Trump clearly did not know Epstein ...

John Oliver explains why:

"All Trump did was repeatedly host Epstein at Mar-a-Lago, have him at his wedding, hang out with him at Victoria's Secret fashion shows, get listed as a passenger on his plane eight times, joke with him at a party while pointing out hot women and saying something into his ear that got the most grotesque smile in the history of human expressions, tell a reporter 'I've known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy. He likes beautiful women almost as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,' and allegedly host a calendar girl competition, where other than the two dozen or so women flown in to provide the entertainment, the only guests were him and Jefferey Epstein!" Oliver recited.

The HBO host then reminded audiences of the president's own public treatment of women over the years.

"You'd also have to forget about Trump bragging about his ability to grab women's genitals, and claiming he'd go backstage at his beauty pageants while women were getting dressed, something he was accused of doing by five Miss Teen USA contestants, and once remarking of his own infant daughter Tiffany that 'She's got Marla's legs, we don't know whether or not she's got this yet, but time will tell,'" Oliver said.

"Beyond that though, there's nothing there!" he continued. "Except for a jury finding him liable for sexual abuse, but other than that, there's nothing to see!"


LOL ...

This Epstein situation is a lot bigger than Trump if it is true that the blackmail material he supposedly possessed is in the files

I could not agree more. A whole lot of men appear to be involved in this scandal. If it is revealed in full, it may be the largest scandal in this nation's history, and will include a lot of men on both sides of the political aisle. We seem to get new information every day. I was watching a news report last night, and the guy being interviewed said that there "definitely were video cameras" in Epstein's residences. He said that Epstein had once called the Palm Beach police to express his suspicion and concern that one or more of his domestic employees was stealing from him, and that the Palm Beach police helped Epstein arrange to have video cameras installed in his Palm Beach residence. You have to wonder what those video cameras recorded.

There's also a money trail here, with reports being that there are records of roughly 4,700 wire transfers into and out of Epstein bank accounts, and that Epstein received something like $1.5 billion in wire transfer income. Who wired him that money, and what wee they paying for?

The following settlements with a couple of Epstein's banks suggest that the money trail was likely very substantial. Viz.:

JPMorgan Chase & Co
  • JPMorgan settled a class-action lawsuit with Jeffrey Epstein's victims for $290 million in June 2023.
  • JPMorgan also settled a lawsuit with the US Virgin Islands for $75 million in September 2023, where Epstein had two private islands.
Deutsche Bank
  • Deutsche Bank settled a similar class-action lawsuit with Epstein's victims for $75 million in May 2023.

Hey, Aardvark: Good to hear from you. So you went to that snorkel beach at St. John's, eh? That's about the clearest water I've ever seen. Probably clearer than Lake Tahoe. Just a beautiful beach. Larry Rockefeller knew what he was doing when he bought in there. Glad to hear the you and Mrs. Aardvark are going on SKI (Spend Kids Inheritance) vacations now and then.

BTW, I had no idea that Pedo Island was so close to St. Thomas/St. Johns. I swear it!!

Nor did I!

Caneel was largely wiped out by hurricanes but is still accessible. Currently development rights are in a federal park service procurement (eye roll). So in other words…

coming soon to a theater near you, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Trump Caneel Bay Resort!!!

but we did snorkel every day - Waterlemon and maho probably the favorites.

The 2008 deal from Acosta under Bush Jr is interesting. The connections back to his HS teaching job. Seems to be a lot of questions about how he got his wealth

Are they just thinking people will forget about this?

I think there is a Supreme Court hearing on some aspect of this case that is coming up in the next week or two. But your concern is valid. It is the responsibility of the Democratic Party leadership to keep this issue front and center, but that leadership, although profoundly more ethical than the GOP leadership, is completely ineffectual. I think that ineffectiveness is a combination of being in a minority position in both the Senate and the House, and being just plain incompetent. Chuck Schumer, in particular, is a waste of space. He should step down. I hope AOC replaces him in the Senate. She is at least motivated to speak up, and does so regularly.

Everybody knows Trump and Epstein knew each other.
yep and everyone knows Trump said...and I quote...

"I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
