Because if he had answered 'yes' he would have incriminated himself, whereas if he had answered 'no' he would have perjured himself. He escaped between the horns of a dilemma by taking the 5th.

You all have forever espoused the 'why' that people say and do things. Shouse is the master at that.
You just flippantly throw this one out, without a scintilla of thought. Like it is the end all and be all. How bout you instead say that it is unlikely that there is any nefarious basis for what he won't answer, since over all these years not ONE scintilla of evidence has surfaced putting Trump with the girls?
It would be more interesting, rather than what you and Shouse think.zzzzz If he were with the girls, where is the beef??
I myself, do not say he was or wasn't....I don't know. I sure don't want 100 posts about speculation.

Let's start with the testimony of the victims.
@AverageJoe1 saidAnd you believed your Lord Trump. You don't want 100 posts about speculation. Well then, call up your senators, your congressmen and tell them to release the Epstein files.

Quote:
Last year, the Biden administration allowed Finance Committee investigators to look at portions of the file in person over at the Treasury building.
Here is some of what it says.
Treasury’s Epstein file details 4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just ONE of Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that’s 4,725 potential lines of investigation right there.
Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts -- that’s even more to investigate.
The file shows Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking. A lot of the women and girls he targeted came from Russia, Belarus, Turkey and Turkmenistan.
Again, these are all potential leads the Department of Justice ought to be digging into. This is about years and years of international sex trafficking. None of this is a hoax. None of it is a scam. It’s insulting to the intelligence of the American people when Trump and Bondi say there’s nothing here to investigate.

Now, don't go blaming the Biden administration for not pursuing this. Biden is 'dead'. What is suspicious is that Trump is not pursuing this.

@sonhouse saidForget the files; release the videos! I'll bet you all the chocolate pralines you can eat in a month that Epstein was running a blackmail racket. (Block out the victim's faces, of course--we just want to see the fat cats who paid for sex with under-age girls).
And you believed your Lord Trump. You don't want 100 posts about speculation. Well then, call up your senators, your congressmen and tell them to release the Epstein files.

You people are pathetic.
Please tell us all why the Biden administration had 4 years to release the "files" but chose not to?
Epstein was locked up in 2019.
Why didn't the Democrats release the files?
Please tell us why the Democrats didn't release any info on Trump during his campaign?
Go look in a mirror and you'll see stupid.
@sonhouse saidY'all are on about Epstein, He is dead, I don't care, myself. Donald is my only concern. You seem to have realized he is not found complicit with girls. Thankyou. You have done George Floyd, Jan 6 and are wrapping up Epstein. Yay, What will be next. zzx

@chessgirlzzz saidYou're way off. Epstein came to the attention of the FBI already in 2005 when Bush was president.

In July 2007 July: Epstein's attorneys meet with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. The top prosecutor was then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (who in 2017 would become President Trump's Labor Secretary). The U.S. Attorney's Office offers to end its investigation if Epstein pleads guilty to two state charges and agrees to accept a prison term, register as a sexual offender, and set up a way for his victims to obtain monetary damages.
The much-criticized deal includes a controversial nonprosecution agreement, or NPA, in which the federal prosecutor's office grants immunity to Epstein, four co-conspirators, and "any potential co-conspirators," the Justice Department says. Prosecutors agree not to tell Epstein's victims about the NPA, which is filed under seal.

Why weren't the co-conspirators prosecuted then? Why weren't Epstein's 'clients' prosecuted then? Why were the victims not informed?
Who looks pathetic now, eh?

We're not believing his infantry of DOJ personnel who spent weeks redacting his name from the files.
@AverageJoe1 saidSo if and when the full Epstein report is released AND Trump is named dozens of times AND indications he indeed DID diddle 14 year olds, you would just go boys will be boys and give him yet another bye for a corrupt existence.
