Trump has done such things. The only question is why.
Aside from his addiction to Twitter, Trump strikes me as an old-school mob boss. He’d rather have a sit-down than use the phone or any other technology for talking “business.”
Agent Orange Ass-clown has met with Putin in secret meetings with the world watching and then joked about Russia interference in US elections surrounded by reporters.
You think he’s beyond setting up a meeting with Epstein just to check if the child trafficker destroyed that video like he promised he would?
So there’s this right wing meme I’ve been seeing on Twitter
Don’t click the link if you are susceptible to the crazy. It’s a link of names out of Epstein’s address book. Selectively Democrats and show biz types. Bill Clinton is at the top.
But something seemed wrong. I went back to the address book. Bill Clinton is NOT listed. Nor is Hillary. Not even a short listing. There is a listing for the White House but it’s two lines and seems to consist of the general information phone number and the address,
I guess they weren’t THAT close.
What political party are the four (out of something like forty) people who said that he did it?
Of course, the media should be asking, “What are the odds that a man with three provable pedophile associates and two other probables would also be accused, independently, of ogling naked tweens?”
You can’t just report stuff in isolation. If you just mention that Trump flew on a plane with Epstein once and you don’t also mention Epstein and Nader and Arif and Miss Teen USA, then you’re just not doing your job as a reporter. People aren’t going to remember this stuff on their own. You have to tie it together.
LOL, the vaunted Secret Service allowed Trump to meet, alone, with Russians in the Oval Office.
The idea that the Secret Service wouldn’t “allow” these meetings… when the Director serves at the pleasure of the sitting President… is preposterous. And how many Directors have the SS had under Trump? Four, in two years.
And given that the Secret Service was a hot mess under Obama, I cannot imagine that they’ve gotten better under the Trumpster Fire.
Trump doesn’t email and he doesn’t say anything over the phone that can’t be said on TV. He only has discussions of import in private and in person.
Actually, they met in the basement of a Parisian pizza place. You can google map it: there’s like three within 49 minutes of that runway. Coincidence? Hmmmm
Oh, so Trump said it. In that case it’s probably just fake news, you can’t believe anything that guys says.
You’re ignoring the difference between Clinton and Trump – about 50 IQ points.
Trump brags to Howard Stern that he get to look at nude underage girls. Makes a point to say that no other men are there. Well of course not, a man would not do that.
He can explain meeting with Putin. The president is expected to meet with foreign leaders. I don’t know how he would explain a meeting with Epstein if it were found out, and it would be found out.
My point was not “allowing”, it was that Secret Service agents would know about it, and Trump would not be dumb enough to let anyone know he was meeting with Epstein. It would be too risky that the info would be leaked.
Maybe you’re joking, or not, I don’t know. But I am not ignoring anything. It is preposterous that Trump would be so stupid as to meet with a known sex offender that he has ties with and is known to have been social with, that he presumably has no good explanation for if it were found out, half way around the world in the middle of a conference that has most if not all of the world’s biggest leaders in attendance, on a trip that would have been planned months in advance, and where the president’s time would have been laid out to the second.
Utterly preposterous. How many people would have to have been in on this? Too many to hide it, that’s how many.
I commend you for your anti-conspiracy instincts, and it is probably more likely that he only met with Barrack and that Epstein’s presence in Paris was happenstance. That said, though, you are basically describing exactly the sort of thing that the Secret Service is famous for. They specialize in sneaking people in and out of the White House, hotels, or wherever it is the President usually would be, to go meet with a mistress, party with some prostitutes, purchase some heroin, or whatever it might be, and ensure that no one beyond the agents involved are ever aware of that event and none of them will ever spill those beans.
Using the example of a mistress, certainly Trump has taken off time to go meet with a few of his special ladies while in office, having the secret service spirit him across whatever city he’s in to whatever her hotel room might be, without anyone - not hotel staff, not nobody - being aware that it was happening; no reporting in the press, no rumors that it’s going on.
I don’t know how they accomplish that but, as said, it is the sort of thing that the Special Service has had over a century figuring out how to pull off and they genuinely do seem to be amazing at it.
If Trump’s sex life is completely under wrap, it’s fair to say that he could figure out how to get into the same room as two men with powerful connections to hold a clandestine meeting.
There’s no question that he’s met with George Nader. Epstein is worse but, so far as a Secret Service agent is concerned, working with shady figures that have funky connections to other foreign leaders, operate as CIA sources, etc. is not uncommon. Maybe one of them would break and leak rumor if Trump tried diddling an 8 year old right in front of them but, so far as I understand what they do, setting up a meeting between the President and an unsavory figure and doing it in a way where there’s no hint of that event having ever occurred is exactly their task and they’re very good at it.
By no means is that evidence that Trump has met with Epstein. But I don’t think that your objection is a real one.
Trump’s time isn’t laid out to the second. He’s a spoiled lazy toddler. He spends six hours a day watching FOXNews.
Not that I’m thinking it happened, but I’m pretty sure they schedule like an hour or two a day of actual work.
The affair has hit an unexpected target of opportunity: former Israeli Prime Minister (and Bibi Netanyahu’s nemesis)Ehud Barak, who’s in the middle of an attempted political comeback. Israeli media is in an uproar.
Strange days indeed.
I’d vote that Israel should try looking for an option 3.
You don’t have to convince me.
After 5 minutes of Googling, I’ll throw my hat in for Abraham Neyman. Give the guy a background check and if he passes a corruption sniff, give it to him.
