Jeffrey Epstein wrote in a 2011 email released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday that former President Clinton never visited his private island, NewsNation reports.
Said Epstein: These stories are complete ant utter fantasy

In a sense, I don't care.
I'm not emotionally invested in defending Clinton. I'm not in a personality cult based on who I have voted for previously. I don't make my voting record, candidate-wise, part of my personality/identity.

(9,920 posts)The Secret Service would have a paper trail up the wazoo if a former president tried something like this.
I expect gullible MAGA Republicans to have been deluded, but I can't excuse those on the left, even though I'm not sure if they were just as gullible or knew it was a lie and yet still attacked Democrats over this bullshit association (which would be pretty damn deplorable).

(16,856 posts)So, I'm happy to see this email. Does it exonerate him entirely? Probably not.
I felt safe and sound during the Clinton years. I think he was a smart President, savvy and in command.
I also think he likes a flirtation. It strokes his ego - and he has undeniably acted on those flirtations in the past. But none with unwilling participants - even though some may have come out later and tried to make something of it. He's not a pervert. He's just a player. That, in my opinion, is between him and Hillary.
Trump is a pervert in my view. He enjoys and gets off on young girls, and he enjoys and gets off on forcing women to do things. That, in my opinion, in a whole other category. It's illegal for a reason.

Sexual Abuse is not ok for anyone, in any political party.
