There is exactly one person's life that Trump cares about, and that says everything that needs to be said about this topic.

I am absolutely positive that this is a direct result of Elon Musk's little bitch-fit earlier. He tried playing a card he didn't hold in his hands. He assumed he did, and then when his bitch-fit didn't get him anywhere the administration quietly decided to torch any and all evidence and just pretend it never happened. He played a card that Trump didn't want him to play, and so they took it straight out of his deck in the most blatant-to-anyone-with-two-brain-cells manner possible.

I thought, before this, that there was a slim possibility -- however slim -- that Trump merely associated with a child rapist, and Elon was simply pulling a(n admittedly half decent) plausible "gotcha" out of his ass. Now I know with certainty that Trump is a child rapist.

With the testimony against Trump from people who claim he raped them when they were children... Let's just say that if Trump was a Catholic priest, they'd have already moved him to a different country.

Pedophiles lives. Pedophiles lives will be destroyed. Or people happy to associate and socialize with pedophiles.

Truth told? I'm not gonna lose a wink of sleep over their lives being destroyed.

How come this logic doesn’t hold water for people who live in poor neighborhoods or areas with gang activity? Or for migrant workers from Mexico?

Clues you in to who they consider “people” and who they consider wage slaves that exist for their benefit

So, you can destroy normal peoples lives, people who've paid taxes and followed the law, but rich pedos are above the law, got it. America, you're cooked.

"[Trump] said, and I agree, there are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein's conduct. They maybe had lunch with him or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another," O'Reilly began. "If that name gets out, those people are destroyed — because there's not going to be any context. The media doesn't care about context — so you can't do that. You can't destroy human beings by putting out the files, whatever they may be."

Oh, yeah, Bill, you're totally right. Lemme just put down this pitchfork and torch and go right along with NAW I'M JUST KIDDIN EAT THE RICH

Technically, that’s true. A fair bit of investigation would help, but friend Patel isn’t in much of a hurry, now is he? And this was never an issue before either, when it was - say - the Clintons’ heads that were gonna roll, why is that then?

12

Maybe if we had a functional government that gave a shit about innocent until proven guilty then this excuse would hold water. They shouldn’t release the files; they should use them as the basis for investigations and eventual prosecutions, because nobody can say for sure if every person on the list is guilty. But we can tell the excuses are bullshit because they’re just gonna sweep it all under the rug and pretend it didn’t happen,

...the fact that ASSOCIATION with the name Jeffery Epstein could be tainted is enough, at least for the court of public opinion...

Trump Doesn't Want to Release Epstein Files Because (rich) People's Lives Will Be 'Destroyed,' inconvenienced with having to spend money on lawyers when a few of their wives divorce them Ex-Fox Host Says

Real “Brock Turner-ism” happening here. Be sad that some rich people might get in trouble.

The lives that mattered (the victims') have already been destroyed. Why are we protecting these people?

They only care about fetuses, not so much once they're out.

Bingo. Nothing well come of it anyway. People well still support Trump even if he's in the list. I'm convinced nothing Trump could do would hurt him.

He's trying to retcon the whole thing (and no doubt pad himself and his cronies), by fabricating this fiction that there are names in it that are just associated with Epstein, without being involved in anything illegal.

Personally I don't buy it. Seems like he's in CYA-mode.

Oh like we get I dunno like 12 people in a room to listen to what all happened relate it to relevant law and establish guilt or innocence... I hear commie countries do anti freedom stuff like that

3

If that concern were actually relevant and not merely an excuse, mob justice would fail to consider innocence. That's seen repeatedly. Merely an excuse seems likely, but...

The thing I could imagine is that the list being something like a contact list, and Epstein treated celebrity contact information as a status symbol. If the list is a ledger of otherwise off book transactions, or a lost of people complete with blackmail material, then I can't see how they could even try to make the argument about innocent caught up in the list.

Either way if they have a district list, put aside releasing the list for a moment, where's the legal system enforcement actions?

