(115,377 posts)34. I think Epstein was probably in the business before he met Trump...
But when they met and understood their interests were similar, Trump probably volunteered to help him secure young girls. He likely bragged about owning the Ms Teen Pageant. I think there are documents already public that have pointed that out?
Then, they were swapping girls, in my opinion. They obviously had built up a reputation within a certain class of very wealthy billionaires and rich people. It is impossible to grasp the magnitude of this scandal. We usually leave the sex scandals to the Brits. They are much better at it.
Then they got their hands on the government. They got their greedy hands everywhere. The corruptness was only limited by their imaginations. Total disregard for the laws of this country.

OP
If there was money involved, you can bet he was in on it. Must be some big deal with all that silence for so long

Does anyone doubt there's more than one trafficking facilitator in the Epstein files?

Epstein had the kind of cash and connections that would act as a pheromone to someone like Trump.

I've been thinking that way for a while also. Think about it -- trash doesn't let anything happen without
