Don’t fall for it.
When it comes to the Epstein-Trump affair, don’t over-complicate it. Trust your gut. Follow the facts and block out the noise. Don’t let the PR guys and talking heads muddy the waters and obscure the truth.
I know that’s sometimes hard to do, but it’s not with this case. Because so much of it is written in black and white, just sitting on the pages of documents waiting for you to read. You don’t need a translator, maybe just a good bit of spare time.
After all, Trump administration officials have spent much of the past year proclaiming that no Epstein files exist, and then they on Wednesday released some 20,000-plus documents of Epstein emails and various correspondence. And that’s still not the Epstein files.
What we have seen so far, however, is decidedly not good for the sitting U.S. president in his quest to prove that he wasn’t participating in the child rape at the center of Epstein’s world.
Emails between Epstein and various friends show that apparently Trump at least knew of—if not participated in—Epstein’s child rape crimes. In one email, Epstein wrote that Trump spent “hours” at Epstein’s house with one of the known victims.
But perhaps the most damning documents are the ones in which Epstein, without provocation or incentive, talks about Trump knowing “about the girls,” or when Epstein proclaims in a text message that he is “the one who can take (Trump) down.”
A couple of things are crystal clear: Trump and Epstein knew each other very well, and they were both fixated on young girls.
At this point, I’m not sure how you deny either of those things, given the mountain of evidence of both. And I don’t know how you could dismiss the remarkable amount of smoke rising from this fire of evidence.
But that’s exactly what his enablers in Congress—after years of wink-and-nod accusations aimed at Joe Biden without a shred of evidence—are trying to do, as they scramble and contort themselves into physical knots trying to absolve the president/cult leader from the obvious.
The problem they have, though, is that this whole thing doesn’t pass the smell test.
It stinks.
Mainly because the people involved, particularly the president, keep acting so guilty. From his goofy “Democrat hoax!” cries to his increasingly desperate attempts to coerce members of Congress into protecting him and blocking the vote to release the files, it’s all exactly what a guilty person would do.
That includes calling up Representative Lauren Boebert, summoning her to the White House and trying everything imaginable to get her to not sign the petition demanding a floor vote to release the files.
Then there’s the whole Ghislaine Maxwell thing.
This lady, in prison for her role in grooming and trafficking dozens of underage girls for Epstein and his pals, had one meeting with Trump’s attorney and all of a sudden she’s living the prison life of a Mexican cartel boss behind bars.
According to numerous reports citing different sources, Maxwell, who was transferred after the meeting from a higher-security federal prison to a cushy country club prison, is getting celeb treatment inside. She has special meals delivered to her, gets special bathroom privileges, gets her own private workout time in the gym and even got a puppy for a while.
I’ll say again: This lady was convicted of recruiting, grooming and delivering girls to be raped by Epstein and his rich pals.
So, you tell me what could have occurred in that meeting with Trump’s attorney that led to this change in treatment? What’s a credible explanation other than this lady can corroborate information contained in the Epstein files, and they’re trying to make sure she stays happy?
Please. I’d like to hear any other explanation.
Look, you don’t have to be that Oz the mentalist guy to figure this thing out. There is some very damning evidence against Trump contained in those Epstein files. Things he won’t be able to recover from. And he knows it.
If there wasn’t, he would have released the files by now. Republicans wouldn’t have literally run from the House chambers and denied the proper seating of a duly elected representative for two months. Maxwell wouldn’t be getting the Martha Stewart treatment in prison right now. And Trump wouldn’t be pulling every PR trick in the book to distract from this very obvious problem.
So, yeah, there are a lot of people trying to distort the truth and push false information in this Epstein-Trump scandal. It’s OK to be a tad overwhelmed by the volume of information.
It’s not OK to let the liars fool you.
