Cover-Up or Frame-Up? How the Democratic Epstein Releases are a Classic Example of False Light

Many years ago, as a law student, I had the honor of working with the great prosecutor William J. Kunkle Jr., who put away John Wayne Gacy. I was a young intern at the litigation firm of Phelan, Pope & John and loved listening to Bill’s stories about his famous cases. I even had to take a couple of calls from Gacy from prison when Bill was out. (I was asked to write down everything that he would say in the routine calls. On one call, Gacy told me, “Tell Bill he was wrong. I was not guilty of homicide. I was guilty of running an indoor funeral parlor without a license.”). One story of Bill’s came to mind last night when Democrats released their latest tranche of “bombshell” photos from the Epstein files to suggest that Trump is implicated in the scandal.

Bill told me how he would stage the trial room to maximize impact on the jury. In the Gacy trial, he was allowed to create an exhibit showing the pictures of the victims. He knew that defense counsel would not want the faces staring at the jury throughout the trial. So he made the exhibit so large that it would be difficult to move and waited for the defense to insist that the pictures themselves be removed. When they did so, they found that each picture was attached to the board by Bill with large red tape. Throughout the trial, the jurors stared at each name with a large red X beneath it. It was better than the pictures themselves.

Bill’s story came to mind yesterday when the Democrats released the photos from the Epstein files.

The White House accused Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of spreading a “false narrative” with photos. It is more of an effort to create “false light,” a term from tort law where true photos are presented in a misleading and harmful way.

The photos of Trump show women with their faces obscured as “possible” victims of human trafficking with underaged girls. (The New York Post posted the unredacted picture, which actually came from an entirely unrelated event in Hawaii and was previously published with all of the faces shown).

Even a photo with a single woman on what appears to be a plane is blacked out. There is no context offered, but the blacked-out faces suggest that these women have to be protected as possible victims.

It has the same effect as Kunkle’s Xs.

However, the real question of false light is the inclusion with the other photos selected for release. The Democrats included pictures of sex toys, novelty condom boxes with Trump’s face (saying “I’m Huuuge”) and even Epstein in a bathtub.

The combination is meant to make the other photos seem more sinister, even though we have no information on where they were taken or who the women are in the images. Just Xs.

Trump is not alone in the framing of such photos. The release included a previously public photo of Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz simply meeting with Epstein, who is wearing a Harvard sweatshirt. There is no information on when or where it was taken. (Epstein was a major donor to Harvard, and Dershowitz was a Harvard professor as well as someone who served as counsel to Epstein).

The Democrats have long despised Dershowitz, a liberal who broke ranks with the party and represented Trump in his impeachment. Now, he is included with the photos of condoms and Epstein in a bath.

  1. Prof. Turley.

    I am not alone in expecting this type of “false light” from democrats.

    The collusion delusion is much the same thing.

    Hillary has all kinds of politically harmful ties to Russia – so shill a “false light” claim that Trump has even worse one. Reality does not matter.

    I do not think there should be a false light tort. But then again I am not sure that defamation should be a tort either.

    The free market sorts these things out fine.
    And would do an even better job if people KNEW that people could be lying or distorting things without consequences.

    The consequences properly come from stopping Trusting those who continually engage in misrepresentation.

    I have not viewed these photos, or read the recently released Epstein emails.

    If there was a REAL smoking gun – Everyone right and left would be running from whoever that “smoking gun” damned.

    We KNOW that Epstein had pictures and even social relationships with just about every influential and particularly wealthy person in the world over the course of decades.

    We KNOW that to some unknown extent Epstein offered women and sometimes teens to some of the people in his orbit.

    What we do not know is WHO associated with Epstein was engaged in criminal conduct and who was not.
    Nor do we actually know the extent of that criminal conduct.

    Democrats blacked out the faces of the alleged victims. I am fine with that.

    But the proper people for making allegations are these Victims.
    What really disturbs me regarding Epstien is that there are not all that many underage at the time women coming forward making claims against the epstein estate or against the people who allegedly abused them.

    Maybe that means the scope of epsteins misconduct is much smaller than claimed. Maybe there have been private settlements.

