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."

Let's imagine for a moment that all of the evidence came out today and there was proof that Trump engaged in illegal activity. What would the result of that be?
He's not going to be prosecuted while he's in office. We already know that from his first term.

Would GOP congressional members drop their support for him? Doubtful. It didn't stop them before when he tried to overthrow the Constitution on Jan 6.
Would his voters stop supporting him? Doubtful. They didn't care that he was convicted of 34 felonies and found by a court to have sexually assault E Jean Carroll.
Trump supporters would just claim there is no way he could have known the girls were underage (despite the recording of him essentially acknowledging he knew Epstein was involved with young girls), and even if he did know that is ok because it was years ago and he's changed. Many of his male supporters would probably want to give him a high five.

Either Maxwell was offered a deal by the Trump administration, freedom/lighter sentence, for her to corroborate the new narrative of there never having been a list.

Or.

She'll soon be found suicided.

#12: Probably no political damage to Trumpf, but possibly some loss of support from disgruntled MAGAts. And Trumpf is going to absolutely hate hearing about Jeffrey Epstein for the next 42 months.

Moreover, the fallout might embarrass members of the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and also open the Dotard up to a lifetime of litigation from his victims, much like the victims of sexual abuse that the Vatican attempts to cover up.

My guess is that Epstein was being run by Mossad with the full knowledge of the US Intel agencies and both of them:

1.) Do not want to be seen as pimping underage girls
2.) Do not want to lose their blackmail material

But, what is your theory?

Here is the uncomfortable truth that is revealed if people are honest with themselves:

Given the prior conviction for Epstein in the 2008 timeframe in addition to people like Bill Clinton, Price Andrew and Bill Gates linked to him - it is simply not plausible that the CIA/FBI did not know what was going on at the island.

Thus, we are left with 2 possible truths:
1.) Epstein was Mossad and the FBI/CIA stood down and let his sexual abuse of minors continue despite their full knowledge of it
2.) Epstein was a direct asset of the FBI/CIA and they ran the sexual abuse of minors directly

There IS NO PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO in which:
1.) Epstein only trafficked underage kids for himself (this is beyond ridiculous)
2.) The FBI/CIA were unaware of the decade of abuse being done at Epstein island

So, for the liberals defending the Deep State for the last 4+ years - do you believe there is a scenario in which Epstein either 1.) had no 'clients' or 2.) the FBI/CIA were completely unaware of the abuse?

I don't think one exists - which is why I advocate for pulling all funding for both organizations as their corruption is beyond reform.

Let's say for the sake of argument that what you posted above is 100% true. Given that, do you find it believable that the FBI/CIA was not aware of what Epstein was doing at his island between his arrest in 2008 and his 2nd arrest in 2019?

This is not about Trump - it is a question of do you believe the FBI/CIA were aware of what was occurring?

#38 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-07-15 12:36 AM | Reply

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.

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

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.
www.npr.org

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.
www.politico.com

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?

At any rate, I think Democrats are being rope-a-doped on this and are going to end up with all the Epstein material related to Democrats and Hollywood types being released and none of the material related to Republicans and their wealthy donors seeing the light of day. FWIW, I agree with criticalbill, whoever he is, about the cover up that's coming:

criticalbill76.bsky.social
@criticalbill76.bsky.social

Inquiring minds need to know... Epstein was spying for Israeli intelligence BEFORE being flipped and working for U.S.I.C. I read the FBI FD-1023.

My point is: Epstein worked both sides

Outcome: Trump'll cherry-pick who's identity will be revealed, and redact what he doesn't, claim NETSEC issues.

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."
