The former state attorney of Palm Beach County singled out one Jeffrey Epstein email exchange in the batch that was released on Wednesday that should alarm Donald Trump’s White House the most.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” attorney Dave Aronberg, claimed there is a wealth of information contained in the accused pedophile's emails that could cause trouble for the president, but one in particular stood out to him because of the year it was dated.
After fellow guest John Heilemann suggested, “So one of the questions here is how many of these emails can be taken at face value, given that many of the people who are involved on either side of the to and from subject line are people who, you know you wouldn't want to put up put up on a polygraph because they probably fail,” Aronberg jumped in.
“Yeah, it's a good point, good question,” he conceded. “But keep in mind, in 2011, that's when you saw perhaps the most damaging email. That's the one where Jeffrey Epstein called Trump ‘The dog that didn't bark.’ That was well before Trump ran for president. I mean, if perhaps it was before the initial attempt, but not the serious one in 2016.”
“So what incentive would Jeffrey Epstein have to lie back then in that email?” he suggested. “This, as you correctly said, is all a self-inflicted wound because Trump should have gotten in front of all of this and said, ‘I kicked the guy out of the club. He's a creep. And yes, I was friends with him, but I'm going to do radical transparency and release all the files,’ because the cover-up can be worse than the crime.”
“There is no evidence in here of a crime by Donald Trump, but he's sure acting like there is. And the controversy isn't going away until they release the files,” he advised.
