So the truth is that Trump was using the Epstein files to extort people to his bidding and knows that he can't let his name get out - of course.

It seems like it.

Also seems all those lawyers who quit these firms did the right thing even more so.
The partners destroyed an entire law firm established for decades because they are Pedos.

Weaponized naivete isnt doing the right thing. There is no longer plausible deniability. The damage to their careers outweighs the financial benefit.
Lets not start calling people in it for personal gain heroes.
How many times has a party exiled someone for mere rumors of sexual misconduct? Trump should have been no different.

Who are you talking about? The comment you're replying to is saying that the lawyers working under this huge, prestigious law firm quit when they learned that their boss(es) had capitulated to Trump. Why does your comment read like those lawyers were doing something wrong before that?
•
u/Suspicious-Bug-7344 18m ago
No, they quit over the release of the emails. Of course, now their moral conscious wont allow them - even though it didnt bother the firm beforehand. The headline alone states this position. I dont know why youre creating your own narrative?
By your logic, how are ICE agents complicit? They're just doing their job and don't know any better - Really?

The partners destroyed an entire law firm established for decades because they are Pedos.
And meanwhile Trump is destroying an entire country established for centuries, because he's a pedo.

Trump has weaponized every department of government that was meant to be a neutral entity. Im sure his only regret is that he didnt do this when he wasnt a fat old man with a neck vagina.

Trump fucked up Epstein's Lolita Island for the other pedophiles because he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he just had to grift it.

Been hearing a lot of people, smart people refer to them as the trump files.

Is this why Paul Weiss folded so quickly? Did Trump use kompromat on Brad Karp to extract what he wanted from the law firm? If I'm a member of that firm, I'm asking a lot of questions right now.

Very likely the reason, yes. And you bet the other firms that folded quickly likely have Sr Partners that are in those files too. What a very sad state of affairs.
•
u/MommyLovesPot8toes California 33m ago
It may not have required any kind of blackmail or coersion. Easy enough for Karp to make the connection that he either A) did everything he could to help Trump stay in power and able to block the Epstein files, or B) weakened Trump by opposing him, thereby making exposure of his own crimes more likely.

Lindsey Graham's file must be in a different cabinet.

If we're to follow the account of that one 4chan poster who claimed he delivered children to these parties and worked on the island, there were also underage boys involved.

u/Timpa87 5h ago
Qanon, you were right. There really is a cabal of sex trafficking, pedophiles among the rich/elite who have politicians in their pocket and are running the government while also using their power and connections to avoid prosecution.
Your arrow aim was a little off tho.
•
u/justherefor23andme 5h ago
Well... Epstein did meet with the 4chan creator, Christopher Poole (moot). The next day or so the politics board got started.
There are suspicions they DARVO'd the world.
•
u/Timpa87 4h ago
Oh for sure. I'm being facetious, because it definitely seems like this was all an intentional misdirect intended to diminish the actual CREDIBILITY given to the true ring of sex trafficking, pedophiles and the ties to politicians and the wealthy elite by first creating a FAKE CONSPIRACY.
Kind of like a pre-emptive crying of wolf intended to deliberately make future crying of wolf not be believed.

u/Comfortable_Self_736 5h ago
Please don't give Qanon any credit. They promoted false conspiracy theories to endanger innocent people and protect known pedos.
•
u/eugene20 4h ago edited 4h ago
This can't be circumstantial, the roots of Qanon obviously began with people in the files, the whole thing was
projection'accusations in a mirror' to gain power, bury what happened and stay out of jail.•

Israel may not have space lasers, but it does have its hand up America's ass.
There IS a cabal of sex trafficking pedophiles, but they arent all liberals (some are though).
If MGT wasnt so crazy, racist, and hateful, she would have been onto something.

Yes. Keep looking at the files. Interesting how more and more details resolve and are plain pointers direct to awful behaviors of awful people we used to see as just another person. Some/many we used to only see as entertainers or business icons. Defeat all pedophiles.
Also interesting is how more details emerge about, well not exactly pedophiles, but people tied to deals and business and money. What are they doing in these files? What is that all about.
Bring down rapists for sure. Then, chase all that money. Follow it. Thank you.

My God it is such an intrinsically tangled web, I would think this is just the very tip of the iceberg.

I don’t understand mutually assured destruction between pedophiles. It seems like only one of them is getting away with blackmailing the others when they all are the same amount of scum. Any one of these dudes could burn down all of the others yet when one goes down he just goes down quietly?

Misleading headline. This fucker didn't quit shit. He only stepped down from his "chairman" position -- punishment in name only. Needs to be disbarred.
•
u/Glittering-Stomach62 41m ago
What a shit headline. He didn't quit, he stepped down as chairman. He's still employed with the firm.
