I'll be curious as to what explanation she gives for this. The fact that she represents the Virgin Islands where Epstein's island was located is no coincidence. There could be an innocent explanation for it. But in the end, she clearly was taking direction from Epstein which should be disqualifying.

Plaskett has served as the non-voting delegate to Congress from the VI since 2015. As a non-voting delegate, she has no real power (she can't vote on any legislation) but she can serve on Committees and participate in hearings. As a non-voting member, she was unable to sign the discharge petition for the Epstein files so we have no idea if she would have signed it if given the chance. What we do know, however, is that EVERY SINGLE Democrat who is a voting member DID SIGN the petition. So that implies every current voting Democrat in the House places justice for the victims above any fear of potential embarrassment (or worse) of Democrats from info in the files.

I found this interesting - I was not aware of this before.

Before 2008, Plaskett was a member of the Republican Party, and was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve in the Civil Division of the United States Department of Justice. She switched to the Democratic Party in late 2008 because she believed it was a better place to have new ideas heard.
