Nixon was "part of the crime"... Epstein was "part of the crime"... lol... yes, you're being an idiot. These guys were the ring leaders, not "part of the crime." The were part and parcel, not part of.Really? Do you think I’m a moron? I would hope you’d give me—and @steross—more credit than this.
Some words have many applications. I intentionally did not use the term “scapegoat” because it strongly suggests innocence. Epstein obviously was a central figure and guilty as hell. It doesn’t mean this whole thing has been exposed though. You’re grasping at strawmen.
“Related to this usage, a fall guy can be a part of a crime, but left to take all of the blame, allowing the other criminals to go free.“What is a Fall Guy? - Spiegato
A fall guy is a man, or occasionally a woman, who serves as a kind of scapegoat, taking the blame for something they may or may not have been a part of. Itspiegato.com
But then conspiracy theories make otherwise rational people unhinged.
The women are real, but they weren't facing the death penalty. Supposedly? At least not all 8 as far as I can tell. Either way, I think it is another case of Trump believing everything he reads on the internet. Unless it is something bad about him.Per this article the women are real

Nixon and Epstein were LITERALLY part of the crime. But if you want to argue semantics and split hairs so everything aligns with your “hot take”—as you seem prone to do—by all means continue to do so.
The condescension is really cute, BTW. I can think of another person who claims people who disagree with him are idiots and unhinged. I have a suggested closing for all your posts:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Crypto billionaire accuses Trump family’s World Liberty of ‘criminal extortion’
Crypto tycoon Justin Sun sued the Trump family’s crypto venture, accusing World Liberty Financial of “criminal extortion” for freezing valuable digital tokens over his refusal to invest more money with the company.The lawsuit, filed late Tuesday in a California federal court, said Sun remains “an ardent supporter of President Trump and the Trump family,” but that World Liberty’s managers “see the project as a golden opportunity to leverage the Trump brand to profit through fraud.”
The lawsuit underscored Sun’s dramatic turn from early and vocal supporter of the Trump-backed company to its critic-in-chief.
The Chinese-born billionaire accused World Liberty of blocking him from selling WLFI tokens he began to amass in late 2024, just after Trump’s re-election. Sun initially bought $30 million’s worth of WLFI tokens, making him the first significant investor in the then nascent project.
World Liberty’s Chief Executive, Zach Witkoff, said the lawsuit was a “desperate attempt to deflect attention from Sun’s own misconduct,” calling the claims “entirely meritless.”
“He engaged in misconduct that required World Liberty to take action to protect itself and its users,” Witkoff wrote on X.
Earlier this month, after Sun aired criticism on X, World Liberty tweeted, “See you in court pal.”
At the time of his WLFI purchase, Sun was facing fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC requested a court halt the lawsuit soon after, and last month Sun settled the case without admitting wrongdoing. A spokesperson for Sun has said his investment decisions weren’t politically motivated.
Early investors in WLFI, a so-called governance token that grants holders the ability to vote on some of World Liberty’s operations, weren’t initially permitted to sell their tokens. That changed last September, when World Liberty said it would allow 20% of their holdings to be traded. Sun’s tokens, however, were blocked from sale.
World Liberty said at the time on X: “We respond when alerted to malicious or high-risk activity that could harm community members,” without mentioning Sun.
The company told Sun privately that identification information he submitted when he bought the WLFI tokens was inadequate, according to the lawsuit, but World Liberty later refused to provide Sun additional information on the matter.
The lawsuit accused Chase Herro, a World Liberty executive who co-founded the company along with Trump’s three sons, of threatening to report Sun to U.S. authorities over the alleged inadequate identification if Sun tried to unfreeze his tokens through litigation.
Sun’s lawyers called the alleged threat “a pressure tactic that itself qualifies as criminal extortion.”
If World Liberty hadn’t frozen Sun’s WLFI tokens, he could have made $276 million from their sale in September, the lawsuit said, requesting the company pay damages.
In the lawsuit, Sun said he believed the company froze his tokens because he was unwilling to support World Liberty’s USD1 stablecoin, the company’s flagship product, which launched early last year as a tool for international payments.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to match the value of a traditional currency, in USD1’s case the dollar. World Liberty invests the dollars backing its stablecoin’s value in Treasury bills and keeps the interest income. The more USD1 in circulation, the more the company earns.
World Liberty’s team tried to convince him last year to buy hundreds of millions of dollars of USD1, and promote its use on his Tron blockchain network, since retail demand for the tokens was “underwhelming,” the lawsuit said. By August, Sun hadn’t agreed to buy USD1, so he alleged World Liberty restricted his ability to transfer his WLFI.
USD1 has a market value of $4.2 billion, making it the fifth-largest stablecoin. World Liberty said this month it expects to earn about $160 million from the stablecoin’s reserves over the next year. USD1 first drew major support when an Emirati state investor used the stablecoin to invest $2 billion in the Binance crypto exchange. Binance took steps to boost usage of the stablecoin while its founder, Changpeng Zhao, sought a pardon from Trump, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
Binance has said neither the exchange nor Zhao has helped or financed World Liberty. World Liberty has said it never facilitated or influenced Trump’s decision to pardon Zhao. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said previously that “neither the president nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest.”
The lawsuit also alleges World Liberty froze Sun’s WLFI tokens because the company was upset he had bought $100 million of the $TRUMP memecoin, which was sold by a different Trump-backed company called Fight Fight Fight. Sun has said the purchase made him the biggest holder of $TRUMP coins.
Last May, he attended a VIP dinner at Trump’s golf club outside Washington, D.C., with other $TRUMP investors.

