I cannot fault your motivations, and neither your principles, but only wish I could share your optimism. Numerous indications of insuperable corruption prevent my consideration that Trump has any non-political motivations in this matter. It is impossible to reasonably expect competent individuals contesting power to not undertake to present evidence of their moral principles, and fail to acknowledge that practically ubiquitously all such parties have misrepresented those principles and themselves, and further that Trump has himself done so already on other issues, most notoriously immigration. I consider his cabinet sufficient proof of his alignment with the most criminal elements in the world today. The most powerful banksters, torturers, warmongers, and globalists in America are but increasing the foetid horror of the swamp he promised to drain while a candidate as members of his cabinet.

I cannot in good faith assume Trump stands on moral principle here, despite the lack of proof he is lying about this particular issue presently. The most salient indication to me of his prevarication on this issue is his friendship with Roy Cohn, who admitted to being a brownstone operator on his deathbed. In all, I see that Trump's actions on this issue are best explained by him consolidating his power in this industry, rather than destroying it. Just as the CIA arranges for it's competition in the black market drug industry to be subject to legal sanction and increases it's own power in the industry, I see a similar dynamic ongoing regarding brownstone operations. I don't even think different players are involved at the highest levels of power in the two industries.

I think HRC will remain above the law, because I am confident the Weiner laptop evidence was used to bend her knee, and it is unnecessary to prosecute her and increase the risk to the industry that would entail, and that the most powerful extortionists prefer to avoid. The Clinton machine would not go down without collateral damage. The power extortionists wield would be reduced, and their personal risk of exposure because of it would be magnified. Crimes against humanity are inherently risky industries, and big players only take necessary risks to gain power. Epstein clearly remained a player after his original plea bargain, as the material taken from his safe shows, and apparently his power in the industry was insufficient to protect him from Trump, who now has that material.

Trump also has the Weiner laptop material, as well as the NXIVM evidence. These organizations cannot have been conducting their business without also competing, or allying, with Dyncorp, the CIA, UK/Royals, Mossad, the UN, and others, yet no revelations have surfaced regarding those entities as a result of the evidence in Trump's possession. I can only conclude that Trump's relations with such groups almost certain to have been exposed by that evidence increase his power over the industry.

I certainly wish the evidence enabled me to assume otherwise. Sadly, it does not.

"...in typical Trump fashion he slapped Epstein publicly..iron fist in velvet glove."

Regarding this, I recall George Webb's confession of being Mossad, and his statement regarding why HRC didn't get her turn as President. He said 'You're just bad for business.' Epstein was exposed trying to recruit, or being abusive, in Mar A Lago, and that was why Trump banned him, and ended their congenial relationship. You can view that event as something you or I would do if we caught someone we knew doing that at our home or business, or you can view it in the context of Trump's political aspirations at the time, and how being associated with someone so sloppy as to get caught was a danger to him. Given the lack of action against the aforenamed actors, I cannot assume the former motivation.

Epstein is reported to be a genius, able to discuss physics with Nobel Laureate Murray Gell-man. Raniere claimed to be the smartest man in the world (a guarantee he was not), and had numerous patents to back the claim. The folks running Dyncorp, the CIA, and other organizations known to be involved in sex trafficking minors are all of comparable intelligence, but Trump, who's IQ is rumored to be 156, seems smarter than any of them. He's certainly smarter than I am. He's smart enough to provide credible support for folks to believe he's cracking down on sex trafficking, while consolidating his personal control over the industry.

Until I see action to purge the CIA, end Dyncorp, Xe, the UN, the UK, so on and so forth, undertaken by Trump himself, I will be unable to give credence to the idea that Trump isn't sitting at the head of that table. I am confident he has necessary evidence. I don't think he can do it, and I don't think it's because they're too powerful for the President of the US to tackle. I don't think he could have become President of the US without being a yuge player in the brownstone industry.
