Coyote, I would add - while not making any excuses for Trump - that an investigation into Epstein's private plane flight logs did show numerous trips during which Bill Clinton accompanied him to 'Pedophile Island' while having no record of Trump going.
What does this mean? It means exactly what it says and nothing more: there is NO RECORD of Trump accompanying Epstein. Doesn't mean he did, doesn't mean he didn't.
Your point is spot on - Trump is as dirty, in many ways, as Trump. Powerful, well-connected multi-millionaire elitist all have their shady sides, shady connections, have been paid off, and have paid others off. It's how things are done in politics, and it's how things are done in International business. 'Greasing palms', kissing babies, doing favors, selling access.
While I agree they are all 'dirty' to some extent, one political commentator said it best when he said we have never seen the likes of Hillary Clinton or a DNC that openly rigged it's own election, and an administration willing to do whatever it takes - illegal or not - to get her elected.
The thing is, with this stuff - is it's all innuendo. There is zero actual evidence of any sort of underage activity by Clinton. For that matter, there is zero actual evidence of the same with Trump. There is an ongoing lawsuit against Trump alleging a rape of a 13 yr old - but anyone can Sue, and the merits of it are in question.
The implication is that all these "jaunts" were for sexual activities with underage girls. However, it would appear many were lavish entertainment purposees as well. Crooked? Wouldn't surprise me. Like you say - greasing palms.
I prefer evidence over innuendo and implication - but if you're going to go with the latter, then
Trump has flown on the Lolita Exress as well according to Epstein's sworn testimony and Trump has praised Epstein as "fun to be with". I don't know how you can make a case that the Clintons are dirtier than Trump.
As far as rigging - that's another one that has no actual factual evidence supporting it. In fact, no one has been able to explain how a national election can be rigged which would need to be done right down to the precinct level where the majority of the officials in charge of elections are Republican to start with. If anyone has a reasonable claim towards rigging - it would be the Clinton campaign with Comey's behavior, but even that is highly unlikely.
Just makes no sense. We are BOMBARDED with info - but that info is like a huge landfill dumped on us and it's up to us to sort trash from useful information. It's up to us to see if there is anything to it beyond rumor, induendo, gossip. But not many seem to want to do that, for one, and there simply isn't the time for another.
