Hard to say for sure but it does look like Trump and his wife were involved with Epstein a little bit more than they would like admit.

Melania Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein denial challenged by bombshell 2019 FBI report​


A newly unearthed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) witness interview from 2019 seemingly contradicts Melania Trump's recent statements denying connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

On April 9, the first lady held a press conference at the White House that surprised many. She issued a rare public statement, denying any connections with the late s*x offender.

Pam Bondi. no show but I don't think anyone expected her to show. She did her jobbed protected the pedophiles. If she's convicted of anything she will get an immediate pardon.
 
It's over.

The collapse is baked in.

This is Rome, writ large...modernized.

Lies, secret deals, evil groups with covert agendas and bribed operatives...and real crimes ignored, and the criminals left to repeat, again and again.

And the lies become increasingly transparent, and increasingly repetitive. A large percentage of the populace submits to the indoctrination...as the outrages become moar grotesque.

Final chapter, chaos and collapse. We're entering that phase.

She doesn't care. She's already moved on and if she doesn't already have a very high paying job offer, she soon will.

Her, Kash and 100's of others that have actually seen the information and done nothing. It boggles the mind. These people have sold their souls for a paycheck and a pension. Who knows what else.
 
Note: I can not speak as to the veracity of this so take it fwiw and dyodd. Supposed to come out tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what will come of it.

as if nobody would leak a thing if Trump was involved...

Why weren't they released during the Biden administration?​

newsnationnow.com/politics/why-were-epstein-files-not-released-biden(NewsNation) —

As tens of thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein continue to be released, Republican leaders continue to question why the previous administration didn’t declassify them.

In December, Congress and President Donald Trump passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, compelling the Department of Justice to release documents related to Epstein by Dec. 19.

Since then, several rounds of files have been published by the Department of Justice, though amajority are heavily redacted. A complete timeline for the release of the files is unknown.

Trump is mentioned and pictured in the files, and some photos featuring Trump were restored tothe DOJ’s website after Democrats accused prosecutors of trying to shield the president.

In a Dec. 23 statement, the DOJ said some of the new files contain “untrue and sensationalistclaims” about Trump, submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election. The department did not clarifywhich claims — and corresponding files — contained such material.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer asked the Senate to sue the Justice Department overthe unmet deadline and has accused the Trump administration of attempting to “hide the truth.”

Conversely, Republicans have pointed the finger at the previous administration. So, why weren’t the Epstein files released while former President Joe Biden was in office?

Epstein case was an open investigation under Biden​

The Epstein case was an open criminal investigation during the Biden administration, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown explained on social media. Brown’s extensive reporting since 2017 has shone a light on the crimes of Epstein and his longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her book about Epstein, titled “Perversions of Justice,” is a New York Times bestseller.

“They had an open grand jury. … And even after Maxwell’s conviction, the case was on appeal — anyone in law enforcement knows you don’t open your case file when it’s still under appeal,” Brown added.

Victims were still going to the FBI with information during Biden’s term, but that changed when President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice reviewed the files and closed the case in July, Brown said.

Trump reverses course on Epstein files​

Though Trump campaigned last year on the promise he would immediately release the Epstein files if he won the presidency, he switched his narrative earlier this year. Since then, he has received pressure from both sides of the aisle to release the files.

As public pressure mounted, Trump questioned the political rationale for renewed interest in releasing the files.

In a July interview with conservative outlet Real America’s Voice, Trump said, “I think in the case of Epstein, they’ve already looked at it and they are looking at it and I think all they have to do is put out anything credible. But you know, that was run by the Biden administration for four years.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Trump allies have echoed that stance.

“The Biden Department of Justice had the files the entire time, and not a single one of the people who were so loud and animated right now ever said anything about it for all those four years,” Johnson said during a news conference Tuesday. Trump eventually reversed course and urged House Republicans to vote to release all files related to the investigation.

“We have nothing to hide,” Trump wrote on social media.

Tangled web, woven of lies.

I've come to my own conclusions, and nothing contradicts it. TRUMP is only in there as a peripheral player - like Godot in the play of the same name. What ties him in are his FRIENDS - who are mostly Dumbo cracks, in many cases POWERFUL Dumbo cracks.

THAT is why the Emperor of Ice Cream didn't release the files. Those FOTs were his friends, too. Or rather, his puppetmasters' friends.

Trump could have come out of this a hero - and easily, by just coming clean, frying Lutnick and Musk, maybe, and all the Insiders who have been Republicans for maybe 20 minutes.

He didn't have the guts. He's loyal to his friends but he can't tell true friends from false friends, from players and groupies and hangers-on.
 
Yea no-one has anything to hide and it's all a democrat hoax. Thats why it's classified right? We classify hoaxes now?

Both parties. It's a Political Elites (not a)hoax, now.

But, lets face it. Lifer politicians are different from, say, self-made billionaires (or, if you like, bribery-graft billionaires; but the difference remains). A guy as rich as Trump, who's been married multiple times, who had women throwing themselves at him...he doesn't need a Fantasy Island filled with little girls. Old men with no redeeming social value, who have lived in "elective" office all their lives...fat, weak, ignorant, bored...THEY need a place like Jeffy's Funhouse to spend all their PAC misappropriation.

The difference between those who make money (however they do) and those who just take money.

