But I thought he didn’t know anything

I hate Trump, and I don't believe this for a second, and they're all weird lying hypocrites, but...

This isn't really much of a "gotcha". If he was a secret FBI informant, then you'd expect him to deny any knowledge.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

He could have spoke up anytime after the busts went down.

Wow, I did not have this excuse on my bingo card.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

They started floating it a month or so ago.

This one really saved my ass when I was caught installing cams in the dressing rooms at Kohls.

Oh good, I’m sure that’s well documented in the Epstein report, right? RIGHT?!?

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 29 points 4 weeks ago

The level of desperation would be fun to watch if there weren't over a thousand fucking victims.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a clip of Johnson saying "he's not saying what Epstein did is a hoax", right before saying trump was an FBI informant.

Starts at 0:22

He's trying to play a semantics game.

We have trump on tape literally saying, this is a Democrat hoax.

Fuck this semantics BS. These fuckers are lying straight through their teeth.

They're protecting elite billionaires and child sex traffickers. There's massive amounts of money fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, who knows what else. Who knows who else is involved.

Release. Fucking. Everything. Unredacted.

Never let this shit go.

I dont think its semantics so much as a lie.

Theyre trying to imply that trump was a secret fbi informant so they can explain the redactions in the heavily censored files that they plan on releasing to overhang (this is a disinformation technique) the epstein files.

It looks like this is a final draft of the narrative. Its neither plausible nor is it possible (fbi directors could contradict this claim). I doubt it will successfully deceive most people looking for answers about the epstein list.

So, yes he did rape those girls, but only so he wouldn't blow his cover?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

They say he was the best FBI agent, probably ever. That's what they're saying. The best. Fifteen years, never blew his cover. Got many things done. Tremendous guy.

[–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

Release his reports.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 weeks ago

So, did Trump invent this hoax, then? Maybe back when he was still a Democrat?

Criminal Informant being the operative phrase.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

SVR* Informant

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 5 points 4 weeks ago

Guess that makes me an FBI informant for jackin off in the work bathroom

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago

Well damn, why didn't he say so earlier? All this fuss about him being a pedophile rapist criminal for nothing? Guess we can just get over this whole thing and focus on more pressing issues like the war that is happening in Chicago now.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

Ah yes so he got caught raping kids and snitched on Jeffrey to get no time in jail
