"Our government seems to believe the American people are stupid when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Not naïve or confused — stupid, as if we can’t put together basic timelines, read plea agreements, or notice when a serial sex trafficker keeps skating through consequences that would flatten anyone else."

The Real Reason Epstein Was Untouchable

Our government seems to believe the American people are stupid when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

Salty Politics with Julie Roginsky

"Let’s drop the fairy tale. Epstein was not spared from accountability for decades by accident. He was spared by choice."

"We all know - thanks to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, that Trump trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell through his spa at Mar-a-Lago, so it stands to reason that Trump would traffic girls through his modeling agency."

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Epstein Files Tipster Tells Me About Her Friend Being Trafficked to Epstein Through Trump Modeling Agency

One of the tipsters released in the Epstein documents this week reached out to me. She sat for a formal FBI interview, but her 302 wasn't released pursuant to the Transparency Act.

The Breakdown

"A few days ago, in the newly released batch of Epstein files, we got a look at a report of FBI tip line summaries. Most of us have seen these documents because they were quickly taken down by the Department of Justice, only to be reposted in the portal later.

The person who reported her friend being trafficked through the Trump modeling agency reached out to me, and I show you what she had to say in the latest episode of The Breakdown."

LIVE: Epstein Files Tipster IDENTIFIES MISSING DOCS!!!

"The Epstein case is for all these reasons not a footnote to this moment but an emblem of it. Epstein and a circle of rich men indulged themselves in violation of the law and decency at the expense of over 1000 women, and not only expected to get away with it…they have gotten away with it."

"The Epstein files offer America the opposite of closure. They are the latest widening of a scandal that has become a leitmotif of our time — not only because half the material remains unreleased. ...

How can you throw the bums out when they span the system? By that measure, Donald Trump is a short-term beneficiary of the latest 3mn or so page release."

"Newly released emails and travel itineraries appear to show that for years after Jeffrey Epstein served time for procuring underage girls for prostitution, he continued to attend exclusive dinners alongside Silicon Valley’s most famous billionaires."

‘The smart, the rich, the powerful’: Epstein associated with Silicon Valley elite years after his release from prison

Billionaires and intellectuals attended events with the disgraced financier years after he served time for sex offense, files reveal

The Guardian

"The emails, part of a trove released by the Department of Justice on Friday, show that as late as 2018, Epstein was invited to or attended dinners alongside the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Google vice-president and later Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer."

"Knowing what we know now, it’s interesting to go back and listen to what Donald Trump loyalists (though not Donald Trump himself!) were saying about the Epstein files before the election.

Here’s Elon Musk, who would go on to serve for several weeks as Trump’s informal co-president and wrecker, telling Tucker Carlson," (continued in /13)

Rethinking Trump 2024 As An Epstein Coverup Campaign

They knew they were in there. It wasn't projection. It was misdirection.

Off Message

(continued from /12)

“'I think part of why Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is going to become public.' …

And of course, Trump’s on-again/off-again consigliere Steve Bannon fanned right-wing, QAnon-style lies about pedophilia rings linked to the Democratic Party."

"If you knew nothing else about the Epstein scandal, and were told this story chronologically—at least as it stood at this time last week—you might mistake these assertions for righteous crusading….

Now we know this wasn’t just lazy partisanship. Some of the people who led the charge for Epstein transparency knew they were inculpated in the Epstein files."

"Their behavior—support Trump on an Epstein Files transparency pledge, then stand pat as Trump attempts a brazen Epstein coverup—makes most sense if they wanted Trump to win because they thought he’d be able to keep the truth about them buried forever."

"The irony should not be lost on Americans that the MAGA movement and its QAnon cousins made the hunt for pedophiles their obsession. It turns out that those concerned about child sexual predators should have staked out Jeffrey Epstein’s island…not a D.C. pizza restaurant."

Who is Hurting Kids?

MAGA is the menace

The Contrarian

"The list of those associated with pedophile and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein from the released files reads like a who’s who of the MAGA/oligarch class."

Rubin points to the ways in which the Trump regime is hurting children: measles outbreak as RFKJr rolls back vaccine recommendations; cuts to SNAP and Medicaid; destroying USAID; snatching and deporting children, using them as bait, etc...

#Epstein #Trump #MAGA #EconomicElites #pedophiles
/17

"Academics and pundits spend too much time quibbling over whether the Trump regime is 'authoritarian' or 'fascist.' What is not debatable: a regime that abuses, terrorizes, and neglects children — and engages in a cover-up of monstrous sex crimes against kids — is evil. Anyone who has participated in or enabled these unforgivable actions should be banished from public life."

#Epstein #Trump #MAGA #EconomicElites #pedophiles
/18

"The narrative seems to be this: Nothing more to see there. Simply normalize evil and go on with your life. In the words of the President, 'It was all a hoax.'

But there is plenty to see in the newest batch of Epstein files, and it’s rotten to the core. None of us should 'just move on.' Silence is a form of passive complicity. For the sake of our own souls, we should refuse to just move on."

"The communications we have already seen show coordination between powerful figures, influence operations targeting foreign governments, and a network of oligarchs operating with impunity while engaging in horrific crimes. When Trump says it is time to 'turn the page,' the answer is no."

@wdlindsy Since we're always trying to economize on words when posting, may I suggest that in the last line you omit the word "public."
@sheilasmall Since this is a quotation by Jennifer Rubin (see /16), I can't do that, though I do take your good point.

@wdlindsy

Irony is that "pizzas" and "burgers" deliveries are all over the Epstein emails recently published...

Qanon took it "literally" instead of a code for the kind of trafficked children 😕

@wdlindsy

I'm so sick of paywalls. FT is a piece of shit.

@darwinwoodka I'm sick of paywalls, too. The link opened for me initially, as a gift link from some posting I can't recall, but then when I tried it again, I found it wouldn't open. I do see it can be accessed beyond the paywall here — for now at least:

https://archive.ph/bIbQO

@wdlindsy

danke! I tried archive on the other link but it wouldn't work for me.

@wdlindsy We think “Epstein, bad guy” but when we picture him, he should be standing in a large class photo of wealthy pedophiles all comrades, some famous, well respected, in the pursuit of having sex the way they want it enabled by their wealth. So the caustic effect of vast wealth in combination with lack of accountability and corruption enables the worst in many of us.
Sure, Epstein paid, but look who got away (so far). 🤔
@wdlindsy I hate saying this but the scandal should’ve been the tsunami of all tsunami’s that shook us to our core, tore the system up! And while we still might get there, you must recognize the powers over us that for the “common good” actually the “elite good” have ongoing been stonewalling accountability on behalf of the wealthy. Then ask or at least recognize where that leaves us average citizens, we’re their bitches, worse their sheep to be sheared. Then get a little angry.
