Billionaire sex offender Epstein once claimed he co-founded Clinton Foundation

Attorneys for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein touted his close friendship with Bill Clinton and even claimed the billionaire helped start Clinton's controversial family foundation in a 2007 letter aimed at boosting his image during plea negotiations, FoxNews.com has learned.

The 23-page letter, written by high-powered lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt, was apparently part of an ultimately successful bid to negotiate a plea deal before Epstein could be tried for using underage girls in a sex ring based in Palm Beach, Fla., and his private island estate on the 72-acre Virgin Islands home dubbed “Orgy Island.” Epstein spent 13 months in prison and home detention after agreeing to a plea deal in which he admitted to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.

"Mr. Epstein was part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project 'bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” read the July 2007 letter to the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of Florida. “Focuses of this initiative include poverty, climate change, global health, and religious and ethnic conflicts.”

Wikipedia can be written and edited by absolutely anyone. For the most part, it doesn’t matter what their biases are or the extent or reliability of the evidence they use, so long as they cite sources (and yes, the extremely biased HuffPost is a source). (Maybe more Freepers need to get involved in Wikipedia?)

Epstein had been a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, but Trump eventually kicked him out of the club, even before his conviction. If Clinton really did go down to “Orgy Island” several times like the rumors say, then his situation with Epstein was much worse than Trump’s. The prosecutor in the Epstein case even mentioned that it was obvious that Trump was not involved in any of Epstein’s wrongdoing and that Trump was the only one highly cooperative in talking about Epstein.

The claim of rape by a supposed woman named “Katie Johnson” has been debunked and has not been taken seriously by any real news outlet for good reason (in fact that case is almost comical in the clumsy way that it was made up). I dare say this person will eventually be discovered to be connected to the Clinton campaign, as they try to defuse the scandal surrounding Bill and Epstein.
