I say around 30%, but it has to stay in the media.

(18,643 posts)Even if Musk retained copies of the unaltered files and were to call "bullshit" on whatever happens in September (Maxwell's testimony is at odds with her prior accounts, or the files have been cleansed) and releases copies of the files--which I doubt he'll have the courage to do--think of what this guy has done and how few consequences he's ever faced for anything. Now he controls all the levers of power. I think our best hope at this point is a massive hemorrhagic stroke ("the likes of which has never been seen before" or an accidental overdose of whatever....

Why would Maxwell that needs Trump and the Extreme Court to get her out of prison turn on Trump and Republicans. There is no reason for Maxwell to turn on Trump.
If you focus on the victims of Epstein, Democrats can take down Trump. There are three or more Epstein victims that implicate Trump as an Epstein client.

You only need one to support the other two's validity.
Maria Farmer's story is the most rock solid and shows the other two, despite fears and withdrawn lawsuits and statements, are valid with both are again saying Trump was a fellow child rapist of Epstein girls.

(94 posts)Virginia Giuffre killed herself. The pressure is too great for many to talk. The billionaire elites and media protect their own, not the girls. One or more had death threats, harassment, car stolen. So with no support from Democrat politicians nor Republicans, nor media support, the Trump accusers walk back their statements to stop the threats to their life and mental health. The Trump crime organization is behind it as Trump has many powerful mobsters and Washington spooks to destroy the lives of the girls and women that Trump raped to keep them silent.
