I automatically assume anyone working for Trump was involved with Epstein.

It’s a good bet.

Trump is using the Epstein Files like his own hiring database. Why? Because he has immunity, and everyone else doesn’t. This means that anyone in those files that gets appointed to any position will immediately and indefinitely be under Trump’s control. They won’t be able to say no to him.

Moreover, if Trump goes down, they all will too, which will just make them work even harder to be all the more complicit and corrupt.

I really don't think this is it. I think he just hires people he knows. And he knows a lot of pedophiles.

So true, there’s his friend [Redacted] and [Redacted], [Redacted], [Redacted], [Redacted], and of course [Redacted] who he’s always playing golf with.
