Summary

Donald Trump’s name appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s recently released flight logs seven times, including flights in 1993 and 1994, some with his then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany.

The documents were released by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated this was the first phase of disclosures regarding Epstein’s network.

Bondi requested additional FBI records on Epstein, citing thousands of undisclosed pages.

Epstein, who died in 2019, had connections to Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

      For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump’s mysterious staircase death.

        Isn’t it in a book, that trump shoved her down the stairs? Or maybe I’m confusing that with when he just beat her. IDK

      I don’t know why you think that.

      It’s not like the girl who was raped by Prince Andrew was recruited by Epstein at Mar-a-Lago or anything, right?

        Epstein’s connections were as blatant as Prince Andrew’s inability to sweat—hard to ignore

    Donald Trump knew about Epstein but didn’t tell us; we had to find out for ourselves.

    The fact that nobody is saying this and none of you have considered it until reading this comment should be very telling at how deep their power runs, and how stupid we are for going along with it.

    We literally aren’t allowed to have our own thoughts. We can only think and talk about what the powers that be have deemed appropriate.

      I’m pretty sure we have all been saying that for years. Pretty much from the moment the Epstein shit blew up. I mean, they were best buds for over a decade.

        I’ve seen people mention that Trump knew about Epstein, but I’ve never seen them make the connection to him withholding that information from us for decades.

        It creates the argument that either Trump isn’t as all-seeing as his base would like to believe, or he’s part of the cabal that protects pedophiles like Epstein. We’re not allowed to look in this direction.

          I suspect most people don’t bring it up because that’s the least of what their friendship implies. And of course if Trump is a pedo, then he would definitely be protecting them.
          The real problem is that his base doesn’t care if he’s a child rapist or not. They are either jealous that he gets away with it and aspire to be like him, or they think it’s his God given right and the poor lost children he raped should be honored.

    Jeffrey Epstein is pretty much a mutually assured destruction for many powerful people. I don’t expect this to lead anywhere really.

    Well, yeah. He’s a rapist. Epstein ran the Disneyworld equivalent of rape attractions. If you’re good at football, you go to the Superbowl. If you’re good at violence, you go to prison. Trump is good at rape. Of course Trump went to Rapeworld.

    Of course he is. He has been seen and fotographed with Epstein, I think he had even called him a friend. It would be suspect if he would not appear in a number of documents in this case.

    Does it matter how many and which Republicans are named in Epstein’s records? Even if set in stone proof is available and records show pedofilic enconters with minors… Consequences do not seem to apply to the Republican party.
