President Trump on witness list in Palm Beach lawsuit involving billionaire pedophile

Source: Florida Bulldog

President Donald Trump is on a list of witnesses for trial in a Palm Beach lawsuit that pits billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein against a Fort Lauderdale attorney who represents Epstein’s victims.

The case appears bound for trial this summer following a Feb. 9 ruling by the Florida Supreme Court in another case that has allowed Fort Lauderdale lawyer Bradley Edwards’ claim of malicious prosecution against Epstein to proceed.

President Trump “has been identified as an individual who may have information relating to these allegations,” said Edwards’ West Palm Beach attorney Jack Scarola, who placed Trump’s name on a witness list on Aug. 31. “But it’s unlikely that he would ever be called” to appear at trial, especially now that he’s assumed the presidency.

Scarola said Trump is one of a number of high-profile individuals whose testimony might be relevant because they “had a relationship with Epstein that would have at least exposed them potentially to what was going on inside Epstein’s Palm Beach home … during the relevant period of time” between 2001-2007.

But the case that was dropped involved Epstein too.

Supposedly, Epstein has an egg shaped penis.

He made the same type of trips with the same piece of suck as Connie-boy did. Maybe once or twice the same exact trip

He would lie under oath easily. There is no way to know when Donald Trump is telling the truth.

“I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

I first saw that quote last year, after Katie Johnson filed her first rape lawsuit against Epstein & Trump.

"Jeffrey enjoys his social life," and so does Donny boy.

maybe there are survivors that are adults now that were children at the time they were around Epstein and Trump. Maybe some of them would be willing to step forward now.

I'll bet Trump liked to get to Epstein's parties early, so that he could "check out the talent" before the other invited guests arrived.

he could well be deposed under oath in Washington or at Mar-a-Lago. The Paula Jones case set precedent here.

Remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the right-wing about Pizzagate? It was nothing but a hoax. But, notice the sound of crickets about this case? Well, there was some coverage when Bill Clinton was revealed to be a friend of Epstein. But, as soon as Trump was also exposed as a friend of Epstein, the story went cold. Never mind, unlike Pizzagate, this Epstein scandal is real. His crimes started to suffice around 2011-- when the notorious pedophile Jimmy Saville died. He was eventually convicted for sexual abuse of underage girls, but receive a sweat-heart deal from the government. That sweetheart deal is why Epstein is being sued today. Apparently, the U.S. government didn't notify the victims of the deal. By law, they were suppose to. The fact that they didn't was no accident. Epstein is well connected. Now some of the victims are suing the government to reopen the case. Alan Dershowitz was Epstein's attorney. One of the victims has testified she was forced to have sex with Dershowitz.

Here is a chart of some of the people known to have been on Epstein's jet-- dubbed the Lolita Express. The actual lawsuit is online.

Here is a video of Thom Hartmann and Mike Papantonio giving a good synopsis of the case in 2015.
