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.

Epstein also has supported the Clinton Foundation financially, but that was not made public until two years ago when a whistle-blower released the names of the super-rich, including Epstein, who held Swiss accounts at the HSBC bank.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which obtained the data from the whistle-blower, documented $81 million being routed from HSBC Swiss accounts to The Clinton Foundation, including money from Epstein.

Above the law... and the DC white trash thinks it’s funny. May they rot in hell for what they’ve done to our country.
Something about the set of Jeffery’s jaw and the smug expression that gives me the creeps.
REFERENCE-— The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) is a project of the Center for Public Integrity, focused on issues such as “cross-border crime, corruption, and the accountability of power”.
In 2013, the consortium had 160 member journalists from 60 countries. The ICIJ brings together teams of international journalists for different investigations (over 80 for Offshore leaks). It organizes the bi-annual Daniel Pearl Awards for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting.
The ICIJ’s director since 2011 is Gerard Ryle; other staff members include Michael Hudson, while the Advisory Committee in 2013 includes Bill Kovach, Phillip Knightley, Gwen Lister, and Goenawan Mohamad.
The [Clinton] foundation’s latest Form 990 shows that as of December 31, 2014, Hillary and Bill and Chelsea and their hedge fund son-in-law sat on $439,505,295 in assets. That’s pretty good for a “non-profit.”
The foundation spent $248,221,698 in 2014:
$95,887,139 on salaries and benefits.
$20,786,529 on travel.
$17,249,876 on professional and consulting services.
$14,200,147 on conferences and events.
$14,196,240 on UNITAID commodities expense
$13,519,824 on meetings and training
Et cetera. Oh and $33,692,599 was spent on direct program expenditures. Sure, this is all legal, but as a charity, this is not on the up and up. The Clintons used this as a way to launder foreign donations (which would be illegal if they were campaign donations) to finance her campaign in absentia.
Compare this to the Trump Foundation, whose latest Form 990 covered the year 2012.
Income: $1,259,851 (all from Trump)
Disbursements: $1,712,089
Expenses: $5,305.
Assets: $1,717,293.
Short. Simple. No staff. No travel. No consulting services. No conferences. No meetings. No training. It’s just, here is the money, here are the charities I want to give to, and here is the audit (which cost $5,305).
Time for me to pay the optometrist a visit. I thought it said “Viagra Islands”, not Virgin Islands.
Knew that information but seeing the actual facts in front really hits home. Would you mind making a thread of this so it can be more easily shared.

Two observations ~ Alan Dershowitz? I thought he switched teams?
‘Scumbags of a feather flock together.’
GRRR!
The rule of law really is dead in America. When a serial child molester (Epstein) gets 13 months, and when serial offenders like the Clintons are completely untouchable, there is no other conclusion.
Does anybody believe Clinton will get the "Women's vote" when this comes out in living color? The guy was convicted and we have the documents showing he went there. All we need is a few people under oath and the Clinton dynasty is over and in the trash forever.
