'They have secrets': Ex-US attorney hints Trump knows worse yet to come from Epstein docs
The stunning release of a photograph of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein holding a joke novelty check as payment for a woman at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate may be a precursor to even worse revelations about Trump and his former friend.
Appearing on MSNBC on Tuesday morning, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade claimed the photo, which has been described as “Epstein and a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joking about selling a 'fully depreciated' woman to Donald Trump for $22,500," is far more alarming than the actual birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote to his pal Epstein, which was also revealed on on Monday after being hinted at weeks ago.
McQuade was asked on “Morning Joe, “Where do you see this going from a legal perspective?”
“I found this item even more troubling than the drawing because of what it suggests,” she began. “Now, of course, it appears that it was created by some member, It may be a completely fabricated joke, but, you know, people make jokes based on some grain of truth because that's what makes it funny.”
“So I think it raises a lot of questions,” she continued. “I also think the drawing suggests, you know, the drawing itself is sort of bawdy, but it suggests a close relationship with Trump — if it's authentic — referring to Jeffrey Epstein as his pal and that they have secrets together. So I think it raises a lot of questions as to where it's going.”
“I am very cognizant of protecting the identities and the privacy of the survivors here, that's very important,” she elaborated. “I'm even cognizant of protecting the identities of subjects of investigation for whom there was insufficient evidence to charge. But one thing President Trump could do immediately is to say, in an effort to clear my name once and for all, I hereby direct the Justice Department to disclose every piece of material, whether it's a document, an image, or a video that includes me. Let's put that out there and let's put this scandal to rest.
"He could do that, but he's not, and why is he not doing it? I think it is for fear that there are things like this, or other things that would cause him embarrassment, if not shame, within his base.”
