What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Donald Trump had a 10 billion dollar lawsuit that he filed against the Wall Street Journal saying that they defamed him when they reported the story about the Epstein birthday greeting that Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. And of course, the Trump team came out and said that it was all BS and that Donald Trump doesn't even draw pictures. Well, wouldn't you know it, Donald Trump and the administration is once again telling us lies. And the court itself is telling Donald Trump to get stuffed because a judge down in Florida has now thrown this lawsuit right out the window. And that's exactly where it belongs. The administration and Donald Trump, they never had any basis to bring that lawsuit in the first place. And the whole point was to try and control the narrative and get people to stop talking about something that was very damaging to Donald Trump. But even more than that, I think it proves that Donald Trump is telling a bunch of lies about just how deep that relationship ran when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. And I think that Donald Trump and and his administration is willing to do just about anything to keep that under wraps. And look, we're not just shooting from the hip here how much more evidence is needed and how many more people have to tell you and confirm for you that Donald Trump isn't exactly what I would call a reliable narrator when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Today we have an article from NBC News and the headline, Judge tosses Trump's 10 billion dollar suit against the Wall Street Journal over Epstein Birthday Book Report. This article was authored by Ryan J. Reilly, Austin Mullen, and Dara Gregorian. A federal judge in Florida on Monday dismissed President Donald Trump's 10 billion dollar defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over a story on a body 50th birthday card he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, allegedly, huh? I'm gonna go with he sent it. What? Somebody just made it up? The estate forged it. And you know, they didn't do that because if that was the case and it wasn't real and somebody did forge it, don't you think that Donald Trump would have made a point to have the DOJ open an investigation into who did that? That would be the logical step, right? Or on the flip side, you know that that shit's real and you're just trying to stop the conversation from moving forward by filing this gigantic suit. And he was just trying to buy time because he knew it would get thrown out. And the whole point was to try and get people exhausted, to get people to move on and to get people to worry about other things so that these bombshells that come in when it comes to Epstein are back burnered. That's the whole goal. That's been the goal, and that remains the goal. And every time they tell you to move on, I want you to remember that U. S. District Judge Darren Gales tossed the case after finding Trump's suit comes nowhere close to reaching the standard of actual malice. A showing the false statement was made with the knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard or whether it was false or not. Like, even if you stretch the judicial requirements for a civil suit, it wouldn't meet the parameters. You had a media company talking about a story that they got from a source. And not only that, but we know that the book was turned over to Congress. So the book exists. This statement exists. The only thing that's in question, at least as far as the facts go, is if Trump was the one who sent the card. And I would say that all the circumstantial evidence would point to that being the truth. And I think one of the biggest tells is the fact that Donald Trump hasn't had some gigantic investigation looking into who forged it. Because I have a hard time believing that somebody like Donald Trump would just let that slide. If somebody actually forged that and it wasn't him, do you really think he wouldn't use the power of the United States government to go after the person that did? We're talking about Donald Trump here. Quite the opposite. The article explains that before running the story, defendants contacted President Trump, Justice Department officials and the FBI for comment. Gales wrote President Trump responded with his denial. The Justice Department did not respond at all, and the FBI declined to comment. In short, the complaint and the article confirmed that defendants attempted to to investigate. The article also states that the WSJ reviewed the letter. So the judge is doing everything in his power to tell you that it's real. That's basically what he's saying now. That's not the goal of his hearing. The hearing was to figure out if there was enough of a basis for the lawsuit to move forward. And according to the judge, the answer was no. And that's because, well, there's nothing there, at least nothing that, you know, lives up to a defamation suit. Accordingly, President Trump's conclusory allegation that defendants had contradictory evidence and failed to investigate is rebutted by the article and is insufficient to establish actual malice. It's very difficult to get a defamation suit over the finish line, especially when you're talking about somebody that's in the news, like Donald Trump, somebody that creates the news, like Donald Trump and a situation like the one we're dealing with here. And for me, there was just never enough basis for it to even progress to a point where there'd even be discovery. This was always gonna be the way that this ended up. Trump filed the lawsuit last July, shortly after the Journal published a story saying a birthday book that had been assembled for Epstein's birthday in 2003 appeared to include a bizarre card from Trump who had been friends with Epstein around the time. And that launched him into orbit. Right? Oh, it's not that, you know, he was friends with Epstein, it's the fact that, you know now and not only do you know, you know, how close they were. Well, close enough that he wrote him this weird ass card. The card featured a hand drawn outline of a naked woman with. With what appears to be Trump's first name signed in the pubic area, as well as the typewritten note depicting an imaginary conversation with Epstein, who would later be charged with sex trafficking. Trump denied having anything to do with the card, and his attorney accused the paper in his suit of having made it up. Like that is just so crazy that a lawyer would even attempt to try and run that narrative, especially if you're bringing a lawsuit, because you know that the paper, if the story's real, which I always thought it was, they're gonna have that birthday card, or at least a copy of it.

