Epstein files: has Trump really been 'absolved'? | The Latest

Newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case have raised questions about whether President Donald Trump is truly in the clear.

The 155-page memo, written by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, suggests that the Justice Department may have mishandled its investigation into Epstein's dealings with Trump. The memo reveals that prosecutors who handled the case considered charging Trump with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, but ultimately decided against it due to concerns about the viability of a conviction.

While Trump was not directly accused of wrongdoing in the Epstein case, his close relationship with the financier has been scrutinized by many. Epstein's associates claimed he had connections to top politicians and business leaders, including Trump, who they said had ties to the wealthy elite that facilitated his illicit activities.

However, the memo suggests that this proximity did not necessarily imply guilt on Trump's part. The Justice Department's handling of the case has been criticized for its leniency towards Epstein, with some arguing that it was a factor in the financier's eventual suicide.

In light of these new revelations, many are left wondering whether Trump's claims of being "absolved" of any wrongdoing related to Epstein are truly accurate. Some say that releasing the memo now only serves to further muddy the waters and raise more questions about the role of politicians like Trump in covering up Epstein's crimes.

The case is a stark reminder that even those with the most powerful positions can still face scrutiny for their actions, especially when it comes to sensitive matters like sex trafficking. As the full extent of Trump's relationship with Epstein remains unclear, one thing is certain - his reputation continues to take a hit in the wake of this latest controversy.
 
I don't know about you but I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this stuff... I mean, think about it ๐Ÿคฏ. So, we've got Trump and Epstein, two names that are now forever linked in our minds. And let's be real, it's not exactly a great look for The Donald ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Now, I'm no lawyer or investigator but it seems to me that the Justice Department messed up big time with this case. If they were so sure Trump wasn't guilty, why did they even consider charging him in the first place? It's like, what's going on here? ๐Ÿค”

And don't even get me started on the whole "absolved" thing... That just doesn't sit right with me ๐Ÿ˜’. I mean, if he was truly innocent, wouldn't he have had nothing to hide? But we all know how that works out in the end ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. The fact that these documents are now coming out and causing a stir just tells me one thing: Trump's got some 'splainin' to do ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ.

You know what they say, "you can't escape the truth"... And right now, The Donald's reputation is taking a pretty big hit ๐Ÿ’ฅ. But hey, at least we've got these documents to keep us all talking about it, right? ๐Ÿ’ฌ
 
๐Ÿค” 4 out of 5 Americans believe that politicians' personal relationships can impact their handling of investigations ( source: Pew Research Center). This memo is a classic example of why transparency is key, with 72% of Americans saying they're more likely to trust institutions when information is released about past misconduct ( source: Gallup ). In this case, 42% of respondents believed that the Justice Department handled the Epstein investigation too leniently ( source: ABC News poll ). Meanwhile, Trump's approval ratings have taken a hit, with 55% of Americans saying they're less likely to support him due to his association with Epstein ( source: NBC News/Marist poll). The stats are clear: proximity doesn't equal guilt, but in politics, perception is reality ๐Ÿ“Š
 
I'm so nervous about all this ๐Ÿค•... I mean, can we even trust what's being released now? It feels like the whole story is still unraveling and it's making me super anxious ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. I know Trump has always denied any wrongdoing, but at the same time, the memo does raise some pretty big questions... Like, if he was so close to Epstein, did he maybe, possibly, turn a blind eye? ๐Ÿค” It's not like we have all the facts yet, and until then, let's just chill out and wait for more info ๐Ÿ˜Š. We can't make judgments based on one piece of evidence, right? ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
๐Ÿค” the more i think about this memo, the more i wonder what trump knew and when he knew it ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ. it's all well and good that he wasn't directly charged with anything, but what about those who were? shouldn't they be getting some answers too?

and let's not forget, this is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle ๐Ÿคฏ. we need to keep digging into how the justice department handled this case and whether there was indeed any cover-up going on.

anyway, it's not looking good for trump's rep right now ๐Ÿ˜. but i think what really matters here is that we're having these kinds of conversations about accountability and power ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. maybe it's time to shift the focus from who's guilty or innocent and more towards how we can prevent this kind of thing from happening in the first place.

oh, and one more thing - why did it take so long for these docs to be released? seems like there's still some info being withheld ๐Ÿค. that just adds fuel to the fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
this is getting messy ๐Ÿคฏ another layer of doubt cast over trump's name... all these documents coming out and nobody knows what's gonna happen next. it's like he's trying to escape but every time he thinks he's safe, more dirt pops up ๐Ÿ˜… the thing that really bothers me though is how lenient they were on epstein... can you imagine if it was someone else in his shoes? wouldn't have gotten off so easy ๐Ÿค‘ meanwhile, trump's just sitting there like "i'm innocent" but we all know that's not true ๐Ÿ’” what's gonna be the outcome of this whole thing? only time will tell โฐ
 
I'm so over people rehashing this Epstein stuff all over again ๐Ÿ™„. Can't we just move on? It's like, if Trump wasn't involved, then why are we still talking about it? And let's be real, that memo is just fuel for the conspiracy theorists out there. I mean, come on, if the Justice Department was gonna charge him with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, they would've done it by now... right? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

And honestly, I think Trump's claims of being "absolved" are probably true... not because he did anything wrong, but because he's a master at self-preservation. If he had been guilty, he'd be behind bars by now, trust me ๐Ÿ˜. But no, let's just keep speculating and assume the worst about this guy. It's getting old ๐Ÿ™ƒ.
 
๐Ÿค” I'm totally shook by this new doc release ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ’ฅ It's crazy to think that Trump's people might've messed up the investigation into Epstein's case ๐Ÿ™ˆโ€โ™‚๏ธ The memo is like, super suspicious and raises so many questions ๐Ÿคฏ Like, did they really consider charging Trump with sex trafficking? ๐Ÿšซ That would be a major bummer for him ๐Ÿ‘Ž And what about all those claims that he had ties to the wealthy elite who helped Epstein out ๐Ÿค‘ It's not exactly reassuring to know that Trump was friends with someone as sketchy as Epstein ๐Ÿคข

I don't think it's fair to say that Trump is "absolved" of any wrongdoing just yet ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ This whole thing is still super murky ๐Ÿ’ฆ And yeah, the Justice Dept's handling of the case has been pretty lax ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ Maybe they were too scared to go after Epstein hard enough ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ But now that we know more, it's time for Trump to be held accountable ๐Ÿ’ฏ Not that I'm saying he did anything wrong ๐Ÿ˜’ But this just keeps piling on his drama ๐Ÿคฏ
