"global criminal enterprise"

Fascinating that the original MAGA intuition concerning a world-wide sex crime syndicate is proving to be real.

Hillarious that more MAGA will end up being caught in this conspiracy than anyone else.

At the bottom of this sewer we will find Donald Trump.

So.... looks like Q was right about an International Pedophile Ring of Elitists.

Just not Hillary's Fault(tm) located in a the basement of a basement-free pizza shop.

Likely this was put out blaming Dems because the Elitists knew it was going to come out some time.

Trumpstein Files Could Expose Crimes Against Humanity

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

That's just the official GOP platform for the last 70 years.

Ike was the last human being Republican Pres... the rest have all been evil bots for the Oligarchy.

Billionaires never forgave FDR for taxing them and restricting their tax loopholes, or JFK and LBJ for a more humane Great Society.

Republican Revenge was Reagan and the Reaganomics of Trickle Down... which NEVER EVER werked, according to the people who invented it... and was another of their Crimes Against Humanity, including Citizens United and Corporate Personhood.

And how many years did the government know all this prior to 2025?

Oh,the files were sealed so the prior administrations couldn't act. They didn't know what was in millions of records.

There just wasn't enough evidence to act.

No one knew...

At this point - we all know that the Epstein files are not going to result in anything - and that pisses me off. This was bungled by 4+ administrations because BOTH SIDES are protecting their rich (usually Jewish) donors that were blackmailed by Epstein. To make matters worse, we have these 'victims' out doing press conferences - these women were all 18+ when they met Epstein and are no more than prostitutes feeling regret. Worse, most of them went on to recruit other girls for Epstein making them co-conspirators and human traffickers too. That is why they won't name-names - they have the stink on them from their own actions. They best that we can possibly hope for would be to have these 'victim's actually name names and publicly shame the abusers. However, that probably won't happen as we see Democrats really not caring - such as Woody Allen and Roman Polanski still being celebrated despite both of them raping underage girls.

Can any of you liberals explain how you can listen to this taped phone call and not demand Woody be strung up?

If you gave 2 ----- about the kids, you would have demanded Woody face justice. But, you don't. You deflect. I want all the pedos strung up - don't care which party they belong to.

If that is "what we all know," then why is Pres trump apparently trying so hard to perpetute a cover-up?

Release the Epstein files, of course, with the names and identifying information of the victims redacted.

Your comment was not directed at me, but allow me to respond anyway.

My concern is not in who might be caught up in the whole Epstein affair.

My concern is for the Justice that the victims of Mr Epstein deserve.

Democrat or Republican culpability? I could not care less.

I want Justice for the victims.

Why does Pres Trump seem to be so against that Justice?

Justice for the victims of Mr Epstein.

Well, there you go again. Trump, Trump, Trump. Why not make the same argument that you wanted Bush, Obama, and Biden too? Again, it is 100% certain that if Trump did something with kids that was actually in the Epstein files, it would have been released prior to the 2024 election. You know this. I know this. So why continue with this nonsense?

Yes, string up all the pedos - but, after 4 different admins had these and NOTHING HAPPENED and you did not demand something happen then - blaming Trump now is not honest, and again, we both know it.

Yup.

There I went again, asking why Pres Trump seems to be so against releasing the Epstein file.

... Again, it is 100% certain that if Trump did something with kids ...

Again, I will say, I am not looking for something in the files against Pres Trump.

Aside: why does your current alias seem to be so focused upon deflecting away from that possilbe occurrence?

As I have said many times before here, my main concern is Justice for the victims.

Whoever may be caught up in that application of Justice, I do not care if the person is a Democrat or a Republican.

I just want Justice to be served for the victims.

What, specifically, is the issue your current alias seems to have with that?

@#14 ... Well, there you go again. Trump, Trump, Trump. Why not make the same argument that you wanted Bush, Obama, and Biden too? ...

Your left out fmr Pres Clinton.

Here's an interesting article ...

The one weird court case linking Trump, Clinton, and a billionaire pedophile (2017)
www.politico.com

... A woman who claims in a lawsuit that she was lured into a sex-trafficking ring run by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein contends that the depravity began at a Florida resort now known as the winter White House: Mar-a-Lago.

Virginia Giuffre's civil suit, scheduled to go to trial here later this month, threatens to expose new details of a long-running saga tying together President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, and other prominent figures, including Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.

Epstein, a well-connected Manhattan money manager and philanthropist, was once a regular at Mar-a-Lago and an active supporter of the Clinton Foundation"repeatedly lending his 727 jet to Clinton for trips overseas. Dershowitz defended Epstein amid an investigation into his involvement with underage girls more than a decade ago, and it was Acosta"then the U.S. attorney overseeing south Florida"who allowed Epstein's case to be resolved in state court in 2008.

The scandal has spawned a series of drawn-out civil suits, including Giuffre's.

Giuffre, formerly Roberts, claims she was 15 and working as a towel girl at Trump's posh Palm Beach club when she was recruited nearly two decades ago into sexual slavery by socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, then Epstein's girlfriend.

A lawyer for Trump says the president was unaware of any wrongdoing by Epstein. ...

When Biden was elected President, Epstein was dead and Maxwell was convicted in Dec 2021. All he had to do was prosecute Trump for anything illegal he had to do with the Epstein cabal... But he didn't, I wonder why... Kammala Harris has stated publicly that their decision to not release the files had to do with the administration wanting Merrick Garland to decide what to do with it, not the President. Funny how she changed her tune not long after Trump was reelected, criticizing him for waiting on Congress regarding the Epstein debacle.

None of you morons have any moral high ground to stand on.

Really? You want to list the names so far? We know about the king perf Clinton and his crooked wife already. Epstein and Maxwell were involved with the "Clinton foundation" and Maxwell even went to Chelsea Clinton's wedding for f's sake. And Trump? Yes he's in there but from Dems and Epstein saying how much they hated him and wanted him out of office. Yet another Dem back fire.

Trump didn't release the files.
The Department of Justice released the files.
It took an Act Of Congress to get them to do it.

And it will take a change of administration for the Dept. of Justice to actually release all the files.

DOJ is running a coverup for Trump, and you know that, and you approve of it.

Only one administration has been bound by a law to release the documents.

Only one of them have slow played that release and even went so far as removing files from the releases after they generate bad press.

If Donald didn't have his fat ass planted on the sewer lid, all of this would have been over many months ago.

The Epstein cover-up rightly allows people to think the worst.

And million and millions of us think that Donald Trump is a pimp, a rapist, and the murderer of girl children.
