Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein socialized with the rich and powerful, harboring a sordid hidden life that came to light in 2008, landing him in prison for the solicitation of underage girls for sex. Epstein was infamous for his private Boeing 727 airliner nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” which ferried guests including Bill Clinton and a bevy of young girls allegedly pressed into prostitution at his Caribbean estate dubbed “Orgy Island.”
His laughable 13-month sentence after being accused by more than 40 minor girls of sexual abuse is a testament to his connections in high places. Those guests included the aforementioned former President Bill Clinton, who reportedly ditched his Secret Service detail to travel to the island. On July 8, Clinton issued a statement claiming that he “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York.” The former president stated that he took “a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane.” Flight logs, however, reveal that he had been on the plane as many as 26 times.
It turns out that yet another president was a fan of Epstein. In 2002, Donald Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy,” saying that “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.” The list of prominent names alleged to have partaken of the pleasures of the flesh aboard the Lolita Express en route to Orgy Island include former national security adviser Sandy Berger, Naomi Campbell, former Harvard president Larry Summers, actor Kevin Spacey and comedian Chris Tucker.
Justice may yet be served. This week Epstein was served with a federal indictment charged with the sexual trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minor. The indictment alleges that he “sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls,” some as young as 14, describing the victims as "particularly vulnerable to exploitation." Miami Herald journalist Julie K. Brown, who helped break the story, believes that Epstein may have also been providing young girls to others as “sex slaves.”
These are serious charges, which according to renowned legal scholar and attorney Jonathan Turley, could "produce a sentence of 45 years in prison if Epstein were convicted."
It’s important to keep in mind that people are not convicted in the “court of public opinion,” neither does our legal system allow for “guilt by association.” Yet if true, the charges raise questions about how much Epstein’s associates knew about his sexual exploitation of young girls – and whether they chose to turn a blind eye.
Courtney Wild states that she was 14 when Epstein's abuse began, and stated after his arrest: "I have fought so long to finally see Epstein brought to justice. I didn’t believe the news that he was arrested until I saw him in custody with my own eyes. I want my voice to encourage others to come forward," she said. "We are stronger together."
Not a few lamented that Epstein’s initial sweetheart plea deal back in 2008 was evidence of the “elite” escaping having to pay for their crimes. This week’s arrest and indictment give hope that the wheels of justice, while sometimes turning painfully slow, do continue to spin to their inexorable conclusion. Doubtlessly more famous names will surface in the days and weeks to come. Let the chips fall where they may and let us hope and pray that this scourge of the sexual abuse of minors will be uprooted from our society.
Shyster Lawyer on TV Voice:
“All you elite pedophiles who want to beat the coming rap, call my office today! 1-800-PEDO-OFF Ten million down and you pay nothing if we lose and you end up going to prison for the rest of your life. What do you have to lose?”
I hope they’re up nights Can’t sleep. I assume Not from what they know they did but because they may get caught. Either way I revel in their misery
I’m only hoping and praying that this time they will face justice for the horrendous crimes they have committed.
ROFLMAO
Good!
I wonder if they are thinking about taking a header off of a tall building or something?
Who do you believe?
Hunting them down in the street would be way too kind. Evil exists.

Excellent solution.
No wasted money on trials no housing them, of course the lawyers will be weeweed off as they will lose a lot of income trying to get theses sleazeballs off.
Then again in this case, hard to tell the lawyers from the slime and vice-versa.
Interesting turn of phrase...
Clinton is planning to launch a political group to raise money for progressive-minded groups and organizations, a Democratic source confirms to PEOPLE. The group will be called Onward Together—a nod to her presidential campaign’s slogan, Stronger Together— and will work with those trying to push back on President Donald Trump‘s agenda.
“I hope they’re up nights Can’t sleep.”
I think it’s doubtful people engaged in this kind of crime suffer remorse or guilt pains. I have some experience with a few criminals and they blame everybody and everything except themselves. They won’t accept that anything can happen to them because whatever they did is fully justified in their minds. When something does happen to them they are resentful and angry because whatever punishment they get is “unjust.” People who do this sort of thing are not what you or I would call “normal.” The universe orbits them and not the other way around.
The Clintons and Bushes were tight as ticks in 2008. Indeed, BJ was GWB’s “brother from another mother,” according to GWB. Even though Acosta didn’t say it at the presser, it’s easy to use a novelist’s vision to come up with what really happened. Acosta was an ambitious stooge who was told to do what he didn’t want to do and made the best deal possible. Hence, the NPA.
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Trump’s blanket comment about people has always been, “a terrific guy/gal.” He used it so as not to offend. Too bad it’s now being twisted to frame him.
Never mind Trump gave evidence against the perv and banned him from Trump properties. Never mind this is happening during his administration.
A century ago our society would have executed swift judgment on such sick perverts. Unfortunately, I fear that America has lost much of its moral compass, e.g. allowing these criminals to tie up the legal system on technicalities.
We’re not hearing from Hellary with a Stand by Your Man v.2.
Let God sort them out. :-)
Sadly, some of the #MeTooITookPartOnOrgyIsland people are now forced to wonder if they are better off or worse off if Epstein suddenly suicides in jail by a shiv stab to the heart from the back.
I mean, it could be, “good, he’s silenced, they can’t get the goods on me...”
But it could also mean “really bad, they found him of no use any more but the powers now control all those vids of me with the 8th grader, not Epstein who can be bought off...”
The thing about Clinton is he’s home free, probably.
A. He was seen literally drooling in public 3 years ago. He could EASILY come up with a dx of Alzheimer’s and “doesn’t remember a thing.”
B. Hillary can pull out HER useful black book and suddenly Bill chokes to death on a vegan cutlet, his barbell lands on his carotid, or there is a robbery gone bad in chappequa on a night jog.
Right now all the billionaire lefties are bribing the girls who were there on orgy island to say that Trump was there and they of course weren’t
Arrests of the other pedos needed to happen ASAP, but it isn’t
Deals are being made in the back ground, count on it
Oh you’re right about them not caring about what they did. They’ll most likely stay up nights because they’re afraid of getting caught.
