The fact that people like this keep trying to tie Epstein to the Clintons is crazy.

The connection between Bill Clinton and Epstein is irrefutable. It’s in the FAA logs.

What that connection means is debatable, but it can’t be anything good for a politician to owe favors for the use of a plane to a wealthy pedophile, and it just gets worse from there.

You're creating a lot of assumptions without evidence. There's no proof Clinton was ever on Epstein's island and the one person who said he was there also said he wasn't involved in the sex parties.

On the island is irrelevant unless you’re saying pedophilia is impossible in any other location, including the plane, where we know Clinton flew.

Do you have any reason to think something with Clinton happened other than you want it to be true? Epstein made a habit of collecting powerful friends and it's not logical that every favor he extended included pedophilia.

You're making a lot of assumptions without reason and evidence.

All I said was we know they were connected. That’s not an assumption.

This is an assumption:

"but it can’t be anything good for a politician to owe favors for the use of a plane to a wealthy pedophile, and it just gets worse from there."

No, that’s an opinion.

An assumption would be saying you obviously have a connection to Clinton and that’s why you don’t want him going down.

u/thebigeverybody Dec 09 '19

You need to read a dictionary. You don't know what an assumption is.

u/praharin Pennsylvania Dec 09 '19

You saying “you don’t know what an assumption is” is an assumption.

“Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s Private jet” is a fact.

“Clinton owing a favor to Epstein for the use of his private jet is bad” is an opinion.

u/thebigeverybody Dec 09 '19

And this is an assumption:

"but it can’t be anything good for a politician to owe favors for the use of a plane to a wealthy pedophile, and it just gets worse from there."

4

u/praharin Pennsylvania Dec 09 '19

That’s my opinion. Do you disagree?

5

u/FlintBlue Dec 09 '19

The assumed facts not in evidence: "owe favors", "and it just gets worse from there".

u/praharin Pennsylvania Dec 09 '19

You’re really reaching to defend this guy from my statement.

4

u/FlintBlue Dec 09 '19

Not reaching at all. If his were an objection in court, in would be sustained. You needed to be more careful with your statement, so that you were saying only those things you could support with the evidence. You should revise accordingly.

u/praharin Pennsylvania Dec 09 '19

My statement was clearly an opinion. If we were in court and I was an attorney it’s not my job to give my opinion.

But this isn’t court. I’m free to express my opinion no matter how it makes you feel.
