The sex trafficking comes first, but money laundering needs to be on the list of things investigated. Trump is really worried about these files, but so far there have been no witnesses that put him that close to anything serious with sex trafficking.
What if the trafficking is not what Trump is worried about? What if there is evidence of some other crime in those emails or in the file somewhere?

The wealthy pay big bucks to hide their use of girls and young women for sex. As Eric Weinstein has said, they can get any kind of sex they want but what they need is secrecy. I would like to know if the men who are in the files are sending money to trump - off shore of course, to keep things quiet. trump is essentially the owner of Epstein's business.

Pretty interesting since Trump is yelling MORTGAGE FRAUD, MORTGAGE FRAUD on people lately.
Projecting again?

(266 posts)and I were just kibitzing the same thing. It's always about the money. Trump was/is knee-deep in Russian mob money and has been for years.

Accusations of financial crimes don't seem to bother him all that much. They just roll off his back, but he's really sensitive about sex crimes. I don't know, maybe he hears the voice of his mother in his head, but he really gets ruffled when the subject comes up.
I remember that from the "golden showers" stories. The more vehemently he denies something, the more guilty he tends to be.

Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russias top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.
I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me, Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russias longtime foreign minister.
