We already know that Epstein is incontrovertibly guilty though. Nobody doubts this. Trump is the one in the crosshairs today.
Because he had to plead the 5th to protect Donald. We know that Donald is guilty of diddling children.
Well yeah, we know that. But if it were as incontrovertibly known about Trump as it is about Epstein, we wouldn't be asking for the release of the Epstein list to prove Trump is guilty.
The point is he plead the 5th when asked if he raped children with Trump. So by Trump own words that means he plead the 5th because they did that.
Trump said (well, heavily implied) that the party who pleads the 5th is guilty, not that other parties not present are also guilty.
There's a practically infinite amount of bullshit coming out of Trump's mouth we can criticize so easily; I don't see why anyone would feel the need to transparently mince his words to invent more.
