    It’s really, really obvious that Trump was an Epstein client and equally obvious that he was an occasional co-conspirator. Admitting it is just highly inconvenient for a lot of people.

    More specifically, Epstein didn’t really actually WORK. Managing Wexner’s accounts likely didn’t take much time out of his day, and with how many flights we knew he was taking, it’s likely that his trafficking and “women on the younger side” took up a significant portion of his time. You simply are not “best friends” with a guy like that, and spend all the time with him that Trump did, without getting a lot of that mud splashed ALL over you.

    Michael Wolff did this interview where he said that Epstein dropped Trump because Epstein showed him the house that trump money laundered to the Russian oligarch.

    Basically, Epstein showed him the house and the deal was already in place. Trump went behind his back and out made a new deal for millions more. That the whole poaching of employees is completely made up and only came to be after his friendship came to light in politics.

    Also, Epstein was afraid of trump and though trump was the reason he was arrested.
