    This comment looks like a confirmed diagnosis. Trump derangement syndrome is definitely a thing. Some people will believe anything negative about him and disregard anything positive to fuel their hatred. Those type of people just brainlessly eat up whatever the media spews.

    and another one. some people just cannot have a civil conversation without assuming the person they are talking to is stupid.

    We'll see, there's a lot of people in Trouble who held public roles during that charge period, Trump isn't one of them.

    your use of the term "the swamp" makes me think you believe that, and that nothing I can say can change your mind, so let's leave it there.

    Again, I couldn't care who she implicates, I just hope that every single last one of them gets what is coming to them


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,042 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    I don't believe your going to see Trump wrapped up in this, these charges relate to 94-97, the public corruption legal team are the prosecution which is rare so it would lead me to assume the president at that time could be in a lot of trouble.

    Donald trump was a co-defendant with Jeffrey Epstein in a child rape case in 1994. The same SDNY that arrested Maxwell ‐ who Trump fired the head of out of nowhere two weeks back and tried to replace with a crony (unsuccessfully) ‐ were also in charge of that case.

    This is why maxwell is likely dead by September or earlier, just like Epstein. And why the trumo administration will do next to nothing to investigate it, just like with Epstein.

    If she believes Epstein didn’t kill himself, she has every reason to sing straight away.

    That's going nowhere anyone can take a civil case, Trump saying he'll kill her and her family should make sure she never testifies, I think it's a crock or crap I'm sure some will believe Trump will kill her. The timing of her resubmissions is very dubious looks more like a political stunt funded by his haters.

    I don't think anyone really believes he killed himself. This is one time that the conspiracy theory is more believable than the official statement.

    I actually do believe he killed himself, purely because he transferred his wealth into a holding group days before he died. Makes it seem like he knew what he was planning.

    Plus he’d had a previous suicide attempt in July.

    Witness intimidation has been trunks thing for a long time. But don't take me word for it, instead take the words of his own personal lawyer Michael Cohen. He was told to use intimidation about 50p times in a single decade under trump.

    The same trump that has bragged about perving on undressed underage girls at his beauty pageants, and who had to settle put of court (something he claims you should never,ever do) for raping his own wife.

    There's a good chance Bill Clinton is wound up in this too. But make no bones about it, Trump - who was also a good friend of Epstein who he openly acknowledged "likes them young" and whose clubs Epstein used to recruit many of his victims - is every bit as likely if not more so.

    If epstein had info on Clinton but not trump, The DOJ would have spent huge resources trying to investigate this over the last year since epsteon mysteriously died under barrs watch. Instead they've done next to nothing, apart from firing the guy whose department arrested Ghislaine Maxwell, who will now also mysteriously suicide herself with little to no DOJ investigation over getting go the bottom of it.

    She's much more of a threat to the men involved than Epstein ever was. She was the one who made travel arrangements, recruited and instructed the girls, liaised with the men which child they wanted and when. The men involved probably didn't bother to learn the name of the child they were raping at any given time, Epstein included.

    If she's got any sort of sense, and I think she does, she will have gathered enough to implicate those men and stashed it away safely. And made it clear that in the event anything happens to her, the lot gets uploaded to the internet. Or that if she's going down for it, she'll bring the lot of them with her.

    Unfortunately I'm not optimistic about the victims getting justice here. There are too many powerful people involved who have a vested interest in making sure that it all stays buried.

    So... You're prepared to publish a list without knowing whether it is correct or not, but you are not prepared to consider photographic evidence of Trump and Epstein socialising at parties and direct witness testimony implicating Trump, or that fact that Epstein was killed/died through negligence under his watch.

    Okay.

    I'm don't have access to evidence in the case, that list was in response to someone throwing out random names, the flights lists are public record and those names are on it, so it's some way factual. It means nothing though.
    It's a case of believe it if you like until we know more. Being at the same party means nothing, is Elon Musk implicated as he was at a similar party in a similar picture. Trump in a picture to Trump is a rapist that controls his victims with death threats is a massive leap to make.

    Obviously not wanting this to descend into a conspiracy theory but the way people believed that he had died without question is strange. For someone who kept meticulous records he would have had to have a dead mans switch that if he was killed would automatically expose all of his friends.

    One other thing is the recent sketch of a short haired woman who was seen in Portugal around the time of a certain high profile abduction with two other US brothers seems very similar to Maxwell.

    Not when there are 23 allegations of sexual assault and rape against him, but in any event, I'll leave it there.

    Let's hope she testifies and lives long enough to go to jail for what she did, along with those that partook in or facilitated what Epstein did.

    Trump threatening people is a 'leap' made by his personal lawyer who was commissioned to do it actually.

    A random picture where the person who retrieved it openly admits to just randomly grabbing off a page on google in the same image is a little more tenuous.

