In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton Casts Blame on Hillary's Presidential Defeat, Explains His Jeffrey Epstein Ties [View all]soandso
(1,631 posts)because Maxwell's presence at the wedding is widely known about. Maxwell's father was also rumored to be working for the Mossad and MI6. Obviously, Epstein had some powerful people behind him given how long he was operating and the enormous amount of unaccounted for money behind him. Why was he sold one of the most valuable properties in NYC for one dollar? I don't know but it wasn't just because of the young women around him. I don't know if he was blackmailing people, and for whom, or what but something bigger than what has been revealed was going on.

Epsteins name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami whod infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary. The plea deal put a hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and trafficking.
Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]? Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day hed had just one meeting on the Epstein case. Hed cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epsteins attorneys because he had been told to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone, he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)

I never said Clinton lied. I said I thought he might be holding some things back. Big difference. It's YOU implying otherwise. Don't try to put words in mouth by saying it "seems" I said this or that when what I wrote is right here. I have no idea about the nature of their relationship. I only know they had one. Jeffrey Epstein cultivated important and influential people. Not just Clinton but leaders in science, technology, finance, including Nobel Prize recipients and, of course, a member of the British royal family. The sex appeared to be a perk for those he cultivated but it was quite obviously not the main reason he was doing what he was doing.
