Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm not sure who (Victim) in the email was, but I think the GQP's claim it was Virginia Guiffre is BS! [View all]
And here is why:
Heres the relevant segment from her 2015 testimony, summarized and directly quoted from court records:
She recanted earlier public statements implying Trump was present with girls at Epsteins.
She stated: I do not believe [Trump] had any knowledge of Epsteins misconduct with underage girls.
She denied seeing Trump act inappropriately or with any of Epsteins victims.

So far so good for the regime, right? This all makes saying " (Victim) was Virginia Guiffre" sound like a brilliant strategy for them. Like yeah, he spent hours with her there, but it was sunshine and rainbows! And conveniently for them, she cannot be contacted to confirm nor deny this assertion
Here's the problem for these liars, though, from the same deposition:
She confirmed: I never saw him at any of Epsteins properties.
These excerpts are from her court deposition during the 2015 Maxwell defamation trial, and represent her sworn account on the record

She cannot simultaneously have "spent hours at (Epstein's) place with (Trump) ", per the email, yet "never see him at any of Epstein's properties" per her testimony. These are mutually exclusive.
I think House Republicans were quick to blurt out Guiffre's name because they knew she had said exonerating things about Trump under oath. Leadership probably knew of the existence of these emails a long time ago, and had this angle prepared if they did come out.
But I bet they thought we'd all miss the part where she also testified, explicitly, under oath, and even in the very same sitting, that she was NEVER WITH TRUMP at Epstein's place!
Which leads to the question ... WHO IS (VICTIM), in actuality? Perhaps someone who could still be spoken to? Someone who does NOT have such exonerating words to share about him?
This particular enquiring mind wants to know. Why are they LYING about who (Victim) is?

Its my understanding that the redaction was done by the Democrats to shield victims.

Yes, but the subject is this particular email and who (Victim) is in that context

Wasn't Giuffre stationed at Trump's property until Epstein "stole" her?

Trumps full of it, of course, he didn't care about a towel girl going to work for Epstein
