19. Yeah, no. Maybe time to revisit diagramming from English class in elementary school?

The question was "have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?"

If he had never socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18, he could have answered "no" without any worry of perjuring himself.

If he had socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18 and it was on the up and up, he could have said "yes" and explained himself (e.g., the many pageants with underage contestants that the two were known to attend/host).

If he had socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18 and it involved criminal acts, then the actual answer he gave makes a helluva lot of sense because he didn't want to answer truthfully and admit to crimes that he/Trump committed.

I didn't know "socializing" with someone in the presence of under 18s was a crime... Justice matters. Jul 2025 #10

Obviously it isn't, but Epstein knew if he said yes to that question the next question would likely address Wiz Imp Jul 2025 #14

I understand that. He knew they had clear evidence or credible witness(es) of his crimes. Justice matters. Jul 2025 #18

Exactly. There would have no reason to assert the 5th unless inappropriate behavior(s) occurred with Texin Jul 2025 #21

I don't think that's a standard... SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2025 #27

I don't follow Oliver Bolliver Butt Jul 2025 #23

That was my point. His presence in a situation where illegal behavior(s) by another were taking place, Texin Jul 2025 #46
