Random Epstein Files Thoughts

[Res Ipsa]

1. A lot of the wealthiest and most powerful people appear to either be borderline illiterate, or they allow their emails to be composed by the nearest rodent.
2. I had always assumed Trump’s destruction of the economy each time he’s been President was due to incompetence. The emails make it appear that his incompetence is being exploited, and that the destruction is more intentional with its primary purposes being the destruction of American democracy and exceptionalism, and to further consolidate power and wealth amongst a group of elite international pedophiles.
3. Republicans are easily recruited to help destroy America for the benefit of wealthy pedophiles, and are all to happy to defend raping children as long as it's done by someone they think is on their team.
4. I can’t for the life of me figure out who exactly works for who amongst the pedophile cabal. It’s like a weird web of CIA, Mossad, Russian intelligence, and billionaires. It’s also hard to tell if sexual predation is a recruitment/blackmail tool, or if the power brokering is primarily to protect the hedonism.
5. Actual evil is, in many ways, incredibly banal.

I'm still waiting to hear your response on why the Biden administration didn't press criminal charges upon Donald Trump if such damning evidence against him existed in the Epstein files. That goes for DocCam as well. Why resort to the mental gymnastics required by the Alvin Bragg case if you had this?

The problem is that you’ve been duped into thinking that the way the weaponized Trump DOJ operates (show me the man and I’ll find the crime) is the way the Biden DOJ operated. The Biden DOJ, like DOJs before it, investigated evidence of crimes — not people on an enemies list.

Epstein’s criminal enterprise is orders of magnitude more complicated than any of the cases brought against Trump. The relevant facts occurred over decades, with many decades in the past. It also was prosecuted backwards from the standard criminal enterprise case, which starts with little fish, getting them to flip and then chasing bigger and bigger fish. Here, the big fish was prosecuted first. And he got a weird sweetheart deal that I’m guessing has more to do with corruption in Florida than anything else.

After Epstein died, prosecutors turned to Maxwell. My guess is they hoped she would flip on any other co-conspirators. She hasn’t yet, and her credibility is so short that I doubt she would be much of a witness. Unless she knows of a stash of documents or recordings that law enforcement is unaware of, I doubt she has much value to anyone interested in investigating and prosecuting crimes.

After Maxwell was convicted, the FBI and DOJ turned to investigating potential co-conspirators. That investigation was pending in the SDNY when Trump took office last January, and it was shut down shortly thereafter.

There are two intermingled parts to Epstein’s operation: trafficking and money laundering. Co-conspirators would be people helping with the business operations of those two parts. Federal criminal law may not apply to all criminal aspects of the operation. For example, having sex with a minor is a state crime, but is not necessarily a federal crime. The feds investigate and charge violations of federal laws.

As for Trump, there isn’t much evidence so far that he was involved in the criminal enterprise itself. His saving grace is that he doesn’t use e-mail. So there’s not much documentation of his relationship with Epstein. So, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Trump was not identified as a potential co-conspirator by the Biden DOJ. That doesn’t mean he didn’t violate state sex crime laws. And the investigation in Florida was shut down after Epstein got his sweetheart plea deal in Florida.

So, given the difference in complexity, it is perfectly understandable why no charges were brought against Trump (or any Co-conspirator) during the Biden presidency. But only if you haven’t been brainwashed into a jaundiced view of how government actually worked before last January.

Maxwell isn't going to flip. She's over there taking the 5th like it's her job. Even if given immunity, there's no guarantee she'll flip. She obviously has no scruples to start with. She could get up there and lie her rotted ass off in favor of Trump and facilitate a two-fer. So there is that.

Democrats didn’t seem to be putting in the same efforts years ago as they are now, but there were still attempts to release information. Harris claims that the Biden Administration had no desire to pressure the DoJ with what would appear as a vendetta

I call BS on that. They had multiple vendetta and election interference cases that they shamelessly pursued against DJT.

There don’t appear to be any cases that weren’t based on very valid concerns or behaviors.

Even the smallest half truth in the Epstein files would have been more salacious than any of the election interference cases they pursued.

We’ve already seen the verdict in Trump’s sexual abuse case, and that doesn’t seem to have disturbed you. It just made your suppport more firm, you’ve said. Progressively more salacious = progressively increasing support, right?

I’m not buying that anything at any level of salaciousness is a concern to you.

With the files being brought out more and more (illegally redacted), I will be more than interested in seeing how our local anti-progressive Trumpers try to defend all their heroes in office...... it is seriously disheartening to see all this absolute wicked horror in our own country that is being systematically dismantled by addle brained idiots in power.

If you're expecting them to have shame, or do anything other than double down / obfuscate, you'll be disappointed. They have sold their soul, and they'd rather watch the entirety of American democracy burn than ever admit they've made a mistake.

But only if you haven’t been brainwashed into a jaundiced view of how government actually worked before last January.

Biden put plenty of pressure on the DOJ to help his son Hunter's case. At the time the excuse was, "What father wouldn't do the same." So no I'll never agree with you that everything I learned about the Biden administration and how they interacted with the Garland's DOJ was a conservative partisan lie as you're trying to claim now. But I think I now have a better understanding of how this works in the mind of leftists, so thanks for your explanation.

Democrats [...] had multiple vendetta and election interference cases that they shamelessly pursued against DJT.

What? Election interference cases pursued against Trump?

I recall a notable number of cases being launched by Trump's people against various electoral authorities claiming that the election he lost was rigged in various ways. I also recall all those cases being thrown out of court, sometimes with complaints of time-wasting, by a set of judges appointed under a range of Presidents, including Trump himself.

Not if it's the current hoax being pedaled by the mainstream media, it's not.

- No evidence Biden directed DOJ action.

- Prosecutor was a Trump appointee.

- Case proceeded anyway. Hunter Biden was investigated for years. Nada except for a gun charge.

You’re a myopic retard.

More straight up lies from you. There is no evidence that Joe Biden pressured the DOJ with respect to Hunter's case. In fact, it was the Republicans in Congress that pressured the DOJ and interfered with the prosecution of the case. The quote you cited had nothing to do with DOJ pressure -- it had to do with the pardon.

Nothing I've said has anything to do with being a leftist. It has to do with doing one's best to understand the truth -- something you've proved to us over and over that you have no interest in.
