Let’s say somebody makes a movie about this and it’s a Quentin Tarantino kind of movie where they show the alternate ending to a real thing. That movie would show a criminal justice system in America that actually follows the law. It would show everybody associated with Jeffrey Epstein rounded up And interrogated. Of course they will all lawyer up but they will start singing when they are locked up on suspicion of rape and they all are guilty of Misprision of Felony. They could all be arrested and detained indefinitely under international law.

The rich are above the law and if you forget that you should remember that the rich are above the law. If you still have any doubts remember this, the United States is not a country of laws as a country of corporations that are above the law.

“After considering all the evidence, one cannot but conclude that Donald Trump is, and has been for some time, a full-blown sexual predator. So what does this all mean for our nation? Multiple allegations of sexual assault against any man must be taken seriously; all the more so when that man holds a position of power.”

The misdirection or distraction tactic isn't working well now, because it has been overused. We aren't looking at your golden fleet of destroyers. We're looking at you in the Epstein files.

50 congressmen quitting. Maybe they are afraid of being exposed as pedophiles

The note is clearly not written by Epstein. He didn’t write that well. It doesn’t match his known signatures. There are other irregularities. I don’t know why so many documents were dumped, left for hours, and then vanished again today. It could be incompetence, or it could be a carefully orchestrated plan to make the public doubt the veracity of the files. They are providing no context (despite a law that says they must). In truth, the rational among us know that the files are a collection of raw data that a competent DOJ and FBI would investigate for factual basis. Many of the claims released today have already been debunked - the AI suicide video, the suicide letter.

What I am seeing just reeks of incompetence. Blacked out documents that kids figured out if copied and pasted, remove the blacked out portion. Searches by keywords that lead to nothing, but if you add a space to the word “Trump”, suddenly hundreds of hits.

But I also believe they are dumping without context, and then retracting, because it sends a message: this is complicated stuff, public. Don’t blame us for slow walking it. We are doing the best we can. Don’t believe anything, because a small fraction of what you see is clearly untrue (which, if context had been added - a lead that was investigated and debunked - would add credibility to the overall files).

Also this: “bad actors” (in my mind, absolute heroes) are leaking everywhere. The DOJ claimed today that is why they retracted thousands of files released earlier today.

Trump could actually be cooked by this. Trump definitely is a pedophile and he is definitely raped girls. He has a connection with Epstein that went on for at least 10 years and they were best friends and now it turns out he is connected to convicted rapist and pedophile Larry Nasser as you pointed out.

Perhaps Larry Nasser can be leveraged to turn against his pedophile buddy Donald Trump. Maybe if the inmates put a little pressure on Larry Nasser he will crack and start naming more names.

I knew within ten minutes of that Orange 💩 slithering and stinking its way down the escalator at TT in 2015.

When did YOU know?

About 20 years ago I wrote a book on values-based leadership and Donald Trump screaming "You're Fired!" was my example of Sauron-style leadership cruelty.

I knew the first time i ever saw him on the tv., Bragging, swaggering... Publicly mocking the disabled reporter/photographer? at a big rally and perhaps even worse was the audience that laughed along with him. I knew then he was also dangerous. How women in their thousands voted for him after the appalling ' I grab them by the .....' I will never understand.

I should probably not say "ever", but it's pretty dangerous.

It's rotten eggs. What else could it possibly be with him constant complaining and his bragging about himself? None of his speech was cognitive nor on topic. Most presidents would have taken the time to wish the people happy holidays. But not him.

Now is a good time to snatch the shitgibbon’s travel documents and freeze his assets so that he can’t escape to the Middle East. 👿

Notice the pattern. When evidence gets specific. Names, dates, flights. The response isn’t refutation, it’s confusion. Release files while telling people not to trust them. Post a fake video, then quietly pull it. Melt down when asked basic questions. That isn’t transparency. That’s damage control. Facts don’t need this much choreography.

Not to defend Trump who is the scum of the earth, trying to become king, but all accusations by Epstein are not credible. According to Michael Wolf, Epstein believed that Trump was responsible for his incarceration. He had motive to try to implicate him.
