If Trump Really Was an Epstein Informant, What Did He Do to Stay Undercover?
I wonder what crimes the FBI would’ve let him get away with if he were embedded in a child sex-trafficking ring.There are days in which I am convinced that Speaker Moses's feet have not touched the bottom of the pool since he got the gig. And, continuing with the natatorial metaphors, there also are days when I think he goes off the diving board without checking to see if someone has filled the pool. Recently, he managed to illustrate both phenomena vividly.
In an attempt to shield the president from whatever, Johnson floated the notion that the president had been working as an FBI informant working undercover to expose Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire. There were several problems with this theory. First, the president had already deemed the whole matter a "Democrat hoax." Why would the FBI need an informant to investigate a hoax? Another problem was a bit more provincial.
We in Boston had our antennae quivering. We'd been through this before. Famously, the local office of the FBI determined to "run" mob boss Whitey Bulger as an informant to bring down the local Italian mob. In exchange, the FBI let Bulger continue to ply his regular trades of extortion and being a serial killer.
This corrupt exchange led to FBI agents covering for a truckload of major crimes as well as the jailing of several innocent men in connection with those crimes. The FBI also facilitated Bulger's savagery by blocking investigations by local law enforcement and, ultimately, his disappearing act and his 16 years on the lam. Knowing that the FBI allowed a vital informant to commit murder and mayhem in order to maintain his cover, the more cynical among us wondered what an FBI informant embedded—nice word, that—in a system dedicated to sex-trafficking children would be allowed to do to maintain his. Anyway, by Monday, Johnson was backing off this fairy tale as fast as his holy feet would carry him.

Very reluctantly, completely against his will and morals, rape underage girls to play the role. He even went as far as posting images of him and his daughter in sexual like positions to keep his image going with the Epstein cult.
Undercover drug officers sometimes had to use drugs to prove they were not narcs, if it got to that point.
He is a hero to go to the level of raping little girls to bust up that evil ring of pedos. And as a germaphobe he put his life at risk. Maybe a “Noble” peace prize IS appropriate.
