Daniel Halper reacts after release of Ghislaine Maxwell documents: 'How entrapped is Bill Clinton in this investigation?'
Fox News ^ | 8/01/20 | Julia Musto

More questions have emerged surrounding the actions of former President Bill Clinton following the release of newly unsealed court documents in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, "A Convenient Death" author Daniel Halper said Saturday.

Halper, appearing on "Fox & Friends Weekend," said records of a 2011 meeting between Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and her lawyers - in which she talked about the powerful people in Epstein's orbit - were "the first of many accusations" putting Clinton "directly" at the convicted sex offender's private island in the Caribbean.

"And, of course, we know that he was very close to Jeffrey Epstein and - as we report in our book - he is very close to Ghislaine Maxwell. That puts him in proximity to two accused and one guilty, a pedophile essentially," he said.

"The question that arises is how entrapped is Bill Clinton in this investigation," Halper said. "The FBI, we assume, is interviewing other people involved in this case. ... But has law enforcement reached out to Bill Clinton and others – high profile names – and are they trying to get to the bottom of this scandal?"

Last year, Clinton's office issued a statement saying the former president had traveled aboard Epstein's private plane and briefly visited Epstein's New York City apartment, but was always in the company of staff and Secret Service agents. Clinton also claimed to have had no knowledge of Epstein having pleaded guilty to sex crimes years ago in Florida.

Nothing will ever happen to Bill or Hillary Clinton. Nothing. They are in the club, in fact they are club leadership. Nobody will ever touch them, if they have to destroy evidence (including people) to protect them then they will and the so-called good guys will help them and then pretend it never happened. that’s just how it is.

Dear Ms. Liz,

I can recognize your fact-filled posts from a mile away or at least before I get to the bottom line.

You are a FreeRepublic treasure.

Just so you know.

Sorry I’ve been happily married for 40 years but who knows what could happen? ;-)

Sincerely,

Good question, and were SS staff with Clinton on some or none all of his 26 flights on the Pedo Express? And where did those flights come and go from?

“Until pictures are circulated from Maxwell Clinton will escape scrutiny. No photos. No proof.”

That’s obviously because the media have no interest in holding a Democrat responsible for anything. If Hitler were a Democrat they would have let him skate.

SOURCE https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8362601/Bill-Clinton-confessed-Jeffrey-Epstein-slept-Monica-Lewinsky.html

A new book reveals that Bill Clinton told Jeffrey Epstein he only had sex with Monica Lewinsky because she was the ‘only girl in the White House’ during the 1995 government shutdown

The late pedophile said Clinton confessed during their 2002 trip to Africa where they flew on Epstein’s private jet with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker

Epstein had been ‘fascinated’ by the Lewinsky scandal for years because he thought she was ‘too unattractive to sleep with’, according to the book

The book, ‘A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein’ by journalists Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper is out June 2
It also claims that socialite Lynn Forester de Rothschild was the one who made the connection between Epstein and Clinton

The book puts renewed focus on Epstein’s friendship with Clinton, which has been a source of constant embarrassment for the former President

Goodman and Halper write that when Clinton left the White House in 2001 he was a ‘broken man’ having been impeached but barely survived.

Clinton had ‘squandered his credibility’ by having the affair with Lewinsky and he became ‘toxic’ even within his own party.

Restoring his reputation was Clinton’s priority so he set to work on the Clinton Foundation and his Clinton Global Initiative.

He was also broke and So somebody like Jeffrey Epstein could help him in many ways.

Epstein had already donated $2,000 to Clinton back in 1992 when he ran for the Presidency.

In time he would donate $147,000 to Democrats and $18,000 to Republicans, and the cash got him access.

‘Filthy Rich’ says that in 1993 Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association, contributing to the Clintons’ efforts to redecorate the residence with gold drapes and other lavish decor.

The book says: ‘In return, Epstein received a perfunctory thank-you letter from the association and an invitation to a donor reception with the Clintons.

‘He brought Ghislaine Maxwell as his date’.

There they were, a serial pedophile and his alleged madam, meeting the Clintons for the first time - and it took place in the White House.

A proper introduction between the two was arranged by Forester, a blond telecom executive who later married into the wealthy Rothschild family.

