I saw that comment as well. Complete fantasy in my view. Bill is not the type to “fall on his sword.” He’ll do what’s best for Bill. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > Complete fantasy in my view. Bill is not the type to “fall on his sword.” He’ll do what’s best for Bill. I absolutely agree. **But** it would be fucking epic. Can you imagine the moment when he says, with that twinkle in his eye, “You want to know what was going on? I’ll tell you…” But I have to agree that it ain’t going to happen. Bill will likely provide cover for all of the wealthy and powerful that met with Epstein: “He was very well connected, and so I did meet with him so I could connect to his contacts to benefit my foundation.” Bill will say he took rides on Epstein’s plane. He _might_ cop to getting a back rub from some nameless girl. But I just can’t see Bill Clinton admitting to anything else. And I can’t imagine what they expect Hillary to add at all. ---

So “the email address will reveal her name” might be better phrased as “the email address would reveal her name if it were shown.” OR, it would reveal Donald Trump’s name. We can’t discern if that redaction is protecting a “her” name or a “him” name. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > > “It bothers me that someone is going after Bill Clinton,” Trump said. “See, I like Bill Clinton.” I wonder if Trump is being disingenuous as usual, or this is another situation where he tried to tell Republicans what to do with the Epstein files and is getting pushback. I think it has to be the former, because they are going after the Clintons specifically, singling them out, and don’t seem to be going after anyone else. This feels like a typical situation where Trump likes to harass people legally by “investigating” them. ---

I highly doubt any person of any true importance or culpability will be tried or convicted for anything they allegedly did with Epstein. That simply isn’t how the system works. The elite routinely get away with atrocities, abuses and horrors on a scope and scale that makes anything Epstein did look tame. Why would this suddenly be the straw that breaks the camel’s back? If they can turn whole regions into charnel houses, turn whole nations into slave labor camps, sponsor death squads and torture in dozens of countries, cow any leader that can’t be made into a puppet, hoard enough wealth and resources to give every person in the world a good life twice over and shove civilization deeper into the thresher of climate change and resource depletion for the sake of adding more zeros to already ridiculously large bank accounts, it’s highly unlikely that sex with minors will be what finally brings them to justice. I wish it weren’t true but that’s the nightmare world we live in. Anyone fantasizing otherwise has seen too many Disney films and too much Hunger Games. ---
