"I think you should let him hang himself," Wolff wrote. "If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt."
First of all, ironic.
Second, why the fuck was Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein on PR?
I think you should let him hang himself
Lol I missed that the first time
I think he was just stirring the pot, knowing it will lead to a better story later. It's not journalistically ethical either way.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released three new emails from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that mention President Trump, raising new questions about the extent of their relationship.
If they can release these, they can RELEASE EVERYTHING. Stop fucking around, is all I'm saying.
How do you know they can release everything....? I'm assuming you mean the Democrats, when you say "they".
Because they have in their possession as evidenced by the fact that they've released unreleased emails. There's also that whole stretch between 2019 when Epstein was arrested to January '25 when Trump took office that they were in control of the FBI and DOJ but chose not to release any of this material for some inexplicable reason.
They got Maxwell in 2022. So they were gettin convictions. The real bad DOJ is the one in Florida under Acosta. They could've actually saved girls if Acosta didn't back off on Epstein in 2008.
The fact that this administration is going to the ends of the earth to bury this coupled with them moving an actual pedophile, in actual prison, to a lower security prison and giving her a bunch of perks after she agreed to state she never saw Trump fuck a child is enough for me to believe that we currently have a sitting president who raped children.
The President of The United States of America raped children.
If you have a person living in your house who is obviously molesting children, and you choose to defend and support them, then you are a pedophile, too.
Bottom line: Anyone who still defends and supports Trump is a pedophile.
Proof that conservacunts are only against pedophiles if they're Democrats.
New days continue to reveal the sky is blue.
Don't leave us hanging. Is water still wet?
No
Fucking micro plastics
But it does get other things wet
Does it get other water wet?
Like magnets?
Nobody knows what those are!
Ayo
Pause?
"No joe and the dirty dems are out to get me once again, they turned the frogs gay and our ruining our economy. The radical leftists are trying to make a smear campaign to discredit me, water is not wet. I consulted RFK, and he said "you know don i think you have dementia" So water isnt wet"
--the orange man
From the standpoint of water, it is wet. At least that’s what Trump says.
Don't leave us hanging.
Epstein's final words
Another email Epstein sent in 2011 to Ghislane Maxwell, his associate who was also convicted on trafficking charges, called Trump the "dog that hasn't barked" and says Trump spent "hours at my house" with one of the alleged sex trafficking victims.
Discussing philosophy, one assumes.
Discussing a shared love of doodling and cryptic birthday cards.
What’s that phrase mean? “dog that hasn’t barked”
I noted that too. I don’t think it means ratted them out; my guess is it means he didn’t give them the intel/money/people/thing they wanted from him yet.
That's the way I've heard it used. This person knows/is complicit/is involved in a thing but they ain't said shit yet. It would be the opposite of the old cliche phrase about a stool pigeon singing.
It's from an Arthur Conan Doyle story; Sherlock solved the case of the horse stolen at night by noting that the dog didn't bark, ergo, the dog was a direct familiar of the person who stole the horse, because it would have barked at a stranger. It's a statement about guilt, and how silence is itself a powerful accusation in the right context, like when you'd expect a dog to bark (or a noise to be made in a way it usually is) but strangely nothing happens, all remains silent.
The way the phrase is used in the email is a bit off because the guilty party is neither a barking or non-barking dog, but look at the date of the email: April, 2011, after Epstein's first conviction and around the time that victims started filing serious lawsuits, especially Virginia Giuffre, and going after the powerful men who not only abused them but then defamed them.
At the time this was written, the previously reliable walls of wealth, connection, and privilege were already unraveling, Epstein was getting sued, the media kept poking around, his own moneyed friends were already starting to distance themselves . . . so in this email Epstein is essentially pointing to the unspoken guilt surrounding the ONE person in the middle of all his troubles for whom the dog hasn't barked.
It meant he's kept his mouth shut. He relished his secret relationship with Epstein, as evidenced by his contribution to Epstein's Birthday Book.
Hey didn't say shit about it....I think?
Interesting how that "dog that hasn't barked" reinforces the "Secret Enigma" message in Epstein's Birthday Book.
Starting to look like trump might have been their #1 human trafficking customer.
Unfortunately, we're eventually going to find out that there were many more enthusiastic PedoCons, and probably even some PedoLibs, too.
MAGA hand waving away evidence.
Is that Jimmi Simpson? Love him but don't recognize the role
e: Oh wait, I think it's Mark Pellegrino! Preserving my dumb for posterity
But his emails
"But her emails"
— MAGA for the past 9 years
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as buttery males
"Butt Tizzy Males" has a charm all its own
Who’s still talking about Jeffery? Let’s talk about my ballroom! 🫲🍊🫱
It's his reward for passing those very difficult cognitive tests.
I get there are new things against Trump.
Well, there's no need.
There are plenty, and new everyday, straight from the source.
But the US citizen and politics are allowing Trump to do what he's doing, so no new scandals will do the work, people should.
If they don't - so sad to write - the majority somehow agrees.
You're right, I should just run up on the White House and get murdered 10 times before I even see the motherfucker. Surely "doing the right thing" will be some solace to my child.
What people should do is voting and promoting a different culture, asking their representatives not to remain silent and so on.. You know, democratic stuff
You think we haven't tried that?
I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the man who died in jail Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to pedophiles And defend Her (Maxwell) still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love little boys and girls in the butt God Bless the U.S.A.
The Anthem of Trump.
