If There Was “Dirt” On Clinton In Epstein Files Trump Would Already Have Released It

Really. Think about it. IF there was any evidence of Clinton wrongdoing (either Bill or Hillary – remember Pizzagate?) in the Epstein files Trump would have released it months ago! He hasn’t and the silence is deafening, at least to me. I only hope MAGA continues to be as clueless about this as they’ve been so far.

MAGA gets all butt-hurt when accused of being stupid (more like ‘stoopid!’) or blindly accepting whatever Trump tells them.  Even though they do actually treat Trumpty’s pronouncements as gospel.  He flogged releasing the Epstein files during the campaign. HE of course didn’t do anything wrong.  Ok, so there are all those pictures and videos of him and Epstein ogling women. Lots of other stuff in the public domain for years is known to MAGA. But their Trumpty has assured them HE never was a sleazebag like Epstein. And he didn’t really know him all that well. Trumpty knows he can’t get away with assigning Epstein to “I think he was the coffee boy” status but with MAGAs he’s managed to minimize the connection.

Until now. Now MAGA is a ravenous beast demanding a full-course gourmet meal of Epstein because they believe Bill Clinton will be the main dish!  Trumpty it seems thought he could play up the Epstein thing, tarring all Democrats (because of Clinton) to it but break it like any other promise. Well, it seems he was wrong. MAGAs still mostly believe their Trumpty is pure as the driven snow on Epstein but they are convinced the true target of their bloodlust is now being ‘protected’ by Trump!  Maybe even others too.

So they are angry, with them questioning WTF is going on and in increasing numbers and with increasing fury. So far rank and file MAGAs are giving Trumpty at least some benefit of the doubt, but major influencers like Bannon and Carlson they listen to are singing a different tune.  If Congress does take it’s full annual summer recess it’s more than a small possibility the influencers, as well as Congress Critters like the GOP’s Thomas Massie will keep ripping on Trump for NOT releasing everything.  Team Trump is betting on time causing the whole mess to fade away. It might well turn out to be a sucker bet.

As I’ve already asked, if there was actual evidence or at least “mud that could stick” on Clinton why hasn’t Trump released it? The ensuing fury of MAGA and orgiastic reaction of news outlets for a sex scandal about Clinton, a Monica Lewkinski 2.0 only worse would cause Trump’s misdeeds and even crimes to get lost in the chatter.  Trump knows this. He may not know much but he’s still got PR chops and the ability to manipulate the media.  The plain fact is that in all likelihood when it comes to the Clinton-Epstein relationship there’s not much “there” there.

When Clinton’s name first came up in association with Epstein it got a long, hard look. Let’s take a trip back in time.  A year and a half ago with a release of Epstein material including names of people who’d been “looked at” was coming out Newsweek put out a timeline regarding Clinton.  All in all it was pretty lame stuff. Clinton knew Epstein like so many other rich and powerful people did and they sometimes were together prior to Epstein being outed as what he truly was. At which time Clinton had nothing more to do with him.

Yes, Clinton accepted some favors. Rides on Epstein’s private jet but never to that infamous island or ranch out west. Nor it seems was Clinton at Epstein’s NYC brownstone for parties as has been implied. Still, taking rides back and forth four times for what seems to be legitimate purposes on a jet nicknamed “The Lolita Express” offered a lot of frequent flyer miles for conservative holier-than-thou hypocrites, journalists and news consumers to gawk at.  Back in 2019 Clinton issued a formal statement:

In a statement released in 2019, and since reiterated to Newsweek, a spokesperson for the former Democratic president said he had “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” and “knows nothing about the terrible crimes” the financier pleaded guilty to in Florida and was later charged with in New York.

Naturally Newsweek (and others) followed up wanting more specific information. The linked article includes this:

According to Clinton’s previous statement, in 2002 and 2003, the former president took a total of four trips on Epstein’s private plane—dubbed the “Lolita Express” by locals on Little St. James because of its use in transporting young girls there.

It said one of those trips was to Europe, one to Asia and two to Africa and “included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation.”

Flight logs kept by one of the plane’s pilots and used in court proceedings show that Clinton flew from New York to Britain and back in March 2002, and from Atsugi, Japan to two locations in China, as well as to Singapore, Thailand and Brunei between May 22 and May 25 that year.

You can read some pretty specific details by clicking on the linked article. I’d suggest taking note of the fact it mentions Secret Service logs. Clinton was after all a former President and as such has lifetime protection. And the Secret Service has to document said protection.  Look, I’m not saying Clinton deserves a complete pass. It’s not like HE didn’t have a roving eye and he had to know Epstein was a ‘player’, a party guy who organized lots of parties where folks could mingle in an environment that offered chances to cut-loose and play around on spouses and partners. Still, as I said it doesn’t seem Clinton was a regular at such events in NYC and there’s no evidence at all he went to Epstein’s more notorious locations where underage girls were trafficked/exploited.

So I again say this was looked at with a fine tooth comb by federal investigators and plenty of journalists long ago. I also say IF there was anything, and I mean anything of substance Trumpty could point to he’d have announced it already.  That MAGAs, and even mainstream journalists and pundits don’t seem to grasp this astounds me.  I for one hope two things: First that the chattering class of mainstream news continues to overlook/ignore the concept I’ve brought up here, and second that MAGAs continue to remain too stupid to think about it.

So blinded are they by their lust to FINALLY have Clinton’s “junk” on a silver platter it just doesn’t occur to them that while Clinton sleazed around on his wife at times, that’s the extent of his wrongdoing.  More important is that they DO believe Bill (and Hillary too) is a pedophile who regularly had Epstein procuring underage girls for him, that Trump has the ‘evidence’ and most importantly that Trump refuses to release it.  Can you imagine the crazy goings on in the heads of MAGAs, the possibility that (HORRORS!) their Trumpty is PROTECTING Bill Clinton?  It’s no wonder MAGA is engaged in a growing civil war with itself and headed towards a meltdown.

Let’s just hope they stay stupid. That they don’t realize the obvious which is that whatever is in those files Trump doesn’t want released makes TRUMP look far worse than anything that mentions Clinton.
