As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals. pic.twitter.com/0rX8cat5Pu

"But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause."
"We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long. And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him."Said Bill Clinton, in his opening statement.

When your primary goal is fundraising for the Clinton Foundation, the $m0k3 gets in your eyes. It's hard to $33 the forest for the trees.
Epstein generated lots of $$$$$m0k3 for the moneyed class.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see" aka Eyes Wide Shut.
Guy’s good at lying, isn’t he?
“I saw nothing that ever gave me pause”. I have no doubt the Big Fella was speaking the absolute truth there. Not one damn thing! Those girls were hot, ready, and willing.
Bill Clinton feels their pain.
"But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause."
Truth be told, there isn’t much under the Sun that WOULD give Bill Clinton “pause”.
He only flew 27 times
He and his bearded clam of a wife know how this game is played, so I don’t expect much will be “recalled”.
If he'd known what epstein was doing?! He was going to parties (yeah, lets call em that) with underage girls, and barely adult girls who were being trafficked for prostitution.
He knew after his 2008 Conviction that Epstein was a pedophile. But that didn't stop his friendship with Epstein or Maxwell.
You gotta wonder what wild sex parties and Epstein visits to the white house would've occured if Hillary had been elected. Thank God Putin stopped her.
Jeffrey had his own take on Constanza's "Timeless Art of Seduction" with you in it, Billy boy.
It's 2026. Ship status: SAILED
Truer Clinton statement "As someone who committed nonstop sexual harrassment while Governor of Arkansas and has been chasing young pussy my whole life, I never would've done it if I'd known I'd get caught"
Superior exploitation was an early abortion in order to be equitable and inclusive of intersectional class-disordered ideologies.
The only thing to give him pause was the time it took the next little blue pill to take affect. Or seeing Hillary naked.
Goggles they do nothing
Trump banned Epstein in 2003.
Trump is smarter than the Clintons, Larry Summers, Noam Chomsky, and the rest of the Dem Elite
Growing up in a home of domestic abuse helped turn Clinton into a sociopath. Bill was fucking 16 year olds provided by Epstein. So was George Mitchell.
Trump banned Epstein in 2003.
Why didn't he go to law enforcement. Do you think "banning" a pedo from a country club is good enough?
Blind eye for the masculinist guy.
DD Dumbshit, sexual harassment of an 18 year old isn’t a crime. The young woman left and reported it to her manager who reported it to Trump. Employers have a duty to protect their employees from sexual harassment by customers.
Bill Clinton wasn’t astute enough to recognize the 16 year olds that Epstein pimped to him were a crime.
“None of us” Dem Sociopaths knew fucking 16 year olds on Epstein Islamd was problematic.
Neither did our cultists like DD Dumbshiy
His truth depends on what the meaning of "pedophile" is...
We had no idea that Epstein & Wei stein were predators. They didn’t rape Chelsea or Malia
D.D. Driver said...
“Trump banned Epstein in 2003.
Why didn't he go to law enforcement.”
He did. Google former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, Trump called him in July 2006.
"I did NOT have sex with that woman..."
Game's over, bill. The boomers might not remember, but we do. You've been exposed again, and hiding between your wife and little girl holding hands won't cut it.
We know who you are, and how your wife has enabled your lifestyle... Hillary no Melinda Gates, and here we are again.
"But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause."
Now, with Bill you really have to parse the meaning of such statements. You can't take him at face value. You have to divine the clear meaning.
Translation: When I was totally focused on a girl's behind, nothing ever gave me pause.
"Domestic abuse" is a vague term. Growing up with some kind of abuse might just normalize inappropriate behavior. Based on the rumors of how Hillary has treated Bill (even if you may think he deserved it), it sounds like it's been normalized for him.
Whether he accepted it as normal or avoided it, that says nothing about how he would react towards Epstein's behavior.
Did anyone ask him about the painting?
Why didn't he go to law enforcement. Do you think "banning" a pedo from a country club is good enough?
Epstein was obnoxiously hitting on a spa attendant of legal age at Mar-A-Lago, and supposedly poaching employees from the place too. There was no crime for Trump to report. When actual crimes came to light some years later, Trump was the only well-known Epstein associate who cooperated with the investigation.
Trump was a better judge of character and more morally upright than dozens of famous lefties in this whole sordid story, including both Clintons.
"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse..."
It figures, sad, but it figures. But it doesn't make the case he seems to think it does.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see" aka Eyes Wide Shut."
