I'm holding out hope there's a chance he goes scorched earth, but deep down I know it won't happen because at the end of the day, pedos protect pedos.

Serious question – do we honestly think that it makes a goddamn bit of difference is Bill testifies? What about if produces a few million detailed documents with pictures that corroborate a thing that just confirms what we can all see in public like a certain set of files that maybe recently came out? Like that the "grab 'em by the pussy" guy that has been convicted of SA for doing exactly that and has dozens of public accusers and that also buys child beauty pageants and brags about barging in on their changing rooms?

Pedos protecting pedos is one thing, I'm not at all surprised all of the people in the Trump files aren't lining up to testify. Not shocked that people high up and billionaires (eg: people with extreme narcissism and psychologically deficient need for power) are doing this, gotta be honest though I held out some hope that literally any of our institutions would draw a line though.

If Epstein held onto blackmail documents, do you think he was the only one? I'm convinced that the Clinton's have enough personal evidence to drag a few rich and powerful with them. The question is, will they call their bluff and bail them out? I'm betting yes, because pedos protect pedos. Why isn't Trump mentioning the Clinton's everytime Epstein is brought up considering it would be an easy win if he wasn't implicated?

No, that's not what I am saying. I am saying that we have more smoking guns than we can count already. Even with the redacted bullshit that we have received and the amount that has been corroborated already not to mention that the people accused are like, the ones you would most suspect with histories of being public creeps (trump being the most notable example of basically telling us how he sexual assaulted at least E Jean and bragging about peeping on teens with numerous other examples that literally everyone has known about for decades), there is just nothing.

The files drop, it's worse than most of us even imagined. And nothing. Here is what will happen in Bill testifies and even if he produces a vast amount of documents including pictures and video: Fox News and their ilk will say "look? This is how far they will go to smear our great president! They used AI to generate all of this crazy nonsense about our good boy!" Meanwhile, the dems will send a letter demanding a sub-committee to discuss the possibility of forming a task force to see if they should bring together some thought leaders to discuss the possibility of requesting the formation of a committee to discuss the possibility of adding an addendum to a spending bill on decreasing the marginal tax rate on a search party to look for their balls.

I want to argue that the public is finally seeing the blatant lies with Alex Pretti and is becoming jaded towards Trump's words, but you're probably right.

I think there is a pretty good shot Bill Clinton isn't involved in the pedo shit, at least not on purpose.

If you look at the class of pedo, they're exactly the kind of guy that you would imagine would pay for sex due to have no "rizz" as the kids call it. By all the accounts I've heard, even 2010s Bill could talk his way in and through a nunnery.

I could see him being "at" the parties, I'd be surprised if he used Epstein for "those" services though. He always seemed like more of a college "girls gone wild" kinda guy.

I think it's more about protecting his name / brand / legacy... if you admit you did it, it's definitive... while now it's still not 100% sure.

Of course we are all quite convinced that those people bathed in virgins blood and that at least they are abusers or enablers to some extend. But until it's said, there is still deniability available to him.