    Regardless, I am not going to place much weight in a photo of someone with Epstein or With one of the Women Epstein surrounded himself with,
    If the DOJ under Biden and Trump was unwilling to prosecute – I have no idea how to decide who is just in an innocent picture and who actually committed a crime. Alternately the victims can come forward and make their claims.

    Separately – I am not paying attention to what the democrats release – absent a provably true inflagrante delecto phot of a crime.

    I am not going to do so when the target is trump.
    I am not going to do so when the Target is democrats.

    I am not trying to claim that there was no Crimes involving Epstain and others. Only that the means to distinguish between merely embarrassing contacts with Epstain and crimes – is a criminal prosecution or a tort claim by the victims.

    We do not even know the scale of the criminal conduct with Epstein.
    Among the thousands of people who encountered him – were there only a few perps and victims ? or did the majority of those affiliated with Epstein
    engage in crimes ?

    We do not know – and without evidence that we do not have, we will never know.

    As to democrats – the numerous lies and false narratives they have shilled mean that the standard of proof I use for claims from well know liars – is very high.

    And that is as it should be.

    Everone deserves a fair trial. Right, Prof. Turley?

    1. are you implying that this was wrong or improper?
      ……….Sounds like the judge allowed it and the party got a “fair trial.”
      No verdict thrown out on appeal, Mr. Dunn?
      Sounds pretty clever to me. Maybe more clever than you?

      1. Annonymous – yes I think that was wrong and improper. But Prosecutors pull that kind of stuff all the time and courts allow it.
        We should do something about that.
        But we have not.

        1. Do you remember Johnnie Cochran’s stunts at the OJ Simpson murder trial? He was defense, not prosecutor.
          You are not a lawyer, you try to get info from your wife, and nothing illegal or improper was done by prosecutors in this case or it would have had a successful appeal years ago.

  3. This photo is a good example of the transmission of the TDS virus.The person who blacked out those adult woman’s faces knows there is no TDS in that photo, so they have to dose it with TDS so that those easily infected can stay ill.
    To all those suffering (Rosie, Deniro), The source of TDS is the media, stop consuming and it goes away.
    like any addiction you have to want to get healthy again.

    1. Guifree is deceased, Epstein murdered, the French model agency fellow deceased. Has anyone else died? Maybe there’s a Gacy in the mix? A killer clown…

      OT what’s going on with the oil tankers? The writers for the tabloids are such poor writers it’s difficult to know. Guyana said the flag was false? It’s not Venezuelan? Did Machado win the election? Who knows…

      1. I do not know about the “flag” of the Tanker – but the oil came from Iran and Venezuela and violated sanctions against both countries.
        Further there is alot of evidence this tanker was being used for electronic surveillance and warfare.

        Finally – confiscating a Tanker is not nearly as final as blowing up a cigarette boat.
        If DOD made a mistake – there are remedies for the confiscation of the tanker in the courts.

        1. A warrant to confiscate property was given by a judge in November.

          The election of Maduro was questioned by many nations monitoring and that Gonzales won in a landslide. Maduro issued a warrant for arrest at which time Gonzales fled to Spain. Machado was banned for 15 years from government and fled to Oslo for a prize.

          DJT and company are making a real dent in domestic drug trafficking, A first. The domestic (US) narco-states are fighting hard to keep their bread and butter flowing. DJT isn’t slowing down with 3 years left.

    2. *. The photo is obviously shopped. DJT has his right arm around the female with the extended waistline. His fingers can be seen. How long are his arms? 😂. It’s a composite photo.

      Tragic

  4. Earlier today X accused me of not thinking it through when I stated that the Biden Administration did not
    Release the Epstein files. X said that under Biden the case was still open. NPR tells a different story saying that the case was closed in 2019. https://www.npr.org/2019/08/29/755528777/jeffrey-epsteins-criminal-case-closed-after-his-death-derailed-prosecution. So let me repeat. Why didn’t Biden release the Epstein files. X even lies to himself and himself believes it. Hey X, this info wasn’t very hard to find.

    1. Thinkitthrough
      NPR is your source ????
      You are joking right ???

      Obviously, you are a commie, leftist, antifa sympathizer who is unable to define a woman, and wants to open girls locker rooms to tranny perverts.

    2. Thinkitthrough, again, you don’t think things through. The CIVIL cases against the Epstein estate were still open after the CRIMINAL cases were closed because Epstein killed himself. You did know that, right?
      The victims were still suing Espein’s estate for damages and compensation.

