    Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “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. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

      But I thought he didn’t like the guy?! How will I square this information?!

      “I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I had a falling-out a long time ago, I’d say maybe 15 years,” Trump told reporters in the White House in 2019 soon after Epstein was taken into custody in New York. “I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you.”

      Trump supporters are incapable of critical thinking.

      a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs

      somehow this makes it more fucked up. like having this pristine attribute and clear headedness and still doing all the incredible evil and harm. mark of a true psychopath. you could maybe maybe make sense of it a tiny bit if it was like ‘oh he did lots of meth and cooked his brain’ but NO this fucking sicko was stone cold sober throughout all that shit. unreal.

    Now imagine that Joe Biden’s name appeared instead, and imagine that Epstein had died in Federal lock up during his term. Fox would be on this for weeks.

    i am absolutely OK with Epstein’s buddy list being withheld until Summer or Fall but certainly it should be public on Oct. 1st, once November’s ballots are printed.

      • Correction: the CIA have enough technology right now to make someone “hung himself for being a pedo” 😉😉

        To be honest with the connections he had, did you really believe he will hang himself? He just pissed out someone in charge the most probably he was thinking about making some things public, so he got eliminated that’s it. I believe he was determinated to say something and he got no price. If he had any price it will have been achieved. So the only solution was getting rid of him.

        I think thats the most likely. We know most prisons are a shit show, and he preferred to take the easy way out rather than face the rest of his life in prison.

        Any surprise that a pedo is also a coward?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The names of about 200 people linked to Epstein, who took his own life in a New York jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial for child sex charges, could be revealed this week after U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled that they should no longer be redacted as part of a settled civil lawsuit between Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty in December 2021 of helping Epstein abuse and traffic underage girls, and accuser Virginia Giuffre.

    There is no evidence that Trump visited Epstein’s notorious Little St. James island, where the late financier is alleged to have trafficked and sexually abused young women and girls.

    Giuffre said Maxwell then recruited her to give Epstein massages, and she was also forced to have sex with his friends in locations such as Little St. James and New York.

    In a statement released in 2019, which was reiterated to Newsweek, a Clinton spokesperson said he had “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” and “knows nothing about the terrible crimes.”

    Trump allegedly banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago resort after he showed interest in the teenage daughter of a club member in the early 2000s.

    I had a falling-out a long time ago, I’d say maybe 15 years," Trump told reporters in the White House in 2019 soon after Epstein was taken into custody in New York.


    The original article contains 699 words, the summary contains 227 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    There is speculation that former President Donald Trump could be among the high-profile names included in the unsealed court documents

    Look, we all assume Trump likes to grab the pussies of children… but these “speculation” articles need to stop. Just wait a few days until it comes out ffs. This kind of stuff just fuels the right-wing.