Speaking people who probably didn't die of natural causes.
I believe him. Bill would never lie to us.
Why didn’t Trump report Epstein to the police in 2003? Why did it take him until 2006 to talk to police? If Epstein’s behavior with underage spa employees at Mar-a-Lago caused Trump to supposedly part ways with Epstein in 2003, seems like waiting three more years to report Epstein is strange. Trump said everybody knew what Epstein was doing, yet Trump didn’t report him.
Neither Bill nor Trump are believable.
but he did fly on the plane. The records show it.
He is lying.
Inag,
Why didn’t Bill or Hillary Clinton report Epstein to the police - ever?
Why did it take him until ... oh right never to talk to police?
As a private citizen, he didn't call the cops soon enough is where we are at. Biden could have released those files, it was plainly within the powers of the President, but he didn't.
Joe Biden's own daughter and son separately accuse their dad of being a pedo, crickets. Oh, that's right Inga never voted for either Hillary or Biden or Bill. None of that matters, it was that Trump was too slow to call the police.
Maybe he felt like it was up to the young woman to call the police, and didn't want to drag her name into the public?
“Epstein was obnoxiously hitting on a spa attendant of legal age at Mar-A-Lago,”
Virginia Guiffre was 16 years old when Epstein recruited her from the spa at Mar a Lago.
Okay prescedent set Melania and trump up next for questioning right? Yeah right...not while he is in office and with the guys sickness aint betting on any longevity.The serfs down here will NEVER KNOW,,, sorry it is what it is. Feel free to continue promoting your conspiracies taht always gets interaction .Like Melania says" I DON'T REALLY CARE,DO YOU?
He did publicly acknowledge rumors. Do you call the police when you hear a rumor?
Nothing will come of this. The chicken fuckers are guarding the hen house.
"Feel free to continue promoting your conspiracies ..."
Spit my coffee on that one.
“Why didn’t Bill or Hillary Clinton report Epstein to the police - ever?”
How the hell should I know? I’m not defending the Clintons, while you're defending Trump.
No theres no reason for that, he did not whar none of the yobs did
Never stops you from spewing lies
wow - no matter how many leftists are snared with Epstein - to you cultists - all of it is Trump's fault.
"Virginia Guiffre was 16 years old"
Was Trump her father? Was it his place to drag her private trauma into the public eye? Was it his decision? Why?
Narciso talks to himself…
Inag -How do you know what was going on at Mar-a-lago and inside Trump's brain in 2003. ? You don't and liar Rachel Maddow doesn't know either.
There isnt a criminal or terrorist you dont defend
Ignorant,
Where is the evidence Trump knew Ghislaine Maxwell recruited Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago?
Clinton & Mitchell, your guys, were fucking 16 year olds on Epstein’s island. Their defense is they thought they were of age.
When did Clinton or Mitchell or any of your Progressive Heroes report Epstein or Weinstein to law enforcement.
Trump is the only one who did.
That kills you
Leftists are making shit up and even NPR is broadcasting lies and bullshit.
"even NPR is broadcasting lies and bullshit"
"Even"? For NPR, lies and bullshit are its standard fare.
…hindsight. Tee hee…

It depends on the the meaning of “saw” is.
Depends on what the meaning of “saw” is.
Trump banned Epstein from Mar a Lago, in 2003, reported him to cops in 2006, and hung him in his cell in 2019.
Trump gets shit done
After telling Juanita Broaddrick she needed to 'put some ice on it' I expect Hillbilly Lothario has a pretty high bar for what would give him pause.
Dems had these files under their control for 4 years during the Biden Administration. Why didn't they release them?
Are we to believe they didn't go through them looking for something to use against Trump when they spent those same four years trying to put him in jail on some very flimsy, creatively contrived charges?
How to explain that? It's very puzzling.
It's almost impossible to accept how craven our political elites are, but this Epstein dump is instructive. At least Machiavelli had morals. No really, he did. I would prefer a clear-eyed realist to this collection we are enduring. They hate Trump so viscerally because he is not one of them, George W Bush was, and he is OK with them, but Trump is beyond the pale, he won't jump in the cesspool and pretend it's a hot tub.
If Bill Clinton was not drawn to Epstein by his hyperactive novelty-seeking libido, what was it that Epstein provided that Clinton couldn't find in a zillion other places?
