If someone said "we were blowing lines all night", we'd know exactly what it means. So I'm thinking Epstein is being coy using a random word like Bubba. Aside from the sex definition everyone knows, to someone in the know about drugs, "blowing" {something} means snorting it. Like it's well-known in that subculture. Add to this information, someone who was around Trump a lot in the past asserted that Trump snorts Adderall like a fiend, at least in days past. I think this is the logical interpretation

Are we meant to believe *rump was blowing Bill Clinton??

Funny that little tidbit was specifically mentioned and asked for comment out of "more than 20,000 pages of documents."

Set aside "blowing Bubba" for a minute.

On March 19, 2018 Mark Epstein wrote to his brother Jeffrey an email with two questions. One was about Jeffrey's health. The other question was "What is your boy Donald up to now?"

What WAS President Trump up to in March 2018? And why was it so important to Mark Epstein that he urgently wrote his brother about it? (Email set to high importance.)

Ominously, Jeffrey Epstein writes back "All good. Bannon with me."

So whatever Donald was up to on March 19, 2018 Bannon was involved and Jeffrey Epstein was in the middle of it.

And so was Putin. Because the response from Mark a few days later indicates that he thought Jeffrey was in contact with Putin.

All of this is worthy of some investigative reporting if that still existed somewhere.

1) a loved one; a nickname one partner gives to another.

2) Babytalk for Brother, a nickname like Sis or Bro.

3) A large Black man, perhaps in particular, a large Black man who wants to rape you in prison.

Five pages of definitions, only two defined it as "Bill Clinton."

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-blowing-bubba-message-epstein-emails-under-scrutiny-11046836

An email in the Jeffrey Epstein files that references U.S. President Donald Trump "blowing Bubba" has attracted scrutiny on social media.

On Wednesday, U.S. lawmakers released more than 20,000 pages of documents connected to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges.

Some of the documents mentioned Trump, including one from Epstein's brother, Mark, which references photos of Trump "blowing Bubba." "Bubba" is a nickname of former president Bill Clinton, but Mark Epstein told Newsweek the individual was not Clinton. He did not provide any additional details about the identity of “Bubba” or the meaning of the emails.

Newsweek reached out to the White House by email to comment on this story outside of normal business hours.
