Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 10, 2026

President Donald Trump has repeatedly maintained that he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's horrendous sex crimes. But in July 2006, just as Jeffrey Epstein's criminal case became public, Trump called then-Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter to tell him that Epstein's activities with teenaged girls were well known in both NYC and Palm Beach and he informed Police Chief Reiter that Ghislaine Maxwell "is evil and to focus on her."

All of this marries up with Virginia Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl and the inexplicable immunities enjoyed by the monstrous Jeffrey Epstein and his despicable partner Ghislaine Maxwell in Florida and NYC.

In 2015, ABC's "Good Morning America" thoroughly interviewed Virginia Giuffre about sexual maniacs Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Relieved that she was finally going to be heard globally, she became despondent when ABC chose not to broadcast her tearful interview. Four years later Virginia learned that ABC did not want to upset the British royal family with her accusation and photographic proof against then-Prince Andrew. ABC executives did not want to risk losing future access to Prince William and Kate Middleton because TV ratings and profits are more important than the pursuit of truth, justice, and alleviating human suffering. Just look at both the profitable 2024 Paris Summer Olympiad and the 2026 Milan Winter Olympiad.

Oh dear.

That may leave a mark.

Fortunately for Pres Trump, however, it seems that here in the US we do not have a political aversion to sleaze, as England has.

What does 'sleaze' mean when politicians use it? (2021)

... Sleaze is one of those marvellously elastic political terms that can be stretched to cover pretty well anything.

Sexual shenanigans, financial fiddles or ethics violations by an MP or peer can all be roped into the category of "sleaze", often leaving them fighting for political survival. ...

The woman who did that?
Her mom was kidnapped.

It's national news.
But they don't talk about this part.

Hi Snoofy:

Thanks for that info.

I was monitoring that event wondering if this was a coincidence or if it was related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Virginia Giuffre (and others) testified about potential threats against the victims and their families as well.

In her book Nobody's Girl and her TV interviews, Virginia keeps asking the same question: How did those two fiends get away with this nefarious enterprise for so long?

In her book she writes that Epstein warned her that he "owns the Palm Beach police department."

She also knew that blackmail and extortion were somehow involved because she discovered two secret cameras hidden in clocks.

Virginia made her three children watch whatever interviews she conducted so that they would be aware of what happened to her and for them to get stronger from it.

Also note that Virginia didn't age well. Years of alcohol, Xanax, and PTSD wore her out. She was also in an accident which injured her neck.

Virginia was slandered for taking settlement money from a lawsuit she filed, but her husband and her became broke because of Epstein and Maxwell and she needed the money for her family's survival. This was also the only measure of justice she could get back then.

Also, Virginia realized that it was her father who "sold" Virginia into sexual slavery.

This miscreant had abused her when she was a child and he let his friend abuse her too while her mother looked away.

This was all before she reached puberty.

Virginia's father worked at Dummkopf Trumpf's golf resort and got her the job there in the locker room when Virginia was 17 years old or so.

Shortly afterwards, Ghislaine Maxwell approached Virginia and convinced her to work for Epstein who would train Virginia, a high school dropout, with a trade: professional masseuse. She jumped at the opportunity unaware of what was going to happen to her.

Virginia had no chance to enjoy her childhood and she committed suicide last year.

Virginia monitored the "Me Too" movement with fascination and realized how powerful men used women as disposable items.

Should Ghislaine Maxwell be pardoned by Dummkopf Trumpf, authorities in Florida and New York must immediately seek warrants for her arrest before she has the chance to flee to Israel and the statute of limitations expire. "G-Max" also has a French passport, but she would find no refuge there. Israel rarely extradites their own citizens and if she was a Mossad asset, Tel Aviv would certainly protect her, like American traitor Jonathan Pollard.

*** If Dummkopf Trumpf Pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, She'll Testify Honestly and Fully. Uh-huh. ***

Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team signaled that she was open to sharing everything she knows about the situation ... if President Dummkopf Trumpf offers her a federal commutation or pardon.

Maxwell's lawyer David Markus told lawmakers that his client invoked her right against self-incrimination because she is currently challenging her conviction, which he said stems from a "fundamentally unfair trial."

"If this committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path. Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trumpf," he bleated.

Yeah, well. How many years did Trump know about what Epstein was doing before that phone call?

You know, where I live, you're expected to protect children immediately.

Not until Donald follows the law and the entire and unexpurgated Epstein Files are released.

America needs the chance to understand fully each of those 3800 references to Donald Trump.

To thank the police for finally doing something....That everyone, including Trump, had known about for years.

Cheap CYA, and a backwards confession.
