In reply to the discussion: It appears Trump knew what Epstein was doing. [View all]Wiz Imp
(8,081 posts)40. You're reading way more into it than is there.
You've convinced yourself that an email confirms your preconceived opinion (which you have held for a long time prior to its release) when it does not come close to doing so. There is no way Epstein confessed to Michael Wolff that he was guilty of sex trafficking so this email does not mean what you think it does.

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

Michael Wolff should have said or done something, BUT he did not have first hand knowledge

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