I missed that Jeffrey Epstein, in one of his emails, mentioned this Sherlock Holmes story: Back in 1892, a famous racehorse was stolen in the middle of the night and the horse’s trainer was found dead. To Dr. Watson’s surprise, Holmes pointed out a curious fact: The night the man was killed the dog that lived in the stable hadn’t barked. So the killer wasn’t a stranger. The dog knew him.

Here’s exactly what Epstein wrote Ghislaine Maxwell: I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. He told her Trump had spent hours at his house talking to Virginia Giuffre, one of the teenage girls Epstein sex trafficked.

Epstein didn’t accuse Trump of a crime. But figured Trump knew what was going on in his house – because Giuffre told him. That laid a different sin on Trump’s doorstep.

I asked a friend, a sheriff, what he’d do if a man sat down in his office and said he’d talked to a girl who told him about a man who was abusing, sex trafficking, teenage girls.

The sheriff leaned back: We’d investigate his butt and if that was true put him in jail.

Epstein figured Trump knew because Giuffre told him – but like the dog in the night didn’t bark.