She was supposedly ‘smitten’ with Epstein and became an ‘evangelist for his financial services’, the book says.

During the dinner at Ted Kennedy’s house in 1995 she spoke to Clinton about Epstein, rather than social policy she intended to talk about.

In a revealing letter to Clinton in 1995 she wrote: ‘It was a pleasure to see you.

In a 2002 piece for New York magazine Clinton said that Epstein was a ‘highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist’ +9

‘Using my fifteen seconds of access to discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization, I neglected to talk to you about a topic near and dear to my heart. Namely, affirmative action and the future’.

Epstein also cultivated others in Clinton’s inner circle by attending a dinner in Palm Beach in 1995 at the home of Ron Perelman, the billionaire behind the cosmetics chain Revlon.

It was a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee and other guests were Jimmy Buffett and Clinton’s college friend Arnold Prosperi.

The cost to attend was a cool $100,000 but it helped to get Epstein on Clinton’s radar.

So began their friendship during which Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation in 2006 through his personal charity.

When Epstein’s black book of contacts was made public it contained more than 20 numbers, emails and addresses to get hold of Clinton, most of them listed under his former advisor Doug Band........(ED. a practice L/E says is indicative of money-laundering and tax evasion.-—snip—

IMHO whether Clinton was on Epstein's plane numerous times, or spent many days at Epstein's Island or residences around the world is great for gossip, but having sex with an underage person is a crime, and that is what should be pursued.- Tom

Clinton is guilty of much more serious crimes than this. This only interests me insofar as it breaks the spell so we can go after his real criminal history. And Hillary’s, of course.

Little George is waist deep in the Epstein mess. He was at Epstien’s NY condo many times lining up “dates” for Slcky Willy.

George Step was also in charge of “Bimbo Eruptions” in the White House.

Epstein had cameras installed in his orgy pad where most people wouldn’t think to install cameras. And then he had pros come in after the fact and told them to try and find them. If Der Slickster was dipping his wick in anything that wasn’t ready to be served yet, it’s no wonder that Epstein got offed and now Maxwell’s in twice the jeopardy. If she has the originals (or even copies) of the video tapes, there are going to be a lot of people wanting to see her Arkancided inside that jail. My wet dream is for Barr and DoJ to pull a pincer maneuver right before the election (preferably, just before or after Slow Joe annouces his Affirmative Action pick for veep) - arrest Willy J and some high profile names for statuatory rape (Left and Right, for all I care) on one side, and throw indictments at Obongo, probably Biden, Broomhillary, Comey, and the rest of the cast for Russiagate and the whole spying fiasco. The Left will start rioting and burning anew. There’s going to be a lot of literal and figurative scorched earth left behind, regardless of outcome.

The question that arises is how entrapped is Bill Clinton in this investigation

Ensnared would be a better word here. Entrapped is most often used as a legal term to suggest the government encouraged behavior that the subject would not otherwise have engaged in. Slick Willy is the last person in the world who would need encouragement to engage in illicit behavior.

Bill Clinton is CIA and has been since his Oxford days.

That isn’t surprising, the CIA never missed any opportunities like a Clinton loose in the UK.

It is not surprising that MI5 or MI6 used him then and still does today.

He probably had his dirty hands all over the surveillance of Trump, That the UK and their 5 Eyes Buds did with their fake Russia/Russia bs that Admiral Mike Rodgers told Candidate/President elect Trump in November 2016.

That cost the head of GCHQ chief Robert Hannigan his job. quits | UK news | The Guardianwww.theguardian.com › uk-news › jan › gchq-chief-ro...

Jan 23, 2017 - Hannigan oversaw a more open approach at GCHQ after the Snowden revelations exposed mass surveillance by the agency. his job when Admiral Mike let the world know about the surveillance of Trump and the bs directed by the fake Steel bs.

Laura Silsby founded the New Life Children’s Refuge and led the expedition in Haiti. Though she was freed after serving her sentence in Haiti, she also faced legal problems in Idaho.

In early March 2010, her attorney in these cases filed a motion to withdraw as her counsel. Another lawyer who represented Silsby in a child custody case also withdrew as her attorney.

