If Trump was an FBI informant on Epstein, he was the worst FBI informant of all time - because none of this stacks up

And yet, his followers have bought it hook, line, and sinker.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

It was never put together good enough to fall apart.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 9 points 19 hours ago

Ridiculous lies tend to do that

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ask yourselves how people typically become informants for the FBI. It's not because they are fine, upstanding citizens.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. If Trump was an informant it means the FBI had identified him as having a fairly close relationship with Epstein, and they may have even had incriminating evidence against him. They just felt it was in their best interest in going after Epstein to cut a deal with Trump.

And note that either the speaker of the house doesn't know that or he thinks the average American doesn't

[–] CandleTiger@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I’m pretty sure the average American doesn’t think too much about where FBI informants come from. That part seems like a decent wager on his disinformation attempt.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Idk it comes up in cop shows a lot and Americans love cop shows

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If Trump ever cut a deal with the feds to roll on Epstein it was to protect himself from going down for fucking kids. He would not have been an “informant.”

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

That's what an informant is. A criminal being offered a deal, amnesty, money, etc to snitch.

Trump RAPED CHILDREN because he was an FBI Informant Spying on a Man that he called an American Hero who was a HOAX and DIDNT Exist!

No dude... It's like the Mafia... The Mafia murders and then gets set free for being an informant... Trump raped and THEN gained freedom by being an informant.

Any sane person knows if the fed let trump be president then America is not honest or real.

There are people that have murdered 20+ people that were set free by American feds... Remember America is a business before it's for humanity.

We were lied to.

What I meant to say was that Trump was actually a masked vigilante who was only hiding aboard the Lolita Express in order to tie Epstein up and turn him in to the authorities. It was an honest mistake when our vigilante mistook his erect penis for said rope, and multiple girls' orifices for our ghoulish antagonist.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Equally fishy story since when is the last time Trump's flaccid little member has been truly erect?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Probably the last time he was on the island.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Man, I really can't wait for somebody to just

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 2 points 18 hours ago

Cheeseburger from heaven

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago

But the files don’t exist.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

And if we had any viable news agency in this country the first question out of their mouth would be, "If Trump wasn't an FBI informant, then what was he doing there?"

This is the america all the people that were meant to teach you life told you was worth dying for...

Do you still trust them? Are you still willing to fund them through tax?

[–] William_Nilliam@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

bocchi-head-shake no way.

I cannot believe trump wasn't secretly a white hat pedophile working deep deep undercover to expose all his high society friends

[–] ComRed2@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Wait it actually didn't stick at least with the maga nutters? I'm genuinely shocked.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Are they saying this as like a defense? They understand that's not better, right?

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago
[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

What?! No! I am flabbergasted that this would happen! Who could have foreseen this?!

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

how many lies will it take Donnie? How many lies will you need to spin for this to go away?

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Remember when "white hat pedophiles" was a joke?

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah I wouldn't doubt the fed rep the trump Mafia

[–] furrowsofar@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't know why people ever voted for Trump or are surprised by any of this. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck. His character has been well known for a long time.
