In early September, House Speaker Mike Johnson gave an. impromptu interview that attracted little attention at that time. It came a day after President Trump called the noise surrounding Jeffrey Epstein “a Democrat hoax that never ends” and compared it to the Russia collision hoax.
Predictably, the media twisted the comment out of context. When a reporter tried to corner Johnson, the speaker set the record straight. “He kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago,” Johnson told him, adding, “He was an FBI informant that tried to take this stuff down.” Credit to MJTruthUltra for unearthing this clip and interpreting it.
Johnson’s comment become even more relevant in light of some recently released emails, particularly a cryptic 2011 email Epstein sent to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. “I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked is trump (sic),” he wrote without further explanation.
I should note that Epstein sent this email a year after Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s intimate wedding in upstate New York. Said the Clintons, “Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends.” Had it not been for the ankle bracelet—always awkward—Epstein would likely have been among the “close friends” who attended.
Epstein’s dog reference, whether he knew it or not, was to an Arthur Conan Doyle story, “The Adventure of Silver Blaze.” In the story, the master sleuth Sherlock Holmes deduces that the failure of a watchdog to bark while a horse was being stolen meant only one thing: the dog recognized the man who stole the horse.
According to sleazeball author Michael Wolff, Epstein believed Trump was the one who quietly ratted him out to the authorities and stayed mum thereafter, a likely explanation for the dog “that hasn’t barked.” Author of the 2018 anti-Trump bestseller, Fire and Fury, Wolff has been chastised even by the New York Times for the “extraordinary coziness between journalist and source,” the source being Epstein.
The name redacted in the dog-barking email was Virginia Giuffre, a one time Mar-a-Lago. employee. The Democrats have redacted her name knowing that Giuffre cleared Trump of any wrongdoing both in a deposition and in her posthumous memoir. Opines the savvy MjTruthUltra, “Epstein wrote he was ‘75% there’ — meaning 75% sure it was Trump as the silent informant, with Giuffre as the likely conduit for the tip-off knowledge.”
A more credible source than Epstein is Bradley Edwards, an attorney who has represented many of Epstein’s victims. In a spontaneous 2018 interview with Derrick Broze of The Conscious Resistance Network, Edwards spoke of his efforts in 2009 to serve subpoenas on the prominent people in Epstein’s orbit.
“The only thing that I can say about President Trump,” said Edwards, “is that he is the only person…who picked up the phone and said let’s just talk I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know and was very helpful in the information that he gave.” According to Edwards, Trump gave “no indication” he was /in any way involved with Epstein’s predations. “He had good information,” added Edwards, “that checked out and that helped us.”
The “hoax” that triggered Trump was not what Epstein had done, Johnson clarified, but what the media were doing. Of course, Trump knew Epstein. They lived in the same town and their social circles intersected. Epstein attended Trump’s very public wedding to Marla Maples in 1993 but not to his 2005 wedding to Melania. That was the year Trump likely blew the whistle.
In reviewing the Epstein coverage, even I am stunned by how relentlessly the media attempt to link Trump and Epstein knowing that most of their audience will never read the article. Ignorance is the fuel that keeps the Democrat-media balloon afloat. As I note in my book, Empire of Lies, this has been true for at least thirty years.

Isn't this the kind of reporting that journalists are supposed to be doing? Keep the pressure on, Jack.
President Trump an FBI informant?! I never would’ve guessed that in a million years! Yet he is the best candidate for who this individual could’ve been. Mike Johnson let slip something he probably wasn’t supposed to. But it makes sense Trump would be that guy. I think he realized early on what a psychopath Jeffery Epstein was and he cut him off. There is no link between the POTUS and Epstein’s crimes. Virginia Giuffre and the other victims all said so. Epstein also knew Bill and Hillary Clinton much longer than Trump did. Perhaps it’s them you should be looking at.
Trump has always been a straight-laced guy. Sammy “the Bull” Gravano said the mob was never able to get anywhere near Trump. He wouldn’t take bribes or kick backs from them. He wouldn’t do favors for them. He wouldn’t be intimidated by them. Trump was an honest man through and through. Also, no Trump is not a racist, sexist, antisemite, homophobe, or any of the other things he’s been accused of. Trump lifted the ban on blacks and Jews from becoming members when he re-opened it as a private club. He opened up his offices at Trump Tower to Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. He won the Ellis Island Award in 1986 alongside Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali for helping inner-city youth.
He hired many women to work for him and there are numerous women in his inner circle and cabinet. President Trump has stood by Israel. He recognized Jerusalem as the undivided and eternal capital of the Jewish state. He declared the settlements in the West Bank and the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights legal under international law. He negotiated the Abraham Accords. His daughter Ivanka married a Jew, Jared Kushner and converted to Judaism herself. Mr. Trump said he had no problem with this. Two of his lawyers David Bernstein and Jason Greenblatt, were Jews. Homophobic? Not a chance! Trump spoke out about Matthew Shepard’s murder, he supports sexual orientation being a protected category in the Civil Rights Act, he had gay people in prominent positions in his businesses, attended a same-sex wedding, and evolved to support same-sex marriage in recent years.
Mar-A-Lago by the way performs same-sex weddings. Donald Trump also is NOT ableist in any way, shape or form. He signed the Autism CARES Act and treated a little boy in a wheelchair very kindly during a press conference. Furthermore, none of the allegations made by his lying, fame hungry nephew Fred Trump III are true. He’s like his sister Mary, a grifter. Furthermore, Donald Trump is a very kind, generous and benevolent person. It is not surprising when he figured out what Epstein was, he wanted nothing to do with them and allied with the law to bring him down. President Trump is the only one who was willing to let the victims speak. Barack Obama and Joe Biden never paid any attention to them or showed them any public support. Bill Clinton has been completely silent on the Epstein Scandal. Trump is the only one to stand up for those poor people.