      Trump promised to release all the files. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino also promised to do so. But….once Trump realized his name was all over those files he had a change of heart and Kash and Bongino suddenly got real quiet.

      Again, you didn’t think things through.

      1. And apparently you didn’t put that much thought into it either, idiot. As any and all information relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump could easily had been “leaked” to the media and the legacy media would had gobbled it up like a hungry, hungry hippo. So why didn’t anyone in the Biden Administration or his DoJ had done that? It would easily had cost Trump his re-election bid. And anyone sitting on the fence, deciding to vote either for Trump or Harris, would had made up their mind and voted for Harris instead.

        Hell, how come there wasn’t anyone who could had leaked the info during Trump’s first term given how many “leaks” there were? Trump would had dropped his re-election campaign back in 2020. Biden could had pardoned the “leaker” after being sworn in if the leaker had been charged and found guilty in a court of law.

        1. Dannyboyo2,

          “ As any and all information relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump could easily had been “leaked” to the media and the legacy media would had gobbled it up like a hungry, hungry hippo. ”

          Yeah it could have. BUT it seems more people in the Biden administration had more integrity and a sense of responsibility at the FBI. Plus, as I said, there were still civil cases open that would not have allowed the release of those files at the time. Crazy huh?

          1. “Yeah it could have. BUT it seems more people in the Biden administration had more integrity and a sense of responsibility at the FBI.”

            Thanks for the laugh. Are you saying the Administration that lied about Biden’s mental decline to the American people since at least 2022. If you don’t believe that’s the case then I have two words for you, made in America.

            https://www.denvergazette.com/2022/10/07/math-is-hard-biden-has-two-words-made-in-america-8a1d798f-407b-54f6-b5f4-d03f2b5d7f4b/

            It was enough to convince people that Biden’s mind was on the decline.

            https://www.npr.org/2023/05/23/1177617666/more-than-6-in-10-say-bidens-mental-fitness-to-be-president-is-a-concern-poll-fi

            “Plus, as I said, there were still civil cases open that would not have allowed the release of those files at the time. Crazy huh?”

            And I said leaked, not release. You honestly believe that those two actions are one and the same. Learn to differentiate between the two actions. One is done with a lawful action. And the other is done through unlawful means.

            1. Dannyboyo@,

              What does that have to do with the price of beans in China?

              You now Biden wasn’t running the FBI at the time, right? That doesn’t mean the FBI still had integrity and professionalism before Trump crapped all over it.

              1. “What does that have to do with the price of beans in China?”

                It goes against your claim that the people behind the Biden Administration had integrity when in fact they didn’t. In fact, they and his allies in the media claimed that any signs of Biden’s mental decline was nothing more than a right-wing conspiracy theory.

                “Right-wing media figures are desperately pushing conspiracy theories about Biden ahead of the debate” – CNN

                Oh and these are the same people who tried to create their own version of a “Ministry of Truth” call the Disinformation Governance Board, headed by Nina Jankowicz. Which is ironic considering that she herself had spread misinformation. Or have you completely forgotten all about that.

                “Former DHS Disinfo Czar Refuses to Explain False Claims about Hunter Biden Laptop, Steele Dossier” – National Review

                “You now Biden wasn’t running the FBI at the time, right? That doesn’t mean the FBI still had integrity and professionalism before Trump crapped all over it.”

                FBI and integrity and professionalism shouldn’t be used in the same sentence as they had shown a lack of integrity and professionalism when they had entrapped people in past cases.

                “It’s (Almost) Always the Feds: How the FBI Fabricates Schemes To Entrap Would-Be Radicals” – Reason
                “Watching The Watchmen” – Buzzfeed News

                My favorite part of the Buzzfeed article was when they stated this:

                “An examination of the case by BuzzFeed News also reveals that some of those informants, acting under the direction of the FBI, played a far larger role than has previously been reported. Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them.”

                Oh and I can’t forget this beauty of a gem.

                “‘Newburgh Four’ Terrorism Case Releases Show Dire Need for FBI Reforms” – Brennan Center for Justice

                Ironically, this was done under Obama’s watch, not Trump’s. So your claim that it was Trump who crapped all over it is utterly idiotic.