Bill Clinton urges solution to Haiti ‘kidnap’ case

* 10 detained missionaries questioned by Haitian judge

* Their lawyer seeks provisional release pending a hearing

* Case has distracted attention from quake relief efforts

By Joseph Guyler Delva

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton urged the U.S. and Haitian governments on Friday to resolve the case of 10 American missionaries accused of trying to take children illegally out of quake-hit Haiti.

Clinton, named by the United Nations to coordinate relief efforts for survivors of the devastating Jan. 12 quake, made the appeal during a visit to the shattered Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, his second since last month’s disaster.

The accused U.S. missionaries, most of whom belong to an Idaho-based Baptist church, were arrested a week ago and charged on Thursday with child kidnapping and criminal association.

Haitian authorities say the group tried to take a busload of 33 Haitian children across the border into the Dominican Republic without any papers proving the minors were orphans or any official permission to take them out of the country.

The missionaries deny any intentional wrongdoing and say they were only trying to help children left destitute by the Jan. 12 earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people, injured some 300,000 and left over a million more homeless.

The Americans’ case is diplomatically sensitive and aid groups complain it has distracted media and world attention away from the struggle to feed and shelter hundreds of thousands of Haitians camped out in wrecked streets.

“What’s important now is for the government of Haiti and the government of the United States to get together and work through this,” Clinton told CNN in Port-au-Prince.

He said he understood the Haitian government’s efforts to try to protect its children from possible child traffickers and unlawful adoptions following the catastrophic quake.

But he also said the missionaries could be telling the truth when they argued they simply wanted to help the children and did not mean to violate any laws. Evidence has emerged that many of the intercepted children were not orphans but were given up by parents who wanted them to have a better life.

“The government of Haiti ... (is) not looking for some big fight here. They just want to protect their children and they also want to make sure they have a good inventory so they don’t send children away that maybe have an aunt or an uncle that have an income,” Clinton said.

“I think they’ll find a way to defuse the crisis and work through this,” he added, but he said the case was not his direct responsibility.

The missionaries, five men and five women, were questioned individually on Friday by investigating judge Bernard Sainvil at the offices of the prosecutor in the city.

Officials said the judge would continue his investigation next Monday and Tuesday, before making a decision on whether to release the 10 or proceed with the case against them.

WASHINGTON MONITORING, NOT INTERFERING

The missionaries’ lawyer, Edwin Coq, said he had requested the 10 be released provisionally pending the further hearings, but no decision was immediately taken on that.

Coq said the Americans, who had been held at police headquarters up to now, were taken after the questioning on Friday to established prisons — the women to a women’s prison in the Petionville suburb and the men to the quake-damaged central prison in the capital.

The U.S. government, which is spearheading the big relief operation in Haiti, has said it is providing the Americans with consular access and monitoring their case, but it has made clear it does not want to interfere.

“Obviously this is a matter for the Haitian judicial system,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is Bill Clinton’s wife, told reporters in Washington.

Haitian President Rene Preval’s crippled administration, which has been accused by many of its citizens of failing to do enough to help quake survivors, has defended its decision to detain and charge the Americans.

“It is true the country has been brought to its knees by the earthquake, but we still have laws. ... In any case, whoever violates the law has to be sanctioned, whether the violator is a U.S. or European citizen, or someone else,” Justice Minister Paul Denis told Reuters.

The detained Americans were still hoping on Friday they would eventually be released. “We pray to God for the outcome,” said the group’s leader, Laura Silsby.

Another member of the group, which called itself the New Life Children’s Refuge and planned to build an orphanage in the Dominican Republic for the Haitian children, said it was “unfortunate” that world attention was focusing on their case and not the plight of Haiti’s earthquake victims.

“I think the most important thing is to continue to put the focus on the people, the kids who are suffering, because they need help. That’s the reason why we were here in the first place, to help,” Silas Daniel Thompson, 19, told Reuters while he was being taken to see the investigating judge.

Haiti’s government has tightened adoption procedures since the quake, saying it feared unscrupulous traffickers could try to take advantage of the disaster by spiriting away vulnerable children. Officials said they already had reports of trafficking of minors, and even of human organs.
