A funny thing happened down on Incrimination Street. Donald Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch and or News Corp for Ten Billion dollars! Why? Why not a hundred billion or a trillion dollars? Why not for all the money in the whole wide world? Mr. Murdoch published a story about a letter allegedly written by Donald Trump over twenty years ago. So what? How is that defamation? It is a known fact that Mr. Trump was pals with a pedophile. It’s a known fact, Mr. Epstein held pedophile parties with underaged girls. And it’s a known fact that Mr. Trump, being one of Jeffery’s best pals would attend.
The letter in question was written for Mr. Epstein’s 50th birthday. To be included in a collection of letters from Jeffie’s pals. It was all locker room humor; boy’s will be boy’s stuff. Like a celebrity roast, “Remember that time you got drunk and threw up in the flowerpot at the Hyatt Regency?” The letter in question only alludes to “secrets” and includes a drawing of a nude woman. How’s that worth ten billion dollars in defamation? Donald Trump maintains he is too incompetent to draw a nude woman. That’s a pretty damn good answer. It would be hard to argue against incompetence in anything that Donald Trump does.
Lots of men have drawn nude pictures of women. Some have even done it in Art Colleges across the country. Almost every high school boy has done it at least once at sometime on a Men’s room wall. So, why ten billion? The letter also alluded to “secret times.” Why, that could be almost anything from harmless boyhood pranks to sniffing a little nose candy. It was after all the nineties. Why is Trump wetting his drawers over a letter written to someone Trump was known to have known, which doesn’t say he’s done anything illegal? The secret could be the time he got so drunk he threw up in the flowerpot of the Hyatt Regency.
It is a complete overreaction; the public already knows of lots of events way worse than the drawing of a naked woman in a letter to a pedophile pal. The letter doesn’t mention underage girls or drug use. The letter by itself is harmless. Why does Trump think it’s worth ten billion? Methinks he doth protest too much. If he wants the Epstein controversy to go away, this is the wrong path. Every time someone gives a deposition, or they hold a hearing, it’s going to be national news all over again. Come on, this is a married guy who bangs porn stars, and the letter is rated PG.
The lawsuit is a complete overreaction of the type done by those who are probably guilty as hell. It’s not what the letter says, but what it implies. Trump is actually defaming himself here. But there is another question, an even larger question than Donald Trump’s ego, paranoia and gross overreaction. Why did Rupert Murdoch publish the story in the first place? What does he gain? Occam was asked for comment. The Wall Street Journal isn’t famous for exposing sex scandals or peccadillos. Why not the New York Times or the Washington Post? What’s in it for Rupert? Okay, he sells a few more newspapers, big deal! It would be like offering the average person a quarter.
Here’s twenty-five cents, but you’re about to be sued over it to the tune of ten billion dollars. Rupert doesn’t need the money. And theoretically, at least, Trump and Rupert are on the same side. Why does Rupert want to piss in Donald Trump’s swimming pool? When he gains so little. There is a reason, there has to be a reason. As nothing happens by accident in Washington. Why, when Trump is struggling, does Rupert want to throw him an anchor?
I can only imagine the News Corp news room. “Wow! A letter alluding to secrets, including a drawing of a naked woman, done over twenty years ago. This is hot! We better call the boss with this!” And the boss receives the news, “Oh my God! We have to make this news public right away! Friendship or no friendship, the public needs to know!” What does Rupert gain from this? Financially, he gains nothing.
It’s only a personal theory of mine, that some in positions of power and wealth now perceive Donald Trump as a threat to their empires. That maybe, Trump has gone a little too far and has become a danger. Josh Hawley is trying to repeal the Medicaid spending cuts he voted for. Because he perceives the mother of all financial meltdowns and the sudden extinction of a species (Republicans) not seen since the dinosaurs. Maybe that’s why?
Maybe they think the little engine that doesn’t, has got a wheel off the track? Maybe they see the things the media doesn’t show or tell us” Maybe Trump might be licking his magic markers or peeing in milk bottles, like Howard Hughes. Maybe there is a panic in the penthouses and boardrooms across America to stop him before he does something REALLY stupid! Maybe they’ve seen enough? “Gotta watch Wapner at three o’clock! Bring me Mr. Boo, boo bear! A new executive order! From now on, every day is Taco Tuesday!”
Tulsi Gabbard issues an inept and predictably incompetent statement, as would be expected. Calling for the prosecution of Democrats. Autopen! Autopen! Autopen! Far more intelligent minds than hers have issued far more intelligent statements, and yet the controversy continues. But there is a simple enough answer.
Ghislaine Maxwell sits languishing in prison, desperate to get out. Her last hope is a long-shot appeal to the Supreme Court and failing that, a pardon as whatever is left of Donald Trump goes out the door in 2028. What are the chances the extreme court would do something which Donald wouldn’t like to see happen?
Let’s ask Ghislaine? She was the person who assembled the book and solicited the entries in the first place! I bet she knows! Let’s offer her a full pardon if she tells us all she knows about Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffery Epstein. That sounds fair to me. That’s the way it’s done, right? The little fish squealing on the bigger fish?
Now here’s the funny part; if Maxwell were offered a full pardon, and she refused to take it. It would convict Donald Trump even more than if she testified. But more to the point, why has Rupert Murdoch suddenly changed sides?