              2. X it is established Fact that left wing nuts and deep state actors in the FBI would leak anything – including lies harmful to Trump – regardless of who was president at the moment.

                What government leak about Trump has proven TRUE ?

              3. MOSTLY the issue is not the institutional credibility of FBI and DOJ.

                The credibility issue is strictly limited to TDS suffers, Deep State actors and left wing nuts.

                There have been massive numbers of leaks – from DOJ, FBI and many other sources.
                There have also been whistleblowers coming forward.

                I am unaware of any favorable leaks for Trump EVER.
                I am unaware of any harmful leaks regarding Trump that have EVER proved TRUE.

                I am unaware of any Whistle blower complaints regarding Trump that proved true.
                I am not aware of any whistle blower complaint regarding Biden and democrats that did not prove true.

          2. X a civil case does not preclude the release of GJ and criminal investigative material

            The constitution does.

            As to the integrity of democrats in DOJ and FBI under Biden – they leaked all kinds of things they could not leak.
            They leaked all kinds of things that were FALSE.

            No one capable of the least critical thinking beleives that an administration that leaked LIES to stich up Trump would refuse to leak damaging true information.

            Next – there has never been an epstain victim who has come forward and sued Trump.
            Your littigation argument – which is bogus, would only alpply to those being sued.

          3. lol.. lol..LOL… ha ha ho ho… ‘…seems more people in the Biden administration had more integrity and a sense of responsibility at the FBI…’ puh-lese don’t make us laugh so hard, Mr./Ms. X…………………………..

          4. “. . . there were still civil cases open that would not have allowed the release . . .”

            There are open civil cases to this day.

            Care to concoct some other BS excuse?

        2. Dannyboyo2 – the real question is what does the information released actually mean ?

          And the answer is “we do not know”

          The information released does not even implicate Epstain in a Crime.

          I am not saying Epstain is innocent. Only that nothing made public so far PROVES a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

          Some of the information releases is embarrassing – such as Rep. Paskett geting direction from Epstain on how to question Cohen to get Trump.
          But none of it is proof of criminal conduct.

          I absolutely hope everyone affiliated with Epstain who engaged in Pedophillia is prosecuted and if not publicly destroyed.

          But thus far all we have is lots of photos etc that show no evidence of crimes.

        3. “It would easily had cost Trump his re-election bid.”

          Trump’s supporters don’t care. Trump doesn’t care. They don’t believe women should have rights and certainly would not tolerate having a woman presiding over the country; being Black was entirely unacceptable.

      2. “The CIVIL cases against the Epstein estate were still open after the CRIMINAL cases were closed because Epstein killed himself. ”
        Correct – that has ZERO bearing on Biden or Trump’s ability to release any of this.

        “Trump promised to release all the files. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino also promised to do so.”
        And the courts shut that down. TGhe reason Trump did not realease the files on a Criminal investigation is the same reason Biden did not.
        It is a violation of the rights of people who were not indicted or prosecuted.

        The Question is not why weren’t documents released, but why weren’t people prosecuted ?

        “But….once Trump realized his name was all over those files”
        Every billionaire and every significant public figure in the United States is in those records.
        Some of them probably committed crimes. Most of them did nothing more than having the bad tatse to appear in public with Esptain.

        Do you have a magic want that can sort between those who were conspiring with Epstein to commit crimes and those who were not ?

        At this point we do not have any idea of the scale of malfeasance involving Epstain.

        None of the released information show crimes.
        None of the released information shows anyone even socially with women we KNOW are underage.

    3. Why did Trump fight so hard to stop the release?

      Why did Epstein die on Trump’s watch with Trump’s pick in charge of the imprisonment?

  5. Just add this to another dead fisherman tall tail. Where were the CIA and ex high ranking Military heroes telling the troops that they should not obey orders from Obama? The 542 drone strikes that Obama authorized killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians. As he reportedly told senior aides in 2011: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”
    A Democratic Senator came out of the briefing on the strikes on the drug running boats and said that he had in all his years never seen anything like it. Oh indeed he had. 324 dead civilians versus two dead fishermen casting their nets to catch poison that would kill Americans. One debunked story after another and they still think you’re dumb enough to not figure it out. I guess some of you still are.

