I can see why trump didn't want this released. If he was page 156, then surely he read the rest of it.

Page 57,

We picked up girls on the beach-went out on boat. I tell them with knife in my hand to take suits off. But Warren tells don't worry his name is J.N. He's just joking he live at so & so, I tell Mark to throw him in water. He did.

It gets worse. Who tf is Warren.

Edit: Page 112-13 is vomit worthy. It's an 8 ish y.o. posing and a toddler.

Literally on a boat using 'the implication'

If you look at the Brooklyn section, it's more likely his childhood friend, Warren Eisenstein.

While this is obviously a grim subject, its funny to me that the silly Hollywood trope of the villain leaving foolish clues to his crimes and there being suggestive journal entries in plain sight is actually a real thing.

If I was committing unforgivable crimes I would think I would be smart enough that I wouldn't be sending birthday cards with "nudge nudge, wink wink" air quotes in them.

Your mistake is assuming these bastards are smart people.

Like so many criminals, they only think they are smart. Much smarter than those who might try to stop them. The reality is often far different.

Have you seen the police? They are smarter than those who might try to stop them.

Have you seen the police? I've met cops who failed 11th grade three times in a row and joined the force because they flunked the ASVAB.

A detective, I think, is who you're referring to.

They knew they would never face consequences for this. And trump still hasn't yet, really.

Why is it censored?

If this is really about sex trafficking, then every human on the picture is corrupt.

Can someone with experience in this market till me if trump made a good deal here? I'm just trying to establish his business credentials and need to know if he got ripped off?
