Oh, he’s probably been very helpful – pointing at everyone else with all fingers.

Honestly, the only person who might surprise me, would be if Lindsay Graham was part of this, but that’s for reasons which do NOT ascribe a good moral character to the fascist weasel.

One of the things people forget in the fog of his bad behaviors is that a 13-year-old accused Trump of raping her at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion:
During the 2016 presidential campaign, an unidentified young woman filed a suit against Trump in which she alleged that he raped her when she was 13 at a party at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse in Manhattan. Trump denied the claims and the woman later dropped the suit because, her lawyer said, she was intimidated by death threats. The Trump camp described her allegations as “untrue.”

It will be interesting if that turns into something once it has the weight of the SDNY prosecutors behind it.

Shall we start a pool on when Acosta will be forced to resign to “spend time with his family”?

I have never forgotten this. But why it never became a bigger issue and why so many others ignored it, I have never understood. Her accusation is credible. There was a witness.

I’ve always assumed she was paid off and signed an NDA. We know he loves them.

I was just looking at the plane logs. Bill Clinton got some 'splaining/covering up to do.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing him go down in flames after how all the women he molested got screwed over. Do I miss him as a president, yes? Do I think he hurts women? yes.

Anyway, it’s irresponsible to judge the Donald from what he may have done before the angel Gabriel possessed him…

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Mr Trump was quoted as saying in the New York Magazine profile. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

It appears he’s decided to lie about it and see if he can get away with it. Yeah, because that worked out so well for him last time?
In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation," the statement said. "Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.
(Quote is from Fox News)
But the plane logs clearly indicate that he also traveled with Epstein, his young female procurers, and some unnamed individuals from Miami to Westchester on the Lolita Express in 2002.
Better watch out Bill, if you lie to the feds now, nothing will prevent them from putting you in the bracelets and doing a nice perp walk for the cameras.

Interesting thought, though (also applies to 45): where do you imprison a former president that also accommodates their secret service protection detail, without punishing the protection detail?
I am thinking house arrest, and not in the house of his choice. Modest apartment, like what normal people get. And like normal people, he has to pay the costs for electronic monitoring.
Much as I would like to say “why does he get protection?” it really may come down to national security. Donnie may be unable to remember what he ate for breakfast, Bill is not so incapacitated. And it would be painful for either one to have to live like a normal person.

That is a lovely question. We’re blazing new territory here. But even before that… how do you arrest a president who has government-provided guards to prevent you from messing with him?
Let’s find out!
