Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.

The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.

“So… umm… then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.

    As a Republican this Leaves me ANGRY because I THOUGHT the CLINTONS were on that List but if Trump, who was Epstein’s Best Friend, says there is No List then that means the CLINTONS never Raped kids either!

      Honestly I think it’s kind of funny the administration is trying to bury this, because there is already very public information on Trump being a rapist and making creepy remarks towards young girls.

      If it releases with him on it his supporters would absolutely do the mental gymnastics required to use it as proof the liberal elite are an evil cabal, while also insisting that dear leader is blameless.

        Really wouldn’t be that hard, they could point to several passages in the Bible that could justify him being a rapist and paedophile because they took it wildly out of context. IIRC Mary was something like 13 when she’s was betrothed to Joseph.

        The Bible contradicts a lot about how these guys handle stuff while invoking it, but that’s one area where, because of the times in which it’s referencing, there are examples that fit their narrative. Honestly I’m surprised they haven’t used that already, but it’s probably because none of them have actually read it.

        They would do mental gymnastics to wave off dear leader fucking little girls, yes.

        Would they forgive him for fucking little boys though?

                  Yes, it’s basic English. 's after a pronoun generally doesn’t denote plural but rather possession in this case implying the Clintons have been purchased.

                  I’m not sure why you feel the need to be fuckin weird about it but yes, I am in fact sure.

                    So, if it’s possessive, you can replace it with a possessive pronoun right?

                    “It was John’s friend” -> “It was his friend”

                    “The Hamiltons’ house is white” -> “Their house is white”

                    “We could all smell The Rock’s cooking” -> “We could all smell his cooking”

                    “The motorcade was because of the Clintons’ visit” -> “The motorcade was because of their visit.”

                    Note, that when it’s a couple it’s both plural and possessive, and the rule in that case is to add the apostrophe after the s.

                    So, for your sentence:

                    “Bro he’s good friends with the Clinton’s too” -> “Bro, he’s good friends with their too”

                    Are you sure it’s not just a plural:

                    “Bro he’s good friends with the Clintons too” -> “Bro, he’s good friends with them too”

                    If it’s just plural, you could replace “the Clintons” with “the Clinton family” which is clearly not possessive and it wouldn’t change the sentence:

                    “Bro he’s good friends with the Clinton family”

                    Also, if you insist it’s possessive and not plural, are you saying it’s the possessive form of “The Clinton”? Is that how you refer to Bill?

                    I will say, you’re correct that it is basic English.
