B-Man Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago There’s a lot of shady business surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. We’ve gone from lists allegedly being reviewed to now supposedly no lists existing at all. Surveillance tapes somehow didn’t work. Prison guards were charged, then quietly had those charges dropped. Future Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and then all his emails from that period mysteriously vanished. The list goes on. It’s all too murky to untangle, and we have no real way of knowing which claims are true, which are false, or what really happened in any of these bizarre “coincidences.” But there is one thing that could still be definitively exposed, and it would go a long way toward explaining everything else: How did Jeffrey Epstein actually make his money? If someone could offer a clear, credible explanation—that he was just some brilliant investor who made his fortune through legitimate trading—then maybe, just maybe, the lone-wolf predator theory holds. Maybe he really was just a monster who occasionally let his powerful friends join in. But no one has offered that explanation. Not then, not now. And until they do, the cover-up speaks louder than the silence.

Others took all the bait the weirdos set out for them. You should be proud. So I guess we're all o.k. with the big Nothing To See Here despite the 100+ pages about how the Epstein Files would expose the Deep State in its entirety? Anyone care to chime in? Were you just ... wrong about all this? Was the real cover-up the Trump cover-up? I can get caught up in a good story like anyone else, but while occasionally curious, I'm almost always cautious. It's been my default for most of my life. Part of the reason I have enjoyed this forum is the exchange of ideas, some mundane, some out there a bit, and I've seen it from both sides of the aisle. I try not to get too deep on things that require major leaps of faith. I'm honestly less impacted by some of the stuff that was shared here (and always enjoyed interacting with DR and the rest of the folks who left), more on some of the crazy #### that passes for "that's just the way we do things in Washington". I know we've beaten it to death...but Trump facing prison and what amounts to a life sentence over concerns about classified documents v Biden taking/securing documents over many years in office (and none with even the question of a President's ability to declassify broadly) and it being a minor speed bump in his political legacy far outshines any thoughts on Epstein and the like.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago For once, I believe her 😃 from FoxNews In an exchange with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday, Fox News' Peter Doocy asked about the apparent contradiction. "So, the FBI looks at the circumstance surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein," Doocy said. "According to the report, ‘this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list.’ So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?" "Well I think that if you go back and look at what the attorney general said, in that interview which was on your network, on Fox News – " Leavitt said. "I've got the quote," Doocy said. "John Roberts said ‘DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Espstein’s clients. Will that really happen?' And she said, ‘It’s sitting on my desk right now for review." "Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, of all of the papers in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes," Leavitt said. "That's what the attorney general was referring to, and I'll let her speak for that. But again when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars." The

This is the same New York Times that, just for example, completely misreported the Trayvon Martin case (going so far as to deem George Zimmerman a “white Hispanic” to further its narrative, a phrase the Times never otherwise used) and was the leader of the lynch mob over phony rape allegations against the Duke lacrosse team.

Notice how the cult always spins things to calm their lizard brains. It still amazes me that the Cult of Trump managed to spin the following established facts into a criminal conspiracy that TRUMP would reveal: - Trump had a long relationship with Epstein, who was a frequent guest at Mar-a-Lago - Epstein got a sweetheart plea deal from Alex Acosta, who was then offered a position in Trump's cabinet - Epstein was found dead while in the custody of Trump's Bureau of Prisons - Ghislaine Maxwell arrested, and Trump quips "I wish her well" - Trump hires Alan Dershowitz - Dershowitz's former accuser, Virginia Giuffre, weirdly recants and says maybe it wasn't he who raped her after all (she confused him with another yellow-toothed goblin?) - Virginia Giuffre kills herself. And now add: - Trump's AG/FBI Director have determined that there is nothing of interest in Epstein's files and that he did, in fact, commit suicide And somehow the Cult says it's all about ... Bill Clinton? Who was last president a quarter century ago? I mean, it isn't too difficult to construct a fine and simple conspiracy theory around those facts, right? And yet we have the bizarro Hillary Clinton baby-eating cult as the favored one. Edited 9 hours ago by The Frankish Reich 1

But Trump? Saul Good, man. Have those secrets flopping around all the illegals working at mar a lago. What could go wrong? Clinton playing fast and loose with national security is a matter of public record (and to be sure you don't drift off and confuse me with someone else--Clinton was not charged, was never going to be charged, and 55pc of the way through Trump's admins has not been charged). I'm really not certain how you missed that, but you appear grossly misinformed about all that. I'm surprised. DJT played fast and loose with classified material, and I thought that an unforced error on his part. i said that at the time the DOJ was raiding his house. I think he should have returned the classified documents when the Biden DOJ demanded it, knowing full well the democrats would go all out to put him away for life given the chance. he shouldn't have given them the chance, though they likely would have moved anyway. At the same time I was suggesting DJT made a mistake on the classified documents issue, I suggested that the number of high ranking officials in possession of classified documents/material was likely near 100%, and some criticism was thrown my way. A short time later, Joe Biden magically found records from his time as VP and Senator, clearly in violation of the law. In the end, it really just seems like mishandling classified documents was business as usual until it involved Trump. I believe most sensible Americans saw the disconnect, saw the inequity of the Biden DOJ, and pushed many to vote for Trump.

ChiGoose Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago 27 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Maybe follow the law and do it the right way? It’s a temporary injunction lasting just 14 days while the court determines if the law is an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Without weighing in on the merits of the claim, there are two important things that make sense here unless you’re in the cult: 1. The Constitution prevails over laws 2. Temporarily pausing the enforcement of a provision of a law for two weeks to determine if the provision is unconstitutional makes more sense than allowing enforcement that causes permanent harm even if the provision is later determined to be unconstitutional. Or, you know, hurr durr deep state or whatever. 1
