He did not have sexual relations with that wom… oh, Trump? Yeah, Trump sucked his cock while wearing that intern’s dress.

This is what was in Hillary's emails. That's why he wanted them so bad.

On his defense, there was apparently a 2 hour legal discussion on the topic. His statement was correct within the legal framework established. Out of context it sounded dodgy as hell though.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I mean, at one point they were arguing over the legal definition of the word is, that soundbite wasn't from anything resembling a normal conversation.

But unless he takes the stand and drops a bomb on every perv he can, despite the risk of self incrimination, he can get fucked with the rest of them.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fully agreed.

I'm the sort of person who wants people to be judged on their actual choices and actions, not those taken out of context.

The Clinton's going nuclear, in public, would be unlikely but amazing!

Hilary Clinton facing the first opportunity in her lifetime for people to like her.

I guess Epstein probably had two kinds of parties:

a "legal" kind with 18-25 year old hookers

and the illegal kind with under 17 years olds.

The legal ones to sniff out the pedos who mainly hang with the barley legal looking girls , who then get invited to the illegal ones.

It also creates a nice smoke screen for the illegal parties. Who knows who was in on the illegal parties?

Well, the FBI because they have the video evidence, but everyone else can just pretend that they knew nothing about the other kind of party

Where are you getting this information from?

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure where the person you asked for their info, but there's a lot of real info floating around.

Epstein was doing the same sort of shit.

There's some breakdowns from the Epstein files themselves on how it all worked. But those are harder for me to find.

First two words are “I guess”

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So nowhere is the answer then. Just guessing. Cool

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Lotsa guessin goin on around here.

[–] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

Common sense? I would also run things this way if I were Epstein.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would be funny if there’s a civil war between Epsteins friends who raped and murdered little girls and Epsteins friends who just partied with regular prostitutes

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

🤞

And those who just used him/were used by him for money and access to power.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago

Their bluff has been called. I'm betting the GOP folds, they've got a bad hand and too much to lose.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can they just submit like a video of them saying everything, spelling it out as a sworn statement or something? What do they need the whole Congressional Dog and Pony show. People would watch it.

[–] cristo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Any video that's not live on TV could be claimed to be AI. Even though it probably won't be, I'd rather it be in front of a live audience

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No Spin,

Bubba is gonna show that picture live to the world...

"I did have sexual relations with that man!" - points at Trump

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as funny as this would be, i highly highly doubt we get a tell all.

I went to school under that assholes changes. He was the first in many that have killed the education system in this country. I never voted for him either having experienced first hand how clueless he was about the lives of the majority. Having clearly established that I think he is a shitty human. I will say he wasn't stupid. Just self serving like the rest of them. If anyone could have spotted what epstein was immediately and not play into his traps it was him.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

determined to be suicide

My ass. It was officially classified as such; only a fucking jackass thinks it was "determined to be" anything but murder. For fuck sake, they ~~lost the video~~ turned off the god damn cameras.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Or look into the other rabbit hole about the prison guard talking on 4 chan the day of the night Epstein "died" about some weird off the books transport showing up, Epstein ties with Israel, how the Epstein file release revealed his YouTube email and fortnite account name, and how the name was looked up on a fortnite stat tracker and it showed his login on fortnite active and playing games after his death from an Israel IP address. And immediately after this discovery came out and started spreading around last week the fortnite gamertag info got scrubbed from being viewable, including on the way back machine internet archive. Also, that the report from the guard that stated pulling him down from the noose the morning the body was found stated that he wasn't wearing a shirt, but their was a shirt in the evidence bag that the hospital sent back from where the body was transported.
