Jeffrey Epstein's Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump.
Source: Wall Street Journal
The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter is a fake thing.
It was Jeffrey Epsteins 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epsteins family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump.

(21,362 posts)From WSJ (thanks hlthe2be):
The letter bearing Trumps name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdylike others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the womans breasts, and the future presidents signature is a squiggly Donald below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

(1,197 posts)Is it too optimistic to think, maybe this is the one thing he calls fake and they realize if this isn't fake then maybe he was lying about all of those other things aren't fake. The Russia thing, the Stormy Daniel's thing, the E.Jean Carrol thing, the lies about his financial success, the contributions, his love of God and Country, etc., etc., etc..

(21,362 posts)then the next one and the next pretty soon, the cloak is gone and all the top secret criminality is open for all to see. The scales have started to fall from MAGA eyes. May they see what has cursed our nation for so long.

(36,267 posts)It isnt clear how the letter with Trumps signature was prepared. Inside the outline of the naked woman was a typewritten note styled as an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, written in the third person.
Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything, the note began.
Donald: Yes, there is, but I wont tell you what it is.
Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.

Jeez, most 13-year-old boys have more maturity than this creep.

Who knew the guy would one day steal bankers boxes full of top secret defense information, refuse to return it, and then lie about it to government investigators after hes left office?
Language is a wonderful thing, a record of wisdom. Trumps dialogue with a pal flows like it came from the pen of John Barron, anonymous publicist.

(19,905 posts)Saying "release the letter". TACO Don does not want the letter released , but JD Vance does.
TACO goes up against Rupert Murdoch, TACO will be scorched in public, further humiliated and Vance becomes POTUS possibly. Imagine the horror of Vance. I shudder in my boots.

(21,362 posts)Thanks for the heads-up. I can already see Lawrence's barely contained glee as he pronounces every syllable:
"WE have CER-tain things in com-mon, JEF-frey."
And the best part is that justice may be coming for the person who has gotten away with bringing harm and death to others.

(8,671 posts)The cover up is usually worse than whatever it is. The denials when he could just say .. it was a funny nonsense between friends.
Another time, Another place.
People would think 🤔 ok.
But , it is now part of a attempted cover up and is suspicious.
Here and now.

(21,362 posts)Remember Kenneth Starr, special prosecutor who looked where Lucianne Goldberg and Brett Kavanaugh told him to look?
From Rolling Stone:
In addition to Alan Dershowitz, attorney Kenneth Starr yes, that Ken Starr also defended Epstein in 2007 and reportedly played a significant part in helping to secure his plea agreement, according to Dershowitz. Also according to Dershowitz, the lawyer who investigated the Monica Lewinsky scandal was recruited to help Epstein because Starr had experience in investigating sex investigations. He had experience as the solicitor general and as a judge. He had all the bases covered, he told the Daily Beast in 2015. Along with Dershowitz, Starr was also listed as a recipient of emails from Florida prosecutors discussing withholding the terms of the plea agreement from Epsteins alleged victims.

(86 posts)Trump killed Epstein, or extracted Epstein when the camera were disabled.
Epstein was either murdered or was sent to a US underground base where they do pet a file stuff to kids.

Nicholas Tartaglione denied making the marks on Epsteins neck when the presidents friend was found unresponsive in his cell the first time.
https://yonkerstimes.com/dirty-westchester-ex-cop-is-epsteins-cell-mate/
Epstein, for some reason, said he didn't like it when he woke up and found the killer ex-cop's hands around his neck.
Proof someone high up wanted to shut Epstein up before there had been a trial, let alone conviction.
