On Wednesday, MeidasTouch, a self-styled "pro-democracy" media outlet, shared a 34-second clip of Epstein being questioned over his relationship with Trump in 2010.

According to a 2016 article in the Daily Wire, which describes itself as being "right of center," Epstein's interviewer was a lawyer representing one of his alleged underage victims.

In the video, the lawyer asks Epstein, "Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?" When Epstein asks for clarification, the lawyer says, "Have you socialized with him?" Epstein then replies, "Yes sir."

"The interviewer continues, "Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?"

Epstein replies, "Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendment rights, sir."

Epstein smiles just before saying, ""Though I'd like to answer that question,.... ".

He knew he had something on Trump... because blackmail was literally his business, and he had a thriving business through Deutsche Bank .... also Donald's banker after most other banks blackballed him.

My wonder here starts with Epstein; the admitted sex trafficker was the guy who introduced Trump to his current wife.

Guessing that started out with her being trafficked to Trump.

Is there any reason to doubt that possibility?

If so...what might that reason be?

That idea has come up, it doesn't seem to fit nicely within the timeline etc.

The original story was that Trump met Menania at a Meet & Great party in New York.

The Meet & Great is shorthand for beautiful young models to hook up with rich bachelor sugar daddies . . . AND for rich men, not necessarily bachelors, to hook up with arm candy.

As the story goes, their eyes mat across a crowded room . . . and the rest of the story wrote itself.

He called her later, they dated and each signed a contract . . which is rumored to include a One and Done clause regarding children.

One can imagine how Melania must have suffered until Barron was conceived. However, it was part of her job, her contractual obligation.

What Donald was really known for bragging about publicly at the time was screwing married women, often wives of friends; as he noted in his P grabbing tape.

Underage girls was only among close friends like Jeffrey.

Elon is of course known for his half dozen or so contracted wives and twice that many children. Plus some he stiffed on their payments.

No wonder he and Trump got along so well at first.

Oligarchs are above the Law and moral conviction.

Presuming Maxwell knows the same information as Epstein..

His corpse may yet successfully kill a president.
