A former police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s told the FBI he had received a call from Donald Trump at the time to say "thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this," according to an FBI account.I know which former police chief it was. Where was Trump earlier when "everyone" knew about this? Silently complicit until Esptein "stole" his workers multiple times.

So was the acid used to dissolve bodies?
Why did Jeffrey Epstein have gallons of industrial-grade sulfuric acid delivered to his properties?
Who put acid in Steve Bannon’s hot tub? Where did the acid come from? Why does someone have that much acid? What’s the purpose of buying the acid?
This is so bizarre.

You went to sleep after the Super Bowl.
Here’s what Trump did while America slept:
He forced Ghislaine Maxwell before Congress. She refused every question. Then her lawyer panicked and offered a deal: clemency for testimony.
A woman serving 20 years for sex trafficking is so terrified of what Trump is uncovering that she’s BEGGING for a way out. He said NO.
His DOJ released 6 MILLION pages of Epstein files. The result?
Prince William and Kate broke their silence for the FIRST time. “Deeply concerned.” The Royal Family is in full panic mode.
Norway’s ambassador RESIGNED. Their crown princess apologized. An entire country is crumbling.
The chairman of one of America’s most powerful law firms — Paul Weiss — RESIGNED overnight.
Lord Mandelson is under CRIMINAL investigation in the UK.
Larry Summers RESIGNED from OpenAI.
One man released the files. And the entire global elite is falling apart.
Netanyahu flies to Washington Wednesday. Iran nuclear deal on the table. Trump is reshaping the Middle East in real time.
All of this. In one weekend.
They told you no president could touch them.
He didn’t just touch them.
He buried them. ⚡

If anyone in the trump administration had even an ounce of shame, both Lutnick and trump would be resigning immediately. Of course, that's not how fascists roll, but others have resigned over far, far less...
trump, Lutnick and Musk are all guilty. It obvious, but they are malignant narcissists who refuse to take any accountability for their actions. Ever.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/lutnick...stein-why-dont
The files reveal family trips, business deals, and charitable donations between Lutnick and Epstein, contradicting his claims that he cut off contact with him in 2005. They break down how other governments, including the UK, Slovakia, and Norway have forced resignations or investigations over Epstein ties, and why the trump administration is shrugging off any accountability for Lutnick's lies.

HOLEE SHYT‼️
It appears Steve Bannon and Epstein were plotting to remove DOJ Protections to bring criminal Charges against Trump during his presidency
Newly released Epstein files reveal a 2018 text exchange where the idea of having the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) withdraw its longstanding memo prohibiting the indictment of a sitting president is discussed. Epstein compares it directly to how Bush-era OLC memos on torture were later rescinded by Steven Bradbury in 2009, stating: "To remove the prohibition on indicting a sitting president... would be exactly the same as withdrawing the opinion on torture."
Epstein jokes about "Yoo memos" (referring to John Yoo's infamous torture authorizations).
Epstein pushes further, noting Rosenstein can do the same, echoing how OLC opinions on executive power in the War on Terror were overridden.
This brainstorming session happened post-Bannon's White House exit after being ousted, during his feud with Trump—suggesting an effort to strip away the immunity shield from President Trump amid the Mueller investigation.
Epstein later added, “You’re an honorary Jew”, to which Bannon Replied, “I will drop the ‘Christian’ in ‘Christian Zionist’.

