"The email, sent by the Assistant U.S. Attorney General for the Southern District of New York on Jan. 7, 2020, says that the President flew "at least eight times" during the three-year time period, including when "we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case," in reference to Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of Epstein who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking underage girls."

;;

"Another FBI case file (EFTA00020518) dated Oct. 2020 includes an allegation of rape against Trump. It is unclear who provides details of the alleged incident, as names have been redacted.

A limousine driver, whose name has been redacted, reported a "very concerning" phone conversation had by Trump as he drove him to an airport in 1995. [Name redacted] noted Trump continuously state the name "Jeffrey" while on the phone, and made references to "abusing some girl."

The file continues that an unnamed person stated: "he raped me," referring to Trump. "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein." The statement continues: "Some girl with a funny name 'took me into a fancy hotel or building, that's how it happened'."

Talk among yourselves....

"Epstein introduces a 14-year-old girl to Trump

In addition, there is a complaint (EFTA00019101) filed by an unnamed woman in January 2020 in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff, named Jane Doe, details her alleged abuse at the hands of Epstein and Maxwell. The court document also includes details of a time when Epstein took the victim to meet Trump in 1994.

"Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump, playfully asking him, referring to Doe, 'This is a good one, right?' Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why," the document reads.

A case file from the FBI (EFTA00020508) about investigations into Epstein's crimes includes another mention of Trump, in which he is accused of hosting a party for sex workers."

Republicans will deny and deny and deny.

And when that doesn't work, which is approximately the "You Are Here" on the map of how this is playing out, Republicans will pivot and coalesce around a the shared understanding that they never really cared in the first place.

It's all going according to plan.

"Not caring when the President is a rapist" is good a practical definition of fascism.

I think it's time to stop redacting names and faces and have these people come forward and let thing lie where they lie.

I'm tired of this second hand, he said she said bullshit. If Trump or anyone else did something, it needs to come out of someone's mouth, on the stand. And we need to stop focusing only on Trump. Lets focus on all of these motherfuckers and see what's there.

And keep in mind, just because someone flew on the jet doesnt imply wrong doing, even with Clinton. I say lets stop worrying about who flew with Epstein and worry about who we can verify went to the island and back it up with a victim's complaint. Anything else is just hearsay and smearing.

"Included in the latest batch of files released on Tuesday is a letter, apparently sent by Epstein to Larry Nassar, the former U.S. women's gymnastics Olympic team doctor who was convicted of sexually abusing numerous young athletes.

the letter, which is postmarked on Aug. 13, 2019, Epstein writes:

"Dear L.N. as you know by now, I have taken the short route' home. Good Luck! We share one thing ... our love & caring for young ladies and hope they'd reach their full potential.

Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein."

How about if we focus on the living person whose name appears most in the Epstein Files, and it turns out that name is Trump.

Is that a bargain you're willing to make, as you navigate the "bargaining" stage of the Kubler-Ross model?

As you are certainly aware, Trump has settled at least twenty-five sexual misconduct lawsuits out of court.
So there's twenty-five people who cannot come forward because of their NDA and those settlements.

Do you support a Judge nullifying those agreements so that they can speak without fear of legal retribution from Trump?
Let's see if you can put your money where your mouth is.

Maybe there's hope for you yet, I really can't tell sometimes. Merry Christmas.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone at the DOJ gets a lump of coal in their stocking for Christmas... maybe even a Termination Letter.

Good point. Boaz, like so many MAGAts at the moment, is a bit confused, desperately looking for a way to somehow minimize the self-inflicted damage Trump is causing himself today by supervising an almost comically incompetent coverup of his horrendously bad choices in the past.

Trump Flew On Epstein's Private Jet More Times Than Previously Reported,' Flight Records Cited In DOJ Files Dump Show
President Donald Trump flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet "many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said in an email on Jan. 8, 2020, citing flight records they had received the day prior.

The email was included in the latest batch of Epstein files the Justice Department made public on Tuesday. Its recipient is not known.

The message states that Trump was listed as a passenger on Epstein's plane for at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also present.

On one of the flights, the only passengers present were Trump, Epstein, and an unnamed 20-year-old, the email says.

"On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case," the email states.

#14 Major DEI Boazo* is repeating what his white "friends" told him to say.

They tell him what to say/think, then send him off to fight the "libs" on the Retort...

... while they laugh and laugh and laugh at him behind his back.

* What boaz' white "friends" call him behind his back.

Oh, and is it true that Major DEI Boazo was passed over time and time again for a promotion? And that's why he was forced out?

Curious minds want to know.

The close association between Trump and Epstein is extremely well established by their own words and statements.

You keep demanding more evidence but I suspect you're just sea lion if this topic and you'll never stop defending the pedo in chief.

If resection was stopped and people came forward in person, you'd start ripping them and their statements to shreds and wouldn't believe it even then.

Boaz is gassed trying to keep up with TrumpWelt's shifting party line.
"We have always been at war with Eastasia."
Must be tough, though, adjusting to the shifting realities of a cult run by a senescent lunatic.

Jeffrey Epstein apparently wrote letter to Larry Nassar referencing Trump
www.theguardian.com

... A disturbing letter that appears to have been written by Jeffrey Epstein and sent to Larry Nassar, the US Olympics gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexual abuse, is included the latest batch of Epstein-related documents released by the US government.

"As you will know by now, I have taken the short route' home," the letter, which appears to have been signed from Epstein to Nasser, reads. "Good luck! We shared one thing ... our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential."

The letter continues: "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls.

When a young beauty walked by he loved to grab snatch', whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system." ...

Donald Trump appears more often after his name was redacted as much as possible than Clinton appears without any redactions of his name.

But sure, prosecute them both. Sounds great to me.

Oh! This was you deflecting. Got it.

#14 | Posted by boaz

Is he?

Seeing as Trump's name was removed countless times, and the FBI has an entire division dedicated to removing Trump's name, you're probably right that Clinton is there more than Trump.

But if the FBI hadn't redacted Trump's name, it would appear literally hundreds of times.

You really just can't accept these facts, and that's a huge embarrassment for you.

More embarrassing than just being okay with these facts -- which you are, so why bother pretending?

The FBI Redacted Trump's Name in the Epstein Files
The bureau's FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents would not be appropriate or warranted.'

You think Trump was hanging around Epstein for different reasons than Bill Clinton was hanging around Epstein?

Since you seem to think it's relevant that Bill Clinton is in there:
What's the relevance, and why doesn't it apply to Trump?

#30's Headline?

"Trump's FBI says 'Epstein' prison postcard to pedophile Larry Nassar is FAKE"

That's hilarious! Consider the source, Major B... known LIARS.

Back in 2023:

"Jeffrey Epstein tried to send a letter to Larry Nassar before his death, records show
The letter to Nassar, the U.S. gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of athletes, was found returned to sender in the jail's mail room weeks after Epstein's death in August 2019, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The documents also provide a fresh window into Epstein's behavior during his 36 days in jail, including his previously unreported attempt to connect by mail with another high-profile pedophile:

Larry Nassar, the U.S. gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of athletes.

Epstein's letter to Nassar was found returned to sender in the jail's mail room weeks after Epstein's death.

"It appeared he mailed it out and it was returned back to him," the investigator who found the letter told a prison official by email. "I am not sure if I should open it or should we hand it over to anyone?"