The only person trump means when he says “people” is himself lol

Two possibilities:

  1. The Epstein files are full of Magastanis.

  2. There was never anything in the Epstein files and the Magastanis lied and 70 million idiots believed them.

24

They lied by claiming that the list was full of Democrats and that they were the party to protect children from the lizard people.

  1. The Epstein files are full of Magastanis.

I mean, if there is some list of extremely wealthy clients...... It would probably just resemble a copy of the Republican mega donors list.

Most people wealthy enough to vacation on a private island also really don't like paying taxes.

LOL, he must be talking about himself, since he never gives a rat's ass if someone else's life is destroyed - see for example, the outcomes of DOGE, ICE....

Trump could rape a underage girl on camera and nobody would care.

You know whose lives I'm concerned about? The children whom these monsters raped. Does anyone care that their lives were destroyed?

If you choose to rape children, don't complain that your life is "destroyed" just because you have to face consequences. You did this to yourself and deserve every consequence you receive.

Have any of the victims ever come forward?

That’s an odd piece of this puzzle - where did those children end up? Dead? Threatened into silence (like the girl who had a lawsuit against Trump that was dropped around his first election?)

5

Epstein famously received an unprecedented federal non-prosecution plea deal in 2008. There were dozens of victims who had come forward in those charges, but they (along with anyone else who hadn’t come forward) were instantly disenfranchised by that deal. The prosecutor who arranged that plea deal was Alex Acosta (who went on to serve as Labor Secretary under Trump 45 🤔).

I'm not sure, I never heard anything. Though considering what happened to Epstein, I imagine they might have preferred to stay out of the spotlight.

Fucking GOOD! Let them be destroyed! These are the sorts of people that NEED their lives to be destroyed!

People? You mean his whole shit stain Administration? Those people…?

Ah so the rapists, pedophiles, human traffickers, dredge of perverted society..... Those people will suffer.

Never mind the girls, children, victims of the rapes and coersion and trafficking.... They are doing just fine?

18

In the maga mind, the victims dont even register, unless they were told to be offended or concerned, they are unable to have their own thoughts

I'm just happy that they say "ex-Fox Host" because it implies that people don't know who Bill O'Relliy is.

I was completely surprised that that arsehole was even still on the air. Everything is stupid.

Yeah, I really feel for those poor innocent millionaires who associated with a known pedo totally in good faith.

Thanks to inflation, pretty much any small business owner is a 'millionaire.'

Remember, a billion is a thousand millions.

1

The millionaires I'm talking about are the millionaires from the eighties who partied with Epstein and all knew who he was and what he was doing. Hell, his fucking private jet was nicknamed the Lolita Express...

A million in the eighties was a lot of money. It got you 4k of snow tops.

These are demons that we are calling human, the politicians and businessmen that are ruining our society and causing misery simply because it is their nature to do so.

Mar-a-Lago was a recruiting ground for the child sex trafficking ring. Not only was he in there, he’s got an employee discount. He was just as complicit as Ghislaine Maxwell, and in a just world he would be in prison right along with her.

...so one set of lives can be destroyed because they have no purchase on society, the other cannot because it does?...so rape and abuse is allowed for the wealthily endowed?...

10

Uh, huh? And?

We are talking about the sex offender / pedophiles that Epstein theoretically had dirt on, right?

8

Yes.... the child rapists' lives would be destroyed.... that is the general idea.... and you are opposed to that? Are you soft on crime? The crime in this case being child rape? Or are you just, specifically, pro-child rape?

5

Yes trump is on the list, but idk if it is even released and his name and photo/vids are there I doubt his life would be destroyed. More then likely this supporters would just say it’s taken out of context and still vote for him when he inevitably runs for a 3rd term.

4

So the kids that where raped lives are fine to ruin. But some rich asshole nope gave to protect them. Kill them all.

3

Any bets that there will be missing minutes when the files are ultimately revealed? They were likely eaten while El Criminal was on his gold toilet.
