"I want you to realize that dog that hasn't barked is Trump. spent hours at my house with him." - Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell
"He (Trump) knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop". _ Epstein to Michael Wolff

Epstein's own emails show Trump is lying. RELEASE THE FILES. Expose the cabal of sex traffickers who fill the American halls of power.

The House will vote on it, maybe today, but it'll never get through the Senate. As long as Trump has a stranglehold on the GOP we'll never see those files.

"If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?" Epstein replied.

"I think you should let him hang himself," Wolff replied the next day.

"If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime."

People don't understand the basic operations of our government

Sure this gets a vote in the house

It may even get a vote in the senate

It may even pass both houses

Then where does it go?

To the president's desk

Anyone think he will sign a bill requiring the release of the Epstein files?

Ok, well there is the veto override

2/3 of each house going to vote to release them?

Ok, this makes Trump look bad..

My question is, according to some things I have seen, the victim that was redacted was the one who killed herself. She is on record as saying Trump did nothing to her.

Is there anything there? And why are we going to just automatically take Epstein's word for anything. He was conspiring with Wolf to blackmail Trump.

It really shows what type of man Epstein was and makes you wonder why anyone would even deal with him in the first place.

Until the person who was actually in the room with Trump comes in and says "Yes, he fucked me", it's only hearsay and Epstein's and Maxwell's word.

All the files need to be released. Not a few, but all. Again, the reactions cause a lot of problems with any release.

Where's the physical evidence? As much as emails are there, it's not enough.

Been on a jury. To convict, there has to be more.

Who cares which party. Considering the royalty overseas already sees the potential fallout, this isn't isolated to a few.

Where is all the evidence of the DC Madam? JFK and RFK.

Damn, who is being protected after 70 years?

With leaks like this,hopefully more will spill on all the rest, and finally it all comes out.

Doubt it... emails is crumbs.

West Australia police said they were called to a home in the Neergabby area on Friday night, where Ms Giuffre was found unresponsive.

A statement continued: "The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious."

From the emails:

"Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever," Epstein wrote in a 2019 email to Michael Wolff, an apparent plea from the president for Epstein to leave Trump's Mar-a-Lago club. "[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop."

Would it matter to you if they did come in and say it? I recall a time when you said you'd no longer support Trump if he put our security at risk and messed with the Joint Chiefs. He's definitely done that and you still defend him. You still support him after a jury that he helped select found he sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll.
I suspect you'd still support him if he held an event where he walks into an 8th grade classroom while covered in McDonald's special sauce and instructs the students to start licking.

Of all the many people who have claimed that they know Trump to be a pedophile, how is it that the only person the maggots choose to believe is the pedophile himself, who has the strongest incentive of anyone to lie? It is undisputed Trump has been to Epstein's Pedophile Island on numerous occasions. It is undisputed that Trump and Epstein were best friend for many years. It is undisputed Trump has no qualms about extra-marital sex. It is undisputed he sent a sexual/pornographic birthday card to Epstein. It is undisputed that Trump has bribed many women to keep quiet about his sexual behavior, and used his enforcers to either threaten or bury other sexual escapades. It is undisputed that Epstein died under the most suspicious circumstances imaginable while in jail, and mysteriously the jail footage of the time period when the "suicide" occurred has gone missing ... . And was just weeks after another so-called "suicide" attempt that occurred again under similar circumstances. To say nothing of all those photos of Trump and Epstein partying it up together."@@ AND we have Epstein's emails themselves which make Trump's pedohilia obvious to honest observer.

In the criminal system, it is known as the totality of the circumstances analysis. Short of a confession by the perpetrator, it is the most commons means to conviction at a jury trial.
