Thiel is, of course, Vice President JD Vance’s principal financer and pal.
Elon Musk was a large donor to Trump and special appointee to reform the government.
Steve Bannon was President Trump’s advisor, charged by the Bill Barr for defrauding MAGAs, and then pardoned by the President without any apparent contrition.
From what I’ve heard the MAGA hope seems to be the files will have details of Bill Clinton running amok with young girls on Epstein Island. They of course expect no information implicating their Dear Leader. In their wildest fantasies they believe there will be sex crimes committed by Obama as well.
Obama would really surprise me, even the most tangential mention.
I would be relieved if there is no Bill Clinton in there.
I voted for that guy twice. (Different elections, Republicans! When there was no Epstein talk.)
But “getting Bill Clinton” is not exactly the younger right-wingers’ first priority. They don’t even remember him.
The older MAGA folks would get a kick out of it, of course.
Of more concern to Trump and his enablers is the list of rich GOP guys who aren’t really in the public eye, but who will NOT be happy if their names come out. Their unhappiness could manifest itself in ways that could inconvenience Donald et al.
An example: John Paulson. Not famous, but he gave a TON of cash to Donald:
Like I posted about Trump, years ago, you look at some 13-14 year old girls, their bodies developed to full maturity, precosciously. It’s not the norm, but it does happen. Knowing that a guy prefers ladies of apparent adulthood is not too much protection when looking at guys with sex addiction and a sense that they’re above the law or otherwise stymie it. If a girl looks like an adult, they might not ask too many questions and someone smart and unprincipled might take advantage of it.
So when we see things like Trump visiting Moscow and people sending girls to his room, you really need to question what choices he might have made. Or, likewise, with Clinton visiting Epstein and Trump socializing with Epstein.
If someone does have proof of something, trusting that it will just come out on its own, and not be held securely in a place only known by one powerful and patient person, is foolhardy. That’s not evidence that there is such a thing, but you do need to do more digging than assuming that Comey is or was a Republican hack, willing to invent accusations against the Clintons. And likewise, the Republicans should have noted that Trump’s friends were being sentenced and jailed by his own appointees.
Yeah, but there’s the legal factor and then there’s the public sentiment factor.
There might be little legal difference between getting a handjob during a massage from a fully developed 17 year old, and asking a flat chested 13 year old girl to put on baby diapers and having full penetrative sex with her. The public is liable to view those differently.
I’m not sure of the statute of limitations - I’d expect that it varies by state - but I’d generally presume that political damage is the greater threat than criminal.
