> Which President flew on Epstein’s private plane 26 times? Oh yeah Bill Clinton, inconvenient truth is that the guy was a huge democrat donor till around 2004 and then started donating more to republicans, why the need to politicize the issue? The guy is a sick fuck and people on both sides took his money, and hung out with him.

Only the republican side, in the form of DA Alexander Acosta, Trump’s future Labor secretary, went on to write Epstein a sweetheart deal that got his charges handwaved away. Only the republican side went on to reward that cooperative DA with a cabinet position. Only the republican side, in the form of our current federal prosecutors, are still arguing that Epstein’s original deal should stand even if they broke the law the in implementing it.

As for Bill Clinton - as far as I can tell, no one’s accused him of doing anything but catching a free plane ride (unlike Epstein, Donald Trump and Alan Dershowitz, who’ve all been accused of rape, directly by name.)

But hey, if anyone does accuse Bill Clinton directly, then I hope they throw the book at him. Only the republican side seems to think that mentioning Bill Clinton will give normal people second thoughts about pursuing real charges versus Jeffrey Epstein.