  6. “2 US soldiers and 1 civilian interpreter killed in ambush in Syria”

    All right, this is all Biden’s fault. As long as trump is president, everything that goes wrong in the world is Biden’s fault.

    1. Hey! It’s a good day for you! Your TDS is rampant. You are angry and depressed. You got triggered before you finished your morning toilet!

      Even though every letter you type is a Libtard lie, I am happy that you are one miserable, depressed Arsehole who will never have a happy day as long as you waste oxygen on this planet.

      Makes my day!

  7. Dear Prof Turley,

    Well, the best way to resolve this profound dilemma about any cover-ups or frame-ups [of Trump’s sexual peccadillos] is to release the Epstein Files. In toto. .. and lets take a gander.

    *iirc, Trump’s DoJ on the 12th day of Christmas has 6 days to do just that. .. lol.

    1. Well, the best way to resolve this profound dilemma about any cover-ups or frame-ups [of Trump’s sexual peccadillos]

      dgsnowden would prefer that we join him in ignoring that this is just another in a long list of Democrat hypocritical attempts to smear Trump, while hiding their elected politicians and billionaire donors that dgsnowden pretends he still isn’t aware were hand in condom with Epstein. And doing so well after the point he was a known sex offender.

      *iirc, dgsnowden hasn’t assured us his post isn’t to provide cover for him hoping to get off on some picture or other that might be released in the Epstein files – perhaps some pictures of scantily clad young boys. Call it “dgsnowden’s sexual peccadilloes”

      1. Obviously, the big wig ‘hypocritical Democrats’ don’t know their *ss from a hole in the ground. .. or we wouldn’t be in such a dark place.

        What about you? .. . I bet Trump could grab you ‘by the p*ssy’ and you would sing songs about him?

        *my peccadilloes are NOYB.

        1. What about you? .. . I bet Trump could grab you ‘by the p*ssy’ and you would sing songs about him?

          dgsnowden’s mangina is showing…

          *he doesn’t want us to watch him/it try and fit one of his peccadilloes into that mangina.

    2. There is this pesky thing called the constitution that gets in the way.
      What is coming out now is from the epstain estate – that is not a constitutional problem.

      It is my understanding that after Congress voted to release informatin the democrat judges backed down.
      They should not have. Congress can not pass a law to ignore the constitution.

  8. Both Democrats and Media continue in this endless manipulation, and/or surgically-excised selection, of facts and materials, to intentionally create many of these these impressions/perceptions.

    I am further reminded of the (1) daily onslaught of messaging from the media, headlining stories and interviewing persons who are willing to say that what Trump did- about this or that- was “illegal,” or “likely illegal,” (2) –followed by Sunday morning political shows that speciously attempt to show “fairness and balance” by having a single conservative or Republican on a panel (usually one of two men who lost to Trump in their presidential bids: Christie or Kasich), (3) followed with interviews of a Congressional Republican, who generally appears first but is then followed by a Democrat who eviscerates the Republican with no chance for rebuttal or objection, (4) followed by more bombardment of media headlines and stories about Trump’s “questionable” moves, policies, or plans, and finally (5) after all these daily drip drip drip manipulated media reports, “new polling showing that a majority of Americans disapprove…”

    It’s really quite funny. Perhaps Margaret Brennan or Kristen Welker or George Stephanopoulos ought to interview an “expert” psychologist about the “Underdog Effect” and its backfired consequences in politics.

    1. Lin, that’s amusing, because Republicans did it all the time during the Biden administration. It was relentless releases of cherry-picked excepts, quotes, and “evidence” showing how Biden was taking bribes and engaging in corruption.

      Republican seem to forget that Trump was a Democrat when he was chummy with Epstein. Perhaps if they framed it that way they would have been more willing to release all the files.

      1. “that’s amusing.” Try and be a little more original. We have all your old posts and can see when you started using words and terms.

        1. And….? What’s your point? That you’re original?

          Did YOU know Trump was a Democrat when he was best buds with Epstein?

          1. That sentence is a deliberate lie. There was no “best buds”, only the far more distant relationship of two people in the same circles. Trump cut ties with Epstein before Epstein was exposed as a criminal. You don’t even understand his ideology. Yes, he was a Democrat in the 2,000s, but he was a Republican earlier and then part of the Reform Party. His ideology is so mixed (a good thing) that, as a Republican, he attracts Democrats and reformers. We are lucky to have him and you fail because your innuendo is based on lies.

