My guess would be that he knows a lot. He probably knows how much Donald Trump was involved in the sex trafficking business? He probably knows that Mr Trump used it as an incentive for his Russian and Saudi customers? He probably understands that it was one of the biggest sex trafficking rings in the world?
But he could never tell. He just wants to get out of jail.

(11,885 posts)And trump was caught up in it too? Maybe trump was blackmailing others too by setting them up with sex and either blackmailing them or corrupting them to say give them sweetheart deals for himself or his close friends? Wouldn't surprise me if Cohen knew about many things trump was doing , or a lot worse stuff.

(111,069 posts)...that was later sold to a Russian for about a $50 million dollar profit?
That leads me to believe that Epstein, like Trump, was in the money-laundering business. That is where he made his money. The records now being handed over by Deutsch Bank and others, may give some major clues?
It is just my opinion, but I believe Trump was running the sex trade out of Mar-a-Lago before he persuaded Epstein to move it to his properties. It was Trump that was running the beauty contests for teenagers and had access to young girls, before Epstein came along. If there was money to be made, Trump would insist that he get his cut.

I get hoping something takes trump down, but I don't think Epstein is it either.

(384 posts)the only humanity I glean in the guy is that he loves his kids. If Trump was sexually trafficking minors, or abusing children, i don't think that would be a "confidence" that can ever be shared even with an inner circle because it is too dangerous. If it happened, Cohen didn't know.

(25,183 posts)knew anything about Epstein and Trump, he wouldn't be in prison right now. As for the Russians and especially the Saudis, they already have plenty of women to enslave sexually all on their own, and can get rid of them anytime they want. They wouldn't take a chance with a US-provided "honey pot", whether the provider was a US President or not.

(16,843 posts)if Cohen knows about the Epstein thing, it's probably rumors. I doubt he had first-hand experience with it. He would have revealed it already.
