General Discussion

1) Epstein had relations within the Putin circle, which is how Epstein made the leap from humble school teacher on a small salary to big time financier and money launderer with key Russian oligarchs.

2) Trump got Russia's attention, perhaps because he had properties that are perfect for money laundering (casinos and luxury condos). The KGB started grooming Trump (aka agent Krasnov) around 1987.

3) Epstein was close to Trump continuously after the KGB started recruiting him.

4) In 1998, Epstein or one of that same circle engineered the introduction of Melania. There are many pictures of Epstein, Trump and Melania hanging over the next decade.

5) Also at this time, Epstein was building his kompromat sex operation, obviously with the intention of selling extortion material to the highest bidders, including what was, by then, President Putin and the FSB. Trump was heavily involved in this and undoubtedly helped to entrap important people in that operation.

6) Trump and Melania got married in 2005.

7) At the same time, we know that Trump was highly dependent on Russian money, so much so that Eric said that while most big money operations were in huge trouble by 2008, the Trumps were getting all the money they needed from Russia.

8) From there, we know that Trump continued very closely with Epstein and Putin. The Russians played a major role in swinging the 2016 election, as Putin has boasted himself. And since that time, Trump has worked tirelessly for Putin's interests and always 180 degrees AGAINST the interests of Americans.

IMHO, it is doubtful that the KBG ever would have recruited her because she was too young at the time. It is more likely that Epstein and his associates identified her and decided she could be useful in managing Trump. Their marriage came at exactly the same time that Russia was basically keep Trump out of bankruptcy court, and just before they made a major investment in promoting Trump's rise on the political stage. Putin and the FSB would welcome a little insurance.

We know that there are elements of the Epstein story that Trump simply cannot let get out. And now we are seeing that same level of resistance being applied to Melania. That is pretty good evidence that she is personally a bigger part of this story than anybody has been reporting.
