Release from Epstein files

[Servus]

Biden didn't run on releasing anything Epstein. Trump did. So did his head and second in command at the FBI.

Show where Trump ran on releasing the Epstein files. It must be a proclamation he made during his campaign rallies the way you're putting it, so where is it?

That is totally false. Trump et al knew exactly what the meeting was about. The email to Don Jr to set up the meeting:

June 3rd email to Trump Jr., Goldstone wrote:



Trump Jr. responded:



There is NO mention of Russian sanctions. Just the potential dirt on Hillary.
Stop winging it.
Stop making it up as you go.

You can have a spirited debate without being pugnacious.

In June 2016, Donald Trump Jr. and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort met at Trump Tower with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Jared Kushner also attended the meeting. The meeting was set up via email exchange after Trump Jr. was promised that Veselnitskaya could provide damaging information on Hillary Clinton as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump"

The promised "dirt" on Clinton never materialized, and the conversation primarily revolved around U.S. sanctions against Russia (the Magnitsky Act) and the Russian government's retaliatory ban on American adoptions of Russian children. The Trump team members later testified that they were quickly disappointed and found the information vague or nonsensical.

There's no reason for anyone to make up what's already written.

Wow they went into this meeting for the purpose of availing themselves of Russian govt support for their campaign!

Okay, e, let's review. Paul Manafort did in fact admit to working with Russians given the Trump campaign. Trump's inner circle did in fact meet at Trump To

Yes. That's all documented.

Yep it was big drama nearly ten years ago, and has nothing to do with the Epstein files.

I was responding to what you quoted. Did you put it in the wrong thread?

No way back on the first page I made a silly throw away quip: "Epsteingate, from the people who brought you Russiagate". The rest is off topic derail history.

It's a good thing I didn't make a remark about the Epstein files and Dinty Moore, because then half of this thread would be a discussion about beef stew.

False implications about very important things like the Trump campaign / Russia investigations really should be challenged.

If otoh you had falsely claimed Dinty Moore is healthy and delicious, I probably would have let that slide.

I have seen Republicans take all manner of strategy to deal with this upcoming release.
So far I'm preferring this "there's probably nothing" strategy I'm seeing here to the other "raping teenagers isn't that big a deal" that is bubbling up on podcasts and commentaries

That feels like a losing strategy to me....

I couldn't believe anyone would argue that because the girls being molested were in their early teens, it's not that big a deal. But there it is.

That is a notice by the FBI under the admin who is doing everything they can to keep things from the public. Take with one two grains of salt.

That memo was just a short while ago. Now they are investigating people. If they bring a case against anyone it will probably be deemed malicious as it was ordered on social media by the president and given a response that they are following said orders.

I don't think any of the victims have accused Clinton though.

Apparently, a phrase in the emails has led to a truly filthy story about Trump and Bill Clinton together. But Clinton has denied it. And he surely wouldn't lie about something like that.

Epsteins brother said it wasn't Clinton, but didn't say who it was. Other people have said it was a donor with the nickname Bubba.

Edit:
He implied it was a personal joke.

Don't believe it. Clinton may be a slimeball, but even he has limits.
