The “leaked texts” in question are messages obtained and reviewed by The New York Times regarding their 2022 arrest in Romania.

“I had word from The Trump admin that theyre [sic] on top of things,” Andrew Tate wrote in a message to “someone close to him,” according to the Times. “Ive been told ill be free soon but Trump needs to see me in Miami.”

Mockler also noted Paul Ingrassia, who serves in the Trump administration as the general counsel of the General Services Administration, has represented the Tate brothers as their attorney.

“You may remember Paul Ingrassia from his leaked texts last year in which he said he has a ‘Nazi streak’ and uses old slurs,” Mockler wrote.

“[Vice President] JD Vance still follows the Tate brothers on Twitter. Barron is friends [with] them. All of this happened after Andrew admitted to being a pimp on camera. This is the Republican Party now. I’m a young dude who loves America, and hates seeing it hijacked by these hateful, abusive, degenerates.”

So do the Epstein files.

We're waiting...

Nothing? That's what I thought.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 97 points 1 day ago

Why are the trumps besties with the biggest POS? It's a mystery.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago

"Look, Barron! Daddy found you your very own "Epstein"! Soon you'll have your own children to rape, just like Daddy did." - Trump, probably.

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 43 points 1 day ago

Wow. I never thought about the job vacancy created when Epstein was arrested. It's not like the billionaire class stopped with the rape.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Always remember:

Epstein wasn't the first

Epstein was never the only one

Epstein won't be the last

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

So long as the demand exists and there is enough money behind that demand, eventually someone will step up to fulfill it. Taking down the Epsteins of the world does little to alleviate the harm, so long as the rapists they enable don't end up in the ditch next to them.

[-] searabbit@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Why do you think they're out there killing people connected to Epstein?

[-] 13igTyme@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

Who's getting killed? I thought most were getting cabinet positions or government contracts.

Maxwell was even moved to a nicer prison and given better treatment.

[-] mx_smith@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I think OP is referring to that model agent in France who just died and had ties to Epstein.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Brunel, Epstein's elderly business partner. The on paper owner of MC2 modeling.

Yeah, he killed himself. That one doesn't even have some doubt. The French bastard had even talked his way out of awaiting trial in prison, but fucked up and got thrown back in, then killed himself rather than rot for the rest of his natural life.

That was years ago.

it's weird when one doesn't disagree with this particular fart

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I know you are being sarcastic, but really it's probably that someone's gotta pick up where Epstein left off. I find it impossible to believe that all the Epstein class just stopped abusing children and magically weren't pedos anymore once Epstein got caught. There's probably been a new "Epstein" for years now it's just that we don't know who it is, just like how Epstein was completely under the radar (at least from the publics perspective) for half of his life. And probably one of the biggest reasons people are still trying to hide it. Because a lot of the people involved are probably still involved although with a different person.

Edit: I also highly doubt that the Tate's are really even that high up in this sex trafficking operation. They're just recruiters.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Trump in league with sex offenders?! I’m shocked and chagrinned.

I just don’t get it - why would Sleepy Joe Biden do this??

[-] No1@aussie.zone 29 points 1 day ago

Extradited back to the US.

Trump pardons them.

After an appropriate donation, of course.

[-] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Donation? I would put 3 kalshibucks that they were working for him and Jeffy the whole time.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It’s a huge sex trafficking ring that even includes hip hop and the sociopath class. The blacked part of the Epstein files is what will make you all lose faith in humanity.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

I can't really speak to this, but this is supposed to be a lot of them unmasked. Take it with a grain of salt.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Not even if shitpop or hip hop is not in this shit show its just the tip of the shitberg.

This is just like 4 women everyone already knew were involved

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I still can't even read what they've released already without getting triggered.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

For Republicans being a pedophile rapist is a feature, not a bug.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

I'd say that's true for the upper Republicans, but the lower ones don't believe the upper ones are and we're just making this shit up. Except for the youth pastors, it's always the youth pastors.

I actually don’t think all of them are in disbelief; suspect a lot of republicans are either indifferent to pedophilia/rape or fantasize about it themselves

I'd like this gif to stop being so relevant but:

[-] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Release the files and the texts

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

We doing the Mueller Time thing again? How'd that work last time?

Okay all I'm getting from this is that Tate is trying to groom Barron trump - being a pimp, and given how he boasts about it here - it comes across as actual sexual grooming rather than the somewhat more acceptable political radicalisation grooming

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

He's a convicted rapist who figures prominently in the Epstein Files. This is nothing in comparison.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Are you suggesting there’s another look for them?
