A Democrat got away with colluding with one of the most notorious pedophiles in American history thanks to some good-old-fashioned backroom politics.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing.
Earlier Tuesday, the House voted to advance the measure to censure Plaskett and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee. Then, later that evening, the House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett.
Every Democrat voted against the censure, while three Republicans voted present, and three other GOP lawmakers joined the Democrats.
(…)
The Plaskett censure failed because house leadership exchanged that censure failure for the withdrawal of a vote to censure and refer Cory Mills to house ethics for investigation. The swamp protects itself.

“I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, Democrat and Republican, are cutting backroom deals to cover up public corruption for Republican and Democratic members of Congress,” she said.
“I think we all know what happened tonight.”
No wonder the average American does not trust the federal government.
