With a pair of weekend retweets, President Donald Trump amplified an unfounded conspiracy theory. It was hardly the first time.
His political career began the same way. Trump has a long history of spreading falsehoods drawn from the conservative fringe. His unlikely rise to the White House was fueled in part by spreading the lie that President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., and he has trafficked in numerous others to malign his opponents and advance his own views.
Now he has used the power of the presidency to promote a baseless claim about the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking another norm of the office and further sowing public confusion over the apparent suicide of one of the most high-profile inmates in the federal system. Epstein, who faced up to 45 years in prison on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, was found dead in his cell in a Manhattan jail early Saturday.

Personal op-ed ,
Well we're right into conspiracy theories , especially ones that are baseless , have no relation to fact or evidence , that are wild speculation where you just pull names and faces from thin air and accuse them of all kinds of far fetched ideas you made up and then invent every type of reason to say it's so , so we can out anyone who denies as a shill and part of the coverup especially creating loads of paranoia and irrational behaviours on the back of it . The ones with absolutely no truth or circumstantial analysis or anything related to critical thinking and devoid of all reality checks are the greatest , that are an absolute waste of time talking about , love them . And we're so glad that Trump is president nowadays .

Btw the flight logs don’t show Clinton going to the island. You can view the logs and the flight start and stops. Last time I looked None ended or started at the island gateway.

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to pin down any trips to the island on the plane either. I know he rode on the plane, and that some of those trips were publicly known, such as multi-nation trip for the Clinton Foundation.
If I remember correctly, one of the girls claimed that there was a party given for Clinton on the island after he left the White House, and that he was flown to the island by Ghislaine on the black helicopter. The girl said she didn't feel safe on the helicopter, but that Clinton complimented Ghislaine on her flying skills.
That's the only specific reference to Clinton on the island that I have found.

Trump's trying to shift the focus away from his own relationship with Epstein hence he pushes a conspiracy theory.
That - Clinton's brithday on the island was reported to be in the evidence by some msm : get hold of that
She [Virginia Guiffre] released a manuscript just hours before Epstein's prison suicide, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his high-profile pals.

While this in no way exonerates Trump in this situation, he did sever ties with Epstein like 15 years ago in an apparently pretty formal/public manner. I agree everyone needs to be looked at and let the chips fall where they may.

Correct. The logs show travel on the 'lolita' plane to many locations. That is where the facts end and speculation begins. Logs show lots of ladies etc., and supposedly there is a bed on the plane, so speculation is bound to occur.
Add in no SS etc, and it only fuels the speculation.
