    Summary for context:

    Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant said she personally arranged multiple phone calls between the disgraced pedophile financier and Donald Trump in the years before he became president.

      the disgraced pedophile financier and Donald Trump

      They’re gonna need to clarify better. That’s like saying, “the bin full of garbage, and the trash can.”

      Um, to tell him to stooooooop it. He’s already said that.🙄

      Genuinely unsure if I remember him saying he told him to stop and was the “one to turn him in,” or if the substances I am using to cope with reality have finally warped it enough for me to remember days like shitty episodes from my favorite show.

      Is the fact that they had phone conversations supposed to be damning somehow?

          It’s well known they were close friends, so what does Epstein’s PA arranging telephone calls between them add to the conversation?

          Yes they were both sick and evil and should be jailed but I’m not sure what this furthers to achieve that.

            Something trump keeps lying about. I don’t really follow why proof he’s lying is supposed to be insignificant.

              Yes he’s lying, yes he’s denying and yes he’s refusing to release the rest of the Epstein files and despite his name appearing ten times more often than anyone else’s his administration aren’t going to arrest or interrogate anyone in those files because the Epstein network runs the US, they are the administration, they aren’t going to incriminate themselves. They raped terrified little American girls again and again and again and they are going to get away with it because the American justice system favours the rich.
