Donald Trump and his allies either fed a baseless conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein. Or they’re defending a global pedophile ring. Any way you slice it, the president doesn’t look good.
I agree with the main point of the article which is to keep the focus on Epstein, but to me the article minimizes the Epstein story. Zev Shalev has done a deep dive on Epstein and is now covering him with the excellent researcher and Russia expert Olga Lautman. Their research indicates that Epstein had connections with Israeli and Russian intelligence services. This plus Senator Wyden’s research into Epstein money trail indicate that Epstein was at the center of foreign intelligence operations and possibly transnational criminal networks weakening our nation. For justice for the trafficked girls and possibly for national security reasons, getting more clarity on the Epstein operations will be painful to many, including likely his former bff Trump, but potentially cleansing and beneficial.
You say: “I don’t believe some huge cross-section of Democrats and Republicans would be able to keep their mouths shut about something more sinister than this.”
You lost me at 1 minute. It was now shown to be almost three minutes by wired. If you can’t, or more likely chose not to, get the facts straight, you are either lazy or intentionally misleading. Waste of my synapses either way…
Large money transfers to individuals, foreign countries or obscure companies are the kind of things banks are supposed to be examining as potentially suspicious. Some of the Epstein money transfers disclosed in a report from JPMorgan Chase involved accounts at two Russian banks before those institutions were subject to U.S. sanctions. A few transactions red-flagged were for as much as $100 million.
When sex trafficking underage girls isn’t something that bothers you, preferring to be in the dark about it, it is worrying. Trump says just move on. Hmmm where did Epstein’s vast fortune come from? What about Justice to punish pedophiles?
Whatever you think of the conspiracy itself, human trafficking is keenly felt for those of us midwesterners who travel the heart of I-80. The disappearance stories are genuine. Truck stops in the middle of the night in Nebraska are not something I’d recommend to anybody who values their safety.
Connecting a famous pedophile to a widely known sex trafficking issue is like conspiracy lightning in a bottle.
I think the correct answer to this mystery is that a justice system that prioritizes innocence over guilt is going to have severe limitations in bringing Epstein’s co-conspirators to justice. We shouldn’t try people for crimes we cannot prove. Casting too wide of a legal net could have let Epstein off the hook. And re-opening the case gives malicious actors an opportunity to re-write public opinion.
It’s fascinating to see this thing spill over into the real world. The people who have been engrossed in it are sticking out like sore thumbs!
Why the leftists always cherry picking 2 out of 1001 possibilities, Uri? I am sure you have as good explanation as all the support commie racist Jew-hater Mamdani is getting from the Democrat party representatives.
Why don’t you consider possibility that just like 10 cell phones, body of the Trump shooter, and all other evidence destroying leftists cherry picked versions the Epstein’s files have been destroyed by the CIA before Trump’s second term?
Hey, there is even better possibility, just like with “collusion” hoax dossier, etc. instead of the destroyed evidence, Democrat CIA planted a similar fake/hoax, no? Not possible THIS time ….
Greg Guttfield, dirtbag Fox commentator with a Napoleonic complex, got real and stated the obvious….the conservatives need to take a page out of Black history and own their n-word, that is, Nazi (https://bit.ly/4l1r2DT)
“This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. Nazi this and Nazi that. You know, I’m beginning to think they don’t like us,” he sneered. “You know what? I’ve said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks.”
Gutfeld continued: “The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?'” The defense of course was he was joking….but some topics should be verboten Not even in jest
There clear as day Fox’s representative said the quiet part out loud Yes, it is the Gestapo, Brown Shirts, a Hitler dictatorship. The elephant in the living room has been revealed Of course Fox viewers recoiled but call a spade a spade, and Nazi a Nazi It may be uncomfortable for a little while but you’ll get used to it After all, Germany did

Credit Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) for helping to stoke the Epstein scandal.
Wired did a good piece re the missing three (3!) minutes of video and showed reason to question the chain of custody of those files.

To this I say “JFK!”

In any case, it's giving the impression that "laws are only for the poors".

Pravda would be really proud of you Uri 🤡😘
Straight to the cut. You are a master of the understatement.
“ You are a master of the understatement.”
Speaking like a master diplomat. I’d say it strait: master of BS.
Finally Fox News Owns Nazism

Dr.debil, define “Nazi” then learn critical thinking and irony, sarcasm.
Otherwise you sound like a plain leftist Democrat, in Lenin’s words “useful idiot”
