1. Escepticismo sobre la existencia de una prueba irrefutable.
Existe un amplio consenso, incluso entre los críticos de Trump, de que cualquier evidencia verdaderamente incriminatoria ("smoking gun") probablemente ya ha sido eliminada o alterada, dada la oportunidad que han tenido sus aliados para manejar los archivos.
- Personally, i doubt theres any smoking gun about trump in the epsteinfiles. Anything truly egregious was accidentally lost in the last nine months.
- I believe they are not going to find a pedo smoking gun held by trump in the epstein files.
- Sorry to disappoint you. They arent going to be finding any smoking gun. There will some sacrificial lambs, but have no doubt trump has been redacted from all files.
- I still assume that theres no obvious smoking gun about trump in the epstein files but their endless stonewalling argues against my assumption.
- I dont think the epstein files are the smoking gun people think they are but that doesnt mean that they shouldnt be used for justice.
2. La evidencia de los correos electrónicos y la participación de Trump.
A pesar del escepticismo general, la liberación de correos electrónicos específicos, particularmente aquellos entre Epstein y Ghislaine Maxwell o Michael Wolff, ha proporcionado detalles que muchos consideran lo más cercano a una prueba irrefutable, sugiriendo conocimiento y posible participación.
- The proverbial smoking gun in one of the messages, mr. Epstein flatly asserted that mr. Trump knew about the girls, many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage.
- This is pretty smoking gun. Epstein is saying trump isnt barking because he spent time with a victim.
- This is it. This is the smoking gun. Contemporaneous email from epstein to maxwell, indicating that trump spent hours alone with a sex trafficked teen victim.
- The epstein email release is not a smoking gun - it is a cannon.
- The smoking gun i believe is either a video of him raping a girl or evidence of him being man handled by another man. Either of which would end him.
3. Consecuencias políticas y la reacción de la base MAGA.
La reacción de Trump y sus aliados al intentar bloquear la liberación de los archivos ha sido interpretada como una señal de que contienen material dañino. Sin embargo, muchos temen que incluso si se encuentra una prueba irrefutable, la base de seguidores de Trump la ignorará o la negará.
- If they uncovered a smoking gun, the hardcore maga faithful would immediately say, what gun? what smoke? thats how deep the denial runs.
- Even with a smoking gun directly in trumps hand, nothing.
- The great thing about how nakedly terrified trump has been of the epstein files so far is that if theres not a smoking gun in it, well know its because they purged it, and his base knows that too.
- The smoking gun is just trumps own unhinged posts proving hes a wannabe dictator throwing a tantrum.
- The only gop no on epstein files, rep. Clay higgins r-laex-cop, has ties to cops accused of sex trafficking and incest 1st wife accused him of holding gun to her head 2nd wife saysowes 100k in child support 1.
4. La metáfora del "Gun" en el contexto del escándalo.
El término "smoking gun" se utiliza constantemente, pero el concepto de "arma" también aparece en discusiones sobre conspiraciones, violencia política, y la percepción de que los archivos son una herramienta de chantaje o distracción.
- We cant let the maga propensity for wild conspiracy theories be a dark cloud for actual theories. I think were gun shy in that department. Trump had epstein killed. 100.
- The epstein files are the smoking gun. They will tell us who has been blackmailed and how the us paid the price.
- The smoking gun is trumps manhandling ivanka. Its easy believe this grab em by the oussy man is a pedophile.
- Every time pressure mounts about epstein there is some kind of gun incident.
- Impeachment is a gun with no bullets.
