Why was Trump using the same division of Deutsche Bank where Jeffrey Epstein laundered money? Why did Trump say “I wish her well” about Ghislaine Maxwell? Why did Trump appoint Alex Acosta to his Cabinet after Acosta’s sweetheart deal giving immunity to Epstein co-conspirators?
Why has Trump never been asked about Epstein victims who were recruited while working at Mar-a-Lago? Why did DOJ allow Epstein to die in prison? Why did Bill Barr’s dad hire Epstein to teach at a prestigious NYC school despite the fact Epstein didn’t graduate college?
What happened to Epstein’s secretly recorded video tapes? Where did Epstein get the money to buy his properties and investments? Why did Trump’s rise coincide with Russian/foreign spam about child sex trafficking by Trump’s opponents?
Big difference between legal and common-sense questions. I would put these in the common-sense category for now. SDNY is probably not working the Epstein case from a Trump angle; so far we have almost no evidence (outside a civil lawsuit) that ties Trump to Epstein’s wrongdoing.
But that doesn’t mean we, as voters and part of an informed society, shouldn’t ask these kinds of common-sense questions about what exactly happened with Epstein, and why he has such bizarre ties to President Trump.
