The reaction to the release of a portion of the Epstein files has been fascinating. It seems one mention of a name associated with the sexual predator in any way is enough for many to assume that person is also a predator. But for most of the MAGA minions, nothing can throw shade on the Megalomaniac in the Oval Office.

The Epstein files DO NOT absolve Donald J. Trump of participating in the sexual abuse of children as he claims. Quite the opposite.

Of the files released, 5,430 have included more than 38,000 references to Trump! In the latest tranche alone, his name is mentioned more than 1,000 times! In addition, there are credible tips accusing Trump of sexual assault and the rape of minors, including sworn testimony of victims! And, of course, there are numerous photos of Trump with his then best friend showing them with young girls! Indeed, Trump is so prevalent in the documents they could rightly be called the Epstein-Trump files.

None of that should surprise you given what we already knew of Trump’s sexual misbehavior.

We have seen video of the Felon-in-Chief talking about grabbing women by the p*ssy; of him talking about walking into the dressing room of his Miss Teen beauty pageants; of kissing women without their permission. We know that his first wife testified that he raped her. We know that he had sex with a famous porn star when his third wife was pregnant and paid to cover it up. And we have seen him lose two court cases to E. Jean Carroll based on her claims of sexual assault.

So, is there any reason to not believe that Trump was a willing and active participant in Epstein’s pedophilia? Is there any reason to not believe the claims of the victims?

By all means, let’s hear testimony from the Clintons, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Howard Lutnick, Steve Tisch, Brett Ratner, RFK jr., David Copperfield, Alan Dershowitz, Richard Branson, Harvey Weinstein, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Les Wexner, Bill Richardson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and all the rest. But let’s also hear testimony under oath from those who were closest to Epstein, especially DJT and Melania.

And while we’re at it, let’s also hear testimony from AG Bondi, Deputy AG Blanche, and FBI Director Patel as to why the Epstein list they claimed to have on their desks seems to have vanished into thin air.
