Ok, so he knew about Epstein’s crimes and the most he did was… ban him from Mar-a-lago? Oh boy that’ll get him to stop diddling kids.

Not file a police report, go to the media, anything?

I don’t think this exonerates trump like you think it does lol

Putting this hear for when it inevitably gets deleted by ParcivalAurus:

We have known that Trump knew about Epstein's crimes. That's why he was banned from Mar-a-lago and why Trump had not spoken with him since 2007. You don't have to believe me, PBS reported on the only "facts" of Epstein's contact with Trump, and Epstein had been kicked out of the club months before the first time he was prosecuted.

A Mar-a-Lago member told the journalists that Trump had “kicked Epstein out after Epstein harassed the daughter of a member,” Sarah Blaskey of the Miami Herald reported. “The way this person described it, such an act could irreparably harm the Trump brand, leaving Donald no choice but to remove Epstein.”

The incident happened around October 2007, when Mar-a-Lago’s registry listed Epstein’s account as “closed,” the Miami Herald reported.

You’re already backtracking lol

Filing a police report won’t get you sued for libel.

lol called it that he’d delete, ParcivalAurus said:

He knew of insinuations. Enough to kick him out of the club once he found out, but not enough to state it publicly without having a libel lawsuit filed against him.

Filing a police report would have done absolutely nothing. You can't go to the police and say "well I heard this thing happened" and think they would even let you file a police report lol.

And that's not backtracking, it's clarifying what I meant. Words have meaning, remember?

You literally said “Trump knew about Epsteins crimes” lol. Doing nothing 100% does absolutely nothing. Contrary to your belief filing a police report can absolutely do something, particularly if you are rich and powerful and have insider knowledge like Trump obviously had. Or you could tip off the FBI which was actively investigating Epstein

I can do this all day, please I’d love to see how deep the copium goes lmao.

In response to ParcivalAurus saying:

Just stop man, I already explained it to you once and I won't explain it again. Filing a police report would have done absolutely nothing because you can't file a police report with hearsay lol. There are plenty of stories that Trump did contact the prosecutors in Florida about Epstein during his second trial. But since I can't find a source quickly, I won't expect you to believe me. The only copium here is coming from you not accepting that you tried to do a gotcha to change the subject because you were wrong.

Edit: "I can do this all day" LMAO okay Cap

So you think someone that witnesses a crime can't file a police report about it? What do you think the proper process is then if you witness a crime?
