Why Hillary Clinton and NOT Melania Trump????????

Lawrence O'Donnell made the keen observation on his show last night about why was Hillary Clinton questioned for 7 hours behind closed doors, explaining she had NO knowledge of or was ever associated with Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, when all the while Mellania Trump does indeed have a history of her association and knowledge of them?

Shouldn't it be Melania Trump? This COVER UP Stinks to high heaven!

28. There is the Putin connection
Fri Feb 27, 2026, 01:07 PM

But there is also the likelihood that Epstein arranged Trump's original hook-up with Melania while Trump was still married to Marla Maples. That's not a crime, and Trump/Maples were apparently separated at the time. The problem is that Epstein was already deeply involved with the Russians, as Putin was rising to power.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/08/politics/epstein-putin-russian-officials-connections
Putin became President just a few months after Trump hooked up with Melania. And over the next decade, Trump avoided multiple bankruptcies as a direct result of money coming from the new Putin regime by way of Epstein in some cases.

This creates at least the appearance that Melania isn't so much his wife but is a handler assigned by Putin's people.

There are many important questions that should be asked of Melania, under oath, such as:

1) When did you first meet Donald Trump?
2) When did you first meet Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell or anybody representing them?
3) Prior to meeting Trump, did you have any contacts with Vladimir Putin, any of his close associates or anybody you had reason to believe was representing the Russian government, including the KGB or FSB?
4) Since marrying Trump in 2005, have you had any contacts with Putin or representatives of his regime, in which Donald Trump was not included.
5) Have you ever received any instructions, directly or indirectly, from Putin or representatives of his regime?
6) Have you ever made any reports back to the Putin regime, by any means, that included non-public information about Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein or any of their close associates?

The chances that she met Putin and they (her family and Putin) arranged for her to use her "talents" to help the Party while she was a teen are not below 50%.
She was actually a pretty girl in her earlier, pre-soft core photos.
And she appears to really like living the glamorous life, but not doing much more than that.

Melania was very close to Epstien and Maxwell and probably had sex with Epstien, if not both.

I'd make some tv ads and billboards asking why not Melania.

Jeffrey and Ghislaine; those were the couples.

Moreover, why should she bother working for Putin, having no access to anything important, when DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HAS BEEN WORKING FOR HIM?!

Or did I misread, and your post was a joke?

and that she was assigned the task of being his handler and she could do it better if she was "married" to him. Mom insisted that the reason she was so furious when he won in 2016 was that she wanted out of the marriage and had been promised she could divorce t after the election.

19. Wrong First Lady
Fri Feb 27, 2026, 12:18 PM
8 hrs ago


There once were some members in town
Who sent a subpoena around;
They aimed it at Trump,
But, oh what a bump—
Wrong First Lady’s name they had found.

They’d meant to call Melania near,
Whose circles raised many a sneer;
With Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs,
And shadowy fogs—
Instead they got Clinton to hear.

Up rose Hillary Clinton calm and prim,
Addressing the dais stern and trim:
“I honor oversight,
When it’s fearless and right—
Not partisan theater on whim.”

“You claim that I know of the pair—
Of Epstein and Maxwell’s affair;
Let me be clear:
I’ve nothing to share,
No plane rides, no island, no lair.”

She spoke of the victims’ despair,
Of predators prowling unfair;
A “slap on the wrist”
In 2008 missed
The justice survivors should share.

“You summoned officials galore,
Eight justice chiefs—maybe more;
But few did appear,
No hearings sincere,
Transparency locked behind door.”

When Les Wexner sat for his say,
No Republicans showed up that day;
The files gather dust,
While shielding the “just,”
And truth seems conveniently gray.

She told of her travels afar,
Where trafficking’s wounds leave a scar;
In Asia she’d seen
Girls barely thirteen,
In brothels beneath a dim star.

In Europe, a mother’s lost child,
By networks deceptive and wild;
While leaders looked cold,
And justice was sold,
And cruelty quietly smiled.

Back home she had labored to see
New laws for the trafficked set free;
Her husband signed law—
A landmark she saw—
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act decree.

As Secretary, pressing each land,
With programs in nations so grand;
Reports every year
Made sanctions quite clear,
Demanding a firm, steady hand.

She’d even insisted the U.S.
Be judged by its own stern address;
“No haven,” she’d say,
“For slavery’s sway—
Hold higher our own righteousness.”

But under Trump Administration’s view,
The trafficking office withdrew;
Staff cut to the bone,
Priorities blown—
A chilling communiqué flew.

“A serious panel,” she pressed,
“Would put every stone to the test;
Release every file,
Protect victims the while—
Let sunlight do what is best.”

“It wouldn’t chase me for a show,
While shielding the names that you know;
If truth you demand,
Then oath must command
The president’s answers below.”

“So what’s being held from the light?
Whose secrets are guarded so tight?
Be worthy,” she pled,
“Let justice be led—
Choose statesmanship over the fight.”