Trump's business model was his ingratiating himself with takers, who also, with some fluke, would have say-so over his projects, and later, his political aims. He not only knows how to make a deal; he doesn't know how NOT to. That's how he winds up with friends like Howard Lutnick.

And those friends...are worse than enemies, as we're now seeing.
 
Last night the news reported that a suicide note has been found. No clue how true this crap is but I do expect to hear more about it in coming days.

 


Epstein code words so far, these are just guesses and open to changing with new info:

White tuna = dead white woman
Cheese pizza, chicken parm = CP
Chicken soup = child sex
Hotdog = boy
Pizza = girl
Pasta = little boy
Cream cheese = newborn
Organic carrots = ginger girl
Pecorino Romano cheese = ?
Haagen Dazs chocolate ice cream = ?
TIST, LSJ = Little St. James
Ice cream = male prostitute
Walnut = non-white
Sauce = orgy
Jerky = Human flesh

How the Mafia Would Have Handled Jeffrey Epstein​

May 4, 2026
The Mafia is famous for its ruthless violence, but there were strict lines that were never to be crossed. In this video, Michael Franzese breaks down the internal "morality" of the mob and answers the burning question: How would the Colombo Family, John Gotti, or even Roy DeMeo have dealt with someone like Jeffrey Epstein?
Michael explains the strict rules regarding women and children, why the mob did not tolerate predators, and how Epstein’s billions might have actually made him a target for a shakedown before his inevitable end.
Michael also takes time to address the ongoing internet rumors regarding his government cooperation, setting the record straight on what actually happened during his Senate testimonies and why he refuses to judge others without hard evidence.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe you can relate to this, Searcher. A little Navy experience, while on liberty in Singapore...we had basically a week at anchor in the harbor, liberal liberty, four-section duty, which was unusual at-sea. So we were in town a lot.

And we found our hangouts. My little group found an ersatz London pub on the river, run by a couple of Chinese brothers...obviously they'd spent time in England, their English was Cockney, their establishment close enough to the real thing we couldn't tell. They were friendly enough hosts, but distant...but we'd spend some time there drinking Singapore or Australian beer and watching the circus.

Well, we're in there one evening, and a sort of ruckus boils up. Another group of Navy types off our carrier had wandered in, and one of them was apparently overserved from another pub. He's getting offensive.

One of the owners comes up to us. "Those men over there. Are they friends of yours?"

"They're off our ship, of course, but we don't know any of them."

"Well, can you get them out? We need them to leave. I mean, NOW."

I went over...the senior guy was an MM2 (Black Gang, engine crew, figures) and I tell him...the owner wants you guys gone. He's being nice about it; that's why he asked me to tell you. Do yourselves a favor and move on...there were other places they could drink, including some counters that had sidewalk seating.

He was cool about it. He had a word with a couple of others and they took the butt-head by the elbows, and headed off elsewhere.

We went back to our pitchers. The owner walked by. "Sorry about that," I said. "I know you've got a nice place here, and you don't want to be getting the police involved in anything."

"Oh, we wouldn't call the police."

My eyebrows shot up.

"Things are different here. When we have a problem...we take care of it ourselves. That's why I wanted to find out if they were your friends. If we'd had to remove him, he'd be gone."

Ah, the triads. Not just in Hong Kong.

Organized crime has its own justice, crude but very effective. And when run by Euro-derived people...basically moral, immersed in what they see as an immoral and oppressive system...they enforce an older moral code, more basic, and also more tied to survival of the race and the family.

The democrats went to such lengths to get something on Trump before the election, that I find it very difficult to believe that there is anything damning in the Epstein files regarding him. They dragged him into court saying that Mar-a Lago was only worth $18M. 17 acres of prime Palm Beach real estate. If there were no structures on it, it would be worth many times that much. With a palace, swimming pools, tennis courts, putting greens, etc., it is worth 100 times that much. If they could have used actual evidence, why wouldn't they instead of making crap up?

For this reason only, I don't think there is anything bad in there regarding President Trump.

The problem with this logic is that the Epstein files contain nuclear scuttlebut on everyone in the power class - Dems, Pubs and their benefactors/billionaire donors. The files were too toxic to use because to use them is to release them and everyone gets burned.

Let the chips fall where they may. I'm fine with it if they have to hang all the bastards - left or right. Hell, I'll buy the rope. Then, we can start over with term limits.

They're all guilty - or at least are closely connected to those who are guilty.

To release the files...CONFIRM the facts that have been released...would destroy everyone, basically the whole system.

Those who would release, those who would prosecute, would be destroyed in the avalanche as well.

The entire Political Elite Class was either actively involved in this degeneracy, or is closely tied to those who are. Very few are clean.

That includes Trump, probably. He's at arm's length to Lutnik, to Cankles, even. Was at Chelsuglo's wedding. Who KNOWS how many associates, former Cabinet officers, officers within the Trump organization, were at Jeffy's funhouse? And denying it won't work - all this was RECORDED, FFS, and probably saved by the CIA.

Nobody clean in government. From my read on what's been going on, the CIA has been PREVENTING Boy Scouts from getting into power positions for decades. Everyone has to have a leash, something they can be blackmailed on.

And now we know why they worked so hard to make Ron Paul look like a loon. He couldn't be solicited into a "Pizza" banquet.
