So you don’t want an investigation of Leon Black’s connections to Epstein and any money laundering and tax evasion that may have taken place?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Well, just a few posts down from yours....

"but we are ADAMANT that the rich and powerful people who were sexually abusing young girls in connection Wirth Jeffrey Epstein MUST be exposed and punished.

Obviously, there is tons of sex trafficking all over the world, involving lots of skeevy people. I think the reason this particular incident has captured so much attention is that people love seeing the rich and mighty brought low.

I agree 100% with the idea that anyone guilty should be punished criminally if that can be done. But for a variety of reasons, I think Bondi's statement that they don't have enough evidence to charge anyone else criminally is credible. So, if they're not going to be charged criminally because of a lack of evidence, then exactly why do people to expose the names of people for whom there isn't enough evidence to charge?

And before you think I'm gullible to assume there isn't enough evidence to charge anyone, I think people are overlooking the difficulties in getting the required testimony from the girls involved. A whole lot of issue in there that make it much less likely than you would think.

Again, DID YOU NOT READ WYDEN’S letters./

Please tell me you are not serious !

I take it you never lived in Oregon and don’t know what a complete scum bag Ron is and has been for decades

My gawd, he’s the Adam shifty of Oregon !!!

He is not running for anyore elections. Why should he care about the base any more?

If the base doesn’t come out strong in 2026, the Dems will start a thousand impeachment investigations. He needs the base. But he doesn’t care. So why should we?

[RummyChick]

Show me the statement that she is cooperating with the Senate Finance Committee on Epstein and Leon Black

[metmom]

I, too, thought FReepers were more rational than that.

Apparently not.

What’s wrong with wait and see?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Where is the investigation of where Epstein got his money?

Well, there have been books written that include his early life about how/why he was so successful in finance. In very short, he apparently was a math genius -- skipped two grades in high school and was taking advanced college math courses -- and was very charismatic. That's a recipe for a finance guy to get very, very rich.

Now, did he also do some illegal money laundering and other things? Entirely possible. But that isn't the girl thing.

[Sequoyah101]

When that question is not asked the tactic of confusing the issue has been successful. The second question is, why was Epstein in jail?

It appears to me that the administration is messing this one up in a huge way. It looks as if they have already lost the Speaker where this is concerned. Something bad is wrong.

[RummyChick]

Try 170 million given to Epstein for “advice” that was used to fund his pedophilia compound.this resulted in Leon Black resigning as CEO of Apollo and paying over $60 million to US Virgin islands.

Was this truly advice, or was it blackmail payout, or was it funneling funds to other parties or none of the above but something else? Bondi stonewalling on it.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I’d say stick to the facts. Mr. XYZ visited Epstein’s island. That’s a fact. Release it even though it puts Mr. XYZ in a tough position. That’s just how the chips fell.

Hasn't that stuff been pretty much released already via flight logs, etc..?

And I do get what you’re saying. But something really odd happened on the island. It should not be swept under the rug.

Well, the fact that Epstein abused girls on that Island is well known, and is part of the basis of his prosecution. The government of the Virgin Islands also apparently administers a fund for victims, etc..

I think this all boils down to people really wanting to know one thing -- who were the other men having sex with underage girls? And I think that's the one thing that is actually much harder to prove than most people realize.

[RummyChick]

I am serious. Wyden wasn’t behind the Dechert report that caused Leon Black to resign as CEO of Apollo because of Epstein. Wyden didn’t make Leon Black pay over $60 million dollars to US Virgin Islands.

I don’t care who is investigating it or their motive. This is something that needs investigation.

[tennmountainman]

Let’s do an investigation of the money trail and see what is found.
Are you against that?

[CaptainK]

Stop with the logic. Let's forget the bullet Trump took, the defeat of Kamala, the miraculously fast closing of the border, the tax cut, the money coming in from NATO and concentrate on a 20 year old case that started in the Bush administration where the two main culprits were imprisoned and one is dead.

If Epstein killed himself, good. If someone speeded the process, good.

At least a dozen more pressing issues that need to be addressed. I can understand Trump's frustration.

[P-Marlowe]

Nope, I think he’s referring to those who are turning on him.

He turned on us first. He promised to release the files. Bondi said she had the files on her desk. Bondi said there was evidence of crimes. But they are hiding the ball and attacking everyone who thinks for themselves on this issue.

This really looks bad. If Trump doesn’t want my support, then I guess he can live without it.

This really puts Dan Bongino in a bad spot. I want to hear this from his lips.

[OldHarbor]

Financial clearing house for bad people doing bad things is my take on Epstein.

He helped oligarchs and governments do their dirty deeds and deals.

Nothing new , look at the history of the CIA and Bank of Credit and Commerce International ,(BCCI)

Same story , financial hub for criminal activities, governments welcome.

[P-Marlowe]

I’m beginning to understand why former appointees of Trump ended up turning on him. He has a tendency to burn bridges.

[Leaning Right]

> I think this all boils down to people really wanting to know one thing — who were the other men having sex with underage girls? And I think that’s the one thing that is actually much harder to prove than most people realize. <

You’re right. But there’s one more piece of the puzzle. Was Epstein acting on his own, or was he acting on the behalf of an intelligence agency (CIA or Mossad)?

We’ll probably never know the answer to that. But we should. Because if Epstein really was an asset, there are lots people walking around who are bigly compromised.

What a mess.

[Sacajaweau]

The Press is manipulating this. He said at one of his meeting...We’re still talking about this jerk? IMOW

[Vermont Lt]

If they did exist, (I was thinking about the island and the ranch) they certainly don’t anymore. Lol

Now, because Trump has gone in this direction, we will never get any clarity.

I am fine with moving on. But I won’t trust much of what he says going forward. But, I never trusted the government much anyway.

[TTFlyer]

What I want doesn’t matter. If you have evidence of criminality present your case to a Grand Jury. Oh wait, you can’t. Guess you’ll have to wait for the DOJ to refer charges.
