According to Mark Halperin who revealed on Thursday that everyone believes a blockbuster exposé about the relationship between President Donald Trump and the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein is about to drop.
There's a video on Mediate with Halperin, Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine discussing it. I'm not going to link it. Somebody else can.
One of the points of this platform, in the age of transparency, is to narrow the gap between elites like Dan [Turrentine], and Sean [Spicer], and the people like the 2WAY community and myself. So let me share something with you that everyone, I say that in air quotes, everyone I know knows hasnt been publicly reported. Everyone I know believes a major newspaper, one of the top three newspapers in the country, is about to publish a piece about President Trumps relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Okay? Everyone I know knows that. And people in the White House know that, too. When that story drops, if it drops today, and some people think it might, it could drive the day, began Halperin before asking Turrentine and Spicer if they had heard about the story.

Looks like it may be happening.

They're not reacting to this one very well.

(60,414 posts)He is not on our side. Before he was fired for sexual harassment, he wrote a book on the 2004 election that strangely called Matt Drudge our Edward Murrow, glorifying a completely made up story of Kerry paying a huge amount to color, cut and style his hair. The Kerry campaign and the hair salon completely denied the story stating he had a routine hair cut before the day was out.
As to where he is now, here is a current article on yahoo about his appearance on Fox News where he blasts the NYT for not getting Republican comments on their Biden autopen story. High in the article he says Biden delegated the giving of pardons. Now, I read the article and Biden says he ordered the pardons. This is not an innocent mistake. There is a HUGE difference between signing the individual pardons by autopen and not being involved.

Not saying I am confident in it, just that I wouldn't rule it out because of his smarmy, right wing fuck wittery as a pundit. This would burnish his profile if people his name got thrown around as someone who said it was coming.

(60,414 posts)that ends up being debunked. Then like Russia, Russia Russia hoax, which was at least in part true and people like Manaford were indicted and went to jail, they would use ANY element being untrue to add it to the untrue things Trump has been accused of.

(60,414 posts)than things in the public domain. A few examples, Access Hollywood, his comments on Ivanka, his comments on walking into Teen USA changing rooms, his comment about Epstein liking younger girls. Then think of all the photos and videos, plus people who knew of their friendship.
However, it may be difficult to prove or disprove if the letter is what it is said to be. Maxwell is in prison, Epstein is dead. Even if others agreed they sent "their" letters it doesn't prove anything. Maybe, we should just say that while unseemly, the letter is not a huge issue.... but it is disconcerting that his long term memory is so poor he forgot.
99% of the JE / DT stuff getting tossed around now was known all along. Nothing really has changed, him and HE were bffs for a long darn time, lots of video, pics, interviews, newspaper and magazine articles w them connected, all the horrible clips of him being a general perv and kid perving
