Or he cut a deal with the FBI to rat out other people to prevent charges
being filed against him.

Maria Farmer, reported that Epstein had assaulted her to both the NYPD and the FBI, and also mentioned Trump as Epstein's prominent associate, and that she met Trump in 1995 in Epstein’s office, when Trump ogled her and Epstein told him that “she’s not for you.” So the FBI could have questioned Trump about Epstein at some point, but that wouldn't absolve him of anything - unless he's one of the unnamed people in the Epstein plea deal whom Acosta agreed not to prosecute. I still think Trump's involvement with Epstein that he's trying so hard to hide has to do with a whole lot of dirty, possibly laundered money obtained through Epstein's international sex trafficking business.

Donny probably did tip-off the cops in 2004 but that tip came less than 2 weeks after Trump outbid Epstein for Lex Wexner's old mansion. Donny dropped a dime out of revenge, not righteousness.

Remember, Virginia Guiffre was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 at Mar a Lago. Two years later, Trump called Jeffrey a "terrific guy". Epstein was first arrested by Palm Beach police in 2006. It wasn't until 2007 that Epstein was barred from Mar a Lago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_L%27Amitie

The property of Maison de L'Amitié was formerly owned by Dun & Bradstreet family member Robert Dun Douglass. It was sold to tycoon Harrison Williams in 1930. Owner Jayne Wrightsman sold the house on May 1, 1985, for $10 million to Les Wexner. Three years later, on May 27, 1988, it was sold to Massachusetts nursing home magnate Abraham "Abe" D. Gosman for $12,089,500. Gosman built the mansion on the property and named it Maison de L'Amitié. On July 30, 1999, the house was put in the name of his wife, Linda C. Gosman. After Abe Gosman filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in 2003, the property went up for auction in 2004.[10]

In November 2004, Donald Trump bought the home for $41.35 million outbidding Jeffrey Epstein. Reportedly, losing the auction angered Epstein and led to the end of their relationship; for his part, Trump later said he banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club and called him a creep. Trump listed the home in early 2006 for $125 million. An employee of Trump Properties in Florida said that Trump had spent $25 million on renovations, while Trump himself claimed to have only spent around $3 million renovating the house. In March 2008, after cycling through several real estate brokers, Trump lowered the asking price to $100 million. On July 16, 2008, Trump sold the home to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev through his County Road Property LLC, for $95 million. At the time it was the most expensive residential property sale to ever occur in the United States.


Trump won that auction in mid-November, 2004. On November 28, 2004, the Palm Beach police got a tip:

On Nov. 28, 2004 — less than two weeks after the mansion auction — Palm Beach police fielded a tip that young women were seen coming and going from Epstein’s home, then-Police Chief Michael Reiter said in a deposition. Reiter declined to comment.


one correction: Lex Wexner once owned the property the mansion was built on but not the actual mansion. I apologize.

Edit: I see you amended your post to make the clarification about the property that I raise below. Thank you!

https://www.columbusmonthly.com/story/business/names-faces/2018/06/18/les-wexner-builds-house/986503007/

Then there's the Palm Beach story. In 1984, Wexner bought for $10 million the 28-room Wrightsman mansion, which was an unofficial landmark on the chichi island of the social upper crust. Wexner promptly demolished the estate. He planned to build in its place a 22,750-square-foot re-creation of the Petite Trianon at Versailles to be "fashioned through the vocabulary of 18th Century France"-complete with two guest suites, a living room, dining room, library, a master bedroom suite, an exercise room, a kitchen, breakfast room, staff dining room, laundry room, wine cellar, a workshop, storage rooms galore and a loggia, which is a roofed gallery overlooking an open courtyard.

And then there were the 3,000-square-foot tennis pavilion and the 4,000-square-foot pool cabana, which itself was big enough to house a family of three with its two bedrooms, two baths and 12-foot-high ceilings. So he could see what the house would look like, Wexner built on the site a façade of the proposed offwhite marble veneer, then tore that down.

The normally civilized voices of the Palm Beach moneyed set were raised in anger. Wexner endured community opposition and zoning board hassles-until 1988, when, with the house under construction, he said the-hell-with-it and sold the property for $12.1 million to a nursing home tycoon.