It's almost impossible to accept how craven our political elites are
It really is. It really, truly is. They have moved the pale to the back of beyond.
"even" - yeah -- I should have caught that, Jaq.
The deeper the mountain of droppings less prospect of a pony
Kingsman had a notion with the valentine cabal
In typical Democrat fashion, he starts out with a victim card, one that's 70 years old, but it's mandatory. He's still so scarred from the ordeal, he needed constant massages to deal with the pain, and the hands needed to be small and supple. He was really quite tender.
"Are we to believe they didn't go through them looking for something to use against Trump..."
I'm surprised they didn't just make something up like they are now. I read everyday, here and elsewhere how these files show Trump is a pedo with zero proof. It's repeated all over the internet day after day. Not even a photo of him out of a suit.
why are leftists ignoring the Epstein/Clinton connections in the Epstein files?
I wonder if Trump sleeps in a suit. I can't imagine him any other way, which is good.
leftists are universal lying liars who lie.
Google former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, Trump called him in July 2006.
Trump said: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea. I haven't spoken to him in many, many years."
So then why is he lying now? I have it on very good authority from Peachy that Trump is the most honest among us. Why is he lying, Meade? Derp.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2407jrn83o
Because they are told to,
That was 20 years ago, what was their excuse
"The only thing to give him pause was the time it took the next little blue pill to take affect. Or seeing Hillary naked."
That suggests an interesting experiment to test the effectiveness of Viagra under extreme conditions.
If Trump is a hero that turned Epstein in and saved kids from getting raped: why is he lying about it? Am I to believe that Trump is too modest to take credit for stuff? Is that what we are going with, Meade? LOL.
To quote Bill Clinton in his time of need with a younger intern: "Kiss it."
I'm sure he would have never have flown on his plane.
’Virginia Guiffre was 16 years old when Epstein recruited her from the spa at Mar a Lago.’
She was 20 years old in 2003.
They really are no good at this
DD Desperate.
"DD Desperate"
That really is quite good👏
Progress in social liberal club through Pro-Choice religiosity has reached the threshold of its viability. Perhaps not all is fair in lust and abortion.
DeeDee D00!
’As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse…’
I was born a poor black child.
"Am I to believe that Trump is too modest to take credit for stuff? "
Trump has mostly avoided talking about the whole subject, because he sees it as a distraction, which for him with his goals for the country and world, it is. We can try and punish people using what's in those files, but a lot of what people think is there doesn't seem to be, at least in any usable prosecutable sense. I think Trump is right that it's going to be mostly a distraction which it already is. Either way it won't hurt Trump in the way his haters hope, and it probably won't hurt many others either.
Clinton with his SGT. Schultz defense… he saw nuthink, he did nuthink.
I neither believe him nor care one way or the other. This whole Epstein brouhaha is a waste of time.
I wonder how, in retrospect, "hindsight" could be misinterpreted at the intersection of racism and sexism.
Nobody can expect this questioning of the Clintons to accomplish anything. They know as well as everybody else that nobody gets punished for lying, and there is always "I don't recall", and now they can claim they answered questions, even if they don't.
The problem is the discovery in the 70s of the high news ratings that child sexual abuse consistently gets. It drives out everything else except possibly a princess Di death or a Kennedy's plane plunging into the sea.
See Dorothy Rabinowitz "No crueler tyrannies" on the day care center prosecutions. WSJ
For Inga:
Virginia Guiffre is not the 18-year-old spa attendant who complained about harassment by Epstein, which resulted in Trump severing ties with him. That woman, as far as I know, remains anonymous. Flirting with 18 year old women and trying to seduce them is not yet a crime, although it may be someday if busybody old cat ladies like you get their way.
Giuffre may have been one of the spa employees hired away by Epstein, which Trump once described as "stolen", as business owners who paid for their employees' training and other onboarding expenses frequently do when they are poached by a competitor. I've done it myself.
Dim bulbs like you took that very common metaphor as conclusive proof that they were human traffickers engaged in buying and selling of girls, which is because you are stupid and ignorant and have only ever signed the back of a paycheck, never the front.
But poaching employees is not a reportable crime either. You lefties really have been reduced to grasping at straws, haven't you?
Bill is such a liar.
"But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause."
That's because your'e a sick twisted monster, Bill. The guy who raped Joanna Broderick, forced Paula Jones to give him a blow job, and accepted blow jobs of intern Monica Lewinsky has no moral compass, and teh idea he would have reported Epstein for screwing kids "if he only knew" is ludicrous
Photos of both Trump and Bill Clinton. Looking forward to Trumps testimony under oath.