For those asking why Trump pretends not to care about Epstein, the answer is the Streisand Effect.
The Dems/MSM wouldn’t touch the Epstein story with a 40 foot pole for decades, so we had to bait the Left into caring about Epstein.
We had to dangle the Trump carrot, and the Left took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. The only way to get the Left to pay attention to Epstein, or any scandal for that matter, is if they think it can help them damage Trump. So we let them believe Epstein was about Trump.
It was also important for a matter of optics. If Trump just released all this info right away and was demanding it come out, the Left would have claimed it was politically motivated, fake, doctored, etc., they simply would have refused to believe it, and the MSM would have refused to report on it. In order to mitigate this, Trump had to seem uninterested and get the Left to beg for it first. Trump tricked the Left into demanding the Epstein files, so when the truth eventually came out, they couldn’t dismiss it or ignore it as easily. They are all on record demanding the Epstein files for months.
The Left have become predictable with their TDS, so Trump weaponized it against them. He made it seem like he didn’t want the Epstein files to come out, because he knew this would make the Left want to look into the Epstein files.
Trump intentionally invoked the Streisand Effect to his advantage, aka, reverse psychology. The oldest trick in the book.

In addition to the facts, we have a logical argument that no one has ever been able to refute.
If Trump was implicated with Epstein, the Dems would not have needed to concoct the Russia hoax or any of the other lies about Trump.
If Trump was implicated, why didn’t the Dems mention Epstein a single time before 2016, 2020, during Biden’s term when they had control, or 2024? Why did they have to try to indict Trump for process crimes, the phony documents raid, and other nonsense?
Mueller looked under every single stone, investigated every person Trump ever came in contact with, and was looking for a reason to slap something on Trump. He found nothing. Trump is literally the single most vetted person in history.
If there was ever anything about Trump, the Dems would have released it before Trump won 2016, but there was never anything about Trump, hence why they had to make shit up.
The reason why the Democrat elite never brought up Epstein, is because Epstein was part of the Democrat elite, which is confirmed via Epstein’s email history. The Dems never wanted to bring any attention to Epstein, but Trump did before the 2016 election.
If Trump was implicated in crimes with Epstein, why would Trump bring up Epstein and Bill’s time on the island?
It’s a simple matter of logic that cannot be refuted. If there was ever any dirt on Trump, Obama’s cronies like Comey and Brennan would have leaked it, and Epstein never would have been covered up in the first place.

That call wasn't calling the cops on the guy, it was calling to thank him after the fact. Nuance, J.
His explanations keep shifting. From what he knew to what he was willing to say publicly vs privately. From what he fell out with him over to why he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. And each new explanation shows less and less empathy for the victims. His desire to keep it under wraps once in power despite running on transparency and the utter lack of transparency about it.
Including wanting to protect his friends. He doesn't have that bone in his body.

Apparently the FBI redacted documents before handing them over to the Justice department.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ep...ep-khanna-says
Epstein files scrubbed to protect 'elite, powerful men,' Rep. Khanna says
Questions continue to emerge over the Department of Justice’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. One Democratic congressman went to the House floor to read the names of six "wealthy, powerful men" whose identities were shielded in the public release. Rep. Ro Khanna co-sponsored the Epstein Transparency Act and reviewed some of the unredacted files. He joined Geoff Bennett to discuss more.
Rep. Ro Khanna: (D-CA):
Donald Trump's FBI scraped these documents in March, and the thing that they took out were survivors' statements to FBI agents about rich and powerful men who raped them or committed heinous acts.
And then those documents from the FBI were sent to the Department of Justice in a redacted form. They were already scrubbed. We need those documents to be unscrubbed. That's what the American people want to know. All of the rich and powerful men, many of them who raped these girls, are in those FBI statements, and those statements are still redacted.
But the names that I read were listed as co-conspirators on documents. And the reality is, the Justice Department acknowledged that their identities should not have been redacted.

He didn't call to act as a witness or turn in Epstein. Epstein had already been arrested.
As for Maxwell, he had no problem calling her evil on the call but in public years later he claims he barely knew her, that they never really interacted and that he wished her well.
Smells rotten, J. Like the garbage you'll find rats in. Whether your nose works, idk. Doe 174 still has much to answer and answer for.
Remember that the man "had no idea" about any of this stuff with Epstein in prior statements but now we know he claims to have known and seen some things.
It's like Lutnick. He tried to pretend he had no relationship with him except that they were neighbors, but we know now they were lunch buddies and Lutnick visited the island.
