Major Trump Donor Found in Epstein’s ‘Black Book’—Thomas Massie
Let’s get right to it, shall we? The initial revelation sparking interest revolves around Representative Thomas Massie, who mentioned a prominent billionaire, John Paulson, as being listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “black book.” The implication here is that this individual, a major donor to the Republican party, including to the Speaker of the House and Trump’s campaign, was connected to Epstein.
The focus isn’t just on Massie’s statements but on the broader implications of the “black book” itself. It’s framed as a potential list of contacts, primarily those of wealthy clients and financiers, leading to speculation about who else might be listed and what their connections might be. The idea is that the identities of those in the book will eventually be revealed, leading to a wave of accountability.
The fact that Trump is reportedly in the book as well raises significant questions. The presence of multiple contact numbers for Trump within the files suggests a close relationship with Epstein. The implication here is that Trump’s intransigence on the subject and the compliance of other officials is not surprising, given the potential for compromising information.
The conversation quickly turns to the Republican party’s role, with suspicions of protection for donors. The suggestion is that the GOP would prioritize protecting powerful figures over holding them accountable. The focus is on exposing powerful pedophiles, as well as, the idea that the DOJ may be working to protect Republican names.
The idea of releasing the names of anyone in the files who has donated to Trump, or is linked to Epstein is popular. This point drives home that any visitor listed in the files has a choice: come clean or be exposed later.
The article touches on the possibility of political violence, with Trump being accused of calling for Massie to be “taken out,” and the role of other political figures, such as Mike Johnson, who is suspected of stalling to protect donors.
The discussion highlights the frustration that this situation isn’t shocking to the public. There is a growing realization that the network of power and influence is a tangled web, and the Epstein case is revealing just how intertwined it is.