Yesterday they ran out of questions and started asking Hillary Clinton about pizza-gate, a failed republican conspiracy theory, and aliens from outer space. Plus she totally eviscerated them with her opening statement and made them look like fools.
Pablum for the true believers
"pizza-gate, a failed republican conspiracy theory,"
Yeah, that Epstein email about ordering "pizza with grape soda" is to be taken literally. that's what this millionaire needed from Epstein, Pizza and grape soda.
Trumpists defending Trump, the guy who is protecting his pedophile billionaire buddies, despite the fact that his name appears in the Epstein files a thousands of times more than anyone else. Why isn’t this surprising? Cultists will defend their cult leader to the death. Fools.
The fact that alephantis owner of the pizzeria was involved with david brock of media matters had nothing to do with how the story was covered
Down in south florida we had the fuster case the way jsnet reno made her reputation on lies
'Recovered memories' balderdash
"david brock of media matters"
I'll bet David Brock likes "jerky". I don't know how to "interpret" jerky, and I never want to know.
I do think that kids who grew up in abusive families are less likely to notice "there's something way off about this guy" than are adults who grew up in relatively healthy environments.
It’s great that Republicans on House Oversight established a precedent for Presidents and First Ladies to be deposed about Epstein. Can’t wait until Democrats take over the committee at the end of the year.
Getting to the bottom of Epstein's ties to the Clinton's was so important to them that they were asking Secretary Clinton about Pizza-gate. The jokes write themselves at this point.
I know from Family Guy that "grape soda" is strongly associated in some circles with "black."
That "pizza-gate" theory has sure touched a nerve at Chorus, and so their paid comentariat is out in force.
Ignorant,
All the people losing their jobs over Epstein are Leftists.
Epstein & Weinstein were Leftists. Obama sent his daughter to intern with Weinstein.
Leftists are sick people.
’Virginia Guiffre was 16 years old when Epstein recruited her from the spa at Mar a Lago.’
“She was 20 years old in 2003.”
“Virginia Giuffre was 16 years old when she was recruited by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in 2000.”
Why didn’t Trump report Epstein to police in 2000 when Epstein recruited Giuffre as a 16 year old from the spa at Mar a Lago? Epstein didn’t recruit her in 2003, it was in 2000.
Inga over the past 10 years and more here has shown herself to be a true Monica.
She'll swallow anything.
John Henry
Get your minds out of the gutter!
I meant that Monica swallowed Bill Clinton's lies about how much she meant to him when all she was was an alternative to kleenex.

What was that reporter who made a very vertical promise to bulill clinton
Well, we are seeing the real reason the files were suppressed, Starmer is gonna get thrown out. A riding, as they call it, in the UK that has gone Labor for fifty years, got clobbered in a by-election. "It's just a flesh wound!" - Starmer. His approval is at about ten percent. At this rate Labor is going to be extinguished as a party, after the next couple of elections, unless they go the German route of outlawing the opposition.

Clinton needs to check his prescription. Stat.
Inga's here defending Bill and Hillary with Epstein? Not a surprise at all. She asserts, without evidence, that tens of thousands of "I hate Trump!" messages is positive proof that Trump is a secret pedophile.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman...... Bill Clinton January 26 1998"
...if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.
(cough, cough) bullshit (cough, cough)
Ninas the one
Shorter WJC: " If I Did It."
And once again, on a subject that deals with Bill Clinton certain people just can't help themselves and make it about Trump.
Get a life, losers.
There was a short poem by somebody (Dorothy Parker? Hilaire Belloc?) about a party girl that ended:
"She knew what it meant,
And she went."
Bill Clinton knew what it meant when he was groping young women and sauteeing himself in hot tubs with them -- and still he went. If he wasn't totally dominated by his little brain down there he would have had more than a clue about what was going on.
Doesn't pass the guffaw test. Clinton's only logical explanation: Jeffrey must have hid the children by distracting him with barely legal escorts.
Also... With all the academic nerds around, it was unthinkable to everyone caught in Epstein's orbit that he would ever violate the law on his private island in front of Stephen effing Hawking
Virginia Roberts Giuffre got that job at Mar-a-lago in 2000 and left to work for Epstein and Maxwell a few months later. Trump may not ever have known her or been aware that she had been working for him and was now working as a "masseuse" for Epstein and Maxwell.
