Fox News hosts called the Epstein files fiasco a 'ticking time bomb' for Dummkopf Trumpf: static.vecteezy.com

The late bankrupted billionaire goniff Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, was suspected of being a Soviet agent by the UK Foreign Office. Robert Maxwell was also suspected being a Mossad asset, gathering derogatory information of influential people for blackmail purposes. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1991. Ghislaine learned these tactics which she then used to help sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein gather clients for potential blackmail. Dummkopf Trumpf is smack dab in the center of this sh*t-storm. The Mossad must have an extensive dossier on Trumpf, as does the Kremlin.
British intelligence officers suspected that Robert Maxwell, the disgraced publisher, was a Soviet agent, according to Foreign Office papers which have just been released. After the former Mirror newspapers chief and ex-Labour MP died at sea on November 5 1991, there was widespread speculation that he might have been a double or even a triple agent, but the FBI found nothing in a decade of monitoring him, despite his known links with MI6, the KGB and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad. However, his file, titled "Captain Ian Maxwell", at the National Archives in Kew, London, has been found to contain reports submitted to the Information Research Department (IRD), a covert unit of the Foreign Office, describing him as "a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia."

#13: Yup, that sums it up. There are lots of oligarchs out there who want to see Ghislaine Maxwell quieted forever: m.media-amazon.com
In February, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) formally requested from the FBI the flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein's 'Lolita Express' and Ghislaine Maxwell's 'Little Black Book' and to release FBI holdings to the public: www.blackburn.senate.gov
She did something similar with the IRS regarding Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's business dealings: www.blackburn.senate.gov
Every single person that visited Epstein Island should have their name and date of the trip released.

What does it matter if the FBI was aware of what was going on between his arrest in 2008 and his 2nd arrest in 2019?
In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused.[9] Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute.[10] He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.[11] en.wikipedia.org
So yeah, they probably had reason to believe Epstein was engaged in this kind of activity on his private island.

But there seemed to be a reluctance to prosecute.
Second criminal case (2019)
en.wikipedia.org
... On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on sex trafficking charges.[27][134][135][136] He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.[137]
According to witnesses and sources on the day of his arrest, about a dozen FBI agents forced open the door to his Manhattan townhouse, the Herbert N. Straus House, with search warrants. The search of his townhouse turned up evidence of sex trafficking and also found "hundreds"and perhaps thousands"of sexually suggestive photographs of fully"or partially"nude females".
Some of the photos were confirmed as those of underage females. In a locked safe, compact discs were found with handwritten labels including the descriptions: "Young [Name] + [Name]", "Misc nudes 1", and "Girl pics nude".[95]
Epstein requested to be released on bond, offering to post $100 million with the condition that he would also submit to house arrest in his New York City mansion.[145]
U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman denied the request on July 18, saying that Epstein posed a danger to the public and a serious flight risk to avoid prosecution.[145]
On August 29, 2019, nineteen days after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, the case against Epstein was closed by Judge Berman.[146][147] Prosecutors stated they would continue an investigation for potential co-conspirators.[147] ...

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse]
Is there a fire in the sky?
Is there a moon up there?
Is there anything alive now?
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The telltale signs are in your eyes
[Chorus]
More than I can hold in my hands
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire, the ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside and the light from you

I absolutely believe Trump is immorally capable of being being an Epstein buddy. Here's the thing - given how hard Democrats tried to put Trump in jail and have him removed from the ballot, if the Epstein files had any dirt on Trump it would have been leaked.

Whatever Epstein/Trump material that exists, if it still does which is doubtful, Democrats don't have it and never did. Repbulicans have been the ones who have handled the Epstein case on both the state and federal level and with Trump's blessing. For example, Alex Acosta, the guy who prosecuted Epstein in Florida way back when, was later appointed by Trump to be his secretary of labor during his first term.
Trump Defends Labor Secretary Acosta Over Epstein Plea Deal
President Trump is standing by Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, at least for now.
Acosta is facing calls for his resignation after new sex trafficking charges were filed against multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein on Monday.
Back in 2007, Acosta, who was then a U.S. attorney, oversaw a plea agreement that gave Epstein immunity from federal prosecution and allowed him to plead guilty to lesser state charges. At the time, Epstein was accused of sexually abusing young girls.

Trump: 'I feel very badly' for Acosta
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he feels "very badly" for Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, as the embattled Cabinet official faces an onslaught of calls by Democratic lawmakers to resign for his role in brokering financier Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal on sex abuse charges.
"I feel very badly, actually, for Secretary Acosta because I've known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job. I feel very badly about that whole situation," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that the White House will be reviewing Acosta's handling of the case.

DOJ review finds Alex Acosta used poor judgment in Jeffrey Epstein deal
A Department of Justice review found that Alex Acosta, President Donald Trump's former Labor secretary, exercised poor judgment when, as a US attorney in Florida, he gave sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein a non-prosecution agreement. But the review did not find that Acosta or other prosecutors engaged in professional misconduct.

Then there is Bill Barr, who was in charge of DOJ when Epstein died, and his problematic connection to Epstein:
[A]t his confirmation hearing, Barr was asked if he would investigate the handling of a decade-old Florida plea deal that let Epstein escape responsibility for his conduct. He said he thought his former law firm was involved in the case so he might have to recuse.
. . . .Barr's father was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics.

And it was Barr they say who got the secret Epstein stash of incriminating info:

@buckleup36.bsky.social
Michael Wolff said Epstein kept these & other compromising photos of Trump in his safe. The FBI under Bill Barr cleaned out safes, videos/photos on computer hard drives, CDs, USB sticks, and documents out of 4 of Jeffrey Epstein properties. WHERE IS THIS MATERIAL?

Scott Horton
@robertscotthorton.bsky.social
Inquiring minds want to know... G-men say that AG Bill Barr personally took possession of the contents of the safe in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and other super sensitive items. Can we see an inventory of what was taken? How much of it relates to Trump? As Epstein told Michael Wolff, most of it.
bsky.app
PS The only way any incriminating info on Trump comes out is if the GOP is tired of him and want to replace him with someone like Vance, who is relatively young and doesn't have a lot skeletons in his closet. They could destroy Trump and his whole family in one fell swoop by releasing the photographs Wolff describes, video at link:
Republicans Against Trumpism
@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social
Author Michael Wolff says Jeffrey Epstein showed him photos of topless girls sitting on Donald Trump's lap by Epstein's pool, and one "with a stain on the front of Trump's pants with 3 or 4 girls laughing and pointing at it."
