The Salacious Ammo Even Donald Trump Won't Use in a Fight Against Hillary Clinton
Vice ^ | 1/29/16 | Ken Silverstein

**SNIP**

Flight logs show Bill Clinton traveled at least 10 times on Epstein's private jet, dubbed the "Lolita Express" by tabloids, and he is widely reported to have visited Little St. James, Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands. That's where, according to attorneys for Epstein's victims, many of the worst crimes against minors were committed by Epstein and friends who traveled there with him.

In a 2011 interview with her attorneys, Virginia Roberts, one of the teenagers preyed upon by Epstein, said he had told her he had "compromising" information on Bill Clinton and that the former president "owes me a favor."

Yet despite Bill Clinton's ties to Epstein and Trump's stated willingness to make Clinton's sexual past an issue in the campaign, Trump will almost certainly avoid bringing up Epstein's name. Because in addition to haunting Bill Clinton's past, Epstein also haunts Trump's.

Clinton and Trumps have things sticking out of their closet.

Obviously this person doesn't know Trump.

After reading the entire article, I think the writer may be wrong. Seems like Donald Trump has nothing to worry about with regards to his knowing and even socializing with Epstein.

The media have yet to introduce us to everyone that has been wronged by Donald Trump.

Don’t worry, they’re just waiting for the right time to do so.

Agreed - Trump comes out looking not bad in the article.

This will be his ace in the hole.

Meanwhile, this just may make it unnecessary for Trump to ever bring it up.

Not only has Bill Clinton's name come up in the court proceedings, but Dershowitz, one of the key figures in the case, says that he cannot conclusively deny that Clinton was present at lavish sex orgies thrown on a Caribbean island by Epstein. What's more, one of the victims said that Bill Clinton in fact was present at an Epstein island orgy.

Exactly, however that is not the reason for the post. We will need to bookmark it. The TDS and remaining gang of 14 will be slinging this nonstop. I't will be interesting who the next troll is that brings this up.

I do wonder about John Kerry's connection here. For being a mudslinging nothing burger about Trump, it sure as heck linked many of the establishment politicos into the scandal.

I’ve looked at that list very closely. The names include those at (or near) the top of the foodchain:

Rothschild
Hanover
Windsor (Guelph)

and further down the totem pole:

Rockefeller
Kissinger
etc...

Do you really think they were ALL there for underage sex? There must be something else going on. Although, given the horndog Clinton is, he was there for the sex.

I thought Rudy Giuliani made NYC safer and Bloomberg just held office afterwards.

At the end of Bloomberg's 3 terms, NYC had 1/2 the murder rate at end of the Giuliani's 2 terms. The murder rate around the country plunged along with NYC's during the Giuliani era, because of the ebbing of the crack cocaine epidemic. During Bloomberg's tenure, NYC's continued going down even after the murder rates around the country plateaued.

Assuming Trump does manage to win the Republican primary, we will know whether or not he was wrapped up with Clinton and Epstein (no pun intended) if this attack is never offered by Trump. For the man willing to say anything about anybody, his potential silence on this issue will speak volumes as to his own culpability.

You are mostly right. Fiorina, Trump, Huckabee have criticized her but should be doing more of it.

If it comes to it, he will use likely use it.

He isn’t the type to pull punches, as he warned Hillary that he will ring Bill into it if she starts with that “war on women” nonsense.

Yeah, I’m going to guess that The Donald doesn’t need a triple or even double-dog dare.
Even low-info Dem voters’ ears would prick up in the grocery store check out lines.

He ought to do it anyway. Screw waiting on Hillary.

What did waiting for Godot ever get anybody?
