11. They are ignoring there is a HUGE difference between the relationships

of any Democrats and Trump with Epstein. Barring new information, the Democrats met with Epstein because he gave campaign contributions and also contributed to universities. This is campaign financing rearing its ugly head.

With Bill Clinton, we know Epstein let him use his jet for travel to Africa for his foundation's charitable work. That was a huge gift, but super wealthy people are the main funders of NGOs like the foundation. For the politicians, several donated his contributions after charges came out. The politician can not be expected to vet every campaign contribution.

With Trump, you have Epstein's BFF for 15 years and he is mentioned in over half the email threads provided by the Epstein estate. This is significantly more than Bill Clinton. I would bet the majority of Clinton mentions will end up being either name dropping or someone writing about legitimate things Clinton was doing.
