Wouldn’t that be considered witness tampering or something like that?
Add it to the list. Neither he nor his voters care about that stuff
When he said he could shoot a man in cold blood in the middle of times Square, he wasn't kidding. He's literally raped children for God's sake.
As often as he projects... i'm kind of wondering if he's had people murdered... like the time he accused Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern... i remember thinking holy shit... start searching trump properties for buried bodies.... i mean shit he buried his ex wife on a golf course.
I mean he wouldnt do it himself. He'd hire a hitman. Which then he'd short the hitman on paying him. Its the trump way to never pay the ending fees on a contract. I dont think he himself has had a direct hand with murder. But I 100% believe he's a child rapist. He talked fondly of jeffrey epstein, and went to his parties, and commented himself on the young girls at the parties.
Just ask "Katie Johnson" the pseudonym of the little girl who was raped by trump and epstein when she was just 13 years old.
He’s a convicted rapist. No conjecture or hyperbole. A convicted rapist.
Look, I dislike him as well, but do you have any proof for that last statement? I have yet to see or hear of anything like that.
They're talking about Katie Johnson on this list. It was strongly rumored at the time that she dropped it because she and her family got death threats.
Some of the things in her story don't really add up, particularly the bit about it being in Epstein's apartment, and "identifying him" on TV years later on television. Accusations like this that wind up being false are extremely, EXTREMELY common.
Also, the chances of her knowing Epstein off hand but not Trump especially in 1994 are incredibly low. Epstein was a nobody in 1994, no chance were those two friends at the time.
Not saying it didn't happen, but why would trump be hanging out in Epstein's raggedy ass apartment to begin with?
Epstein was not a nobody in 1994, why are you claiming so? It makes it look like you're grasping at straws to defend Trump
Lol. Lmao. Was that an attempt at comedy? Not about to get into this conversation. If you think I'm defending trump then there has to be some kind of barrier between us. I'm not defending trump, I'm attacking the accusations against him that were thrown by people who only wanted to get Hillary in office.
You realize he's being investigated right now, nothing like this has come out and no charges related to this have been pressed since the investigations began.
I vehemently hate politicians, but there are only two things worse in a political position of power than that: tyrants and businessmen.
Yes, Epstein was "not a nobody" in 1994, but he sure as shit was not famous as fuck either, especially compared to trump at the time. He didn't have an endless amount of wealth in 1994, try 1996. The fact that her case was one of the few that were ever dismissed are also telling considering the fact that Epstein still ended up going to prison for the rest of his (rather short) life. Epstein was a filthy evil piece of shit, but that would have been the case even if he was not an acting pedophile.
Let's shift over to the case itself because that's the main point here, not Epstein.
Personally, I think her case was a ploy set up to attack Trump while he was running for office, and she lumped in Epstein because of his several other charges coming on throughout that time period. The fact that it conveniently came at a time where she "recognized trump" over twenty years later but knew Epstein offhand is a bit suspicious don't you think? Wouldn't it have been the latter? And considering the fact that Epstein had been receiving charges since 2005, why would she wait until 2016 specifically to charge Epstein (and trump along with him)? At a surface level, it really didn't seem like this case was about Epstein so much as it was Trump.
Don't confuse what I'm saying with defending Trump. I'm playing devil's advocate because truthfully both parties are evil, and every election there are baseless claims thrown out like this because both are willing to say anything and everything to try and get their candidate elected, Trump included.
Does the justice?
No, worse its witness intimidation. Essentially tampering "you should x" intimidation "I'll do x" one effects current witnesses while the other implies they'll go after current and potential witnesses.
That only counts when you don't have money.
I thought this was directed at the judge?
Edit: Given the context it seems aimed at the witnesses.
Possibly, but it depends on how the judge interprets it.
How is this statement open to any other interpretation than as a direct threat.
idk, i'm not a lawyer
When you want to be a victim that badly you see threats in everything
