him high-level access to Republicans like @tedcruz and @marcorubio who supported his anti-gay "family values" mission.

Josh Duggar, seen here smiling in a 2021 mug shot, was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in federal prison in December 2021. One experienced agent testified that a toddler rape video found in Duggar's child porn collection was among the "Top five worst of the worst" he had ever seen.

This is Donald Trump posing with his third wife Melania and his close friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. After Trump was elected, the notorious sex trafficker Epstein claimed he was the person who had introduced Trump to the Slovenian-born model Melania Knauss.

Trump was a frequent attendee at Epstein's child rape parties in NY and Palm Beach.

In 2000, a porter who worked next to the Epstein mansion in NY told a UK newspaper, “I often see Donald Trump and there are loads of models coming and going, mostly at night. It’s amazing.”

In 2018, a @MiamiHerald report raised questions about the "sweetheart deal" Jeffrey Epstein received in 2007 from Florida prosecutor Alex Acosta?

Why were all of Epstein’s co-conspirators let off the hook?

Why did Trump later reward Acosta with a plum job as Labor Secretary?

In 2017, Trump fired the highly respected Preet Bharara as US Attorney for the SDNY. In his place, he installed Rudy Giuliani's former law partner Geoffrey Berman.

In 2018, following the @MiamiHerald exposé, Trump fired AG Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Bill Barr.

The new revelations about Epstein's sex crimes forced Labor Secretary Acosta to resign and Berman to make a highly public arrest of Epstein in NY.

Arrested by Giuliani's former law partner, Epstein became the world's highest profile prisoner, in the ultimate care of Bill Barr.

When Epstein was arrested, the New York Times reported, "A trove of lewd photographs of girls" was "discovered in a safe inside the financier Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion." Despite this and much other evidence being seized at other properties, no further arrest were made.

As the NY Times wrote, Epstein was known to have dirt on an “astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people"—with the photos to prove it.

It was widely assumed that many of those rich, famous and powerful people—including then-President Donald Trump—wanted him dead.

Five weeks later, Jeffrey Epstein, the world's highest profile prisoner, despite being held in a facility that the @nypost reported had not seen a single suicide in 20 years, was dead.

thedailyedge.substack.com/p/did-jeffrey-…

Bill Barr, whose own father had introduced Epstein into Manhattan high society in the 1970s, chose not to recuse himself from any of the FOUR separate investigations into Epstein's death, which he quickly closed, saying there was nothing more to see. thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-epstein-…

Despite, Bill Barr's insistence that Epstein had committed suicide, pathologist Dr. Michael Baden—described by Fox News as a “medical legend”—told @FoxAndFriends: “I’ve not seen in fifty years where (injuries like these) occurred in a suicidal hanging case.”

This is Mitch McConnell posing with Timothy Nolan, who became Trump's campaign manager in Kentucky in 2016.

In 2018, Nolan was sentenced to 20 years in prison for human trafficking and other sex crimes.

A human trafficking investigation into the former Trump campaign manager found that Nolan “had a pattern of paying minors and adults for sex, in some cases recording them.” As a landlord, Nolan tried to pay one tenant's underage daughter for sex, "and put his hand on her crotch."

When Mitt Romney’s niece Ronna Romney McDaniel became @GOPChairwoman in 2017, the Republican Party was in crisis.

The election of the notorious pervert, pussygrabber, and pornstar-hush-money-paying Trump had destroyed the party’s reputation as a protector of “family values.”

Even before the 2016 election, serial predator Trump faced multiple sexual assault accusations. In addition, many examples of his attraction to teens and pre-teens, as well as inappropriate sexual comments about his own daughters, had been made public.

In addition to his multiyear friendship with Jeffrey Epstein (at whose NY mansion he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl), Trump also preyed on vulnerable young models in the company of Elite Model Management chief John Casablancas theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…

In 2016, Trump was also revealed to have hosted “wild parties with sex, cocaine and underage models” in which girls as young as 15 were given the opportunity to “meet his affluent, older friends” who could offer these underage teens “major career boosts.” nydailynews.com/news/politics/…

A 2016, Mother Jones revealed how Trump Models routinely recruited Eastern European teens, told them to lie to US customs & once they were here on tourist visas, forced them to live in cramped conditions while paying “sky-high rents.”

