Texas Flood related: the podcast Legal AF discusses Leonard Leo, the Koch brothers, ALEC and climate change.
Texas had a tragedy because Epstein helped get Trump elected, Epstein is the everything scandal for Trump.
Steve Bannon said so in 2017 at the first Trump inauguration. The flip side of “you were the only person we feared in the election” is thanks for your silence, you shall be rewarded in the Trump administration.
Why wasn’t Epstein arrested until 2019? Was Epstein’s friendship with Bannon the reason Trump became a Republican? Why wasn’t Epstein arrested in 2017 if Steve Bannon knows what he claims to know from 2016? Is Steve Bannon on the list?
My diary last night was about the “Golden shower” tapes from 2016. The title was a pun. I write my own stand up comedy jokes, so I could see how the actual kompromat of Epstein/Trump information could be a game of telephone. Epstein could become E-pee-stein by a non English speaker or person with a speech impediment. Then people joke about the Epstein Tapes as being the “Pee Tapes” and that becomes a golden shower code back inside the kompromat.
Did Epstein flip Trump from registered Democrat to registered Republican as Epstein became a registered sex offender? I can’t stop wondering why Trump would randomly bring up the Steele Dossier and send Tulsi Gabbard on a weird decoy mission. Trump isn’t a smart person, he isn’t well known for his object permanence skills. He hasn’t mentioned the 2016 Russia stuff in years, why now? Why bring it up now after Pam Bondi told him what was inside the Epstein files?
Epstein was tied to the Tower Ponzi scheme in the 80s in Texas, what big oil executives went to Epstein island? Trump begged for oil money in 2024, did he know oil executives from Epstein island?
Instead of just wondering what or who is on the list, I’m viewing this as a Sherlock Holmes case, basic facts:
Roughly 1000 FBI agents looked through the files. 1000+ victims of Epstein and Maxwell according to Pam Bondi. Each victim has at least one John Doe.
I say Sherlock Holmes because I’m not really looking at the individual pieces, just the big picture, just the moving parts. Qui Bono? Who benefits from the list not being released? Those numbers of eyes on the case files and the lives of experience of trauma mean thousands and thousands of friends and loved ones who had known about Epstein and Trump for years. Suffering in silence.
Big picture? If I was an FBI agent who saw the files and had a friend or family member commit suicide as the result experiencing sexual abuse and trauma; there is nothing that would stop me from getting justice…..it would be the defining cause of my lifetime from that moment forward.
Family members of other people on the Epstein list still live in fear. They have powerful family members and histories of addiction or mental health issues that can be used as new weapons to open old wounds.
Trump was creepy with his own children, I’m certain people on the Epstein client list had creepy interactions with the friends of their own children. Once billionaires and international oligarchs are tied to the Epstein island files, their family members still suffering will also be freed. That will take a while to cascade as people in those families get the courage to speak out more and more.
The Epstein-Wall Street Billionaires aren’t just afraid of Trump, they are afraid of people inside their family or business circle giving the second confirmation to a story and making it widely reportable.
So I end by re-phrasing my title, is the Epstein Deep State network actually just plain old Wall Street corruption? A new name for the old boys club?
Is the Grand Old Party now the Gross Old-man Party? Their leader is a 79 year old abuser who writes creepy birthday cards.
