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.

    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.

      an evil cabal

      There’s that word, which Marjorie TG mispronounced as cable in a Qanon promotional video years ago. Fucking dumbass.

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

      Would they forgive him for fucking little boys though?
