    Haha no surprise there. I said a few weeks ago in a comment this is what will happen and got massively down voted. Because if he admitted that he knew of the crimes, then he is 1. guilty for doing nothing about it despite being in power or adjacent to powerful people, or 2. is a pedo himself. So all he can do is say he knew nothing in order to save his own ass.

    Just like when he told the entire USA “I did not. have. sexual relations with that woman. Ms. Lewinsky…”

    But then he actually did.

      That depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.

      Seriously, though, he stated later that he was interpreting the definition of “sexual relations” to mean that he had touched her in sexual ways. Apparently he was only ever on the receiving end, and therefore his claim was that she had “sexual relations” with him, but not vice versa. In his view, his response followed the letter of the law, if not the spirit of the law. He wasn’t found guilty of perjury, so apparently he wasn’t entirely wrong, legally speaking.

      Now … Is he a POS who cheated on his wife? Maybe. The Republican rumor mill (AKA Rush Limbaugh) claimed for years that they had an open marriage and were both sleeping with other people. That’s the sort of thing that a lot of people are okay with now, but it was not talked about in polite society in the '90s. I’ve always thought that if Hillary was willing to stand by him after everything that came out, then we probably shouldn’t judge him on her behalf.

        I don’t know if it makes sense to view their marriage through the lens of normal romance. I see them as having devoted their lives to building a political dynasty, and I think they wouldn’t get divorced unless it served that end.

      Bill may be special enough his tapes are safe with Mossad or Maxwell’s family. Epstein had a painting of Bill in a dress over his mantel, flew with him 20+ times, Epstein took pride in that relationship.

      Bill and Hilary may not be clean, but they’re being used by Trump and his child-raping ilk as the fall guys.

      The fact that the rest of the scum hasn’t been dragged in kicking and screaming by their hair by Comer and conveniently allowed to go on a last minute “Trip” shows how much disrespect there is for the justice system.

      It’s a complete kangaroo court designed to make the Clinton’s look bad while the other scum flee.

      Republican voters must really be so much more fucking stupid than I thought or something, because the plan to have these two in court and nobody else hasn’t got billionaire blood running in he street, and it shows. Republicans must really approve of violent child rape and murder… absolute filth, the lot of them.

        I can’t imagine that they are actually guilty in this case. The FBI/DOJ have been scrubbing Trump as hard as possible from the files for the past year.

        If they found anything truly incriminating there is no way they wouldn’t have already dropped them.

        Why would you think people want to see giant pictures of pedophiles like that?

        Seriously, I don’t know why anyone does that, but maybe it’s because I end up blocking them to see if they reply with any logical reason

            Well that would seem pretty pointless considering the post they’re commenting on…

            But I was more ranting about how people just embed giant pictures in their comments.

            And the type of people who embed pictures, probably also don’t feel like anything anywhere is ever obvious enough

    With all the new files released, has anyone here seen any photos that can confirm that this photo might be real?

    Like the same room or chair or something? Rug?

    I still think there is a decent chance it’s real. If so… Maybe Clinton doesn’t want to throw his best dick sucker under the bus. 🤷

      I get this is a joke, but you’re only giving the pedophiles ammunition to say that the evidence that is real, can’t be trusted because it’s AI generated.

      do the right thing here dude.

        It’s actually not verified to be AI. Nothing in the image is erroneous.

        If it’s fake, it’s a photoshopped fake image.

        I’m on the fence if it’s real or not. That’s why I ask if there are any photos of this room.

        I want it to be real so bad. And there were references to Trump blowing bubba in the emails.

        If you Google if it’s real or not the primary criticism of it not being real is that it’s origin can’t be verified. No one knows where it came from.

        To me, I would be more sure it was real if there was additional evidence. Until then, I’m just going to have to hope. But admit it’s probably not.

        https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fact-check-photo-trump-kneeling-194000609.html

        However some of the “reasons” it’s concluded as fake in this are not strong arguments.

        The time stamp would depend on the date set in the camera which could easily be wrong. A lot of people never set those.

        The odd angles are actually more indicating it’s not AI.
        Like the tiny sliver of Clinton’s pants (left leg) close to Trump body.

        The photo was taken with a flash in low lighting which would remove a lot of shadows.

        The pattern on the carpet is not sharp enough to determine if it’s consistent or not.

        Furthermore this “style” of photo is not common in AI. Infact Ive never seen it. It looks like an old film or digital camera with flash on in low lighting. Which is why the aperture is wide open and it has a shallow depth of field.

        All proper hands, fingers, and feet are positioned properly in the appropriate number.

        If it’s fake. It’s photo manipulation.

        No reference photos have been found though that could have been used.

        These may also turn up in Epstein files. Which would just cause more questions rather than give answers.

                  Its hard to argue with ai slop.

                  Idk if this is a bot or just some guy using ChatGPT manually, but I’d bet a few sats that’s an ai response.

                  when you share content to the public with little to no context it will be misconstrued and reshared as “evidence”.

                  what happens when there is a bunch of falsified or unverifiable “evidence” about a particular crime? all evidence comes into question.

                  why would that happen? because the defense will always attempt to discredit the claims against them and weaken the actual evidence.

                  if this miraculously goes to trial, the first argument the defense attorney will make is, “how can any of this ‘evidence’ be trusted if there’s so much of it that can easily be faked by the general public? how can we be assured that the accused isn’t being targeted by their political opponents and slandered?”

                  so, by posting and refusing to provide context of the joke and refusing to remove the fake image, they are supporting pedophiles and spreading misinformation.
