Many people believed theories that didn’t match reality. Like all the videos were of clients. The videos turned out to be child porn Epstein downloaded. Kash had to admit “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been.” His post was almost like an apology to Trump for believing them.

“Get a clue.”

You’re the clueless jacknass for not following the thread to understand who the quote was derived from. Hint: my “i.e.” was simply quoting someone else who said it, and they are very close to the president (as in a family member in case you’re too lazy to look back).

You should be embarrassed for lamely throwing out personal slights without understanding the full context of a conversation. But I doubt you are.

From the article:

Trump said he fears prior officials inside the FBI and intelligence agencies may have doctored files about Epstein to either protect Democrats or harm Republicans.

“I can imagine what they put into files, just like they did with the others. I mean, the Steele dossier was a total fake, right? It took two years to figure that out,” he said. “So I would imagine if they were run by (former FBI director) Chris Wray and they were run by (former FBI director James) Comey, and because it was actually even before that administration, they’ve been running these files, and so much of the things that we found were fake.”

I don’t blame Trump for not racing forward on this.

There is a lot to untangle with Epstein. For example, if the CIA was behind Epstein, do you think the CIA would step forward and admit it to the President. It’s possible they would. It’s at least as likely that they would not. It would be good to get the complete and true story but that could take a while. In the meantime, there are many other issues that may be more urgent.

He keeps saying different things. LOL

I give up.

I still like the things he does we actually voted for him for. I just don’t like those things he didn’t make clear he was or wasn’t going to do.

I would like him not to talk so much and to stop rubbing salt in wounds and deflecting blame for screw ups by his own team. It is all tiring.

If the info was sealed by a judge-with or without an NDA-that means you don’t get to see anything concerning that person-not just their names-that info contains all of the other things listed-personal details that will “out” that person to those who may know who that describes. That means the public can’t see any of the details involving that person just to satisfy the need of some for a scandal to get off on-the law is going to protect that person just as promised. No matter what gets released, it is likely not going to be R-rated reading matter-nor should it be-there are plenty of reality TV shows full of that, with people who don’t have legal protection of their salacious personal details...

I’m sure she will-maybe contingent on her getting a new trial, which would be the smart thing to do...

Yes nothing ever happens in terms of justice or economic solvency; the problem is the guillotine or “When in the course of human events...” makes things start to happen. Our government is corrupt to the core, and yes, that includes the Justice system despite our cult of personalities we follow towards destruction.

Probe wraps up in 2036 or so

He could have saved himself a lot of grief had he pigeon-holed this months ago.

Walsh can go take a long walk off a short pier. My votes for Trump have had zero, zilch, nada to do with the Jeff Epstein hoax and I suspect the same is true for the vast majority of other voters unless they was QAnon.

No. I’m not Candor7. Thanks for the link. By the way, he seems to be much more dialed into this than I am. So, I should add, thanks for the compliment.

Some times I’m left shaking my head in amazement how Republicans shoot themselves in the foot. Have you heard - Maurine Comey AUSA SD NY was just fired. She prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell and what stories this liberal witch can tell about Epstein now that she no longer has her job.

Why do we have to wonder if that is his motive? What is preventing him from telling us that?

He has told us.

When has a Special Prosecutor ever resulted in accountability?

Aren’t they meant to be used to cover things up, or drag things on long enough for the public to move on to a new subject.

And once the Special Prosecutor is named then all revelations are halted while there is an “On Going Investigation”.

Well Done! You've DESCRIBED it PERFECTLY.

Ghislaine has said she will tell all.

Hopefully Maxwell has NOT put herself in the position of being MURDERED.. and then EVERYONE is told that she, just like Epstein, "OFFED HERSELF."

There is no circumstance in which what is released is accepted as the final word but the Pdcast brigade. That doesn’t generate the clicks. It’s all about the grind 🤣. They can release everything tomorrow and it would solve nothing. See JFK files. The podcast brigade won’t even read them. Mark my words

There is only one C7, the duplistic posts are purely random serendipity or a partial copy of my post.

What I posted was taken from a blog of the Colquitt County Republican Party, of Florida.

You will have to query Freeper ChessExpert on his /her source.

Your response is the perfect example that the Epstein situation will never satisfy Les Miserables Freepers

to be minimalist, one might presume that people either want
1. action
2. inaction

Perhaps we might presume that you prefer that some action be taken. Let’s exclude coverup as one of the options, since coverup falls more into the “inaction” category.

so if actions are to be taken by the Article 2 officials, whose chief administrator is the president (here I exclude actions by article 1 elected officials since they are not being excoriated by Les Miserables Freepers), then those administrative branch actions appear to fall into 2 categories

1. direct investigation by existing DOJ and FBI officials

2. appointment of a special prosecutor

and to no surprise, you are unable to pick either.

You simply say, “look at the squirrels” Senate Finance Committee, hearsay, rumors, and six degrees of separation conspiracy theories

It is telling that you are unable to even choose some version of prosecutorial investigation.

One might speculate that you prefer that the matter fester rather than be resolved. I’ll also state that Les Miserables Freepers also don’t actually want the matter resolved.
