"I think you should let him hang himself," Wolff wrote. "If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt."

First of all, ironic.

Second, why the fuck was Michael Wolff advising Jeffrey Epstein on PR?

I think you should let him hang himself

Lol I missed that the first time

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

I think he was just stirring the pot, knowing it will lead to a better story later. It's not journalistically ethical either way.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released three new emails from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that mention President Trump, raising new questions about the extent of their relationship.

If they can release these, they can RELEASE EVERYTHING. Stop fucking around, is all I'm saying.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

How do you know they can release everything....? I'm assuming you mean the Democrats, when you say "they".

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because they have in their possession as evidenced by the fact that they've released unreleased emails. There's also that whole stretch between 2019 when Epstein was arrested to January '25 when Trump took office that they were in control of the FBI and DOJ but chose not to release any of this material for some inexplicable reason.

[–] SupahRevs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

They got Maxwell in 2022. So they were gettin convictions. The real bad DOJ is the one in Florida under Acosta. They could've actually saved girls if Acosta didn't back off on Epstein in 2008.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The fact that this administration is going to the ends of the earth to bury this coupled with them moving an actual pedophile, in actual prison, to a lower security prison and giving her a bunch of perks after she agreed to state she never saw Trump fuck a child is enough for me to believe that we currently have a sitting president who raped children.

The President of The United States of America raped children.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

If you have a person living in your house who is obviously molesting children, and you choose to defend and support them, then you are a pedophile, too.

Bottom line: Anyone who still defends and supports Trump is a pedophile.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Proof that conservacunts are only against pedophiles if they're Democrats.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

With all due respect to the spirit of your argument, I have to point out that pedophilia is actually about child rape, and that teenagers are not, strictly speaking, children. Pedophilia, as a psychiatric disorder, is about sexual attraction to prepubescent humans. What Trump and the others on the Epstein list are actually guilty of is human trafficking.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All I’m saying is that the good guys don’t normally split hairs on “age brackets” for pedophiles.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

And my point is that they should. Pedophilia is a very serious condition, and it shouldn’t be lumped together with adults who have sex with adolescent non-adults. Both are bad things, but one is a very serious psychiatric abnormality, while the other is simply a social ill.

"No joe and the dirty dems are out to get me once again, they turned the frogs gay and our ruining our economy. The radical leftists are trying to make a smear campaign to discredit me, water is not wet. I consulted RFK, and he said "you know don i think you have dementia" So water isnt wet"

--the orange man

From the standpoint of water, it is wet. At least that’s what Trump says.

Don't leave us hanging.

Epstein's final words

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Another email Epstein sent in 2011 to Ghislane Maxwell, his associate who was also convicted on trafficking charges, called Trump the "dog that hasn't barked" and says Trump spent "hours at my house" with one of the alleged sex trafficking victims.

Discussing philosophy, one assumes.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Discussing a shared love of doodling and cryptic birthday cards.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago

Interesting how that "dog that hasn't barked" reinforces the "Secret Enigma" message in Epstein's Birthday Book.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Starting to look like trump might have been their #1 human trafficking customer.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, we're eventually going to find out that there were many more enthusiastic PedoCons, and probably even some PedoLibs, too.

MAGA hand waving away evidence.

It's his reward for passing those very difficult cognitive tests.

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I get there are new things against Trump.
Well, there's no need.
There are plenty, and new everyday, straight from the source.
But the US citizen and politics are allowing Trump to do what he's doing, so no new scandals will do the work, people should.
If they don't - so sad to write - the majority somehow agrees.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You're right, I should just run up on the White House and get murdered 10 times before I even see the motherfucker. Surely "doing the right thing" will be some solace to my child.

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What people should do is voting and promoting a different culture, asking their representatives not to remain silent and so on.. You know, democratic stuff

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You think we haven't tried that?

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the man who died in jail Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to pedophiles And defend Her (Maxwell) still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love little boys and girls in the butt God Bless the U.S.A.
