Um, to tell him to stooooooop it. He's already said that.🙄
Genuinely unsure if I remember him saying he told him to stop and was the "one to turn him in," or if the substances I am using to cope with reality have finally warped it enough for me to remember days like shitty episodes from my favorite show.
the disgraced pedophile financier and Donald Trump
They're gonna need to clarify better. That's like saying, "the bin full of garbage, and the trash can."
When you're wondering about all that is still hidden, never forget this gem:
That's Epstein -- with his own endless sordid secrets -- saying that about Trump.
I'm convinced that Nicole Brown Simpson was killed by the Epstein network because through OJ she had found out what was happening and was disgusted and threatened to expose them.
I remember that whole thing pretty well: Nicole Brown Simpson was killed in the summer of 1994 and of course no one was talking about anything else for most of 1995, which was the arrest and trial. "If it fits, you must acquit," remember? These were the days of Windows 3.1 and 3.11, and I even had a screensaver of a little white Bronco very slowly being chased horizontally by a couple blinky blinky cop cars. It was good for a laugh.
But Epstein was not a part of that Hollywood set at all, as far as I ever knew. I could be wrong, but California was not really Epstein's world, Epstein was very busy with robbing Les Wexner blind in NY and Ohio at the time, and there was always more than enough history in regard to OJ's ongoing excessive, abusive behavior toward Nicole to explain why OJ did it, if he did it.
So when I read your comment, it seems a bit of an uphill climb, to be honest. Is there evidence that made you think that? I'd be interested in hearing it if you'd like to share.
OJ and Trump were best of friends, friends talk, partners talk. it's said that Nicole loathed trump. I don't think it's a giant leap to suggest OJ found out about those parties and it got around to his partner. Epstein was abusing children from the mid 80s, trump and OJ were best of friends in the early 90s. Is it unfeasible that trump said something to his friend and his friend then passed that on to his partner. I personally always operate under the assumption that if you are telling someone something secret you are telling their partner too, add to this Epstein operating a honey trap for one or more national security agencies then you have vested interests that would want to shut down any exposure and who have hitman and assassins on speed dial.
I don't see it as a huge leap.

I did not remember this, so I looked it up. I had forgotten all about this, but you're right. Thick as thieves back in the day.

Yeah, that's absolutely true regardless of any other factor.
add to this Epstein operating a honey trap for one or more national security agencies then you have vested interests that would want to shut down any exposure and who have hitman and assassins on speed dial.
Also proven, in my personal opinion, especially in regard to Israel. Epstein had ties to both Mossad and Ehud Barak for years. Also, media doesn't like to talk about it, but Epstein made his money via ongoing and extensive blackmail enabled by his own surveillance systems in NY and on his ranch and private island, and of course there's that "above my pay grade" comment Alex Acosta made in regard to Epstein's non-prosecution in Florida in the early aughts, because "Epstein belonged to intelligence."
So yeah, the links are there. Your hypothesis is not proven, yet it's also anything but disproven, and the files themselves are full of countless things that people said couldn't actually be happening but were, so there it is. I'll keep it in mind going forward.
Also, please know that I didn't downvote you: I really wanted to know. I also didn't say "giant leap," I said "uphill climb" because it's not out of the range of possibility: if anything, the Epstein files prove that he had connections that also had connections that spanned the globe and every stratum of society. I genuinely wanted to understand, and now I do, at least more than I did. Thank you for answering me.
I still don’t understand why Virginia Giuffre regards Trump as a gentleman
She doesn't regard anyone as anything anymore, we all know why
I tried finding Virginia saying that. I never could. This comes from her ghost writer, and if you read Virginias book, that just so conveniently was released after her death, you’ll notice it is written like ChatGPT wrote it. Every page just stinks of AI cliches.
So the woman isn’t here to discuss the book that just so happens to say nice things about Trump. Only her ghostwriter can speak for her. We don’t have Virginia here to say whether the way this book was written was her intent, or if anything had been added to it she didn’t say.
Aren't "gentlemen" just entitled assholes with inherited wealth?
Nothing a march on Washington Albania style wouldn’t fix
A shocker, really.
