OBVIOUSLY Epstein was blackmailing everybody. It is insulting for these media people to act so surprised about this.

What they ought to be doing is asking what role Esptein's BFF played in this extortion ring.

And that is pretty damned obvious as well. Trump frequently boasts "I know the best people".

THAT was his role in this thing, or at least one of his roles. Trump's job was to recruit people into Epstein's sex trap.

We also know that the Trump Organization was involved in massive money laundering with Deutsche Bank and Putin's circle. So it is likely that Trump was involved in marketing this Kompromat to the FSB and other organizations, with the payoffs coming in the form of money laundering transactions.

When will the media start asking the obvious and extremely pertinent questions?

They can start by looking at the names that are reportedly on Epstein's client list and ask who would be willing to pay for kompromat on these people and how much would they pay.
