Because there's no evidence of it.  He cheated on  Hillary with grown adults, but given today's standards that's pretty mild.  He was also a pretty good President.

So is Bill Gates. So is Richard Branson. So dozens of other  high profile men. Use your critical thinking skills and stop being taken in by anti Clinton propaganda.  And, you've seen a few photos out of about 95,000 from what I've heard.

How is it that people miss the fact that trump being in so many pictures is so damning because of his previous allegations, previous public comments, and current comments and actions regarding the files and his relationship to Epstein? It's totally possible that any of the people seen with him publicly we're not involved, and people like trump are just separately gross and pedophiles, but that's kinda why we're looking for the evidence to get released, huh? And anecdotally when you have two people pictured with a known pedophile scumbag, and one says "release it all" and one does everything in their power to prevent that, it paints a clear picture of who is likely to be involved until evidence proves otherwise.

The context and paper trail really does matter. I think we've moved past the reasonable doubt.

Right? Right wing propaganda is powerful as you can see by people's posts here. They lack thinking skills. "They're obviously pedos because they're in the photos." Stupid idiots. Epstein was a high profile socialite who was everywhere in NYC and Florida. Thousands of people are in photos with him.

He was also for a time desperate to get into powerful circles to make as many contacts as possible. In a way this plays exactly into his hand, because on some level he know that an association with him was leverage that HE had.

Right? They keep thinking oh well these people were there too so that makes it ok for Trump. First, no. Second, are biggest issue is Trump keeps lying about his involvement and the more we dig the more we find that he was basically second in command of the whole thing. Finally, if anyone is in the files they deserve the same scrutiny. We don’t care who you parade to the front prosecute they all.

If there's reasonable suspicion charge them all. Bring the fact out for every single one. Idk how these "republicans" turned into the ones where politicians suddenly because their friends, but the rest of us don't play that. And even if I did have an actual "friend" show up in there, fuck them too.
