House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had spent hours at my house with one of Mr. Epsteins victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged.
Mr. Trump has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Mr. Epsteins sex-trafficking operation. He has said that he and Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019, were once friendly but had a falling out.
But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails, which they selected from thousands of pages of documents received by their panel, raised new questions about the relationship between the two men. In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump knew about the girls, many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure.

(17,834 posts)Heck, the video of Epstein and trump at Mar a lago with those young cheerleaders would have been enough to end the political careers of any other politician. Why that video wasn't played over and over in ads is beyond me. He and Epstein were good friends and they held private parties with just the two of them and a mess of young women, and it's literally on video where they can both seen acting like creeps and groping these women.
I also think, what if a video had come out of Bill Clinton and Jeff Epstein acting like that at a private party, the Right would have literally forced the Clintons to flee the country.

Dems should create TV ads immediately. But they won't

(23,792 posts)This says Trump spent hours with one of the victims. That's the biggest part of this IMO and highly suggests Trump was raping kids at Epstein's house.

In one email from April 2011, Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges related to facilitating his crimes, I want you to realize that that dog that hasnt barked is Trump. He added that an unnamed victim spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.
I have been thinking about that, Ms. Maxwell wrote back.

(223 posts)The Dems dropped some emails one night,
Epstein, Ghislaine, and Wolff in the light.
They whispered of Trump,
Of a dog that wont thump,
And the world leaned in for the bite.
Jeff wrote, That dog hasnt barked its Trump!
My victim saw him once, not a bump.
Ghislaine mused back,
With her cool, poised knack,
Been thinking on that quite the slump.
Trump swore that the friendship was done,
Back when Epstein still thought sin was fun.
He stole girls from my spa!
He proclaimed with a ha!
And called all the questions a con.
Wolff typed, Play it sly, my dear Jeff,
Let Trump hang himself, thats the chefs ref.
If he lies through his teeth,
Theres advantage beneath,
Or you save him its politics theft.
Then Jeffrey wrote Wolff from his lair,
That Trump knew of girls he was there.
Before fate took him down,
And Maxwell wore the crown,
Of scandals too tangled to bear.
Now Congress reopens the chest,
Where secrets and scandals infest.
With emails unveiled,
And reputes assailed,
This operas not close to its rest.

(422 posts)Must have been one hell of an innocent conversation. First question should be what was going on during those hours. Knew of illegal conduct? He was a part of it.
I can guess how the "faithful" will spin it: Trump was trying to "rescue" her.
