    I would throw all the money at just one reporter who asks JD Vance point blank “Sir, isn’t the man you’re campaigning with actually borrowing Mr. Epstein’s plane right now?” live on the air. The squirming would be glorious.

      They never will. They want to protect their access to the candidates and don’t want the death threats. I guarantee none of these milquetoast reporters are willing to do that.

      Maybe someone like Robert Evens would do it, but he’s probably on a “kick out on sight” list for such things.

      Edited just in case it wasn’t clear enough:

      The plane was liquidated, bought by some random charter plane company, and then Trump hired a charter plane. It’s as much news as if I hired a taxi, and the physical car that came over was previously owned by Epstein (bought by that taxi company in a liquidation).

      That’s what this particular plane issue is. It’s nothing. Attack Trump’s actual connection to Epstein. Hiring a charter plane that was previously owned by someone else is not that.

        If that was the only issue… sure. But Trump was literally friends with the sex trafficker, and there’s photos of them together to prove it!

            Like use some fucking common sense: why would they choose that plane on purpose?

            Knowing the former history of the plane, why wouldn’t Trump tell them to literally give him any other fucking plane? if it were anyone else I’d write it off as a coincidence, but that man getting that plane isn’t just random chance. But you’re telling me not one person who was responsible for that transaction at any step of the way didn’t look at the renter, look at what plane he was renting, and say “Hey, given the history between these two, we may wanna give the guy another plane…”, even if only to avoid bad optics.

            Trump being on that plane right now means he either knew and didn’t care, or directly requested it.

                When you rent a car do you ever ask who drove it prior?

                Your rental car doesn’t have its VIN painted on the tail in large lettering and publically searchable.

                It’s called vetting your suppliers. To make sure someone you’re using isn’t a potential liability.

                    Whether I charter planes has nothing to do with vetting suppliers. I do vet my suppliers as a regular citizen. You do the same thing all the time. I check the reviews of various car rental agencies in the area I’m going to see which are better or worse. That is a form of vetting.

                    A Presidential campaign and former Presdient would 100% have access to more information than basic reviews. Given the public spectacle of Epstein, they should have information about where assets that Trump may come into contact with in the future are located to prevent this exact scenario.

                When you rent a car do you ever ask who drove it prior?

                If I were to recognize the car as one being owned by a murderer or pedo or something? Absolutely. Trump was on that plane enough to know it was Epstein’s. It would be like Michael Cohen saying he doesn’t recognize Trump’s jet.
