THE TELL-TALE HEART
By Cash Michaels
When you were a kid, ever read or hear the story of “The Tell-Tale Heart?’
It’s about this man who commits a serious crime - a murder - and hides the body. But when authorities get close to where he’s hidden the truth, he starts sweating and acting weird in front of everybody, fearful that they will uncover that evidence in front of his face.
And the closer they get, the louder the guilty man "hears" the beating heart of his victim. Hears it to the point where he can’t stand it anymore, and confesses.
Kind of reminds me of Trump and the Epstein files.
Now I'm not saying Trump has killed anybody, unless they were in a fishing boat near Venezuela lately. Good reason to stay on shore, and switch to chicken, in my opinion.
Also, as of this writing, no conclusive evidence has been uncovered linking Donald John Trump, purported billionaire and currently the most corrupt president of the United States in history, to the heinous and fiendish child sex trafficking activities of now deceased billionaire buddy and convicted pedophile/sex offender, financier Jeffrey Epstein.
And special note to pathetic right-wing talk show failure Megan Kelly - yes, Megyn, young girls ages 14 and 15 are still considered children in our society, no matter what your consistently ignorant mind and mouth has to say!
Trump and Epstein were close friends for a ten-year stretch of their lives, hung out together, and enjoyed many of the fruits of being wealthy playboys, which included being around beautiful young women and wannabe models. In fact, in 2002, Trump told New York Magazine that he had known Epstein for 15 years, and that he was a "terrific guy" who liked young, beautiful women as much as he did.
Trump maintains that he never visited Epstein's island of sin like so many other rich and powerful men at the time, so he never took part in whatever debauchery went on there.
Notice, however, that Trump never talks about hanging out at Epstein's Manhattan penthouse, from where the FBI later found lots and lots of videotapes, still pictures and documents detailing Epstein's rancid life. That evidence comprises the Epstein files that are suppose to be released now, material that was used to convict Epstein and eventually put him away in federal prison.
Those are the same Epstein files Attorney Gen. Pam Bondi controls the release of, that Congress has now ordered her to release and make public.
And they are the same Epstein files that Donald Trump is scared past his goldie locks everyone will see and come away shaking their heads over.
But that does not mean, on its face, that Trump was involved in any illegal or nefarious activities that his pal Jeffrey was perpetrating.
And until there’s evidence to the contrary, then that’s just where that ball lays. We can’t prove it, so, based on circumstantial evidence, we can only assume, or suspect. But we can’t flat out say it.
So then, why in the ham sandwich is that same Donald John Trump now acting so guilty about something he has repeatedly labeled “a hoax” perpetrated by the Democrats and the media?
The Mad King of Corrupt-a-Lago is certainly acting guilty about something, especially since folks on both sides of the political aisle started demanding release of the Epstein files, and Congress gave us a taste last week by releasing 23,000 emails from the Epstein estate, many with Trump’s name featured prominently in them.
Maybe he’s acting guilty because he knows all it takes is some enterprising investigative reporter to actually find the evidence a lot of folks have already set the table for.
I mean, c’mon. Most of what Trump has gotten himself in big trouble for in the past has been sexual in nature.
For example, the Access Hollywood tapes, where we actually heard Trump shamelessly bragging about grabbing young women by their genitals. Gee, please correct me if I'm wrong, but that’s criminal behavior in most states. Apparently that was acceptable conduct in the circles Trump hung with back in the day.
He was successfully sued for sexually assaulting writer E. Jean Carroll (who, by the way, according to Wikipedia, “In 2020 and 2021, for The Atlantic,....wrote a series of articles that profiled several of the 25 women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct), and was convicted of 34 felonies in New York for paying hush money to a porn star he had an affair with to protect his 2016 presidential campaign.
Again, behavior Trump has been found guilty of in various courts of law. Behavior he’s vigorously denied, but according to the courts, had no problem indulging in when he was younger. Now this clown has the utter gall to call his pal, Epstein, a "sick pervert" who he kicked out of Mar-a-Lago (for the record, Epstein said in an email that he was never a member).
Talk about the pot calling the frying pan black!
And what I find quite interesting about Trump bragging about grabbing young women by the genitals, or sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll, or screwing a porn star while his wife, Melania, was pregnant with his son, Barron, and paying people to cover it up, is that in all of these cases, plus the cases we don’t know about, Trump never gave a damn about the victims.
Only what they could do to him one day.
So yes, I fully understand why he’s shaking in his shoes to be eventually proven to have had anything to do with the criminally perverted activities of his ace boon buddy Epstein when it came to the sexual exploitation/molestation of female children.
Because Trump knows that Americans, especially MAGA, WILL NOT tolerate that bag of bricks if it’s ever proven. There’s no explaining THAT behavior. Not now, not in a million years.