            1. “ Trump cut ties with Epstein before Epstein was exposed as a criminal. You don’t even understand his ideology.”

              Sure S. Meyer, he “cut” ties with Epstein when he was exposed. But he knew what kind of person Epstein was because he was best buddies with him long before he was exposed. Trump shared the same tastes and perverted views of women with Epstein. That is why is get so nervous whenever he is mentioned in the files. Because there might be something incriminating or really embarrassing that he does not want the world to know.

              1. “Sure S. Meyer, he “cut” ties with Epstein when he was exposed.”

                Take note of what a liar George Svelaz is. Trump cut ties well before Epstein was exposed. Every ounce of GSX’s limited intelligence goes to his attempts to misstate facts and opinions of others.

                Another lie. “was because he was best buddies with him long before he was exposed.” There is no evidence that Trump was ever best buddies with Epstein. That is an idea made up by the left and copied without thought by GSX.

                Another lie. ” Trump shared the same tastes and perverted views of women with Epstein. “ Most men share some tastes with Epstein; they like women. You stretch the viewpoint to such an extent that it is easy to know that you are a liar.

                “That is why gets so nervous whenever he is mentioned in the files.” That is a perverted opinion from a perverted fellow. If Trump had had any involvement with Epstein. of the type you mention, under Biden, it would have been showered all over the MSM, whether doing so was legal or not.

                Any leftist not infected by TDS would recognize what a liar you are.

                1. S. Meyer, you’re getting incoherent again. Why do you support sex traffickers and their enablers. Making excuses for them just makes you look worse.

                  1. ” Why do you support sex traffickers and their enablers.”

                    Everyone on the blog has seen me try to stop such people. Many times, I have said that you should be kept far away from the public schools and children.

      2. “Lin, that’s amusing . . .” (GeorgeX)

        L: What’s it like having three small creatures always nipping at your heels?

  9. Were there truly damning evidence against Trump in the Epstein Files, the Dems would have released it during the last election about five seconds after the first poll indicating Harris was losing. The Dem had access to the file for four years yet released nothing. That tells me everything.

    1. Republicans didn’t care Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and they would blame Biden for it. “See what Biden forced him to do!”

  10. And, yet, the Democrats now have AI to further the fundamental transformation of our constitutional republic in any nefarious manner desired. Wait for the mid-terms and the last minute dirty surprises.

    1. Darren moved to New Zealand? That happens to be the safest place on earth if there’s a nuclear holocaust. Something about winds and fall out.

      There’s a great you tube video on what to do if you win the lottery. There are actually 13 things to do and the first is to not tell anyone but contact a lottery attorney who’ll establish an entity to collect the money. Why? The winners are never free of the pirhana if they make themselves known.

      It reminds me of the photos of women with Epstein. They’ve won the lottery and hold a winning ticket.

      That’s precisely analogous to Epstein’s actual work as a donor entity for billionaires who are anonymous and give millions to various endeavors and charities. Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.

      Jackpot!

  12. There really is no bottom to the sewer the dems and their minions are splashing around in. All this accomplished for myself was once again giving me gratitude that Elon freed Twitter and loosened the lying media apparatus’ chokehold on information

    Despicable, juvenile, and vile, but that is now my default expectation of the modern left, and remember: I used to vote for some of these people. Never again.

    1. Sure. Once Twitter was converted to X, the advertisers bailed in droves and the conservatives were left disappointed when the liberals went to Bluesky because the conservatives couldn’t drop juvenile insults into their comments.

  13. All this media pushing the sphere into the light of Heterosexual Deviancy at the cost of Males and the persistent Victimization of Heterosexual Females cannot be health for the Younger in their sexual prime Generation. The Media has cornered them in such a way that Homosexuality and Monosexuality is the only safe way to express (un-repress) their biologically driven needs.

    That combined with the fact that there are very very few places (Clubs/Discos/Shopping Malls, …) left to go to safely mingle with the opposite attraction (straight or gay), because of shooting and violence (and the Business Establishment’s cost of Liability).

