1. *Always* follow the money, and especially where Trump is concerned.

Money matters more to Trump than anything else. If the tangled web of Epstein's financial dealings can be unraveled I'm sure Trump's involvement will be discovered. Real estate transactions are a usual vehicle for money laundering, and we know Russians purchased properties from Trump (and probably from Epstein). Large sums of money financed Epstein's sex trafficking business, and he also made a lot of money from it, but how could he hide that money? His work at Bear Stearns and other finance operations had to do with finding tax havens and tax-avoidance methods for clients, and he would have used that knowledge to hide and channel the money had made from sex-trafficking. He and Trump were BFFs for 10-15 years, so don't tell me Trump, another real estate wheeler-dealer, wasn't involved in Epstein's financial ventures.
