Jeffrey Epstein once dug into his safe to take out photos of Donald Trump posing with topless girls on his lap, author Michael Wolff revealed on a Thursday episode of Inside Trump’s Head.

    The identities of the girls and the birth dates need to be established for this to be the damning evidence people want it to be.

      I give it at least 50/50 odds we could have video of donald trump murdering a baby through sodomy and it wouldn’t be “damning evidence”.

      You also need to establish the date the photo was taken. I didn’t read the article so I don’t know if they are analog photos with the date printed or if it’s a digital printed photo that doesn’t have the date. Either way, you need both to establish a crime as opposed to creepy but legal.

        The article said very little about the actual photos besides that they existed and that the girls were young. I certainly don’t want to sound like I am in support of Trump, but that is not evidence and it doesn’t say anything.

          There’s nothing wrong with expecting good quality evidence. Many criminals have gotten away because the evidence was crap or obtained the wrong way.

          It is absolutely evidence, but the evidence isn’t conclusive and doesn’t prove anything by itself. If you can get someone to testify that they are in the picture and what date it is, you have a stronger case.

          At the very least, if the person in the photo is underage at that time, you can paint a pretty damning picture for the right jury. Furthermore if the person in the photo is underage and testifies to sexual conduct, you have an extremely good case because the fact that there is a picture of them together gives her immense credibility. I’m not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure sexual conduct with a minor has always been sexual assault and illegal so…

            There is no evidence. There is testimony about inconclusive evidence. Those photos may or may not exist at all.

            Let me give you an example of what this is: I saw a photo of you fucking a child. Is this evidence?

            (No, it’s not.)

              That last part wasn’t really necessary.

              I was under the impression that the DOJ has the ability to confirm the existence of the photos because they have access to the safe or the contents therein.

              Maybe I should have read the article. It’s more speculative than I was led to believe from the comments lol

                Considering you did not read the article and were Fighting, admittedly, based on Internet comments… I’d say that last part was going easy on you. What we need less of in this world is people pushing information just because it feels good. That’s how we get so much right wing misinformation…. Let’s not be them.

        Wolff said Epstein once stepped out of the room during a discussion about Trump and came back holding about a dozen snapshots that resembled Polaroids.
