"It's worth recalling that after reviewing the files, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel ordered FBI agents to black out every mention of Trump, according to Bloomberg News. Why did they do that?" Kristol writes.

After all, if Trump only pops up occasionally in the files as an innocent bystander, or as a subject of third-party hearsay with no supporting or corroborating evidence, why the need to blackout the mentions? If Trump did nothing "concerning" while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein"as Ghislaine Maxwell is reported to have told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche before being moved to a far nicer federal prison facility"then what's the problem? Why not just release the files, let Trump debunk whatever unverified suggestions may be in there, and avoid accusations of a coverup?

"Why not just release the files, let Trump debunk whatever unverified suggestions may be in there, and avoid accusations of a coverup?" asks Kristol. He suggests an answer.
Perhaps because the files tell us more about the Trump-Epstein relationship? Perhaps because they suggest Trump has something to hide?

That would be the simplest explanation of Trump's own behavior over the last several months. That would be the simplest explanation of the behavior of Bondi and Blanche and Patel. That would be the simplest explanation of why they thought there was a need for such a high-level dinner to figure out how to salvage their unraveling coverup.

My thought, based upon what we know about them so far, is that both Trump and Epstein thought that their ability to sexually abuse young girls was an ultimate mark of their personal power and proof of how very special they both were.

By the way, I agree with Bill Maher here: Trump hasn't stopped. The man is depraved, and there's no evidence that he recognises moral boundaries or exercises self-control.

Trump's guilty as sin

Accused sexual predator Dummkopf Trumpf flying on two separate flights of the "Lolita Express." You can see the pervert's hair is slightly different, as is his tie. The girls are attired differently as well. Note that the trafficked victims are all young and blond, much like his daughter Ivanka.

@#2 ... Paging Mr. Acosta ... Mr. Alex Acosta ......

Yeah.

His apparent absence from investigations and comments looks very odd.

Probably true.

But how could anyone really know anymore?

Those photos could be easily AI generated.

#8: True, Marine. Snopes.com attempts to separate the wheat from the chaff and they have de-bunked phonus-bolonus AI pics like this one: www.snopes.com

Archived imagery pre-dating AI is also helpful.

Unavailable to us is the non-internet method of querying the victims ("Hey, that's me on the left!"). The civil lawsuits in the US and UK against Trumpf, Prince Andrew, Epstein, etc will have verified photographs of the victims entered into evidence.

I watched an interview with Michael Wolff (author, ghostwriter of The Art Of The Deal). He was discussing the 100 hours of interviews he did with Epstein while he was planning on writing an Epstein biography.

Epstein showed Wolff photos of Trump with young, bare breasted women on his lap, another with young girls giggling at the wet spot in Trump's crotch as well as other photos damaging to Trump. Epstein did not provide Wolff with copies, so we only have Wolff's account, but he's credible.

IMO, Trump's guilty as sin or the full FBI file - with names of only the victims redacted - would have already been publicly released. Recall that Bondi told Trump he was all over the Epstein files.

Ya, Trump's guilty as sin. In fact, Epstein told Wolff that if the world knew what he knew, and saw what he had, Trump would be finished.

#10: I found Michael Wolff a credible witness as well, from both a personal and professional point of view.

In all of the investigations about Dummkopf Trumpf, nothing public came out about an Israeli Mossad connection. After Russia and China, Israel is the third largest collector of intelligence in the US. Now there is a potential Mossad link to this saga. The RUMINT is Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein made a fortune blackmailing big shots while selling the dirt on them to the Israelis. These two nogoodniks were probably confidential informants for the FBI as well, coughing up an occasional pedophile or money launderer until the two got way out of hand for the FBI. The released redacted FBI files may validate this RUMINT as well.

If Ghislaine Maxwell survives her ordeal, this UK citizen will end up in Israel.

Trump & Co are doing everything they can to cover up Trump's involvement with Epstein and Maxwell. AG Bondi is reported to have told Trump his name is all over the Epstein files. And with so much evidence of Trump's sexual assaults out there already, it is entirely conceivable Trump is guilty as sin of participating in Epstein's sex ring.

The coverup they're engaged in (redacting Trump's name from the FBI/DOJ files on Epstein .. and more) is just as likely to take Trump down.

I hope some prominent attorney is lining up Trump's then underage victims for a worldwide press conference. They can hide files, but once actual victims come forward the Pandora's Box will be open for all to see. There's no greater guarantee of safety than going public.