    These pictures of Donnie are of an era in his time when People (straight or gay) were allowed to mingle freely, without social and societal rules and consequences forbearing their every move. To my knowledge Donnie in his promiscuous youth was a very up-standing Guy. He didn’t Drink, He didn’t use Cocaine or smoke Weed, as the vices around him , like Studio 54 … etcetera, were carrying on all around him.

    There are very few things left for a young person to indulge in without it being stored on the block-chain of their life’s record. So Yes we should be concerned that the Young People will not have a life to reflect upon and admire, with mistakes learned and experiences found rewarding.

    Epstein’s Island Dungeon was very wrong, but privileges extended to a privileged class allowed and facilitated it, by the same Liberals that want these social freedoms without constraints (therein the hypocrisy).

    The Media’s Psychological ‘herding’ of the population with contravening messages of Good & Bad is unhealthy and leads to psychological conflict. The Question Is: Is it Intentional ?
    Free Speech is absolutely essential to an open Society, but the ‘intentional’ diversion of the speech medium to deliberately create an atmosphere of psychological conflict is absolutely wrong. An awareness of these ‘effect’ needs to be communicated so that the Young Population understands that speech is a tool that can be used for Good & Bad, of which can deeply effect their lives in profound ways.

  14. It doesn’t matter what Trump did anymore. Hate possesses those who believe he did, and there is no evidence short of stone tablets carved by God that will convince them otherwise.

    1. The Republicans made a golden idol in the shape of Trump to worship at the RNC.

      Flinty bankers in the USA won’t loan Trump money. His reputation is well known and not good.

  15. I thought “false light” referred to the photographs women attach to their online dating profiles.

      1. That’s right, engage that comment. This blog is dead because people engage these guys.

        Everyone left it because people engaged them. Boycott the sight as dead.

    1. Evidence? Someone might make the same unsupported claims against you or anyone else. Doesn’t make it true.

    2. Problem is that this is not false. We already know Trump raped underage girls.

      Your defense will be the same as Rachael Maddows? An Obama judge will say your audience knows you get paid to lie to them, and therefore it wasn’t defamation when everyone knew you was lying and didn’t take you seriously?

      George Stephanopoulos And ABC Apologize; Pay Trump $15 Million For Lying Trump Committed Rape
      https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/14/trump-abc-stephanopoulos-settlement-00194391

      Your problem is not only your complete lack of credibility, but also throwing out that Biden/George Stephanopoulos lie. The last year has shown us your fellow Democrat liars having to pay tens of MILLIONS of dollars for telling that lie.

      But you feel safe because not even Trump is going to spend the money to sue you for your welfare checks for repeating the same lie that cost George Stephanopoulis $15 million dollars.

  16. I felt the President’s team erred in his 1st term in not taking Hillary Clinton to the woodshed for her server because ‘we the people’ needed to see her actions, and those of Team Blue, in the cleansing action of sunshine. Meanwhile, justice is always implied to be blind yet nothing could be further from the truth and thus, the binding over her eyes should be depicted on her wrists.

    1. They couldn’t. She didn’t commit a crime. Plus Trump talked a lot but in the end it was all just bluster for the crowds.

        1. Nope, Comey said he email server issue broke department policy. Not the law. That is why they couldn’t prosecute her for a crime.

          1. Yes, X, Comey glossed over with
            “Even if she did notice the [Classified] markings, ‘I think it’s possible — possible — that she didn’t understand what a
            C meant when she saw it in the body of the e-mail like that,’ he [Comey] said.”
            https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi-director-james-comey-hillary-clinton-email-probe/story?id=41044927

            The State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual states that senior staffers receive training on “identifying and marking” classified materials” annually, and it is considered mandatory.

            1. She was also the Secretary of State with high security clearance. Hegseth used a third party app to discuss classified military plans. According to you he should be criminally indicted. No?

              1. “She was also the Secretary of State with high security clearance. Hegseth used a third party app to discuss classified military plans.”
                Well, thank you for making anonymous’ argument for him.

                Guess what I found on AI:
                “Yes, Hillary Clinton’s campaign used the Signal app for secure communications, especially after experiencing hacking incidents. The app is known for its strong encryption and was chosen to protect sensitive discussions.”

