If you're an 'excellent secretary of labor' it doesn't matter what you've done in your past.

Because he knows Epstein will talk , and next thing he'll claim he's a liar and a crook , and he hardly knew him. Maybe threaten him with suggestions he will be hurt in one way or another if he talks, but he will talk anyway, and trump is scared now because he can put him away too. He'll do stuff like that with Mueller too, and he will tamper with both witnesses.

Within an hour of the report that Barr will not recuse himself, Trump starts talking about not knowing Epstein and feeling sorry for Acosta.

Sure its a huge coincidence.

But now there are five threads about him "clarifying" his statement and not being recused from the SDNY case.

Which leads most people to wonder why Trump forced him to un-recuse himself.

to cover his own ass in his association with such men like himself. Except for John McCain, who despite his politics at times, WAS a man of honor and conviction.

"Not a fan" ends the discussion in his mind, because he truly believes that everyone will adopt his opinion.

Trump would continue defending Epstein if this weren't so outrageous. And guilty by association if he didn't detach himself.

Now, that being said, Trump IMO would be inclined to pardon if Epstein offered him money to do so.

right after Epstein told Trump about the secret recording of Trump f'ing a 15 year old, all of a sudden Trump realized that Jeffrey wasn't such a great guy after all

Maybe offer up some bible quotes 'proving' that girls are supposed to be pregnant by that age anyway.

The usual rot.

This is what Trump always does.

It is a lie—as is virtually everything he says.

He may ultimately claim that he never met him.
