Is anyone buying Trump called the police on Epstein?

[D_Master81]

I saw a story on the news this evening that it was actually Donald J Trump who called the police to alert them of Epstein’s crimes and how they should look into it. A police chief can even remember it was summer of 2006. Credit to NBC News for calling out the sketchiness of this when Trump is on camera in 2019 saying he had no idea what Epstein’s was up to after his arrest. Some MAGA cult police chief trying to save Trump’s ass probably.

1. Hell no.

Unless it was for some kind of revenge.

2. The police chief's claims have been shot full of holes.

Short version; the police chief is lying.

3. That was my comic relief of the afternoon -eom

4. I believe it

But Sting refused to answer the phone call from a con artist.

5. Yes.

If you go to any right wing site that discusses this and you'll find they have swallowed this hook, line and sinker.
Or listen to AM radio. Or Fox. Or Newsmax. Or X.

They are so relieved to use this excuse to say, "See! Trump is a good guy."

6. It's coordinated gaslighting.

Journalist Julie K. Brown has been reporting on Epstein for decades and she calls it a lie

To make clear: when Trump called the chief, it was after the Epstein story became public — when Epstein was arrested. Palm beach police had been investigating the case since 2005. My gift link to the story is here:

NEW: (gift) Trump told police in 2006: "Everyone" knew about Epstein, and that Maxwell was his "operative." https://miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article314631578.html?giftCode=a5e5e11d2a71646202b7acc3168ec166636d56a96b54f16012eb4f25f62311d4

9. Yep. He was afraid his name would come up, and he wanted to get the jump on that happening by

pretending he was being helpful.

10. This tracks (nt)

17. I wouldn't be surprised to learn his pseudonyms also called in to back his claims.

John Barron, David Dennison, and John Miller.

I also wonder if he knows what is being said by saying "Everyone knew". Everyone knew - but no one did anything.

11. Thank God for Julie K Brown

12. I'm unclear, who is JKB accusing of lying?

IOW, who falsely claimed that Trump was the FIRST one to call the cops, and that his call somehow instigated the investigation? Who/what outlet(s) promulgated that lie by framing it in those terms?

I mean it sounds like a really silly lie, given that Reitner said Trump said things like "I'm glad you guys are doing this", which *clearly* indicates a reactive rather than proactive position in the situation.

Seems ludicrous anyone would frame this 2019 claim from Reitner as indicative of Trump being any kind of instigator, but we know how Fox, et al report shit about Trump

16. She's referring to the MAGA cultists lying about Trump being the hero in the story.

7. Gave me a flashback!

14. Roy Cohn had underage parties with Trump in the 1980s

Blue Suite in the Plaza hotel.

If trump was only there with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s to go after Epstein, that is a lie. Then...

Why not do the same with Roy Cohn, why not expose Roy Cohn. Why have over a dozen phone calls with Roy Cohn per day when Roy Cohn was the Epstein of Trump in the 1970s and 1980s with underage stuff.

15. I don't understand why he's say that.

Trump's admitting that HE knew about Epstein's crimes.

Everyone means everyone.
