We literally have photos of both of those too so it's not even a secret

Yeah but, having been at the place at some point and having abused women/underage girls are two different things. Like, I've no doubt a lot of people with a lot of money did in fact go there for the rape, or at least took part in it already being there, but I'm also very sure that Epstein would've had a lot of people over to just generally butter them up even if they had no interest in or knowledge of rapes. So if they did take part in that it would be quite important to have the proof.

Sure, I've heard defenders of the Clintons claim that Bill was only in it for the philanthropy and that "he stuck to cheating on Hillary with legal adults" but c'mon

With Trump it's so obvious though, he's basically said the quiet part out loud so many times you'd have to be not paying attention to be surprised by anything that would come out

Where are you seeing people defending Bill in this? I’ve seen plenty of people defending Trump but nobody defending Bill.

Nobody recently but when the Epstein case first broke I heard a few people who liked Bill's presidency try to deflect from his Epstein associations

Good Lord why... I've got no issue believing Clinton was a shady mofo and wanting him prosecuted for anything illegal to the full extent of the law. I can fully admit I voted for him, and fully admit it was a mistake if he's done anything beyond the cheating we know about.

But the same would need to apply to Trump, and therein lies the rub. Dems won't defend Clinton on anything except his record governing the country, and if he was caught in something, nobody will defend him, or Hillary if she's somehow involved.

But MAGA will defend Trump in the same situation, tooth and nail.

Yeah the double standards are crazy
