Of course not.
And therein lies their tragedy, and ours.
A newly released document in the so-called Epstein files reveals that Donald Trump, far from being an eager participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking in and exploitation of young women, was one of the first to alert authorities that Epstein was involved in illegal activities. As the New York Times reports today,
“…one of the first calls the Palm Beach police received was from Donald J. Trump, the local police chief at the time told the F.B.I. more than a decade later.
“Mr. Trump reportedly told the chief, Michael Reiter, ‘Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,’ according to a document recounting their conversation that is part of the tranche of Epstein files released by the Justice Department.
“Mr. Trump said it was known in New York circles that Mr. Epstein was disgusting and suggested that the police also focus their investigation on Mr. Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, according to the memo. ‘She is evil,’ Mr. Trump reportedly said.”
“Mr. Trump also told the police chief that he was around Mr. Epstein once when teenagers were present and that he ‘got the hell out of there,’ according to Mr. Reiter’s account.” The former chief described his conversation with Mr. Trump to the F.B.I. in October 2019, two months after Mr. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, the memo shows. Mr. Reiter told The Miami Herald, which reported on the document earlier, that the call with Mr. Trump occurred in July 2006.”
That’s years before Epstein’s first conviction.

“The President was one of the good guys, and the Trump Deranged can’t handle it, won’t admit it, and don’t have the character to retract their accusations.”
You are absolutely right, my friend. It won’t matter.
The document is from 2019 when Trump was in his first administration. The so-called Resistance will argue that Trump had the documents altered, that the officer lied, that there’s been a cover-up or, as you’ve seen, will spin to make him look as bad as possible.
The President is owed an apology, but he won’t get it. The only reason the Democrats care about the Epstein documents is how they can be used to hurt Trump.
My thoughts exactly, AM.
“The sheriff was bought off by Trump! Trump was in the White House in 2019. I’m sure he had some dirt on the Sheriff and used it as leverage!”
The Trump deranged won’t back off a millimeter. They’ll just double down, as well as bring up the next thing. They’re nuts and they are incorrigible.
Still…watching their flaccidly enfeebled flailing will be damned BOX OFFICE!

The Epstein files is the new chemtrails, or 9/11 theory. Rational thought will not be had.

I’ve never had a problem observing the former…it wouldn’t be hard to make an exception.

This Epstein saga is getting tiring. The guy was clearly a weirdo extraordinaire. He was obviously sexually obsessed with girls under eighteen. It’s never been explained where he got his money from, other than (ironically) handling the money of the Victoria’s Secret owner. But he clearly had a thing about luring in and compromising lots and lots of big-time people. Idiots. But bottom line, the guy was just a sleazebag involved in really sleazy stuff in which he involved some of his “friends.” Enough already. This has turned into people slowing down to see the results of a car wreck.
I’m reminded of a rumor that went around in my boys high school. One of the guys’ mother was reportedly “entertaining” any number of guys. Similarly, the Epstein stuff is just pretty much beyond the pale. He’s dead. His sole accomplice is in jail. All the girl/victims are no longer at risk. They were failed decades ago.
I’m not sure where I’m going with this, but the entire affair Epstein is just something that can’t go on forever, therefore, it has to end.
The crucial question of “where did Epstein get his money?” got a partial answer with the report that Peter Mandelson, former UK Ambassor to the US, lost his job not just for sexual adventures with the Epstein team, but for leaking financially significant insider information. I speculate that THAT is the big prize Epstein was working on: compromise people who have tradable information, and make the trades. The sex angle is click-bait, but the financial angle hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. Insider trading leaves no obvious victims because the cost is spread over all of us. Person-to-person payments (e.g., “hush money”) leave a paper trail of receipts. Insider trading doesn’t. Some guys just have all the luck.
The whole narrative may be about to blow up in their faces. There is growing public evidence that Epstein did not run a teenage sex trafficking ring for others rich men. The entire trafficking narrative was based on one victim who claimed she was “lent out” amongst other billionaires, but no other victims known to the FBI claimed as much. (A few underage victims said they had multiple abusers, but the FBI could not find enough evidence for federal charges, and the article is not clear if the other abusers were connected to Epstein).
It appears Epstein was a serial abuser, hiring numerous underage women, and only Ghislaine Maxwell and a few other personal assistants had any direct role in the matter. Its possible Epstein had some other pervert friends, but the AP article does not clearly indicate that. The idea that his private island was an underage brothel looks untenable.
