So Virginia Giuffre was born in 1983

She started working at Mar-a-Lardo at 16
1999
Slobby says Jeffrey stole her…when.

Trump appeared to be close with Epstein — at least at some point. They’ve been photographed together, and video shows the pair partying together in the 1990s. Epstein reportedly said in 2017 that he was Trump’s “closest friend.”

Trump says Epstein is a “terrific” guy who loves young, beautiful women
Trump famously lauded Epstein, and remarked on his penchant for young women, in a New York magazine piece in 2002.

———-
Something is seriously wrong with his dates.
Keep on blurting it out Slobby. WSJ is coming.

...Giuffre met Maxwell at Mar a Lago in 2000 while she was working as a locker room attendant, and left Mar a Lago thereafter.

2. What happened to the Spa?
Thu Jul 31, 2025, 10:53 AM

Pressed about whether any of the employees he referred to were young women, Mr Trump said many of them worked in the spa at Mar-a-Lago.

"The answer is yes, they were in the spa," he said. "I told him, I said, 'Listen, we don't want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa.' ... And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again."

5. Spa Attendant. Not Locker Room Attendant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Giuffre
In mid-2000, Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell when working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy. Maxwell, a British socialite and daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, approached Giuffre, noted the book that she was reading, inquired about her interest in massage, and offered her a potential job working for Epstein as a traveling masseuse with the assurance that no experience was necessary. When Giuffre arrived at Epstein's Palm Beach home, she says he was naked lying down and Maxwell told her how to massage him. "They seemed like nice people so I trusted them, and I told them I'd had a really hard time in my life up until then—I'd been a runaway, I'd been sexually abused, physically abused. ... That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was", Giuffre stated. Giuffre stated that after Maxwell introduced her to Jeffrey Epstein, the two quickly began grooming her to provide sexual services under the guise that she was to be trained as a professional massage therapist.

7. I'm Sorry. I know you were just using the terminology used in the article.

I'm not sure why all of a sudden she's being referred to as a "locker room attendant" by some media. I don't remember ever seeing her referred to as anything other than a "spa attendant" before yesterday.

11. She referred to herself as a locker room attendant in an interview

I saw it on MSNBC yesterday, I heard her say it herself. She said that she was a locker room attendant in the spa. If you search her interviews you will find it.

It was a clip of her being interviewed, on one of the PM news shows on MSNBC. She said she was a locker room attendant at the spa at Mar a Lago.

Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery “Terrific guy,” Donald Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with.”

Oct. 28, 2002
By Landon Thomas Jr.



(snip)

Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

What’s next for Trump and the Epstein files?
Brrrr. Brrrr. Brrrrrrr. That’s the sound of Donald’s Trump’s distraction machine, which has been running at full power as the president tries his best to stop us all from talking about Jeffrey Epstein. Or, to be more specific, from talking about just how chummy he was with the dead paedophile.

Though he’s usually a master of controlling the narrative, none of Trump’s normal distraction techniques seem to be working now. Indeed, at this point we should probably rename the Streisand effect the Trump-Epstein effect because the president’s repeated insistence that there is NOTHING TO SEE HERE EXCEPT A VERY NASTY WITCH-HUNT only has people scrutinizing his dealings with Epstein more carefully. From South Park to Scotland to billboards in Times Square, Trump can’t escape his past association with Epstein.

12. The Epstein/pedophile thing was at the core of the QAnon CTs
Thu Jul 31, 2025, 05:04 PM
Jul 2025

The RW gasbags spent 10 years and invested a lot of sweat equity into feeding that nonsense out to the QAnon followers and many of the MAGat base. The "payoff" was supposed to be Bondi pulling that big 'ole rabbit out of a hat and instead, she came up with nothing. It's almost like Geraldo Rivera's lead up to what would be a "reveal" of Jimmy Hoffa's body!

Whole worldviews were (and still are) rocked.
