    What. the. fuck.

    The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.

    The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.

    Edit: Also, who are the other names?

    Trump was listed under the “Friends” section in the book’s table of contents, along with Clinton and about 20 other associates, the Journal reported.

      For anybody who doesn’t know, “fully depreciated” is an accounting term for an asset that is all used up and worth only its salvage value. So, what Trump is basically saying here is “Jeffrey is showing a talent with money and women because he sold Trump a woman who was all used up for $22,500”

      Obvious questions are:

      1. Who was this woman?
      2. How old was she at the time this was written?
      3. In what sense was she “sold”?
      4. In what sense was she “fully depreciated”?
      5. What was her relationship with Epstein?
      6. What was her relationship with Trump?
      7. Were there other women/girls who were sold by Epstein to Trump?
      8. Did Trump buy any “assets” from Epstein that were brand new, and unused?
      9. Are there any other records of Epstein selling women/girls to people?
      10. If this doodle and the posterboard-sized check were the things Trump was comfortable having out in the open, were there more salacious things they kept quiet?

      That is weird shit. I would be interested in hearing from the woman whose name is redacted about what exactly went on between her and these men.
