A resurfaced clip shows sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pleading the Fifth when he was asked during a deposition if he ever socialized with underage girls around Donald Trump.
The video clip, unearthed by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, shows Epstein responding to questions during a March 2010 deposition. The disgraced financier was questioned by an attorney of an alleged victim, Vice News previously reported.
The answer really should have been “fuck the consequences” from the start. It wasn’t justified before because there could be diplomatic and economic fallout, but we’re now in a political environment where the previous protectors of the status quo are willing to push toward that result and the lie at the core of a lot of MAGA is bucking their leadership to push in the same direction, so even if they haven’t both become better people en masse, they might get there anyway.
