I'll never understand the theory that Hillary Clinton - a woman who hadn't held political office in over three years, had nothing personally to lose by Epstein yapping, and had no material contacts in the current federal government - managed to get this job done.
But Trump, the sitting President, with an upcoming reelection fight where he was underwater in the polls and surrounded by Epstein associates, was the guy who stood beyond repute.
Given the number of people Epstein touched, and the rank incompetency of both Trump and Clinton, I'd sooner put my money down on Thiel or Gates or even Prince Andrew as the mastermind. But dropping Clinton and Trump into the same lineup? Come on. One of them definitely had a bit more leverage with the fucking NY Prison Bureau.
Yeah it's pretty far down my list too but I think the theory goes that Hilary wanted him dead because if he ratted on Bill then it would hurt her election chances. Plausible enough as far as motives go. Still, I agree that Trump is the obvious choice.
In 2019? Hillary was well past her expiration date by then.
Oh Lord it's all blurring together on me. You're right. I don't get the theory either then.