So Wexner never lived there. He immediately demolished the house once he bought it. He was building a replacement house on the land there but got fed up with Palm Beach bureaucracy and sold it before the new house was even finished. So, no, Epstein and Trump were not both bidding for "Wexner's old mansion". (However, I admit I was wrong about there being no connection linking the property to Wexner. I'm sorry about that.).

As for the police tip, do you seriously believe Trump called in that tip? Seriously?? I can find absolutely no reasonable grounds on which to believe that could be true. Even Trump himself has ever even made such a claim.

I still think Trump dropped a dime on Epstein, not for honor but because he's a petty, vindictive asshole. I don't think he was an FBI informant or was "working with the cops". I think he did it for some selfish reason like Epstein threatening to take him to court over that Florida property auction.

Less than two weeks after Trump won that acrimonious bid, someone called the Palm Beach police with a tip about Jeffery Epstein.

Of course Trump never admitted it in public. Criminals hate a snitch.

Did he confide (and embellish) his snitching to Mike Johnson? I think yes. Remember, Trump is famous for calling up reporters using fake names and dropping gossip.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think my theory is unreasonable.

...But the details of why Trump appears to have turned on Epstein are key too. Wolff lays out the details starting just after minute 32
" target="_blank">in this interview, which you can watch on Youtube. There’s a lot going on here. So I’ll try to walk you through the key points. (For more detail and flavor, I strongly recommend watching that five or six minute part of the interview.)

Epstein was trying to buy a South Florida estate. He brought Trump along to see it one time. A short time later Epstein found out that Trump had gone behind his back and placed a higher and ultimately successful bid on the property. He’d snatched it out from under him with a much higher bid. The problem was that Trump’s entire empire in 2004 was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. It made no sense that Trump was coming up with $41 million to buy this property. Epstein suspected that Trump was acting as a front for a Russian oligarch as a money-laundering scheme. And in fact Trump did purchase and flip the estate two years later to a Russian oligarch named Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million, or a profit of over $50 million dollars.

Epstein was pissed for his own reasons (he wanted the estate). But he also suspected the money laundering scheme. So he threatened Trump that he would bring the whole thing out into the open through a series of lawsuits. Right about this same time authorities got a tip about Epstein’s activities which started the investigation that led to his eventual 2008 plea deal...

To believe this ridiculous theory means having to believe separate statements from both Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, 2 of the most evil men in human history, are true. Nope. Not going to happen. Suffice to say that I can not find a single news story that supports the claim that Palm Beach Police began investigating Epstein in November 2004. Every single story I can find says that Palm Beach Police did not begin their investigation until March of 2005 and it was specifically prompted by a call from the mother of one of his victims. That's the last thing I'm going to say on this subject. Bye.

According to the lead FBI agent on the Florida case, “a majority of the victims” expressed concern about disclosure of their identities — including some whose parents didn’t know about their ties to Epstein — and some victims told the FBI they didn’t want anything bad to happen to Epstein.

“No victims expressed a strong opinion that Epstein be prosecuted,” the agent, E. Nesbitt Kuyrkendall, said in a court document.

Right there is the name of one of the FBI agents on the case. I find their claim that no victims expressed a strong opinion that Epstein be prosecuted hard to believe. In fact, I believe it was a lie to cover their own ass.

These comments from Epstein's lawyers including Alan Dershowitz are absolutely disgusting.
“The conduct is exaggerated,” one of Epstein’s lawyers said in an interview, speaking on the condition of anonymity because his former client hasn’t authorized him to comment. “I know of no rape. Basically, it’s a masturbation case, a misdemeanor, maybe. Most of the girls weren’t that young, maybe 16 to 20.”

“They were just massages that turned into a little more than massages,” said Alan Dershowitz, another of Epstein’s attorneys. “It seemed like a small case, a half-dozen massages by local people. They were all 18. Nobody heard of anybody, like, 14.”


I'm limited by fair use from copying more, but there is more in the article about tactics Epstein and his lawyers used on the victims. They all should have faced charges over that. Especially Dershowitz. However, that doesn't leave Acosta off the hook. Epstein's deal was ruled by a Judge to be illegal. I believe Acosta along with anybody else from DOJ and FBI who participated in and approved of the handling of the case need to face repercussions for their actions - even if it's 20 years later.
