I suspect Epstein was a government operative. The story just doesn't add up. Forget about the supposed list. He's a "former financer" so who did business with him? What were his investments? Surely there's public record of something other than trafficking?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

The behind the bastards show about him goes into some detail about his early life. Iirc, he was an unremarkable investment worker (not particularly successful or unsuccessful) but somehow managed to become the personal investor for a billionaire and then a little while later he has billions of his own.

My guess is the money came from his first forays into the sex provider and blackmailer business with that first boss or maybe his whole social circle, but obviously there isn't much about this on public record.

Let's finally pop this cyst and let out all of the poison. We need to finally turn a page from this graceless bully. Release the Epstein "rape for the rich" files.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Mueller investigation has fatigued me against this kind of thing. It had way more potential to get Trump removed from office on every level, and just got put in a box and forgotten about.

We already know Trump is a rapist, this was found to be true in a court of law. We know as fact he was good friends with Epstein, the proof is already out there. Neither of these undeniable facts have caused a moment's reflection on the part of his supporters, so I just can't think what could possibly be in those files that would materially change anything.

The Mueller report aftermath makes me so angry. It said that Mueller wasn't allowed to press charges against the President, but that Trump wasn't innocent and that Congress had a duty to impeach. But the fucking White House simply lied about what it said before releasing the report, and people believed them.

When asked if Mueller said he would have prosecuted Trump if he hadn't been the sitting President, Mueller said "Yes."

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

...and then when he was no longer president and was prosecuted, it took so long that he was president-elect by then so was given absolutely no consequences.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago

That was a wild episode of the USA show. Will this man spend life in jail, or get away with it by becoming "the leader of the free world" (AGAIN)!? Tune in next week to find out!

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

It's wild that they spent 3 years working on other cases when they already had a complete Obstruction investigation in the Mueller report. Those charges should have been filed in 2021, but they never were.

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

Can we start organizing to impeach or “constitutionally remove“ (my preferred method, and more realistic imo)

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Tear his ass out of the Office and put it behind a permalocked cell

“Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud,” Cheung told The Daily Beast. “He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Well, now I believe you.

Im starting to suspect Putin has blackmail evidence on Trump

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 104 points 2 days ago (7 children)

He probably does, but it also doesn't matter at this point.

Trump has vacillated on Russia just in the last year. There's a chunk of the MAGA base that wants to stop all funding to Ukraine. Trump started down that path. Then he tried to negotiate a peace deal with Putin and got snubbed because Trump has nothing to offer. Then he started up funding to Ukraine again in retaliation.

Now he needs a distraction from the Epstein Files. He's been desperately asking for ideas around the White House (we know this because this White House leaks more than Trump's bladder). He thinks selling out Ukraine will be it.

Whatever blackmail Putin has at this point is immaterial. Whatever it is, Trump will just call "fake news" and it'll be in the news cycle for a bit, and then go away. Trump is following what he thinks is in his own best interest regardless of what Putin has.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 2 days ago (4 children)

He didn't offer any funding that "deal" was essentially "Europe can give weapons to Ukraine and purchase replacements from the US" and looks like there's even no guarantee on the replacements.

Seems like a lot of people got fooled.

Of course he has. I've been saying this for months. Putin's got a video of Trump fucking a minor and so Trump will do anything he says. Putin was a spy, Trump is a paedo.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

At this point, I don't even think that video counts as blackmail material anymore since Trump's base will just claim "Woke AI Fake News" while watching their glorious leader use a five year old as a fleshlight.

It's in the second article linked above, but the short answer seems to be this:

According to Trump biographer Michael Wolf, Trump and Epstein allegedly competed to see which of the two could sleep with [Princess] Diana first

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

gross, also because diania looks like his then wife, and kinda like ivanka.

[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Gross indeed

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

The article calls Epstein a "disgraced financier", but it fails to call Trump a "disgraced president" or "disgraced businessman."

I also mention this because it's somewhat ironic that these two disgraces were after somebody who was actually graceful.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Ugh these people are disgusting.

Breaking news: Trump biographer Michael Wolf dies in a car crash.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I mean martial law and being a Russian asset is pretty main event stuff. We all know he’s a pedo. It kinda seems like there’s no magic bullet that’s going to wake up the brainwashed masses but hope that there’s a tipping point where maga wakes up and turns on temu Shitler.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Oh they will absolutely turn on him if they smell blood in the water. Someone just has to make him bleed first. They want everything he is doing but they also know he’s gonna be dead soon enough and all the anger from the collapsing cult will be focused on them.

He’s done everything they wanted. He has nothing left to offer them. Now they just need to dispose of him with a massive public spectacle and focus all the consequences on him. Thats what the Epstein files are. Everything about this says the rich and powerful want out and to have him be the scapegoat.

Enter Russia. He’s still very useful to Russia. So Putin props him up by threatening those in his own party. So until Putin dies, this will continue.

When Putin dies, Trump will be completely vulnerable. That’s when everyone will finally oust him.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 22 points 2 days ago

Sounds like Trump's distraction techniques are being used against him.

Delicious.

At this point the only way for him to stop the Epstein coverup from exploding is if he kills Putin during his visit
