No. I think I was clear about that. But this story isn't mainly about the sex operation. It is horrible what happened to the girls, but they were truly viewed as disposable, just collateral damage. That is not my view. That is how Trump, Epstein, Maxwell and any others in this racket saw them. Don't let your emotions keep you from seeing the bigger picture.
I said nothing in support of the sex exploitation, and I said nothing to blame the victims. However, they were groomed, not kidnapped, and that is a significant distinction, I think. Indeed, the grooming was a more intentional, longer-term activity than if they had been kidnapped and kept in a basement. Trump unquestionably had to be aware of this grooming operation. He supplied some of the girls and some of the grooming happened at his house.
Nonetheless, that is only a small part of the story, the sex part (even the grooming part) will never have any consequences for Trump. He is fighting the release of information because of the other 95% of the story, which is all about extortion on a global level at the highest levels of government and business.