    It's accepted common knowledge that Prince Andrew, the Clintons and Donald Trump were all very, very close with Epstein, and all look to have a good deal of guilt here. Properly looking into how he cuicided himself if Trump had nothing to do with it would have been a massive PR win that he desperately needs, and something he would have shouted loudly on over Twitter for the last year. Instead, there's barely been a peep from him and barely an inch of carpet lifted from William Barr's DOJ to see what got swept under it. Just the firing of the guy in charge of the body that arrested his accomplice, and that previously were overseeing a trial with Epstein and Trump as codefendants for raping a child.

    They might be referring to Epsteins handwritten ledger. If they are, then they are conveniently omitting the fact that Donald Trump was also in this ledger, along with several of his family members (including his daughter Ivanka).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,546 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    What would you rather we call people with an obsession that Trump is the root of all evils. There praying this takes down Trump, they'll lose it when the penny drops it's going to make him stronger.
    It's hard to get your head around how evil the Clintons might actually be. Trump has called it from the start and consistently through his presidency.

    FUCKING LOL :pac:

    A flight list doesn't mean that the people on the plane were going to his island.

    Epstein allowed people to use his private jets to go where they wanted. Unless there's a destination included, these "flight lists" are useless as anything except a bunch of names.

    Exactly my point and the same applies to them pictured with Trump.

    Thought it would be clear Bill Clinton would've closer to the Stein & Maxwell that Trump (property deals) ever was.
    Madam Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton's wedding, and a recent book suggested Bill "I did not have relations with..." was banging the Madam at one stage (on plane/island and at her townhouse).

    trump was a personal friend of epstein. it wasnt just a business relationship. Bill Barrs father was also very close to epstein.

    As someone with more of a Democrat leaning, I'm happy to say that if Clinton is involved, I hope he spends the rest of his days in jail.

    Would Trump loyalists be prepared to say the same if he is involved?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    Problem is Trump the dealmaker friends are business relationship at the core.
    Donald already had alluded to the Steins wicked ways once proclaiming he likes 'em young'

    Bill and the Madam sure do look cosy and informal on their way into the private plane.
    Surprised Hilary let her attend the Chelsea wedding.

    "I've known Jeff 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."

    Oh yeah, scathing stuff right there. This quote being taken while Epstein was using Trumps resorts to prey on underage girls who wound up in his exploitation scheme.

    We all get that Bill Clinton has likely got some very dodgy dealings on the same nature as Trump when it comes to Epstein. What's curious is why the trump brigade feel such a reflexived need to defend a pedophile who is already on record about bragging about barging into changing rooms to peer at undressed girls, many of whom were underage, at his pagents?

    She's the ring leader by the sounds of it, I'd say they don't even need her testimony with all the Video evidence. Can't see them giving her much off, even if she got 15yrs off she's still looking at 20 behind bars which is pretty much life as she'd have to make it to 78 before release which is highly unlikely.

    Ghislaine knew she was already under suspicion. So why didn't she go back to - and stay in - Britain when she had the opportunity? She was incredibly stupid to continue living in the US after Epstein was arrested and charged shortly before his death/

    To say that bragging about doing something is proof of having done or intending to do it is like saying that the gardaí who joked about raping a woman they had arrested actually were going to commit a crime against her.

    yeah but even if she is just offered 10 years off its worth taking to give her some chance of not dying in prison.

    Im interested to see where this goes next. By all accounts Gislaine was the madam for the under aged brothel in New York and organising all the young girls for Epsteins party island. Surely we should be seeing some pretty high profile people brought in for questioning soon. Id say there are a lot of wealthy people who are not necessarily household names caught up in this too and availed of Epsteins and Maxwells girls, would expect a lot of Wall St bankers, lawyers, etc were going to these parties too.

    There are also women like Mariana Billado (former Miss teen Utah) confirming that he did indeed do just that - walk in on them when they were undressing in the changing room during pagents.

    First thing she needs to do is make a statement

    ' I did not kill myself next month''

    But seriously, she needs to make a statement asap, that under no circumstances is she suicidal, or has she any intention of harming herself

    Third, does it not seem a bit odd to have Jeffrey Epstein in there twice? Did he board twice and misspell his own name or what?

    She was named to the FBI years ago by the first two sisters they interview in the documentary on Netflix. They reported what happened to the local police, but were told that because Epstein flew them out of state they had no jurisdiction and they’d have to go to the FBI, which they did.

    Just a pure guess, but I reckon he Banged kids and then pimped them out to rich and famous, filmed them and blackmailed them for financial gain and exploitation by foreign powers.

    Few interesting names there nonetheless. Jeffrey Jones, actor and convicted sex offender. Woody Allen, known for having an "improper" relationship with his then underage stepdaughter, now his wife. Spielberg and Sheen, both slimeballs. Dershowitz, whom Giuffre claimed to have been sexually abused by.
