Summary

Donald Trump’s name appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s recently released flight logs seven times, including flights in 1993 and 1994, some with his then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany.

The documents were released by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated this was the first phase of disclosures regarding Epstein’s network.

Bondi requested additional FBI records on Epstein, citing thousands of undisclosed pages.

Epstein, who died in 2019, had connections to Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

      They didn’t have to kill him, it doesn’t have to be a conspiracy. Barr’s DOJ allowed a man in a VERY high profile case that should have been on increased watch commit suicide on the eve of his bombshell testimony and going away forever. They allowed him to take his own out.

        The conspiracy was the missing footage, not the method of death. It was intentionally covered up.

        Yeah, something that seems to be getting glossed over because the conspiracy is more entertaining. He was either murdered or allowed to kill himself. Both are equally bad.

            What’s the difference? Both would have resulted in the death of a man and a miscarriage of justice? Both would be caused by a direct decision.

                Because in one case Epstein decides himself to be dead.

                I guess the difference is consent. Something his victims didn’t get to provide either.

                  I honestly am not concerned about Epstein’s consent.

                  A murderer murdering a pedophile, and likely doing so as part of a conspiracy to protect other pedophiles, is much worse than someone deciding to look the other way while Epstein offs himself.

                  Epstein being dead is disappointing either way, but only because we didn’t get more information from him.

                  I’m not concerned for Epstein at all. A murderer murdering a pedophile, and likely doing so as part of a conspiracy to protect other pedophiles, is still much worse than someone deciding to look the other way while Epstein offs himself.

              You can look at it that way and make an argument, but in this case it’s just a shortcut to implying a conspiracy theory is true that still remains a theory.

              I will never understand why people want to be sure about things they cannot know.

                This isn’t some Q-anon or fakr moon landing conspiracy bullshit. This was a wealthy pedophile on suicide watch in prison who just so happened to have the opportunity to kill himself hours before he would have given testimony implicating dozens of elites. Sure, it’s possible that was not intentional but you can’t deny that it is suspicious.

                Also, you really shouldn’t put words in other people’s mouths. I said giving him the opportunity intentionally would be the same as killing him. I never said that definitely happened. I think is extremely likely but there’s no way I could be sure.

                  I never denied it was suspicious. Just find it so annoying that people cannot stop with that. Until there’s hard evidence of it, it’s speculation. Doesn’t even matter if it’s likely true. Repeating it over and over makes it true for some people but I won’t be one of them.
