more great reporting from the Miami Herald: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article232595847.html The only thing I can see as logical is US intelligence was using Epstein's blackmail tapes on somebody. I can't see all these Feds just being bought off with money. Though "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence." Maybe the defense team, that collectively was probably running $10,000 and hour, just out lawyered them, brow beat them, Titan's of Law versus public servants.
Great so Trumpers elected a pedophile. https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/th...ul-men-to-avoid-scrutiny-20160703-gpxp28.html Must be so proud. DD
Oh man. This was trump's pick as Secretary of Labor? It couldn't be more telling and shows explicitly just how low trump will go. Just sick.
at the court hearing today, the judge has learned that the passport is fake; it shows Epstein's address as somewhere in Saudi Arabia speculation is that Epstein used that fake passport to help locate Jamal Khashogg'/ as $$$ /assets confisticated by the Saudi govt
Because he is one.....and all the people that voted for him and continue to defend him are ok with that. DD
Look I don't wanna hear **** about Clinton or Trump, let me know when they've castrated this sorry **** and thrown him in gen pop at a normal prison facility. This is one time where partisan bullshit shouldn't get in the way of justice, his money has already afforded him too much leeway.
Tape shows Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein discussing women at 1992 party https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...-epstein-discussing-women-1992-party-n1030686
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/jeffrey-epstein-case-grows-more-grotesque How Epstein obtained his fortune is a matter of feverish speculation. His claim to a billionaire-only client list now seems laughable to the bankers I spoke with. One Wall Street source with direct knowledge of Epstein’s business said one source of Epstein’s income was providing “tax advice and estate planning” to rich clients, like Apollo Global Management founder Leon Black, presumably because Epstein had experience with offshore funds after basing his office in the Virgin Islands. In 2015 Black made a $10 million donation to Epstein’s foundation. (Black declined to comment.) In the absence of much other information, the reigning theory on Wall Street currently is that Epstein’s activities with women and girls were central to the building of his fortune, and his relations with some of his investors essentially amounted to blackmail. Similarly, DC is on edge. “Epstein bragged about his contacts in Washington,” Boies said. Reporters are likely to dig into why the Justice Department decided not to prosecute Epstein and kept the deal secret from his victims. One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent. Another is that the George W. Bush White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to protect Prince Andrew on behalf of the British government, then the U.S.’s closest ally in the Iraq war. “The royal family did everything they could to try and discredit the Prince Andrew stuff,” Boies told me. “When we tried to follow up with anything, we were stonewalled. We wanted to interview him, they were unwilling to do anything.” (Prince Andrew could not be reached for comment). Of course, the two Epstein friends that people are most curious about are Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, both of whom have denied anything untoward. During the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton’s campaign consulted Bill’s post–White House Secret Service logs because they were worried Trump would bring up Bill’s close association with Epstein and wanted to get ahead of the story, a source told me. For those in Epstein’s orbit, the stakes of exposure are bound to get higher as more and more women come forward. Every day seems to bring new horrors about Epstein’s alleged depravity. At a press conference on Tuesday, Courtney Wild’s lawyer Brad Edwards said that after interviewing dozens of Epstein’s accusers, it appeared Epstein spent almost all of his time abusing underage girls. “It was his full-time job,” Edwards said. “We have not found anyone who has provided information about a legitimate business he was engaged [in].” This article has been updated to include a comment from Elon Musk, and to clarify Epstein's relationship to Leon Black.
