By all account there was a serious falling out between the two about 8 or so years ago, that's not up for debate. My main gripe is that Trump was friends with Epstein for at least 20 years before. He clearly knew what was going on and did nothing. Maybe Epstein pushed it too far or stepped on Trump's toes by acting up at Mar-a-Lago too many times. We know he had picked up underage girls at Mar-a-Lago before, maybe Trump had enough. Trump was clearly friendly with him until he got arrested and Epstein being a predator was more public knowledge. For me though if you know someone is this sick of a fuck and you do nothing, it's just gross and I immediately call guilty. Could Trump really not know..... yes it's possibility. But Trump is a bright guy and was close with Epstein for years and years, it just doesn't seem like there is much of a chance.
Then there is Acosta. A US attorney who let Epstein off somehow gets appointed to secretary of labor and was a candidate to take over for Sessions. Knowing Trump he 100% knew Acosta letting Epstein off. I can't for the life of me understand why he would appoint someone involved with Epstein, of course he would have to resign when it came out that he let him off. Trump has the power to investigate this CIA linkage to Epstein but nothing has come out, he's dead and is not longer covered by a classified status. Would be a no brainer to link him to intelligence, especially with Trump's warring with the CIA, it would prove his point that the CIA is crooked (we all agree anyway but it would be real tangible proof).
Malpass is just slime, The World Bank is slime, Malpass had massive connections to Epstein and Trump. Ironically no one understands why Epstein even had any money, he was literally handed money for nothing tangible. It was all blackmail and extortion, if someone was involved with business with Epstein that should be a major red flag. Trump had to be know about all these connections too.
They are all just too interconnected in the same circle for me to be comfortable on any level about it.
