The latest set of emails implicated Steve Tisch, co-owner of the NY Giants, with a relationship with Epstein.
To summerize those emails, they spoke about his "presents" which included girls of eastern European decent. Namely Ukranian or perhaps Russian. Asking whether they were "pros" or not. Unclear if these girls were under age or not. Clearly, there was trafficking going on, if you read between the lines.
Now, it has long been alleged Russia uses so-called "honey pot" women for blackmail and espionage activity.
Trump is ALL OVER the Epstein files.
Trump had his "Miss World" event in Moscow.
Trump has been financed from Russia for decades since his creditworthy status in the West is shit.
Allegations of money laundering from Russian oligarchs in Florida real estate. Shady deals overseas. The list is endless.
Does anyone else see where this "could" be going?
Multiple high powered individuals have been shielded from exposure in the TrumpStein files.
Complete anti-Trump flip-flops from Republicans, notably Lindsay Graham, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, among others.
The NRA taking $$$MILLIONS from Russia.
This is not a "hoax".
This is Vladimer Putin OWNING Donald Trump.
This is Vladimer Putin having compromat on dozens of Republicans.
This is Republicans not lifting a finger to help stop the genocide in Ukraine inflicted by a meglomaniac.
This is Republicans not lifting a finger to stop a clear and present danger to America.
This is Trump kissing Putin's ass at every opportunity.
This is Russia destroying the United States of America from within.
And he didn't have to fire a single shot.
If I'm talking out of my ass, tell me why. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the smell test is pretty damning in my veiw.

(17,413 posts)Hillary tried to warn us. What I still don't understand is why almost all Republicans in Congress would go along with every single thing Trump does since he doesn't have kompromat on all of them.

(813 posts)Because Putin has kompromat on both of them and used it to lure them in and train them to do what he does.
Putin: see, donald and Jeffrey, how easy it is to obtain blackmail material from wealthy, powerful individuals? All you need are hotel rooms with hidden cameras and underage girls ( or boys, if they prefer)!
That scenario is absolutely plausible and, in fact, likely what happened.

(4,476 posts)being hacked but the Republicans were left alone, I suspected Russia. I felt positive when Donald said"Russia if you are listening". Then someone on DU said something to the effect "everytime you shake Trump's tree, a Russian falls out."
It went from "Oh that's just Donald" to "What the f@ck".pretty fast I even signed up for the website "What the F*** happened today"
So, much of Russia, Russia, Russia has been not surprising to me.

Thanks for the illumination!

(2,308 posts)Why we are not talking about Melania and the Epstein files?
I've always thought she was a Putin plant. Why else would she attach herself to the orange train wreck. He has the appearance of wealth but many others with real wealth would pay for her arm candy and other talents without the obnoxious baggage he extudes.
Buddyzbuddy
(2,275 posts)was either under investigation or indicted for something and then ran off to live in Russia and is pushing MAGA talking points from Russia?
I'm sorry but my recollection is very vague about this but there may be somebody reading this that has more details and facts.
Somebody got into the Epstein mansion in FL. and cleared evidence out, flash drives, photos, and journals following that big raid when law enforcement left all of the evidence behind. That info is worth a lot of money and power.

(80,326 posts)Of course Epstein was being funded and assisted by others.
Of course Trump was supplying girls from eastern Europe and Russia.
Of course Putin gave him access to the pageants and girls.
Of course Putin already had his own sex and drug ring going.
Of course Epstein was videotaping all the rapes, sex, drugs.
Just like Putin does.
Of course rich powerful white males took part in the action
and now are beholden to Trump and Russia. And will cover it all up.

Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russias top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.
I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me, Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russias longtime foreign minister.
In the email exchange, one of hundreds released Wednesday by congressional investigators, Epstein indicated he had previously talked about Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russias forceful ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin died in 2017.
Churkin was great, Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, wrote. He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.

(27,744 posts)As a former KGB agent, he would have access to intelligence on American elites (damn, it's hard to think of The Felon as an "elite".......), and he wouldn't be at all chary of using it to his advantage. Yes, Putin OWNS the US "president." And WE are paying the rent.......

(813 posts)There is no Russia hoax. All these events that date back to the 1980s weave a thick, smelly, orange, winter quilt!

(4,488 posts)It's a global cabal.
To consolidate power over!
It was likely entrapment over some who found their way onto 'the list' or material.
There was likely drugging of some 'innocent' powerful or famous at parties. Ruffie's or
something slipped into a drink. Inhibition gone. Girls or boys instructed (forced) to perform
or else. Photos/Videos taken. Powerful shown the evidence after the 'party'.
The blackmail follows.
Blackmail orders include bringing another 'innocent' into the fold.
And/Or VOTE this way or the blackmail material will be released,
Or whatever vile bidding the cabal demanded.
THEY are that evil!

(4,241 posts)I have been saying it and saying and have gotten all kinds of responses, but I still believe it is true. TSF was put into office to destroy the nation as Putin ordered.

(25,082 posts)... he told Michael Cohen that they could engineer it so trump would get elected as president.
So much of this information was available at the time I don't know he even became the nominee. Some shenanigans there. There's no way he won and not Hillary.
This is from Democracy Now from 8 years ago:
tanyev
(48,812 posts)but who else do they have kompromat on? Trumps personality does not react to threats of blackmail like normal people would. He is convinced he can get away with anything. And to be fair, his tactics of deny deny deny/retaliate retaliate retaliate have allowed him to get away with an astonishing amount of offenses that would have put other people behind bars for a very long time.
