Trump issues Jeffrey Epstein challenge to press: 'Find out the people that went to the island'
2019-07-14
[WASHINGTONTIMES] President Trump has a challenge for investigative journalists everywhere: Find out who visited convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and has so far made 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, and some cases are ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged.....
’s island.

The billionaire whose plane was called "Lolita Express" by pundits often brought the rich and powerful to his private island. The president on Friday noted that news hounds now focused on outgoing Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s prosecution of Mr. Epstein should dig into who visited what became known among locals as "Orgy Island."

"Other people, they went all over with him," Mr. Trump said from the White House lawn. "They went to his island and all over the place. He was very well known in palm his island ‐ whatever his island was, wherever it is, I was never there. Find out the people that went to the island."

The president also noted that Mr. Epstein was booted from his private Palm Beach, Florida, club Mar-a-Lago, Mediaite reported.

"I didn’t want anything to do with him," Mr. Trump said. "That was many, many years ago. ... I threw him out."

#12  annihilatemost of the prominent Democrat men in both politics

I read it as "annihilate most of the prominent Democrat men in both parties" and it made sense. Funny how the subconscious works.

#11  The press can't afford to do it. It'd probably annihilate most of the prominent Democrat men in both politics and probably media. I guess we'll just add pedophile to the Democrat= Nazi, KKK, subhuman vermin.

#10  I'd like to think that some of the folks at the NYT are realistic enough to know that Bill Clinton is going to be in trouble for this and Trump isn't and they are trying to let their readers down gently.

Of course I might be imagining better motives and more intelligence than actually exist.

#9  Did it mention the Clintons? Perhaps the editor was too focused on keeping the Clintons from being mentioned...
