1. That tie-in was already in the media

I had not followed the story and my search on him and trump brought up articles about it. I don’t know the story well enough to form an opinion on it (the Clinton flights).

I agree with her:

3. Not positive but I think the original Epstein story is the origin of the 'Clinton Pedophile Ring'

conspiracy theory ... so I think it's safe to bet that the media will be given a full court press from both Wingnuts, and Russians, trying to convince them to drag the Clinton name into this story (and of course ignore Trump's very kind words for his friend Jeffrey).

And they will oblige, cause that's what they do.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. 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.” - Donald Trump, 2002

Here are scans from Jeffrey Epstein’s phonebook. He had 16 ways to contact Trump. Melania Trump, Robert Trump, Blaine Trump, Ivana Trump and Ivanka Trump were also in it.

I'd be careful about spreading it round ... my first inclination is to say ... ummm ... no ... it's actually a terrible photoshop ...

The next few days will be a full-court press on the MSM re:
1) Who he's 'linked to'
2) Who he's donated to, politically
3) Is he 'Registered Dem' or 'Registered Repug'?

And all sorts of other analysis on the subject.

And I'm sorry if I happen to be aware that the wingnuts have been furiously trying to link Epstein to Clinton for YEARS , and thought it important to bring up now.

If it wasn't me, it'd be someone, because a shitstorm is coming.

Fake pics to come out to discredit the real pics.

Twitter is already playing its part.

Beleive me, if the Russian Mafia is invovled, there is no way Estein will talk.

You know what, nothing will take trumpy down, his base are just too
fanatical.

We just have to hope the world isnt destroyed, while he remains president.