'Whatever I’m doing, it seems to be working very well': Trump when asked by BBC about 'civilisation' threats
US President Donald Trump has told the BBC that "whatever I’m doing, it seems to be working very well" when asked about his threats towards Iran.
The BBC's North America editor Sarah Smith spoke to the president in a brief phone call, in which she asked if his statement earlier this month that a "a whole civilisation will die tonight" was a threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran.
"The other side is dying to make a deal," he replied. "So whatever I’m saying or whatever I’m doing, it seems to be working very well. Thank you very much."
On Nato, Trump said the US "didn't need them at all" in its war with Iran but that they "should've been there".
When Smith asked why, then, he wanted them to join the war, Trump replied: "Because I wanted to see whether or not they would be involved."
He said the US has "always been for" the UK and Nato, and criticised the UK for not making "at least a minimal effort and at least nicer words".
He added that "many people from the UK" have let his administration know how "incredibly bad a decision" it was for the UK to not get involved in the war (the UK has only allowed the US to use its bases for "defensive" air strikes).
Earlier in the call, Trump said he believed his relationship with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could "recover" if he "opened the North Sea" and if his "immigration policies became strong" - but added that "if he doesn’t, I don’t think he has a chance".
This really should be illegal for a public official to spout lies with no evidence undermining our election system.

This line in the article blew my mind as a government prosecutor....."The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison."
I'd never be allowed to even come close to touching a case involving a former client of mine where I was their defense counsel. Yet somehow, this is apparently rife throughout the DOJ now. We've known about all the "former lawyers" of Trump now making calls about prosecutions of his enemies, and that's corrupt as hell in my book. This, IMO, is at a whole other level. Trump didn't even bother to get a loyal lackey with no prior connection to the Tate Brothers to make the call. They're not even interested in "semi-plausible deniability" anymore.
You’re referencing this statement, right?
“As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person…”

It may need to be better known who Trump's mentor and close lawyer buddy was the late Roy Cohn. This article explains Cohn goes clear back to the 1950s: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/co...mp-rule-of-law-legal-profession-20260412.html But first an interesting FB commentary by journalist Bil Browning:
Donald Trump didn't invent his playbook. He learned it from a gay man.
Roy Cohn was the chief counsel for Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s, the man behind the Red Scare witch hunts that destroyed hundreds of careers by branding people as communists. Cohn personally helped purge gay and lesbian employees from government jobs at the same time.
He spent the next few decades as New York's most feared fixer, representing mob bosses, the Catholic Archdiocese, and Studio 54 with equal enthusiasm.
Then he met a young real estate developer named Donald Trump and taught him everything he knew. Never admit defeat. Attack everyone who comes at you. Lie without hesitation. Use the press like a weapon. Cohn also introduced Trump to Roger Stone, who would later run his first presidential campaign.
Cohn was gay. Openly, flamboyantly gay to anyone paying attention. He summered in Provincetown. He brought his young blond boyfriends to conservative fundraisers. He was what Stone delicately called "a man who liked having sex with men."
He also spent his entire career making life hell for other gay people.
When AIDS hit, Cohn got sick. He insisted until his last breath that he had liver cancer. His death certificate told a different story, listing dementia and HIV infection as contributing factors. He died in 1986, disbarred, broke, and owing millions to the IRS. Trump had already stopped taking his calls. He didn't come to the funeral. According to a book by Wall Street Journal reporters, Trump had Mar-a-Lago fumigated after Cohn visited once his HIV status became known.
The man who made Trump everything he is died of AIDS, abandoned by the movement he spent his life serving, and dumped by the protege he created. His AIDS Memorial Quilt panel reads: "Roy Cohn: Bully. Coward. Victim." He was all three.
