42. Weak "evidence"
Sun Sep 7, 2025, 01:54 PM
Sep 2025

1) Why would anyone believe anything Trump says? He lies about everything.
2) Um, No. The "falling out" over the real estate deal happened in 2004. The prosecution of Epstein didn't start until 2006. And the FBI was not involved in the investigation until 2006 when the Palm Beach Police asked them to get involved due to the Palm Beach State Attorney not seeming to take the case seriously enough. The investigation started by the Palm Beach Police in March 2005 when the mother of one of the victims called police. The FBI investigation failed to result in any Federal charges against Epstein.
3) I have found zero evidence that Epstein threatened to sue Trump. Do you have a link for that?
4) This depends on the claim in 3) which I can find no evidence for.

You want circumstantial evidence? This guy nails exactly why the idea of Trump informing on Epstein is a ludicrous idea. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X3WE9meINu4

Trump was more a snitch than an informant. He snitched after Epstein threatened to sue him over a land deal. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #22
There is absolutely zero evidence to support this "theory" Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #31
Since when does MAGA need evidence? soldierant Sep 2025 #36
