In reply to the discussion: It appears Trump knew what Epstein was doing. [View all]Wiz Imp
(8,081 posts)31. I don't think it's hard to understand at all.
But fact is, at this point there is not a single piece of public evidence connecting him to Epstein's illegal activities. On the other hand, there is tons of evidence connecting him to abusing women on his own.
However, there now seems to be further proof that he knew what was going on which means he shares culpability for probably hundreds of girls Epstein victimized. If he had reported Epstein for his heinous activities, he could have saved hundreds of girls from being raped. On top of that, failing to report was itself a crime - a felony.

my reading of this part of the email is that blackmail was at least hinted at

Exactly. What was he doing in the "hours" he spent with one of these girls? Reading her bedtime stories?

I agree. I'm not defending Wolff and I don't think he is completely trustworthy