As one Twitter user wrote: “Trump Models was a White Slavery front specializing in pimping-out underage Eastern European girls. Cohen set up politicians with 13yo girls and kept receipts. Once they became pedophiles, Trump blackmailed them. It’s an old KGB trick.”

In 2017, @GOPChairwoman had a choice:

a) Stand up for family values, or:

b) Tacitly endorse the child rape and sexual exploitation happening in plain sight, thus accelerating the @GOP’s descent into a fetid sewer of perversion and pedophilia

As is now clear, @GOPChairwoman chose (b), standing by Trump through all his sexual abuse scandals, endorsing pedophiles, refusing to denounce Matt Gaetz, even continuing to use the publicity photo of her taken by baby porn pervert Ruben Verastigui. thedailyedge.substack.com/p/whos-really-…

This thread represents the tip of the iceberg when it comes to #RepublicanSexualPredators.

Twitter user @cajsa has compiled, sourced—and made public—a list that now contains 868 examples of GOP predators.

Why this is not a bigger scandal, I don't know. thedailyedge.substack.com/p/700-and-coun…

NEW: A top staffer at Texas Right to Life, 33-year-old Lucas “Luke” Bowen has been charged with the online solicitation of a minor, defined in #Texas as younger than 17.

#RepublicanSexualPredators #GangOfPedophiles dallasobserver.com/news/lucas-bow…

AUGUST 2022:
- @GOP Rep. in Idaho sentenced to 20 years for violently raping a teenage intern
- Political director of @TXRightToLife charged with soliciting sex from a minor online
- @ALGOP cochair of Trump 2016 AL campaign arrested for public sex assault
thedailyedge.substack.com/p/republicanse…

The sentencing of child porn pervert Adam Hageman to 5 1/2 years in prison reminds us:

1) Every "groomer" accusation is a confession

2) @GOP is the party with the sex predator problem

3) @GOPChairwoman refuses to denounce #RepublicanSexualPredators

Has @GOPChairwoman ever met a pedophile she didn't like?

Do you feel safe putting #GymJordan in charge of students?

Letting @mattgaetz into the high school cafeteria?

Expecting @GOPChairwoman to stand up to the child predators in her party?

No. No. No.

GOP Groomer Joel Koskan abused and raped a child over multiple years. The Senate Republican Campaign Committee sent Koskan $10,000 to pay his bail. Now he's taken a plea deal to avoid jail time. #GOPGroomers #GangOfPedophiles #RepublicanSexualPredators dailykos.com/stories/2022/1…

We shouldn't be surprised the @sdgop had a self-confessed groomer & child rapist on the ballot this year.

From #Trump to #GymJordan to #MattGaetz to @MattWalshBlog, the list of #GOPGroomers is getting longer every day.

When will @GOPChairwoman speak up?

"What we are witnessing during the age of Trump is a dramatic increase in tolerance for all types of unethical, immoral, and even criminal behavior within the Republican Party."

Please read and share my new interview with @reportbywilson: #GOPGroomersthedailyedge.substack.com/p/systemic-sex…

@reportbywilson "Jeffrey Epstein is a lot of fun to be with." Donald Trump in 2002.

Trump was later accused of a raping a 13-year-old girl at Epstein's NY mansion in the 1990s.

Suicide is considered “nearly impossible” at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.

So how exactly did Jeffrey Epstein—the world's most high-profile prisoner—die in the care of Trump AG Bill Barr?

Bill Barr took charge of 4 investigations into the "suicide" of Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing claims from “medical legend” Dr. Michael Baden who told Fox News: “I’ve not seen in fifty years where (injuries like these) occurred in a suicidal hanging case.” unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/the-ep…

Trump didn't need a plane to get to Epstein's sex parties.

In 2000, a porter who worked next to the Epstein mansion in NY told a UK newspaper, “I often see Donald Trump and there are loads of models coming and going, mostly at night. It’s amazing.” nytimes.com/2019/07/08/opi…

Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort features 13 times in the documents released on Wednesday.

The papers state that Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's alleged victims, worked "as a locker room attendant for the spa area" at Mar-a-Lago in the year 2000. newsweek.com/jeffrey-epstei…

Epstein told his brother in 2016 he had dirt that could destroy Trump.

He was arrested by Giuliani's former law partner.

He died in the care of Bill Barr.

Now Trump's FBI Director Wray is under fire for allowing crucial evidence to "disappear."
