TRUMP: “I don’t know Prince Andrew, but it’s a tough story. It’s a very tough story. I don’t know him, no.”
FOX NEWS: Immediately cuts to a photo of Prince Andrew, Melania, -Trump hanging out at Mar-a-Lago during a party that Jeffrey Epstein also attended.

---

Fact: There are multiple pictures of POTUS with Prince Andrew at various times.

Observation: You can have your picture taken with someone without “knowing” them. Especially if you are a famous person.

Speculation: POTUS technique to force the issue into the news? I posted a couple of days ago that I was seeing a lot more tweeting about Andrew/Epstein. I think this story is heating up.

It'll heat up a lot more if the Brits comply with the DOJ request to interrogate his nasty ass.

I'm betting they won't, though.

The derps think that showing pictures of him with Trump will get Trump to back off. They did the same thing with Trump's trip on Epstein's plane. How'd that work out?

Donald Trump don't play.

Hey G, can you take me off your ping list? I read all your posts anyway, no sense jamming up my poor ping box since you send every post to the list. Its under enough duress as it is and makes it harder for me to find stuff.

Nothing personal, my fine friend.

Thank you.

I suspect the dividing line for the public will crystallize around whether a person was a guest on Epstein's island, as most commonly confirmed by a listing or two or ten on the Lolita Express. Slick was on there what... 26 times ?

Since The Donald wasn't ever on the Lolita Express AFAWK, he's almost certainly not going to make the cut of anything more than a famous acquaintance of Epstein (who didn't kill himself).

And yes, I certainly agree with you that famous people have their picture taken in even the briefest of moments by amateurs and professional paparazzi alike. It's almost always without significance.

Of course, they did. I despise FAUX News.