You think they just ran it just to run it? The Wall Street Journal. Not exactly a paper that's known for going after Trump. So there was never any basis that for Donald Trump to even try and pitch this narrative besides trying to kill some time. That's it. Obfuscate. Get it off the front page of news. And let's move on to the next thing. A copy of the card matching the Journal's description was later released by Epstein's estate. Trump and the White House maintain that the card is fake. Well, that's a lie. I'm sorry, but it's a lie. And Donald Trump should be put under oath and ask that question. Hey, look, if it was good for Bill Clinton, it's good enough for Donald Trump. Sorry. Those are the rules, right? That's the precedent that's been set. Don't blame me because the Republicans squandered their chance to hammer the Clintons. Not my fault. Maybe they should have sent somebody instead of the B team. You're going to rely on Anna, Paulina, Luna and the rest of the tryhard caucus that showed up. Well, when you get the results that you got, don't blame anybody but yourself. But now that that's happened, it's time that Trump gets put under oath and gets talked to about Jeffrey Epstein as well. The judge's ruling did not get into whether Trump wrote the card or not, because Trump came nowhere close to the standard of actual malice. The judge declined to make factual determinations about whether the story was true, writing that whether the President was the author of the letter or Epstein's friend or questions of fact, that cannot be determined at this stage of the litigation. And that's true. You would need an investigation, handwriting expert, the whole thing. Trump's team knew that. They knew exactly what was going to happen. That's the whole reason that they brought the case. No judge in the land was going to let this continue to progress, and they knew it. So they took their shot and it didn't pan out because you know it's not going to move to a different level. But even then, that was never the goal because they didn't want discovery. I can promise you that. Gale's a Barack Obama appointee dismissed the case without prejudice, meaning Trump can take another shot at pleading his case. The judge cited legal precedent as the reason for giving Trump another opportunity and gave him two weeks to file and amended complaint. A spokesman for Trump's legal team said President Trump will follow the judge's ruling and guidance to refile this powerhouse lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and all of the other defendants. The president will continue to hold accountable those who traffic in fake news to mislead the American people. Bro, take a look in the mirror. Probably a great place for you to start. And I hope you do refile. And I hope it gets to discovery because you're gonna get hammered. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. Does anyone out there really think that this isn't real and that Trump didn't really send it? A spokesperson for the Journal's publisher, Dow Jones and company said of the ruling, we're pleased with the judge's decision to dismiss the complaint. We stand behind the reliability, rigor and, and accuracy of the Wall Street Journal's reporting. And I think that they're right to do so, especially here, because I believe that the facts line up on their side. Trump socialized with Epstein for over a decade before the two had a falling out in the early 2000s. Trump has said it was because he believed Epstein was a creep and had taken employees, including young women, from his Mar a Lago club. Well, that certainly was one of the stories. Additionally, in questioning before the House Oversight Committee earlier this year, former President Bill Clinton said that he had a discussion with Trump about Epstein twenty something years ago. And the then real estate mogul told the then former president of Epstein, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out because of a real estate deal. Just one of many narratives. Which one is true? Step right up and spin the wheel of Donald Trump's. Epstein, a politically connected financier pedophile, pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008 and died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The FBI and the Justice Department has said he preyed on over 1000 women and girls. Trump has not been charged with any wrongdoing connected to Epstein and has denied any wrongdoing. Well, that might be the case when it comes to Epstein and the abuse and Epstein's criminal empire, but when it comes to the COVID up, Donald Trump's the guy, right? Donald Trump's the one making these decisions. He's the one that's telling the Justice Department what to do and what not to do. And he's the one that's telling everybody to move on. And look, even if you don't believe that Donald Trump was involved with Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal empire, how can you believe that he's not covering up what's going on now as far as with the institutions and this shitty investigation that never was real and all the people that it protected? How do you answer for that? And if you notice that's a conversation they never want to have. And that's because they understand that it's the COVID up that's the most dangerous element of all of this for Donald Trump. Because remember, it's never the crime, it's always the COVID up.
