IMHO I think it is likely.  He has his reputation and his integrity to preserve.  Only problem is, he knows information that is very damaging and that puts a target on his back, though, likely he knows enough people that would protect him...maybe.

I'll briefly say it again....  After watching 4 years of flailing warfare by the left against DJT, , wouldn't you think that Merrick Garland would have extracted some form of incrimination, since he had the entire file?

The answer to this is probably in the list of names that would have to come down with Trump.

I don't really know or even care if Trump went to Lolita Island. My opinion of Trump's character is already so low, it would not surprise me, or even cause me to regret supporting him based on the horrible bifurcated choices we always seem to end up with in presidential cycles. What I do care about is Trump's obvious gaslighting on this issue, which only elevates my suspicions.

Trump was elected to drain the swamp. The whole sordid business of Epstein and protecting Epstein's associates IS THE SWAMP. So far, based on OBBB and this, Trump seems to want to walk the tightrope between promoting the perception of draining the swamp while actually elevating his stature as king of the alligators.

MAGA world erupts over Trump's defense of Bondi amid Epstein files fallout

MAGA supporters are nor pleased with President Donald Trump following his full-throated defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose Department of Justice denied the existence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list after years of Trump surrogates vowing to reveal the disgraced financier's secrets.

Longtime conservatives and supporters of Trump sounded off on social media this weekend, as well as in person during a convention in Florida, with various messages pledging that the Epstein scandal will not "go away." The DOJ determined that Epstein committed suicide in 2019 and that there is no list detailing the names of the world's elite who allegedly took part in Epstein's history of sexual deviancy. .................

".@realDonaldTrump please understand the EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away," retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump's national security advisor from his first administration, posted to X on Saturday. "If the administration doesn’t address the massive number of unanswered questions about Epstein, especially the ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY ELITES (it is very clear that abuse occurred), then moving forward on so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes much harder."

The DOJ and FBI said in a joint memo obtained by Fox News last week that the two agencies had no further information to share with the public about Epstein's case and death. That led to FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino clashing with Bondi over "lack of transparency" and threatening to resign over the matter, Fox News reported. ...........

   NO @Timber Rattler
   He has campaigned 3 times on bringing these people to Justice.  So far in 4 1/2 years of the Trump Administration has 1 politician been arrested for corruption, rep or dem?

Shoulda seen that coming after Hillary.

[roamer_1]

All this focus, and still no arrests and prosecutions. Not even people falling out of windows. Hillary's crowd at least had 'botched robberies and accidents'.

This bullshit has me looking at Elon 's Party that much harder. And no, I don't trust anyone any higher than a mail carrier in the Government, and not all of them. This administration is no exception.

There's the bottom line.

We don’t know what we don’t know. One way or the other, that is the problem.

Not one arrest past Epstein and Maxwell. Not one exposure. Not a single one.

[jmyrlefuller]

Not one arrest past Epstein and Maxwell. Not one exposure. Not a single one.

And we still don't have Maxwell's unredacted black book.

This could all be solved by releasing the black book.

[roamer_1]

And in that, I don't know if there is an actual 'black book' in the modern age, but it's a handy metaphor to use for shorthand.

Thousands of awful videos this administration claimed to have that cannot be released to protect the identity of minors (stated by Bondi, I do believe) - Not to mention that minors and nasty bits are easily blurred in today's technology - But that in itself qualifies as 'black book'

'There is no list' is bullshit.

If you see the Epstein story as a  crime story, which of course it is, you probably favor maximum disclosure of everyone and everything involved, including innocent people, like a typical court case.

If you see the Epstein story as something bigger, involving more than one nation, you might see it as a Commander in Chief issue, meaning the public is not meant to have the full story, similar to most national defense issues. We elect a president to decide -- in part -- what the public can safely see.

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would derail a peace negotiation?

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would end Republican control of Congress and plunge the country back into a Democrat open-border hellscape?

If you can't say what you would give up to get the full Epstein disclosure you crave, you're not a serious person.

I can't imagine a more damning piece of evidence that Trump's name is prominent in the Epstein files than this obvious gaslighting.

Based on what?

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would end Republican control of Congress and plunge the country back into a Democrat open-border hellscape?

Any "peace negotiation" that requires secrecy is untenable, and quite frankly, if what is in those files is so damning to "end Republican control of Congress," it's an admission that the Republican Party is unfit to govern.

Isn't Adams also supposed to be dead by now?

   We all know 'Day 1' was gonna quite busy for the President. 

   If you're honest with yourself @Right_in_Virginia just add transparency to the Ukraine War list because the AG/CIA/NSC/FBI (all report to him) hasn't released $hit concerning JFK/RFK/MLK that we hadn't figured out before.


    FAIL Day 1 promises:

X  Stopping Ukraine War
X  Transparency

'There is no list' is bullshit.

Epstein flight manifests:

Epstein's 'little black book' (list of contacts):

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1508273-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book-redacted/#document/p1

The phone numbers are redacted.

(This is the third time I have posted these links)

Being present on either does not mean anyone is guilty of a crime. Contacts could be for legitimate reasons, too, and not every plane ride meant someone did dirty deeds on the Island.

The reason I see to keep what they DO know about sexual misdeeds quiet is to use that information for leverage to take down or manipulate those who they have dirt on. It is possible that CIA or Mossad, or some other agency was hock deep in a pedo honey pot operation for that very purpose, and it is likely that if that is so, the operation was ongoing for multiple administrations whether the politicians knew much of anything about it.

So there is that, FWIW, but none of it is necessarily definitive evidence of any particular person's wrongdoing.

That definitely is not the way the press would spin it if certain specific people were listed for any reason.

[corbe]

   This whole thing is BS. 

   Either you got to believe Trump and his Administration stepped on their collective Dick again or they really are that stupid. This is obviously the last thing he wants US talking about right now, his angry tweet proved that last night.   

   I'm going with Theory #3; another squirrel to keep MAGA focused.

[Sighlass]

So basically IMHO, it is more than probable that Trump is one that flew to the island and partook in underage fruits and enough high ranking democrats did the same and have decided to make it a "if I go down, you go down" scenario.  And those of us that stood on electing a moral candidate were stomped to the curb with "this is what we need at this time" and pointing out that it meant having a candidate that was easy to control due to it was dismissed.  We eroded our own moral high ground.

There was wisdom to my tagline... after all.

[Stevensr123]

I’m sure everyone on here has seen the Fox News clip before.

Will you release the JFK files: Yes

Will you release the MLK files: Yes

Will you release the Epstein file: Hmmm that one is tricky because innocent people might be named.

The difference between the first two is they have waited until pretty much everyone involved has died. The same thing will be done with the Epstein stuff.

I think your point is entirely correct, I think its completely probable Epstein was a CIA/mossad plant to get dirt on billionaires and keep money flowing into the USA.

We don’t even know much about Epstein, how he got his money, financial audits, who financed him etc all of it remains hidden and all we have is speculation. The fact we don’t even know the ‘little” details, basically confirms to be there is something greater involved.

I personally think he killed himself, but i think he killed himself because if he didn’t Maxwell would have been killed.

What interests me about trumps latest post is:

1. Not denying that the Epstein files exists (whereas Axios article / Bondi has suggested that there are none)
2. Compares it to Russia Gate. Which to me is a red flag that the Epstein files implicate him.
