10 or 15, or more like 20 or 70
Also, Trump hardly knows Jeffrey Epstein, hardly at all, hasn’t seen him in centuries, barely remembers him.
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday that President Donald Trump told her he has not had contact with Jeffrey Epstein in “over a decade” and that the president finds the recent charges of sex trafficking against the billionaire financier “completely unconscionable.”
“I talked to the president this morning. He hasn’t talked or had contact with Epstein in years and years and years — and over a decade at least, he said,” Conway told reporters.
Years x 3 sounds like more than a mere decade to me, but you do you.
“He doesn’t think he’s talked to him or seen him in 10 or 15 years,” Conway later said. “And he, like everyone else, sees these charges, the description of these charges against Epstein, as completely unconscionable and obviously criminal. Disgusting, really.”
Uh huh. We totally believe that, because what reason could he possibly have to lie about it? And what history does he have of lying at all?
Taking the statement as *hork, spit* true, though, ’10 or 15 years ago’ would put the last contact somewhere in the ballpark of the conduct for which Epstein took his now-infamous plea deal. Funny, that.
What’s funny is that Trump has a perfectly legitimate excuse not to comment on Epstein: “As President, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on a pending federal criminal case.” (Hell, some people had a hissy fit when Obama commented on some high-profile incidents, e.g. Trayvon Martin, that were only state court matters at the time.)
So is she saying that having charges brought against Epstein are criminal or the charges themselves?
Seriously, everyone else believes this? I don’t think so!
Oh, wait, I forgot. Everyone else, to Trumpistas, includes only those who think like they do. The rest of the world does not exist to someone with no theory of mind.
At least Trump knows enough that this looks bad, and that he needs to distance himself from Epstein for reasons of self preservation. Or someone told him he should do so. Maybe it’s been “years and years and years”, but what about before then? Similiar predilections. Same high rolling circle of rich dudes. Trump has form.
What strings got pulled at the time of the slap on the wrist? Where did those strings lead to?
I wonder what Epstein might have on Trump. Locked up. In that safe. That was raided.
