Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, issued a statement Saturday addressing the uproar sparked by the release of a 2018 email exchange in which he appeared to suggest that President Donald Trump had engaged in sexual acts with someone identified only as “Bubba,” according to a Business Insider r...

    I loathe clickbait titles. The statement:

    For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton,” Mark Epstein said in an apparent statement, shared by Shamsian on social media late Saturday.

    Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications onto them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence. I want to be absolutely clear on this point so that the public record is not distorted and so that speculation does not unfairly implicate people who are not actually being referenced in those communications.

    Emphasis mine

      I think the more interesting part to emphasize is the last sentence. It really draws attention to the parts he didn’t say

      Until he provides clear representation of both the purpose and tone of the original correspondence and who or what Bubba reallu is, I don’t see a reason to not believe that it is Clinton.

        So of all the Bubbas in the world, you need specific evidence that it isn’t one particular Bubba?

        Why does anyone think that either Trump or Bill Clinton would want that blowjob to happen?

          I don’t really think that it refers to Clinton but I don’t like being told “it’s not this but I’m not going to tell you what it is”.

          Depends what they got for doing it. Sounds to me like an initiation ritual/insurance policy for joining a secret club… what secret club might they have both been a part of where they would think that was a worthwhile entrance fee?

            You might as well tell me jet fuel can’t melt steel beams at this point. The shark has been jumped.

      Clearly this fucker knows more than he is telling. We should waterboard some answers out of the scummy bastard for trying to keep dick sucking Donnie’s secrets . If he knows who it ain’t then he knows who it is.

        Why isn’t he under investigation? Why isn’t Michael Wolf being investigated for criminal conspiracy? He was literally directing Epstein on how best to blackmail Trump. Is that not a crime?

          Eh, torture in any form doesn’t work. Unless your goal is the torture itself.

          Everyone talks under torture, but no one tells the truth, they simply say whatever the torturer wants to hear, because that’s the fastest way to end the torture.

          Now, I am in favor of anyone advocating for torture going through it themselves. You’d eventually see much less torture in the world.
