The Democrats had the story for 12 years and were a part of this gang of thieves, DOGE proved what they are. If Mr. Epstein was working for the Democrats as the MADAM and that is why it will be thrown back into their lap. The question is – weren’t they in charge when he died?
The Democrats are always talking about “taking people out.”
The story of Epstein reminds me of The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
This is the real ‘reason why Trump is faking’ support for the Epstein vote: strategist
Looks like the left is still wallowing in the mud with Mr. Wolff while reaping who they sow.

How Chummy Is Too Chummy? Epstein Emails Shine Light On Relationships Between Journalists, Sources
The emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein released this week shine a light on the delicate relationship between reporters and their sources. And, as can be the case, bright light isn’t always flattering.
Messages between Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019, and journalists Michael Wolff and Landon Thomas Jr. are frequently chummy and, in one case, show Wolff giving Epstein advice on how to deal with the media — a line journalists are taught not to cross. Wolff specializes in the “you are there” inside accounts that are possible with intensive reporting, though some of his work has been questioned.
People frequently see journalists in public settings, conducting an interview or asking questions at a news conference. Private phone calls, texts or messages — where reporters try to ingratiate themselves with sources who may not otherwise be inclined to give information — are inherently different. But ethical rules remain and are followed by most in American journalism.
Wolff’s advice came in a December 2015 exchange, where the writer said he heard CNN was going to ask then-presidential candidate Donald Trump about his relationship with Epstein. If we could craft an answer for him, Epstein wondered, what would it be?
“I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff replied. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.
3 biggest takeaways from thousands of Epstei emails from USA TODAY reporter Josh Meyer
Advice On Media Relations For Convicted Sex Offender
The exchange left some experts aghast.
Independence is vital for a journalist, and Wolff compromised it, said Dan Kennedy, a media writer and professor at Northeastern University.
Kathleen Bartzen Culver’s voice rises in anger just contemplating the example. Culver, director of the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin, said there are plenty of ethical issues to maneuver every day, like whether a reporter should give $20 after interviewing a poor person who lost benefits during the government shutdown.
“Giving PR advice to a convicted sex offender isn’t one of them,” she said.
Wolff, a two-time National Magazine Award winner, wrote books like “Fire and Fury,” about the opening days of the first Trump administration, and “The Man Who Owns the News,” a biography of Rupert Murdoch. “Historically, one of the problems with Wolff’s omniscience is that while he may know all, he gets some of it wrong,” the late David Carr of The New York Times wrote in a review of the Murdoch book.
Wolff, who did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press, admitted on the “Inside Trump’s Head” podcast that some of the email messages were embarrassing. But he said his knowledge of the media offers “the kind of cachet that gives me a place at the table, which has gotten me the Epstein story, if anybody wanted to pay attention.”
At one point in 2016, Wolff turns the table, seeking counsel from Epstein on what he should ask during an upcoming interview with Trump. That’s a legitimate journalistic exercise, part of the reporting that goes into preparing for an interview.
A 2016 exchange with Epstein mixed a plea for an interview with some advice: “There’s an opportunity to come forward this week and talk about Trump in such a way that could garner you great sympathy and help finish him off. Interested?”
Wolff said on the podcast that part of his role is “play-acting” to get sources to reveal things they would not tell other people. And he took on his critics.
“These are not people that have written the kind of books that I have written,” he said, “and I often make the distinction between journalists who do what they do — daily reporters working for organizations, working within a very prescribed set of rules — and what I do. I’m a writer who manages to make relationships that let me tell a story in the ways that The New York Times or other very reputable journalistic organizations are unable to tell.”
A Distinction That Not Every Reader Makes
Not everyone sees the difference when considering works of nonfiction. Culver cited journalism that took courage and skill to report and said, “I find it heartbreaking when that kind of work is sullied by this kind of garbage.”
Should a journalist act differently in public or private? They’re not supposed to. That explains why Connie Chung had a hard time living down her 1995 exchange with then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s mother. Gingrich initially ducked when Chung asked how her son felt about Hillary Clinton until Chung asked — on camera — “why don’t you just whisper it to me — just between you and me.”
Many of the exchanges between Epstein and the journalists are chatty, gossipy — seemingly harmless, yet not the sort of things one would like to see published years later. Northeastern’s Kennedy read some of the emails between Wolff and Epstein and said “it just seemed like kibbitzing with a child molester for no apparent purpose.”
In one email conversation, the former New York Times reporter Thomas mentions that he’s been getting calls from another journalist who is writing a book on Epstein. “He seems very interested in your relationship with the news media,” Thomas wrote. “I told him you were a hell of a guy :).”
