Epstein is Trump's Watergate Scandal.

August 1974 and the historic resignation of President Richard Nixon who, after repeatedly denying involvement in the Watergate Building burglary, was caught out by his own tapes recording incriminating discussions.

At least he was still honourable enough to resign.

But Trump will have to be dragged out of the White House screaming and kicking and cursing because there isn't an atom of honour in the morally bankrupt reptile.

Bill Clinton seems to be a regular visitor to Epstein's party house as well. It seemed when the presidency passed from George H Bush to Bill Clinton and there was a generational change, things went downhill. Whatever else you might think of them, the Presidents America had in the seventies and eighties would never have befriended Epstein.

Will it be his Watergate?....Oh I do hope so

Let’s not try to re-write history by making most former presidents out to be more virtuous and upstanding than they were. We are in an age where lot’s of dirty laundry is more easily exposed. The former presidents are lucky they did not have the White House during the age of the internet and hacking. The entire Bush family is a red flag. Kennedy was a serial philanderer and Reagan was a prejudiced man whose policies vilified and further disadvantaged the underprivileged. Who knows who they rubbed shoulders with away from the public eye. Let’s also not forget that whatever one thinks of Bill Clinton (rightfully negative imo), Barak Obama needn’t be lumped into any group with him or Trump regarding his associations.

Bill Clinton has always been a sexual predator.
When he was governor of Arkansas his state troopers would procure women for him and not for consensual sex 🤬
Read and weep for these women.

Bill Clinton’s history of a predator is long

Trump’s faux sympathy for Clinton being exposed is also truly cringe making, he has no shame.

I agree BlessedArt.
