Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain,” Cheung told the Daily Beast
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the answer from the fucking White House communication director when he was asked to comment.
When I hear this kinda response, it just makes me find the claims more believable.
Like whenever this admin comes out with this kind of rhetoric, it usually means the accusation is true.
Yeah this is definitely something a guilty person wants their press team to say.
I always skip over Cheung's quotes and I advise you to do the same. He's been performing his shtick for years and has never once added value to anything.
Tou spelled "Medvedev" wrong
I sure hope the Democratic Party starts calling out Murc's Law if they ever get any power back. The Republican Party can do this stuff all the time, but the Tone Police come out to start wagging their fingers at anyone to the left of Goebbels over breaking decorum or some "civility" norms. And while these Tone Police are quite often outright Republicans, the Democrats will go along with them, often joining in.
Sadly, it goes all the way down to the trenches, too. You'll agree with some leftists on 98% of policy, and they'll want to endlessly lecture if they found you used a word or phrase or argument that offends them. This happens mostly online in certain corners of the 'net, but it also happens IRL. I got lectured about having a focus on issues of class is not "intersectional" enough, and by implication, makes me a racist. This kind of thing is exactly how the elites want things to go, by the way. Pointing this out meant I have not ~~done enough struggle sessions~~, excuse me, have not read enough queer/feminist/whatever lit and I need to "check my privilege". None of this hairsplitting and maximalist identity politics is doing any good. It will never lead to the equivalent of an FDR making sweeping changes to help society overall.
I guess my point is I wish liberals would start embracing frank speech, at all levels, and stop worrying about offending people, most especially offending Republicans, "independents" and "centrists".
Exactly. There's no way large scale change can happen in society as long as those who want that change are arguing about the details and are too busy trying no to offend their allies.
Leaders have known for centuries that sowing division is the best way to keep power to themselves.
But, for much of the source material behind his books, he has tapes. People say things and he quotes them. But those tapes are probably priceless and should be super-backed-up.
They gotta be children or it’s not really going to matter. The article says “young” but that is not specific.
Those pictures wouldn't be in a locked safe...
And as a reminder, Trump's DOJ swallowed up the contents of Epstein's safe into a black hole.
It wasn't just blackmail.on him, it was all fo Epstein's dirt on the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world.
These are Epstein girls, not Hugh Hefner's girls.
The identities of the girls and the birth dates need to be established for this to be the damning evidence people want it to be.
I give it at least 50/50 odds we could have video of donald trump murdering a baby through sodomy and it wouldn’t be “damning evidence”.
You also need to establish the date the photo was taken. I didn’t read the article so I don’t know if they are analog photos with the date printed or if it’s a digital printed photo that doesn’t have the date. Either way, you need both to establish a crime as opposed to creepy but legal.
The article said very little about the actual photos besides that they existed and that the girls were young. I certainly don’t want to sound like I am in support of Trump, but that is not evidence and it doesn’t say anything.
There's nothing wrong with expecting good quality evidence. Many criminals have gotten away because the evidence was crap or obtained the wrong way.
It is absolutely evidence, but the evidence isn’t conclusive and doesn’t prove anything by itself. If you can get someone to testify that they are in the picture and what date it is, you have a stronger case.
At the very least, if the person in the photo is underage at that time, you can paint a pretty damning picture for the right jury. Furthermore if the person in the photo is underage and testifies to sexual conduct, you have an extremely good case because the fact that there is a picture of them together gives her immense credibility. I’m not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure sexual conduct with a minor has always been sexual assault and illegal so…
There is no evidence. There is testimony about inconclusive evidence. Those photos may or may not exist at all.
Let me give you an example of what this is: I saw a photo of you fucking a child. Is this evidence?
(No, it’s not.)
That last part wasn’t really necessary.
I was under the impression that the DOJ has the ability to confirm the existence of the photos because they have access to the safe or the contents therein.
Maybe I should have read the article. It’s more speculative than I was led to believe from the comments lol
Considering you did not read the article and were Fighting, admittedly, based on Internet comments… I’d say that last part was going easy on you. What we need less of in this world is people pushing information just because it feels good. That’s how we get so much right wing misinformation…. Let’s not be them.
Wolff said Epstein once stepped out of the room during a discussion about Trump and came back holding about a dozen snapshots that resembled Polaroids.
Do Polaroids print dates? I was thinking like old point and shoot cameras
They do not
Who CARES? We've ALL seen Topless GIRLS!
-Republicans showing up Armed to Drag Shows and making Porn ILLEGAL!
More proof comes out every single day that maga loves a pedo.
It's almost as if pizzagate was a projection on their part.
A search for thus story shows it all over - but nowhere on corporate news.
Stop talking about what you’ve seen and show the world. Show, don’t tell, or you’ve got nothing.
"In the third picture, [trump]’s wearing light pants and there’s a stain on the front of his trousers,” Wolff added. “And the girls—three, four, four or five as I remember—are pointing at the stain and laughing. And that is what I remember.”
Wolff said Epstein once stepped out of the room during a discussion about Trump and came back holding about a dozen snapshots that resembled Polaroids.
“There were specifically three that I remember—and this is now almost 10 years ago—but the three that I remember are two in which topless young women, and I don’t know the ages of these women, but they are young, are sitting in Trump’s lap. And this is outside Jeffrey Epstein’s house in Palm Beach, around the swimming pool,” he said.
“In the third picture, he’s wearing light pants and there’s a stain on the front of his trousers,” Wolff added. “And the girls—three, four, four or five as I remember—are pointing at the stain and laughing. And that is what I remember.”
Michael Wolff is not suicidal.
Great, then publish them
Release the Epstein files and pictures!
"... I don't know the ages..."
End of story.
