Do y'all know the connection between Nancy Guthrie and Jeffrey Epstein

I don't see this being discussed much
I just learned this and it's chilling

Savannah Guthrie, Nancy's daughter, was the first TV host to interview Virginia Giuffre and other Epstien victims and air it on TV



Coincidence?
or is someone trying to send a message to other news hosts considering giving air time to the victims?

i mean, if this were a movie, this is exactly the kind of thing that would happen and it would not be a coincidence

...Just sayin'....

a warning to journalists who expose the truth
payback

keep in mind there is eye witness testimony in the epstein files of people saying they saw Trump threaten the victims and he said he would kill them and their family if they ever tell anyone.

the fact that it's happening when the files are just coming out adds to it.

but yes, it could be a coincidence.

I have not stated anything other than the facts

Give me a break dude!

It is not unreasonable to suggest the possibility.

Trump threatened multiple people that he would do exactly this if they talked.

Regardless I said it could be a coincidence and it very well could be.

Also I do not expect you to come back here and apologize. Because there's a good chance that we will never know the truth.

I make no apology and I have nothing to apologize for.

Have a nice day

the gunning down of 2 DC National guardsmen by a former CIA OPERATIVE from Afghanistan. Speculation of the Taliban, at the behest of the Trump cabal, forcing the Afghani to gun them down or else his family back home would be killed by the Taliban.

Nancy Guthrie’s Ring camera showed a bearded suspect with dark wide set almond eyes. Another Afghani forced to do a kidnapping on behest of the Trump/Taliban cabal?

It’s just a thought.

Overweight, masked, and looking for trouble. The mask and jacket seem to be a combination that a family member might recognize based on the styling and trim.

It would make sense that it would be an enforcer of sorts. I'm not saying it is the case, but that it makes sense. You never know with these guys.

it could be both payback and a warning
for all you know, savannah could have been preparing to do more interviews

there's many logical reasons why this could be happening now, if it were a hit job

it's also entirely possible that it is a coincidence.

in either regard it is definitely worth noting

Don’t know if there is anything to it, but I have been thinking that something is really strange about the whole thing. I also find it strange that trump mentioned how concerned he is about it. Why would he be so concerned ? He does not care about anything or anybody. Same with Patel and Bondi giving their best wishes to the family for her safe return. I put nothing past these guys.

It does not explain anything

It raises questions and suspicions that are worthy of being asked and wondered about

Those critical of the post for saying there is no evidence are just as wrong as those saying that is explains anything

Truth is. It's remarkably coincidental at best.
At worst it's entirely possible that it was a warning to others, a payback, or both.

And to treat it as indicative, or suspicious - elevates it far beyond its true status. A 'mere curiosity' - and minor coincidence, is much more probably the case.

What utter tripe !
Could we please have a complete list - of ALL the people, whom have died under suspicious circumstances - 'shortly after testifying .. '

But, more to the point. Am I (and will I continue) scoffing at the 'connection' you attempt in the Guthrie case? You damned bet ! And, as I said - IF in the unlikely event I am proved wrong in my lack of credulity there ... I will be more than happy to come back and make full apology and amends. But - betting chances are real good - that's not going to be necessary.

I don't owe you a "complete" list of anything for making an offhand remark. give me a break. the fact is that multiple people in Epstein's circle have died under unusual circumstances, and there are many mentions in the files of people disappearing, and being threatened.

Virginia Giuffre, 41, was found dead on April 25 in an apparent suicide

Carolyn Andriano, 36, drug overdose

Leigh Skye Patrick, 29, drug overdose

Joe Recarey, the Palm Beach Police detective who led the Epstein investigation, died at 50 on May 25, 2018

Jean-Luc Brunel, the head of a French modeling agency awaiting trial for allegedly trafficking girls to Epstein, was found hanged inside a Paris prison cell in February 2022

Movie producer Steve Bing jumped from the 27th floor of his L.A. apartment building in June 2020 and died at 55 after talking to the FBI about Epstein.

Thomas Bowers, a head of the Deutsche Bank wealth management division, which moved money for the late sex offender, was found hanged inside his California home in November 2019.

that's just a partial list of what i came up with. this isn't my gig. if you don't like my post, sorry. you can go read other posts. have a nice day.

He’s not usually interacting with anyone on an “emotional” level. Not that he has any emotion, but I think you know what I mean.

It’s eerie and I keep thinking it’s a way for him to vicariously enjoy the pain and hurt the family is enduring.

I would put nothing past him.

The TV has not mentioned that to me, in understandable terms any way.

Investigating and understanding the Trump-Epstein Sex Ring will require a federal supercharged Special Prosecutor Unit and new levels of international cooperation. If we don't find, end and remove it all, the fungus and rot will return.

Who remembers how DC Madame “Pampered” Sen. David Vitter?

Who remembers Craig Spence, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort’s partner, who took children on midnight tours of the Reagan White House?

Who remembers Roy Cohn admitted knowing how US Intelligence used children for sexual exploitation to compromise politicians?

Not a critical mass of We the People. And not The New York Times, at all.
