@Stigma Rothschild group was subject to a tax investigation in 2015. Epstein had very high up government connections. Someone like him is useful when facing tax issues. Not sure what you think this document represents. It's like hiring Eric Holder for a legal matter when having someone on the legal team with certain political connections would be useful.

Put in any search term you're curious about.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

They didn't use the Epstein files against him, because there's nothing to it at far as he's concerned, and their own guys come out looking far worse.

• Mutually assured destruction

We've been over that before, they've kicked this football between themselves for a decade or so.

• Why flip flop on the files then?

• Why not release all of them?

• Why delete files mentioning Trump?

No really, he and (by proxy) his supporters need to pick a lane. There's still 3 million documents not released, claiming he is exonerated (parroting his words) is laughable.

@SeasonedRP

He was already rich in 2015

Right? You think you get a contract with the Rothschilds in 2015 for $25m as your first ever go at it? Why do I need to point out the inference that this is their middle history? Where Epstein comes from and his motivations are also published.

The other, to my mind, clear inference is who the money is circulating around - I can't sit here and spoon feed every single implication, at some point you're going to have to find the narrative thread yourself.

@Stigma He was already rich in 2015. It appears he was some kind of spy or arms dealer. Otherwise, Robert Mueller wouldn't have been involved when Epstein first got in trouble with the authorities in FL. But in any event, info like that won't be in the files of some schlub at the FBI, or any files for that matter.

Rothschild should consider hiring attorneys that don't misspell its name in contracts (fourth line). That aside, ostensibly this agreement is for consulting services in connection with a tax investigation the group was facing at the time. Hardly some smoking gun, as Epstein was putatively some kind of financial advisor.

@Stigma again:

if anything credible could have proven Trump committed any crime, the dems would have used it on him during the 4 years they controlled the Executive Branch via the walking carcass

Just look at all the ridiculous shit they tried to throw at him just to keep him from running again. They tried everything.

They didn't use the Epstein files against him, because there's nothing to it at far as he's concerned, and their own guys come out looking far worse.

@SeasonedRP

That won't be in any files, and we'll never get that information.

It is in the files. We know it's old money. We know it's the same old names and faces. If we can stop partisan stonewalling, and especially making reductive statements like "teens prostituting themselves" when the reality is they were raping children, and referring to them as different kinds of pizzas to be served up - we might get some way to talking about reality.

@Stigma Wealthy powerful men with teens prostituting themselves. Nothing new under the sun. I'm much more interested in the backstory on this guy and where he got his wealth. That won't be in any files, and we'll never get that information.
