Prediction: Trump was not just Epstein's client he was a partner

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 59 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Not a doubt in my mind...

If nobody has, read it now, before they pull it from the house website...

"I was Donald Trump's closest friend."

In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine of Epstein, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 40 points 5 days ago

People forget that Epstein was arrested for this in 2005 too but federal prosecutor (under Bush and Obama), Alex Acosta gave him a sweetheart deal of a non-prosecution agreement if he plead guilty to a single charge of soliciting a prostitute in 2008. Alex Acosta was then made Labor Secretary by Donald Trump years later when he became president.

2008 was Bush. Obama didn't take office until 2009.

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

They were saying that they were still prosecutor under Obama after the plea deal stuff.

Looks like we know what the public hasn't seen:

Wolff also said Thursday that the pedophile showed off photos of Trump with topless young women sitting in his lap.

Haven't heard this anecdote yet:

He alleged that he and Trump would pick up women by combining to split them from their male companions. “We always used to go to Atlantic City to try to find girls in the casino,” he said. “And if there was a guy, I would say, ‘I’m here to invite the guy to go out to dinner.’ And he’d say, [to the woman], ‘Let me show you the casino.’ And as he walked out, he put his arm around the girl’s shoulder, and the bodyguard would walk up and Donald, whoosh, take the girl away.”

Beautiful women on the younger side - they are called children.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

and many pics of him touching ivanka in wierd ways, and even one that is suggestive of a lap dance.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Epstein was Krasnov's handler.

[-] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Pfft. You must be looking at things like "evidence", "victim testimony saying that Trump an Epstein played a sick child rape game", and "Epstein saying he was Trump's best friend for over a decade". All meaningless stuff that doesn't exist, except it does exist, but it was written by Hillary Clinton and Obama even though Bill Clinton is in there, and also they won't release the files because child porn or something. Also something about the Deep State that totally exists and is not controlled by Trump.

Please don't look behind the curtain. Nothing to see here.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

maxwell was the "kung fu coordinator."

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 44 points 4 days ago

The House Oversight Committee, however, agreed in a voice vote to ask Maxwell to provide a deposition.

So sad to hear of her upcoming suicide.

Nah, he'll promise her a pardon or Supreme Court ruling in her favor in exchange for lying.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Don't worry, they have cameras in her prison...

[-] Huschke@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

But unfortunately during her suicide the camera mysteriously turned towards the wall. Very unfortunate technical issue.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I think it would be too obvious to kill her. Pardon and deport to UK probably

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Watch as she and Bondi miraculously name the same names as fall guys. If that doesn’t shut people up (all the mainstream media will accept the cover story, but social media harder to control the narrative) by the time Congress is back from recess the regime will give us bigger problems to be concerned with.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 58 points 5 days ago

That didn't happen. (He denied any involvement) And if it did, it wasn't that bad. (He denied been any part of the trafficking) And if it was, that's not a big deal. (It was a long time ago) And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Eventually, we will get to hear why those children deserved to be raped.

[-] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 32 points 5 days ago

“If they hadn’t looked so much like Ivanka…”

—Donald J. Trump, probably

[-] YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Wouldn’t it be the other way around? I thought he wanted to bang his daughter

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 5 days ago

I think they're on the same train of thought, tbh. I read it as if they hadn't, they would have been safe from him.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I don't doubt that he did.

[-] neoman4426@fedia.io 15 points 5 days ago

My money's on "I had to do it to gain the trust of the cabal so I could take them down from the inside, like a cop in deep cover committing crimes to 'prove' they aren't a cop. I hated it even more than the girls did" or similar

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Entrapment!

Or maybe I'm thinking of child endangerment?

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

"Well they shouldn't have been sitting there being all young and vulnerable! If they didn't want to be raped then they could've just become older and more confident. I don't see why it's my fault they let me take advantage of them!!"

[-] TheCleric@lemmy.org 23 points 4 days ago

NEVER stop talking about this. Every time he has a press conference, ask him about it.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 25 points 4 days ago

Trump, though, has shown little interest in discussing either of his former friends, and on Tuesday rambled on for seven minutes and 41 seconds, generating 1,281 words, about Obama and his top aides, claiming that they had illegally begun an investigation about the help he received from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election.

LOL. :)

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I took a screenshot and came here to post this lol. I wish more coverage of Trump was in this this style.

Reporter: asks a question about Epstein.

Trump: [18.32min, 5.7k words redacted: not relevant] "...I barely knew Epstein. Now Obama..." [6.87min, 1.1k words redacted: not relevant]

Reporter: ...you say you barely knew him?

the help he received from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election

I kinda wonder if they've reached a point where they think their control over the political situation is so unassailable that they can just openly admit everything they've done. Unfortunately, I'm not sure they'd be wrong if they did think that.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

He’s bad at lying for someone who’s had a lot of practice.

[-] neoman4426@fedia.io 15 points 5 days ago

It's the dementia. If you go back and read some of his birther nonsense for instance, it was clearly complete bullshit, but there was at least a thread of pseudo coherence to it that people who really really wanted to believe because they were racist could grasp onto. This is just complete mush.

[-] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 8 points 4 days ago

The steep irony of birtherism is that, had Obama lost and McCain won the election, it would had to have been legally adjudicated whether or not McCain was actually a viable candidate based on the circumstances of his birth.

McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone the year before people born in the PCZ were automatically granted citizenship at birth. The same rule retroactively provided people like McCain citizenship, but he was quite clearly not a citizen of the US at birth as is required by the constitution. Arguably he would have never been allowed to be president because of that fact. But everybody was too distracted with racist birtherism to care about that reality, and ultimately the actual born citizen (Obama) ended up winning. So the issue never was settled formally

[-] prole 1 points 4 days ago

Well not just that, but McCain was white. So.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

Lying is one of those things where you generally get worse at it as time goes on, due to having to lie to cover up previous lies and so on.

SAD!

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!

One thing I now know with 100% certainty: my family is pro child sex trafficking..

[-] Wazowski@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

Orange man raped kids.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago

Draft Dodger Don is denying demands to display documents.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Ask him his opinions on how the looks of teenage girls change as they approach drinking age, and he'll answer enthusiastically before realizing he shouldn't have.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

His friends. Like John Barron.

[-] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 7 points 5 days ago

He said he's in the files but those are all fake.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I was so hoping huffpo used that actual headline.