’Epstein didn’t recruit her in 2003, it was in 2000.’
You mentioned 2003 in your earlier post to which I replied.
’Why didn’t Trump report Epstein to police in 2000 when Epstein recruited Giuffre as a 16 year old from the spa at Mar a Lago?’
For what - poaching an employee?
Slick Willie wants Americans to think he’s an older gentleman… well-meaning AF… with a poor memory.
LMAO
Aw shucks. I don't know these city slicker ways.
“Why didn’t Trump report Epstein to police in 2000 when Epstein recruited Giuffre as a 16 year old from the spa at Mar a Lago?’
“For what - poaching an employee?”
Trump said that he and everybody else knew what Epstein was doing with underage girls. So if he was telling the truth to police in 2006 when he said that, he knew that Epstein had committed a crime by trafficking underage girls.
“Poaching an employee”…rigggghtt.You’re making excuses for Trump. Pedo protector.
““Thank goodness you’re stopping him,” Trump said, according to the document. “Everyone has known he’s been doing this.”
The document — a written record of an FBI interview that a former Palm Beach County police chief told the Miami Herald he gave in 2019 — is likely to fuel more questions about when and what specifically Trump knew about Epstein and his crimes. President Trump and the White House have said repeatedly that Trump broke ties with Epstein in the early 2000s, believing Epstein to be a “creep.””
His defense is he's essentially Gomer Pyle
Bill Clinton collected $12 million for his memoirs.
Hillary Clinton collected $8 million for hers.
That's $29 million for the memoirs of two people, who for years have repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
h/t Robert Malone substack
Well this is interesting (link to WABC radio)
Former President Bill Clinton testified under oath that he has no knowledge of President Donald Trump being involved in criminal activity connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to testimony given during sworn proceedings, Clinton stated:
“Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved [with Epstein].”
The remark came as part of broader questioning surrounding Epstein’s associations with high-profile political and business figures.
Inga said...
“Why didn’t Trump report Epstein to police in 2000 when Epstein recruited Giuffre as a 16 year old from the spa at Mar a Lago?’
Trump did work with investigators on the Epstein case. Epstein thought it was Trump that ratted him out.
That is why Epstein was on the phone with democrats during their hearings on Trump.
You really are just a dishonest piece of shit.
“Former President Bill Clinton testified under oath that he has no knowledge of President Donald Trump being involved in criminal activity connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”
LOL! Now they want to believe Bill Clinton. Bill and Trump are birds of a feather, members of a flock, Bill doesn’t want to anger Trump is my suspicion. They protect each other.
my suspicion
I generally believe people when they say things that align with facts stated by numerous other observers.
People whose statements come out of their nethers, not so much.
Yes shes already sold us? Was she always thus
why was Bill in the Epstein's hot tub? Flight records reveal he flew on lolita express at least 26 times.

It must be heartbreaking for the girls to hear they have been forgotten.
”Poaching an employee”…rigggghtt.You’re making excuses for Trump. Pedo protector.’
Trump is the only one who turned him in to the authorities - certainly not Clinton.
p.s. go fuck yourself for calling me a pedo protector…
LOL indeed.
I don't care about liars such as Inga or any of the Left. They LOST AGAIN on the Epstein Files walls are closing in narrative. We love America AND THE DEMOCRATS SAT.
I wish them all horrible lives and a terrible death. They deserve it for what they have been doing and trying to do to this country.
I did not have sex with THAT woman, or THAT woman, or THAT woman, or THAT woman. Epstein was just my driver, not my friend. I did not see anything inappropriate while in presence of THAT man.
In all my years of working, I've yet to find a CEO who would report to police that a low-level employee (whether secretary, sales clerk or spa worked) had been hired-away by a guy who likes young women.
Fake fluttering moral judgment belatedly comes from TDS folks, not questioning all the prominent elite Dems caught in Epstein files, but furious about Trump's relative absence. Back in the day, adults judged people for their apparent actions, chose to stayed away, but didn't call police on basis of suspicions. Did Trump engage in an Epstein orgy? Don't know, but no Dem has stepped forward to confirm DJT's attendance at a debauchery. Dems should answer for themselves: why didn't Obama or Biden Administration release the Epstein files to illuminate participants in crimes committed against women and under-age girls? Oh, yes, because it would expose their party-financing major financial contributors to public scrutiny.
