To: Ghislaine Maxwell

From: Jeffrey Epstein

“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump… [Victim] spent hours at my house with him , he has never once been mentioned. Police chief. etc. im 75 % there

To: Jeffrey Epstein

From: Ghislaine Maxwell

“I have been thinking about that…”

Email #2

Email #2 is direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff.

To: Michael Wolf

From: Jeffrey Epstein

“[Victim] mara lago. [identifier]. Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop”

Email #3

Email #3 is direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff.

To: Jeffrey Epstein

From: Michael Wolff

“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you–either on air or in scrum afterwards.

To: Michael Wolff

From: Jeffrey Epstein

“if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”

To: Jeffrey Epstein

From: Michael Wolff

“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”

    Incredible play to release these after capitulating totally on the shutdown. If I didn’t know better, I’d almost say the democrats feigned helplessness in order to destroy the ACA and then put this story out to distract from their supposed incompetence. But they wouldn’t do something like that, they’re the true party of the American working class.

    I don’t like the narrative that we’re using for Epstein anymore. Like yeah, Trump is a pedophile BUT

    stay with me now

    but if memory serves the original framing was how bizarre it was that all of the political and cultural elite were in cahoots for this international pedophile ring. Why was everyone in the pedophile ring?

    To focus on Trump’s Epstein connection is to minimize the scope and fucked upednednss of the sophisticated operation in my mind. Do you know what I mean? It’s profound that Velveeta Voldemort is a straight up predator, but why is there a big pedophile cult all the way down?

      Trump is the sin-eater much like Hitler was. All the crimes of the regime will be blamed on him and a relatively small number of cronies while the majority of people who participated get off scott free

  • damn.

    not much open to interpretation here.

    i keep thinking there must be some massive trove of blackmail material, given the connection to the intelligence apparatus and all the kid glove treatment of epstein right up until near the end.

    i wonder if the incompetence and imperial decay will result in more coming out, like just from how so many decision makers are bunglers.

    So the whole reason everyone knows about Epstein now is because of the pedo-pedo split? Did Trump stop procuring children for him when he started his whole political shindig or something? That’s what this reads like.

      Students reading about this in the future very-smart

      The US empire fractured along ideological lines among those in power between those favoring permanent pedophilia vs those favoring pedophilia in one country. The leading theorist of permanent pedophilia, Jeffery Epstein, stressed the importance of pedophilia in “backward” nations in supporting the pedophile revolution. This clashed with his intellectual counterpart, Donald Trump’s, nationalist focus with a bent towards developing a strong domestic pedophile class, including both the jet ski dealership owner class and the willful rubes. This schism eventually led to Epstein’s early demise, and despite Trump’s t-shirt “I have no connection to Jeffery’s suicide, wink, now stop asking questions” many still have questions.

      The third email is sent by Michael Wolff to Jeffrey Epstein in 2015. While the phrase “let him hang himself” caught my eye, I believe it is a metaphor and not literally. The email chain is about Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign. Michael Wolff is asking Epstein about whether he will clear Trump’s name.

      • Wolff suggesting that Epstein blackmail Trump for political favor. That’s the part which will allow Trump to shrug this off like everything else. He will say Wolff (and the Democrats) were trying to blackmail him. Since the libs welcomed Wolff to the resistance in 2018, it’ll be easy.

        We have great ammo but now it’s tainted because libs can’t help but to praise and welcome any corrupt fucker that criticizes Trump, making the criticisms look weak.

        I’m imagining one of the alphabet agencies came to Trump and showed him these emails specifically to trigger him into giving the order to kill epstein

        trump-death-note He said he’s going to hang me, well I know how to do hanging, too

    The unfolding of this is such a doomer/bloomer thing for me because I don’t know how it shakes out. The right has spent the better part of a decade accusing everyone from health educators, public school teachers, LGBT activists, to random civilians of being Satanic child abusing groomers. And now it becomes increasingly documented that Trump was close personal friends with Jeffrey Epstein, and not to mention that Epstein was working for the Israeli government. Obviously most RWers will be able to write this off because Trump is their guy, but there has to be at least a portion of those experiencing cognitive dissonance that will come out the other end disillusioned.

    The schisms within the RW and the schisms within the liberal base as they wake up to the fecklessness of their Democrat electeds give me reason to think that the status quo of politics will have to shift, opening up the possibility for a better governance, but because This is America I have to stay open to the better than even chance that what replaces it is more open fascism.
