And this is what Trump was saying.
If he releases the names of those that engaged in the sick stuff - and doesn’t release the names of everyone else bc all they did was give him money to invest and just thought they were going to lavish parties - then Trump is just politically assassinating people, abuse of power, he’s protecting his friends, etc.
This explanation makes the most sense
So is there a way to know who the “innocent” ones are, redact them, and release the bad ones. If there is a way to do that, let us know.
“I think there are people within the establishment—I don't know if they partook in the his sick things he was doing—but they have some association with him and they gave him money to invest when there was no reason to hire someone like that.”
“He got a half a billion dollars somehow, from people who were mainstream establishmentarians on the basis that he was going to blackmail them.”
“I think those names are numerous and I think the Trump administration thought, well we're going to release this and there's some crazy people that we don't care about, are going to be embarrassed....and then all the sudden, they got a lot of calls.”
“Said, why are you doing this? I didn't do this, I went down to the island once, I was on a plane, I didn't touch anybody.”
“There's a lot of people who were very powerful who were giving him money or were trafficking with him, not necessarily all them engaging in what he was doing, but just the association with him.”
“And I think they're putting pressure on people. I really do.”
