..."The Epstein files represent everything wrong with Washington,” Greene, 51, told the Times for the Dec. 29 profile, which was based on multiple interviews with the outgoing Republican congresswoman. “Rich, powerful elites doing horrible things and getting away with it. And the women are the victims.”

In September, Greene spoke directly to Epstein survivors during a closed-door House Oversight hearing, which moved her to fight for accountability on their behalf. After leaving the hearing, she rallied reporters and publicly threatened that, if necessary, she would work with victims to reveal the names of Epstein's associates who perpetrated sexual abuse against women and girls.

That threat, she said, resulted in a hostile phone call from the president — their last proper conversation.

According to the Times, which heard about the call through both Greene and one of her staffers, Trump, 79, rang her Capitol Hill office to voice his frustration with her public advocacy on the issue. The whole office could allegedly hear him yelling at her on speakerphone, according to her staffer.
....
Greene claimed that when she expressed confusion to Trump on the call over his resistance to outing Epstein's potential conspirators, the president told her, "My friends will get hurt."

2. That's right, Donald. And they won't be your friends anymore. They never liked you in the first place.

3. He left out, "And so will *I*! "

13. This right here. He doesn't care about any of his "friends" - he'd throw them under the bus in a NY minute

if it would save his lard ass. HE is the one HE is worried about.

4. He has no friends

Other than Epstein. So he was afraid of getting hurt.

Also doesn't fit with his Dem hoax theories.

7. When he says "friends"

He’s referring to his own balls. One can only wonder what he named his dick many years ago.