Thomas also didn’t hide his feelings about Trump in one conversation — a personal opinion that most reporters learn to keep to themselves. “I am getting worried,” Thomas wrote in July 2016. “Is he ever going to implode?”
Relations Between Journalist And Source: Step Carefully
Journalists should take care to maintain boundaries, especially when dealing with people who are inexperienced with the media. There’s admittedly a fine line: A reporter needs a source’s trust, but it’s a form of deception if a source begins to think of the journalist as a friend who would never betray them.
People most commonly think of politics when considering bias in journalism. More frequently, bias shows up in relationships, whether a reporter likes or dislikes someone they are dealing with, Culver said.
“I advise my students to be human with their sources,” she said. “Not to be friendly or sweet, but to come at it with respect and understanding.”
Thomas stopped working at The Times in 2019 after editors discovered a violation of its ethical standards. National Public Radio reported that Thomas had solicited a $30,000 contribution from Epstein for a charity the journalist supported.
In one exchange that was widely noticed online, Epstein asked Thomas in 2015 if he would like photos of Trump and girls in bikinis taken in his kitchen. “Yes!!!” the reporter replied.
But The Times said no such photos were forthcoming.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – WHAT WOULD JESUS SAY ABOUT “WOLFF’S BOOK?
Posted on January 7, 2018 by kommonsentsjane
Yes, why isn’t Wolff including questions about Bill/Hillary in reference to Epstein – how many times did Bill AND HILLARY ride that plane to the island. Did some report 28 times? Mr. Wolff should interview them. I bet they could tell some brick and mortar stories and even how many bed/bath rooms are available.
Wolf has written four books about the President. They are now trying to hang the whole Epstein business on the President because they have no boundary. They have put themselves in a position that continues to look like “cheaters’ row candidates.
The left is getting nervous or they wouldn’t have drug out Obama/Axelrod/Couric. That is the bottom of the barrel and the actual head of this expedition.
I have a question – Did Epstein work for the FBI during the Democrats 12 years of service? It was during this time that seems to have created Epstein. Just a “pie in the sky.” – Epstein seemed to always have plenty of access to money but never had a real job. Was Epstein working for the Democrats Party/FBI and established his business under cover furnishing Democrats/et al – “ladies of the night.? How could he own an island resort and not even work?
The Democrats had this info for 12 years about Epstein. They know more than they are reporting.
From what I have read in the papers the President and Epstein were not that side by side due to Epstein always stealing the President’s workers in Florida. The lady of the night who took her life was one of the President’s workers and her father worked for the President and both of them spoke highly of the President. Since she was the main frame, I would take her word for it.
Also, how much is Wolff being paid to “hot rod” this topic for the left? Just think of the money he has brought home to momma? And, FOUR books just about Trump. Goodness, he hit a gold mine and now the book that will help him retire.
The lefties are the ones who are ‘rubbing elbows with the devil.” If people continue being interested in the stories of a dead man, I will be surprised; but, as we know the lefties have already proven their lies and deceit with all of the times they tried to convict him of “nothing.” Even two of the prosecutors are now under investigation for fraud. The Democrats need to repay the taxpayers for all of the times they brought the President to court.
Why didn’t Mr. Wolff bring up this subject during the 12 years the Democrats were in charge of the government. Why- because it would have been pigeon-holed until they needed it to blame others.
Now is that time.
I will always say – Epstein was the ‘MADAM” for the GOVERNMENT/Democrats.”
Brothel – Wikipedia
- When brothels are illegal they may nevertheless operate in the guise of a legitimate business, such as massage parlors, saunas or spas. In a few countries, prostitution and operating a brothel is legal and regulated. The degree of regulation varies widely by country.

Man at center of Epstein email release claims Trump insiders panicking
Story by David McAfee
President Donald Trump’s insiders are panicking, according to a controversial Trump biographer whose name was heavily included in the recent Jeffrey Epstein email release.
Michael Wolff, a journalist who has written four books about Trump and has had numerous conversations with Epstein, said on a Daily Beast podcast on Saturday that those close to Trump are “frantic.”
When asked how Trump thinks he will “ride this one out,” Wolff says, “This has been enormously frustrating to him for a very long time.”
“The fact that this is all coming home to roost I think is completely freaking him out,” Wolff said. “He doesn’t know what to do… he has no strategy. He feels cornered.”
His sense of the people at the White House is that they are “frantic.” They understand the political perils but Trump is “telling them nothing,” according to Wolff.
“The people in the White House genuinely don’t know what happened with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump,” he said in the weekend video. “They don’t know because that has been whitewashed out of the Donald Trump political narrative.”