And that’s why it doesn’t surprise me, or anyone else for that matter, that Trump would prefer to be on the other side of the world, than ever meet with Epstein’s victims - the children Epstein once sexually abused.
Mind you, when Trump ran for president last year, he was full of vim and vigor in front of his MAGA base about releasing the Epstein files. Hell, once he got into office, his Ice Barbie Attorney General Pam Bondi bragged on Fox News that she had the files “on my desk.” As president, Trump has always had the power to release ALL of the files. He released the MLK and JFK files, for instance, but not Epstein.
When ten ton hints that there was incriminating stuff in those files about Trump was suspected, that comedy act hit a brick wall, didn’t it? And now, we’re in the midst of a coverup the likes of which we haven’t seen since Watergate. This man even allowed use of the Situation Room in the White House to try to cajole several Republicans to take their names off of the House discharge petition sheet to force the vote. Nice try, but no dice.
Sunday, realizing that he was going to lose and lose big, Trump switched strategies, changed his tune, and started pronouncing that he’s all for releasing the Epstein files. That told me, and everybody else on Planet Earth, he had something up his sleeve. After all, there is nothing he'd like better than for the media to forget about all of this, and pay more attention to the "great accomplishments" of his administration.
Yeah, and I would like for Yogi and Boo-Boo to leave my damn picnic basket alone! In the real world, neither is going to happen any time soon!
Apparently, if the files are ever released, only the ones that are not included in the new Democrat-Epstein connection investigation will see the light of day. Boy, that gives Pam Bondi a wide berth to justify putting some convenient screws in the machinery.
In fact, Bondi held a presser Wednesday after the bill's psssage saying, "There's information, new information, additional information...we will continue to follow the law to investigate any leads."
The stall is well underway, folks.
So anything involving Bill Clinton, former Treasury Sec. Larry Summers and… oh wow, Donald Trump, could be held back because they’re part of an "active" investigation into Democrats.
People forget, way back in the 1990s as a prominent New York City business tycoon, Trump was a Democrat who hung out with the likes of Bill and Hillary, and gave money to them too. If you're going to investigate Democrats of the time, you have to investigate Trump.
Assuming you're doing a real investigation!
The House had forced the issue with a near unanimous 427-1 discharge petition vote Tuesday to release the files featuring Republican “jail break” support, after Speaker Johnson did all he could to delay the inevitable. Republican senators followed suit that same day with a unanimous consent vote joined by Democrats in the Senate, sending the new law to Trump, who said he’d sign it. At the time of this writing, Trump hadn't put his black Magic Marker to paper yet. And though he might, he's showing really no interest in doing so.
My point here is that, just like now, when Trump was younger, he cared about no one but himself. He felt it was his right to do anything he wanted, to whomever he wanted, and was entitled to get away with it, whether it was not paying construction people who worked for him; or stiffing “suckers and losers” with scams like Trump steaks or the legendary Trump University; or as documented earlier, young women.
Trump knows how far he went with Epstein, and apparently is deathly afraid that his old buddy is going to reach up from the grave, and crush everything Trump has either fraudulently built or successfully stolen.
And he’s scared stiff.
Published reports have Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, saying in an interview that FBI Director Kash Patel is having the Epstein files scrubbed of any negative references to Trump at a facility in Virginia. Mark Epstein added that his late brother, who died reportedly by suicide in his jail cell awaiting another trial in 2019, definitely had "dirt" on Trump.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. Bondi and Patel worship the marbled ground Trump drags his gold-plated tail on, so protecting him at all costs is something I can see being a top agenda item for them.
But you know what? This shouldn’t be about Trump. It should be about the young victims of Jeffrey Epstein who were raped and abused by him and his billionaire friends from all over the world, now all grown-up. These are courageous heroes now, standing strong for years, finally successfully demanding that Congress secure justice for them.
None have implicated our coward of a president in any of their torture. And yet, they’re asking the same questions everyone else is.
"Why won’t you stand with us?" "Why would you use us just to get elected?" "What are you hiding?" "Show some leadership!""You have been a national embarrassment!"
These women will ALWAYS deserve our support and respect.
Whatever it is, it is keeping Trump up at night, trying to come up with ways to distract from us finding the truth. Trying to deflect critical attention elsewhere. Who knows, maybe the deep, dark secret about Trump in the Epstein files has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with corruption, some illegal scam he can still be held accountable for that Epstein held over his head.
When a corrupt man gets this nervous, it’s like the story of the tell-tale heart.
Trump knows it’s just a matter of time before the world finds out why he's so nervous about the Epstein files.
And he won’t be able to talk his way out of this one when we do.
