Chump is the one who's try to hide. Chump is such a lying weasel and now he's getting the Repukes to believe that it's all about Clinton and not him.

Once again, the mistaken belief in "presidential immunity" has no bearing here. Whatever crimes Chump committed in cahoots with Epstein happened long before he was president. He has no immunity and he can't claim it now. The Supreme Court cannot get him out of this one.

…his demand that they make public all information in the files about him suggests he feels he has nothing to hide.

And the fact that Bondi released a long-available, public domain photo of Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, along with their children, except that the kids have their faces redacted to give the impression that they were some of Epstein’s trafficked children, makes me even more suspicious that this may be a deliberate hit-job. I’m all in favor of tossing Bill behind bars if he was found to be involved in sexually assaulting children, but his response here is the first time I’ve thought there might be nothing behind such accusations.

distraction from dumpie's own Epstein problem. That's two sets of photos now there was absolutely no way
the DOJ found them in the Epstein files.

It was a hotel pool at a stop during one of the Clinton Foundation’s tours.

Epstein helped fundraise for the Foundation and lent it his plane since the Clintons didn’t have a plane of their own. I’m assuming he came along for the ride.

In 20/20 hindsight it’s shitty optics but this was before Epstein’s crimes were known.

That is, why the fuck would the Clintons come within 100 yards of the pieces of shit Epstein and Maxwell, we are on much different paths.

I see a picture with Clinton in a pool, one female blocked out, one looks like Maxwell. You seem ready to convict based on that. Possible explanations, the Clintons were swimming in a pool, Maxwell jumps in and a pic is snapped.

Now, we also should agree that the Jackson/Ross photo was absolute bullshit, agree?

So if one bullshit pic is pushed by the DOJ, I am definitely going to question the veracity of other photos.

I find Clinton's affairs awful and if true the multiple accusations of sexual violence even worse, but sitting in a hot tub or with his arm around but not touching a girl/young woman's waist aren't crimes.

This is the problem with releasing random pictures that aren't part of a specific allegation. Shockingly a rich guy trying to maximize his power met with lots of powerful, rich, or important people. Doesn't mean they were involved with any crime.

106. Do you believe Epstein's victims?

Because none of them have said Clinton ever did anything inappropriate with them; in fact, one of the victims (Davies) in the pictures that some deplorables are using to try to smear Clinton has said that Clinton was a "perfect gentleman" when she met him during a humanitarian trip to Africa to help with AIDS awareness.

110. I am talking about the facts of the photo

It has nothing to do what Bill Clinton is saying. The facts of the photo are that it was at a public pool at a hotel while Clinton was at a conference/fundraising tour. Epstein was not there.

Not everyone in the photos are pedophiles, and survivors have pointedly said Bill Clinton didn't do anything with them.

None of the photos show anything sketchy of him.

61. There was a time when Epstein's crimes were unknown to most

Epstein worked hard to seem legit and as a wealthy person familiar with financial matters he was often in the company of important people who knew nothing at the time of his crimes.

104. Epstein's schtick was to lure the famous, whether guilty or innocent, under guise of charity, to create opportunity
Mon Dec 22, 2025, 09:30 PM

influence peddling. Epstein got credibility by pulling in famous people, pretending to be interested in supporting their foundations and charity work, creating opportunity and networking for himself and his guests.

Some wanted his perverse activities, while others might have been lured in just enough to be subject to blackmail based on ‘appearance of impropriety’.

So photos of Clinton prove nothing. If he was participating with underage girls, disclose it and prosecute. The DOJ would have shown it if they had anything actually incriminating. Epstein’s victim Chauntae Davies was 22 years old, and she was photographed — fully clothed — massaging the shoulders of a fully clothed Bill Clinton; she described him as ‘a perfect gentleman’.

Bill Clinton is a lot of things to a lot of people, but he's never been that kind of dumb. He just called trumps bluff, and there will be a screaming fit in the WH today, and I'm here for it.
Played like a master...Bill knows they have NOTHING on him.

Mon Dec 22, 2025, 04:35 PM

... to make Clinton seem like the abuser will fail. Researching the "scandalous" photos reveals they are presented falsely. The one with Diana Ross has her kids "redacted". It's NOT even an Epstein photo! Plus, the singer has always had tight caregivers - not even Michael Jackson would get near her kids. And, the "hot tub" photo isn't an Epstein photo, either... distract, distract, distract...

53. A purely innocent photo
Mon Dec 22, 2025, 04:45 PM

can be made suspicious by simply 'redacting' the face of a person in it.

Those black blobs work both ways.
Protect the guilty and implicate the innocent.

Now, none of the public victims have accused Trump of any wrongdoing but quite a few met him and several have said they felt uncomfortable when they were in the presence of Trump and Epstein at the same time.

When she went to the police they ignored and ridiculed her and we know Florida gave Epstein a sweetheart deal

The rich men she named harassed her to the point she recanted but I choose to believe the victims

There’s a guardian article from jan 8, 2024 that lays things out but he has been accused

She said she was mistaken.

Very interesting you left that part of.

As I said, Bill Clinton is not implicated. I am right.

if you're innocent, which you clearly are not.
Bill Clinton, although far from perfect knows he's not guilty of the crimes you are being accused of and therefore demands full disclosure of all evidence. Only the actual guilty parties would object to it's release.

GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

116. What would someone who is mentioned in the #Epstein files do, if he or she believes that he or she is totally innocent
Wed Dec 24, 2025, 05:21 PM
Dec 24

Lawrence asked the question "With the world now wondering about the 10 co-conspirators who Jeffrey #Epstein referred to in some of the #EpsteinFiles released today, it is worth considering...what would someone who is mentioned in the #Epstein files do, if he or she believes that he or she is totally innocent of any wrongdoing with Jeffrey Epstein?"

Former President Bill Clinton's office (told DOJ to release everything)...and there it is, that's the model for how you handle the situation if...you believe you did nothing wrong...Donald Trump has never demanded that

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Trump was flying with Epstein around the time FBI got its first tip about Epstein youtu.be/mhPvffgGBbc?...
