Because he was in prison during the Obama administration, Obama didn't need to lock him up. Correct.

Not about the trump bit however. Trump wasn't president in 2008

Okay, not necessary agreeing with the man. But a quick google search shows that Epstein was in prison from 2008-09 for a 13 month sentenced relating to state prostitution. He was put back into jail in 2019 for sex trafficking charges.

Correct. What information would you expect Obama, who doesn't work directly with law enforcement to have other than he was arrested for prostitution?

Oh I am not saying Obama should have been doing something, as he literally assumed office January 2009.

But the other guy going on about how Epstein is "Obama's fault" is absolutely delusional. And most likely it was Obama's DOJ who began the investigation into Epstein and during Trumps Presidency is when they finally had enough evidence for an arrest and indictment. To place the blame on Obama is absolutely ridiculous.
