The Epstein / Trump Timeline Keeps Changing (UPDATED)

The pathological- liar- in- chief's Epstein timeline keeps unraveling, with the help of a book by some intrepid reporters at the Miami Herald:

Jeffrey Epstein continued to be a member of Donald Trump’s luxury private members club for more than a year after the billionaire financier was indicted, according to Mar-a-Lago membership documents seen by the authors of a book.

The president told reporters that he cut ties with Epstein after the pedophile “stole” female workers from his exclusive Florida members club, but the revelation that Epstein was allegedly still a member of the club seven years after Epstein poached Virginia Giuffre from the spa at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 raises questions over Trump’s version of events.

Epstein was a member of the club until October 2007, more than a year after he was indicted and released on bail, according to The Grifter’s Club: Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Selling of the Presidency. In the footnotes of their book, the team of Miami Herald journalists Sarah Blaskey, Caitlin Ostroff, Nicholas Nehamas, and Jay Weaver reported: “The authors viewed a membership list showing that Epstein’s account had been closed.” The book reports that the “membership log shows his account at the club was closed in October 2007.”

A report in the New York Post in the same month quoted a source saying he had been banned. “He would use the spa to try to procure girls. But one of them, a masseuse about 18 years old, he tried to get her to do things,” a source told Page Six. “Her father found out about it and went absolutely ape-[bleep]. Epstein’s not allowed back.”  [snip]

It is not known whether Epstein visited Mar-a-Lago while on bail. The New York Post said in the same article that Epstein denied he was banned even then and told them that he had “recently [been] invited to an event there,” although he did not name the event.

The banishment of Epstein came 15 months after he was indicted by a Florida grand jury and surrendered at the Palm Beach precinct to be charged in July 2006. Only one count of soliciting prostitution was filed against him at the time, but the case drew widespread media coverage, which disclosed allegations of his sexual contact with minors...  (our emphasis)

The book was published about 5 years ago.  Its focus, as the subtitle reveals, is on the Malignant Fascist's use of Mar-a-Lago as his center for presidential grifting and shakedowns.  Perhaps a later edition might explore the Mar-a-Lago Trump- to- Epstein pipeline of teenage female workers that has been reported in recent days (and quid pro quos, etc.).  

In the meantime, the 2016 deposition of "Katie Johnson/ Jane Doe" detailing her rapes by the MF and Epstein in 1994, when she was 13 years old, can provide a stomach-churning reminder of what these two "best friends" liked to do, and why the MF so desperately wants to memory hole the Epstein files.

UPDATE: The Republican- led House Oversight Committee today issued subpoenas to turn over the Epstein files and for depositions from the Clintons and former DOJ/FBI officials:

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued numerous new subpoenas on Tuesday -- including one to the Department of Justice for the complete Jeffrey Epstein files and another for depositions in the coming months with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Comer said he wants the Justice Department to turn over the "full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files" on or before Aug. 19...

DOJ won't turn over the files, redacted or not, because Trump is all over them.  We'll see if any of the depositions come in if that's the case.
