Behind the curtains of political theater, Donald Trump finds himself fretting about a potential Democratic resurgence in the House. This scenario could transform him into a political lame duck, inundated with investigations and stripped of his power.
Enter Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a strategic choice for the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, poised to confront the challenges posed by a possible second Trump administration. His qualifications are not just impressive on paper; they are crucial for navigating this turbulent political landscape.
On a recent appearance on CNN’s *State Of The Union*, Raskin was asked to compare the Trump administration’s treatment of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein against its apparent protective instincts for Trump himself.

Raskin’s response was striking:
“I’d estimate it’s probably a stark zero for the victims and a full 100 for Trump. There’s been no sign of respect or consideration for those who endured this nightmare.”
“Their primary focus appears to be on covering up issues that Donald Trump prefers to keep under wraps, whether those relate to himself, his family, associates, or his connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader cultural network he’s been part of for over a decade. Do you believe the actions taken by the Department of Justice are explicitly designed to shield Donald Trump?”
“What else could it be? This seems to be their entire business model. They appear to be attempting to reshape American constitutional jurisprudence and the rule of law to revolve solely around the whims of one individual—the concept of the unitary executive being redefined as a tool for Donald Trump’s interests.”
“Honestly, I can’t fathom what other motivations they might have.”
