Jeffrey Epstein

[Pete F.]

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Donald Trump

By the time Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier and felon, was arrested on Saturday and charged with sex trafficking, he had been repeatedly accused of pedophilia and sexual abuse for more than a decade.

But Mr. Epstein — whose acquaintances include two presidents and multiple celebrities — had until then avoided federal prosecution.

Now, Mr. Epstein is expected to appear in Federal District Court in Manhattan on Monday to face charges that include sex trafficking of minors, involving multiple underage girls, between 2002 and 2005, according to two law enforcement sourcesThe charges include a claim that he routinely brought underage girls to his home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where he paid them hundreds of dollars in cash for massages and sexual acts, one of the sources said.The case could shed new light not only on the allegations, which span years and countries, but also on the extent to which officials who have been linked to Mr. Epstein — including, most notably, President Trump and his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta — knew about or downplayed them or let him get away with The case could shed new light not only on the allegations, which span years and countries, but also on the extent to which officials who have been linked to Mr. Epstein — including, most notably, President Trump and his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta — knew about, downplayed or let them get away with

When he was charged and found guilty the first time, it included some very questionable non-prosecutable agreement. Clearly, this shows current prosecutors going above and beyond to avoid a double jeopardy situation... Interesting indeed, if you like following scumbags.

So seeing that these allegations and Epstein's Island go back a decade (long before Trump was a politician) and well into the previous decade where he was far more associated with Bill Clinton than Trump (looks at Pete's post for Clinton reference - nope).

Here is a link to Google, time frame 2009 - 2015, where this was covered a lot but fr some really strange reason, did not make the news it is going to make now.

Wonder if now is the time to sacrifice a Clinton to get a Trump.


The irony will be that some of their "hates" might never have happened had they not pretzeled themselves to protect their "faves". In the meantime a lot of kids truly suffered in order to protect their "faves". Disgusting.

It said two presidents, I had confidence that someone would say: Whatabout Bill.

Given Trump's history of using dirt to get at his opponents should make people wonder why he never brought this up when he was going after Hillary thru Bill's affairs.

Trump was interviewed by attorneys involved in the case, hung out with Epstein and Clinton, it was in the news, pretty unlikely he didn't hear of Lolita Island and it's customers.

I suppose Trump was just being a nice guy and didn't want to hurt the Clinton's marriage.

Hearsay is that Epstein wanted his "modeling" agency to be like Trumps, some people wonder what he meant by that?

Hopefully all the slime involved will be dealt with to the full extent of the law, but I don't hold a lot of hope for that. It's a pretty tangled web and goes from Acosta to Weinstein, likely not missing many letters of the alphabet.
