I’ve thought of this series given the context of what’s happening. Group of powerful men assaulting young women.
All that might very well be. I just don't know any politician well enough to take those kinds of short odds. It doesn't gain me to trust them and I don't lose by distrusting them.

Virginia recounted in numerous interviews that Trump did nothing improper.
Virginia wrote in her book that Trump did nothing improper.
Virginia testified under oath in a deposition that Trump did nothing Improper.
She’s not afraid of standing up to powerful men as she went against Prince Andrew and the Royal Family.
Has any other woman in the Epstein orbit come forward to accuse Trump of any sexual misconduct? You know the answer.
Wow!
Megyn Kelly has a 16-17 year-old son, a 13-14 year-old daughter, and a 12ish son.
At what age is she good with them attending an Epstein, Trump, Matt Gaetz, Roger Ailes party?

Per my rant a few pages ago... "Hey, he hung out with a pedo / sex trafficker, talked about grabbing women by the pu--y, made remarks about how sexy his daughter was, bragged about walking in on teens dressing at a beauty pageant, cheated on his third wife with a porn star, made countless adolescent comments about women on the Howard Stern show. But there is no concrete evidence that he actually had sex with an underage girl, so he's cool, and besides, my stock portfolio is up!" Damn, man, those are some low standards.

Said this to wife a few days ago...
I honestly do not believe Trump diddled underage girls with Epstein. I do think there was totally a 'game recognizes game' and they were aligned in their pursuits of pleasures.
But I think trump had his own supply (and probably not under 18, at least as known). Trump has often stated his ways, even quoted previously with Billy Bush, that shares the same mindset completely with Epstein. Trump didn't need Epstein to get laid (unlike guys like Dershowitz and others), so while they almost assuredly are birds of a feather, not sure they shared a trough.

I've never thought much of Megyn Kelly, but that statement is just way, way beyond the pale. I've posted this before, but the fall from influential and celebrated (on the right) Fox News superstar to ignored and irrelevant podcaster/third-rate dinky news network talking head is a rude one, and I suspect this appalling "defense" of abusing 15-year-old girls is one way of getting publicity, even negative publicity. Much like Tucker Carlson just a few days ago cozying up to full-blown Nazis in a desperate effort to regain the spotlight, even via negative attention.
They're all grifters by default. She might actually believe some of the horrible things she says, but she's grifting first.

This -- and the list Tangled posted above -- is why I doubt Trump will be criminally implicated here. (That and the whole previous Justice dept factor!)
Getting whacked off by willing teenage girls wasn't his kink. Trump liked the chase and the power thrill of the "conquer".
Not saying he didn't grab some low hanging fruit, and nothing he could have done would surprise me, but just don't see him being shown to have committed crimes with Epstein.
The morality of it all, the utter disgusting nature of both men and their friendship is a different story, and should (I pray) have actual lasting political implications.
I just think folks trying to say "Trump IS a pedo" are setting him up for success, such as can be found. But if that is the bar -- Trump fucked like Matt Gaetz -- then Trump will likely clear it.
No reason to even give him the chance for that type of "win" here, imo

Nah, he probably is still a pedophile, and most likely was involved with some of Epstein's sex trafficking victims, even if they weren't underage. He has definitely sexually assaulted women.

I would say he unlawfully diddled young girls knowing the level of his narcissism and power.

Wouldn't it be so much easier had you voted for a guy that there was no question had never done anything to underage girls?
Instead of one that there's so much circumstantial evidence that there's constant questions about him?
I'm so glad that I didn't vote for someone that I would always question the things they have done to young women.

I do not disagree that there is a high likelihood he did. But I do not think it will be shown here and do not think that was his "regular".
I think his "regular" was almost as bad, certainly as demented by his narcissistic/meglomaniacal traits, but as I stated before, I think he had his own supply for the most part
