While the intake report memorialized allegations that multiple girls were murdered and buried at a Trump golf course, newly released Epstein records suggest federal investigators ultimately viewed the source skeptically. Other FBI summaries released by the Justice Department indicate complainants making similar allegations were “deemed not credible,” and no publicly released records show that authorities excavated any Trump golf course or uncovered evidence supporting the claims.

Guess the rich only ever saw consequences once: France in 1792

What would America’s Storming the Bastille moment even look like? Storming the child-rape mansion that is Mar-a-Lago? Who’s head would get carried away on a pike? Miller’s? Theil’s? Musk’s?

    Terribly misleading, intentionally and maliciously so. From the article:

    from a single tipster who contacted federal authorities in 2021.

    So while the “stop trump at all costs” plan was in motion, a single person contacted the fbi and simply made an allegation.

    It’s nothing.

    America will never jail a president. The country will end before they lose face. Which is why my bets are on the country dissolving. No matter how low or high those odds are. An American president will never face justice.

            Trump would love a nuclear war. and he’s also an idiot who thinks that Wakanda is a real country… you really think he’s smart enough to realize that it’s not smart to attack a country with real nukes?

              Trump isn’t different than previous presidents in foreign policy, he just made internal policy consistent with it.

              If the US wanted nuclear war then they would go against Pakistan not their ally.

                Trump is a pedophile and rapist. his foreign policy is: money, rape kids, find a new wife, cheat on her, glue is gummy, money, and kill/enslave all non-cishet white men.

                no other president in history has been as evil and disgusting as him.

                  kill/enslave all non-cishet white men.

                  Then he differs from his predecessors in that at least there’s a group he won’t attack apparently.

                  From Canada’s POV he hasn’t used chemical weapons against us just to see if they work as far as we know.

    Conspiracy theorists could “in theory” use chemical sniffers attached to mini drones to detect gasses given off by human corpses and run the courses to narrow down where the bodies could be.

    I would totally love to see the graphs and accumulation data on their findings…

    So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit’s. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.

    ‘sure it’s just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn’t make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true’ A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn’t news just because you want to believe it.

    +bonus round ‘oh you’re skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?’

      Considering how much information they had linking Epstein and Trump, and the tip told them where bodies are buried, you think they’d at least get some cadaver dogs out to sniff around the 19th hole.

        he was already convicted of falsifying business accounts in New York. Its ridiculous that the Supreme Court allowed him to stand for election in 2024

        I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the fbi probably needs a higher standard of evidence than “trust me bro” to get a warrant on a freshly out of office former president. Good thing this guy claims to have incriminating recordings of trump and oh wait he conveniently can’t produce them, definitely not suspicious. I’m going to assume ‘I was in the sinaloa cartel but they let me leave because I was tight with Epstein’ guy isn’t throwing up even more nutjob red flags.

        Ok so we agree “some random guy made an unsubstantiated tip to the fbi about a (then) former president” is not news or noteworthy.

      Yeah, I haven’t read the article yet, but the headline is certainly inflammatory. Change it to Biden and add some adrenochrome or satanic panic and it’s q-nut BS. I just fucking looove that Blueanon is a thing now. Didn’t we learn anything from that?

      I guess we learned that people are stupid and gullible.

      It makes me feel pretty down because it’s so fucking hard to steer through the misinfo anymore. Hell, it could even be true. I’m too tired to dig on this one.

      Practice information hygiene and stay skeptical!

    Guys, hold on. Everyone stop.

    Have you seen the Dow?

    Uh oh! It’s BELOW 50k?

    Well then, let’s continue talking about Epstein then.
