And what about Trump?

Following a 2018 financial settlement between Florida attorney Bradley Edwards - who represented one of Epstein's accusers, only to be later sued by Epstein, Edwards claimed that Donald Trump was the 'only person' who provided assistance when Edwards served subpoenas and notices to high-profile individuals connected to Epstein.

Edwards: The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk. I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information. That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009.


Meanwhile, as we noted in 2017, opposition research firm Fusion GPS tried and failed to find evidence of a close relationship between then-candidate Donald Trump and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, whose 'Lolita Express" private jet ferried powerful clients to his private island, "Little St. James."

While trying to tie Trump to Epstein in an attempt to push the narrative to at least two reporters, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS - the firm behind the unsubstantiated "Trump-Russia" dossier, found that the Trump-Epstein link appears purely social, according to the Washington Times, which writes "Journalist sources told The Washington Times that Simpson pushed the idea of a close relationship between Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein," adding "Ken Silverstein, the reporter who ultimately wrote an Epstein-Trump report, confirmed to The Times that Fusion had sourced the story."

Mr. Silverstein, who wrote the Vice.Com story, was asked by The Washington Times if Fusion pushed the Epstein-Trump story.

Since you asked, yes, they helped me with that, Mr. Silverstein said. But as you can see, I could not make a strong case for Trump being super close to Epstein, so they could hardly have been thrilled with that story. [In my humble opinion], that was the best story written about Trumps ties to Epstein, but I failed to nail him. Trumps ties were mild compared to Bill Clintons. -Washington Times

In January 2016, Vice.com ran Silverstein's story on Trump's ties to Epstein, which framed them as more social - including dinner parties, two plane trips, and Epstein hanging out at Trump's Mar-a-lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. As Radar reported last April, "According to an investigation by Radar, Trump was among dozens of renowned New Yorkers who knew Epstein socially but ostracized him after Palm Beach police uncovered the financiers sleazy double life," adding that Trump "once barred child molester Jeffrey Epstein from his famed Mar-a-lago club after the presidential candidate caught him hitting on a young girl."

Or two even.
This might be setting up for Trump similar to the saga of OJ Simpson. Get away with the most egregious act(Obstruction) only to be eventually disgraced/indicted for being a friend/client of Epstein.

Wouldn't that be karma?

The biggest shock is that Epstein is still alive.

I'd imagine he has doomsday tapes with lawyers in case he is suicided.
I'm shocked he was in the US. On one hand you'd think he'd realize he skated one time, so why not hide out in the Caribbean or Europe? On the other hand, well, he skated, so he figures he can go back to what he was doing because he's a pervert and he'll jut buy his way out of trouble if he has to.
 
Epstein should have spoken to fellow pedo Roman Polanski. Then again, look at Woody Allen.
 
So Trump knew about this and was so outraged he put a guy on his cabinet that gave him a get out of jail free card?

As we have seen, there is not a lot of vetting of potential candidates. Trump just goes with gut feelings about the loyalty of the person. Therefore it is unlikely trump Acosta was involved with cutting The plea bargain. One of the unintended consequences of being totally inept at managing the executive branch is that it provides a certain amount of cover.
 
ACosta was told to stand down by Cyrus Vance Jr in the case. Miami Herald. Acosta wanted to prosecute but Epstein lawyered up hard with Dershowitz and Starr. He couldn't compete with that or his own bosses plus Mueller telling him to drop it. Miami herald is one source. All there.
Is this true?

Eff 'em all.

He's not riggling out of this one. He may start singing bigly. I bet Clinton is sweating the most right now. 20+ trips on the express jet and he ditched his SS details occasionally too.

The difference between Clinton and Trump is that no one (to my knowledge) has ever suggested Clinton had a taste for underage women.

That doesn't excuse him for having bad taste in friends, and you still have to wonder what the relationship was between Clinton and Epstein, but that's an important distinction between Clinton and Trump.

And how did that work out for the far less egregious Assange?

Don't know what qualifies as a big name in this deal. WJC will not have any exposure. That was guaranteed long ago.
 
So, Trump’s response when asked today about Epstein was, I don’t know too much about this case, it was a long time ago, and Acosta has been fantastic as Secretary of Labor.

What do you want him to say? He sexually assaulted an underage employee on my property and I didn’t report it to the police?

I would have said it depends on the definition of the word “is” the left would have celebrated it.
 
Lol at all the pinkos trying their best to find a way to make Trump into Epstein's wingman. And so soon after having your souls crushed by the Mueller report. This dog won't hunt any more than the other did.

Excellent response.

If the part about Mueller recommending they not prosecute is true, even if there was some sort of good reason behind it, this will ruin his reputation too I think.
Especially if this is viewed as yet another instance of going easy on Trump.

Would Mueller have gotten the Russia investigation if he had been shown to have been deferential to Epstein and Trump previously? Seems doubtful.

Which is to say that I hope Mueller was not involved in the earlier deal.

Are you trying to say Trump has no links at all to Epstein on any of this?

Let's be clear about the position you are taking, and not hide behind snide digs at liberals.