                1. Lin, you trust AI? The same AI that accused Turley of being a sex abuser?

                  HIllary Clinton’s campaign is not the government. Right? Hegseth SHARED classified military operations on signal to a reporter who was added by mistake and they never knew who he was. Pretty sure that is far worse and embarrassing. Why would Hegseth need to use Signal over ultra secure military channels? Perhaps because he was incompetent or an idiot?

                  1. Hey X. Knowing Lin, I suspect she was comparing Clinton who had so much more experience and time with classified info that she should have known better, and probably did. Sounds like sarcasm, went right over your head, she tells you that even lefty AI points out that Hillary used Signal for “secure communications.”
                    I don’t know, just guessing, go ask Lin.
                    And WTH are you talking about, “Hillary’s campaign is not government?” what are you even talking about?

                2. The Signal app is less secure when random people are added to the distribution as Hegseth did. In any case the military has their own communication apps and Hegseth should have used those. As it stands neither Hillary nor Hegseth should be involved in Department-head positions.

          2. Nope, Comey said he email server issue broke department policy. Not the law.

            Nope. George X is spewing his psychotic lies again. The indicted felon Comey did say she committed multiple crimes – but that no “reasonable prosecutor” like his favorite Jack Smith would have ever decided to prosecute her for those lies.

            George X… don’t give us the excuse you started day drinking early today for that pathetic attempted lie. You usually are slightly more imaginative than this.

            1. “ The indicted felon Comey did say she committed multiple crimes – but that no “reasonable prosecutor” like his favorite Jack Smith would have ever decided to prosecute her for those lies.”

              ROFL! Comey never said she committed crimes. No reasonable prosecutor would pursue because they knew there was nothing they could criminally charge her with. Breaking policy is not the same breaking the law. Plus they would have had to prove she had intent to share the classified info. It’s extremely difficult and Turley admitted that much at the time.

              1. Comey said, “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding handling classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

                It’s pretty amazing how you often spout off with long posts pretending you know what you are talking about only to get humiliated – yet keep coming back for more humiliation.

                I guess everybody should have a hobby. I just didn’t realize being publicly humiliated is a hobby.

                Go to 12:35 mark of the video for the quote.

                  1. You claimed Clinton merely violated “policy”. That is false. Comey used wishy washy words because in our system of justice people are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. But he’d decided not to charge her DESPITE finding she’d violated statutes designed to protect classified information.

                    If you’d bothered to watch more of Comey’s press conference, he also said this:

                    “FBI investigators read all of the approximately 30,000 emails Secretary Clinton provided to the State Department in 2014.”

                    “From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Department in 2014, 110 emails were determined to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received.”

                    “8 of those email chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent.”

                    “36 of those chains contained Secret information at the time, and 8 contained Classified information at the time.”

                    To any person who is not a Democrat hack, Comey made it clear Clinton was found to have violated statutes when she chose to mishandle classified information.

                    The fix was in.

                    We also know those around her lied and manufactured the fake Russia collusion hoax to deflect attention away from her mishandling classified information and put it on Trump.

                    Please continue humiliating yourself.

            2. Anonymous, Comey was never indicted. Didn’t you know? None of the charges were valid at the time the grand jury was convened. Insurance lawyer Halligan was not legally in charge of anything.

              1. James Comey sold his reputation and career to ‘get Trump’ and didn’t succeed. That makes him a class A loser. I hope all he has left are sad walks on the beach. Can’t even deep state right.

      1. They couldn’t. She didn’t commit a crime.

        They could have but didn’t. And she committed as many crimes as you’ve posted lies here in defense of felonious Democrats.

        1. No, they couldn’t. The only way they could bring up charges is if they had enough evidence to ensure a conviction. They didn’t and that’s the problem.

          Can you name the crimes and supporting statutes? Just one would suffice.

          1. Can you name the crimes and supporting statutes? Just one would suffice.

            Can you name the previous FBI Director before Comey who made himself Attorney General For A Day, to proclaim that the DoJ and Attorney General were not prosecuting a crime?

            Just one would suffice.

    2. Well, John, if they had she would have relied on the precedent that the State Department head under Bush the Lesser used the RNC data servers for the same sort of activity, deleted 10X the emails when the lid was lifted. Unlike many government secure data servers, the one Hillary was using was never hacked. It was only identified because those receiving emails had their servers hacked.
