This goes to the fact the he and Epstein were more than casual acquaintances.
There's no evidence of that whatsoever. They obviously knew each other, but there's no evidence that it was anything other than as two people moving in the same social billionaire circles.
I've also posted an statement from a lawyer representing some of Epstein's victims, that in a telephone conversation he "provided information that was very helpful", this goes to the fact that he had some knowledge of Epstein's activities. ( as an aside it would appear that conversation is that which is incorrectly being claimed as being a statement to the FBI, I'll stand corrected on that if and when you provide a source ).
Now what I've "insinuated" from that is that Trump would have known a fair bit about Epstein, and only chose to do anything with that knowledge after many years, and after their relationship had soured. And even then only after he had been issued a subpoena to testify in court, a statement which precluded him from having to appear.
So my position is that Trump knew enough about Epstein to at the least have an idea about what he was in to, and either ignored it or remained wilfully ignorant of it , and only chose to do anything about it for reasons other than that he sought to do anything of benefit for Epstein's victims, which is in refutation to your claim that "Trump distinguished himself from others"
The underlined bit - I think you're wrong here, mate. Brad Edwards (the attorney) actually contacted other people, too, and they didn't provide any assistance. Did they get subpoenaed? Were they forced to appear in court?
No. So, I don't think that is right.
Also, the video of Edwards being interviewed clearly shows clearly shows the genuine appreciation he had for Trump in this instance. I think you got that part wrong.
The rest of the above? Basically, that Trump knew?
Yeah, I believe that. I think he wasn't the only one, though. Everyone knew.
So why didn't anyone else do anything? Well, look what happened when someone tried. Epstein got a slap on the wrist. Why? Because Acosta was tapped on the shoulder and told to lay off Epstein because he was an intelligence asset (as per Vicky Ward from
Variety). Like I said in my previous post, Epstein's main motive was to blackmail people, and he was doing that for Mossad/CIA.
So, some didn't do anything because they had been compromised. Others because they're deranged f**ks and are into that shit (Kevin Spacey, for example). Others because they knew that Epstein was untouchable.
It seems to me that when an opportunity actually appeared, when someone was actually willing to take a shot at Epstein, that Trump saw that as an opportunity and he took it.
I think part of the reason Trump ran for President is because he knows about shit like this. When Trump says he is "draining the swamp" he means it.
Don't believe me? Well, the IG Report into FISA Abuse from Horowitz is out soon, and that will start to expose the swamp, and don't forget that Durham is running an actual criminal investigation into the previous administration, and we already have people like Clapper getting scared and trying to throw Obama under the bus on CNN.
There is a slow process of information being rolled out and a slow series of steps being taken in this regard. Why slowly? Because people need to be acclimatised to the truth and it needs to be done legally. Just dropping the Weiner laptop into the public domain would have caused a f**king civil war. So, they're going slowly, methodically and legally.
Patience, Bandy. The IG Report is supposedly due this month (it has been finished and is under review), so you'll start to see some shenanigans in December.
