It is important to understand that this was not a sex trafficking scandal. It is a Kompromat operation that was conducted over a period of 25 years. THAT is how Epstein made the money to be able to own jets and buy private islands.
Ever wonder how Maxwell fit it? Her father was well connected with MI6, the KGB, and Mossad. That is well documented. SHE had the connections to monetize that Kompromat.
How much would Prince Andrew or Trump pay to have sex with a 13-year-old? $1000? $2000? Maybe even $5000? I guarantee you that the KGB would pay 10-100X that much for the Kompromat. And so would our dearest allies, the Israelis and Mossad. How much is a little Kompromat worth when Israel is getting billions of dollars in aid from the US? It could be worth millions, tens of millions, very easily.
It isn't really complicated. So you can be certain that Epstein sold lots and lots of that stuff over the years. I don't know how much of it is ended up in FBI files. Probably not that much. But it is undoubtedly in files inside some of those other spy agencies.
And here's another thing to think about. Why would MAGA be upset about this? And why would Musk care one way or another? Those answers are linked. MAGA would not care -- indeed, all things equal, they would take Trump's side as they always have. And they certainly aren't concerned about Trump having sex with a 13-year old. So why the outrage from MAGA now?
The only plausible explanation, AFAIK, is that there are people agitating for this within the MAGA space. And that is likely coming from Putin and Musk, working together. For both of them (for entirely different reasons), Trump has outlived his usefulness. Trump booted Musk from his DOGE perch and cut the hell out of the government handouts Musk got rich from. And Putin can't be happy that Trump is at least occasionally taking Ukraine's side. And far from destroying NATO, Trump's abrasiveness has solidified NATO in favor of admitting Ukraine. So maybe Putin has has enough of Trump.
I can't say that 100% of my above speculation is true, but it is obvious that there is far more going on here than meets the eye, and it is not good for Trump.
