All those many many months focused on one primary task at Politico. Get Trump via the Epstein files. It is hard to underestimate the insane lengths Politico employed to somehow implicate President Donald Trump with the foibles of Jeffrey Epstein via the Epstein files. Politico acted if they just kept focusing on those files, damaging material just had to be found about Trump. The pathetic spectacle of Politico madly pursuing their political White Whale culminated last July when Politico was flooded with SIX Epstein stories in just one 24 hour period.
So what was the end result of Politico's absurd Epstein-Trump frenzy? A laughably tardy admission in Tuesday's Politico Playbook that rather than Trump being in cahoots with Epstein, he actively worked with police to nail Epstein due to Trump's disgust with his sleazy activities.

It’s unbelievable, what TDS will do.
Yet, the lies have already been spread and repeated across the podcast world ad infinitum and are believed by multitudes.
It matters not when Politico or the NY Times retracts a lie.
The lie is the whole point. Charlottesville, for example.
Agreed. Or one way to put it is that a lot of people don’t process political information by facts, but by feelings. The constant drumbeat of Trump/Epstein, Trump/Epstein made them feel mad at Trump. Now that the truth is being made known to them it’s done in a way that’s low key and not to play up feelings that they’ll remember. Otherwise, they’d be mad at being played.

Bill Clinton launched an angry attack against House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, with just weeks before his appearance before the Committee to testify about his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton accused Republicans of “running scared” and using him “as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court”
Clinton aimed both barrels at Chairman Comer in posts on X.“I have called for the full release of the Epstein files,” Clinton wrote. “I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee. Now, Chairman Comer says he wants cameras, but only behind closed doors,” he blathered.

Jeffrey Epstein’s activities as as Israeli Mossad agent is a subject of intense speculation.
Declassified FBI documents and reports from early 2026 highlight claims from confidential sources that Epstein was involved with Israeli intelligence.
Epstein’s sex associations with a parade of bigwig intl figures underscores his intel activity for Israel.
In 2020, a confidential source informed the FBI that Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent and that he was “trained as a spy” under former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Epstein’s Links to Ghislaine Maxwell are another clue.
Her father, Robert Maxwell, a media mogul accused of looting his employees’ pension funds, had widely reported ties to Mossad......he died mysteriously, and got a state funeral in Israel attended by Israeli top brass AND high placed Mossad figures.
Files document a close personal and business relationship between Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. W/ visions of billions of US tax dollars blinding his accuracy, Barak has vigorously denied knowing about Epstein’s damaging loyalty issues.
The lure of Sex has always been the MO to calculatedly tap into official govt doings.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and current PM Benjamin Netanyahu have categorically rejected suggestions that Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence. Netanyahu arguing that the close relationship with Barak is inviolable, could, in fact, be the linchpin.
Some researchers suggest that Epstein was an “access agent” or “asset” for various Israeli intelligence services, using his sex-fueled network to gather information.
As of February 2026, the Epstein/Mossad agenda largely rests on informant statements contained in FBI files.
No, it hasn’t.
This is the first I’ve heard of it.
My recollection is of President Trump wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well when she was indicted.

On the subject of lying———how did Ilhan Omar’s hubby make millions from a winery?
- A winery with No phone line
- No physical evidence of wine-making
- A barely functional ‘website’
- No wines in stores
Reality Check
Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her Congressional financial disclosures.
The winery’s name is ‘eStCru LLC.’
In 2023 Omar valued it at $15k.
In 2024 Omar’s official financial reports say it was valued at $5 Million.
The “very successful winery” soared in value over one
year.......at least on Omar’s Congressional records.
Btw, the “winery’s” astronomical valuation happened during the massive Somali govt fraud crime wave.
Well, the Somali thieves had to hide some of the stolen tax dollars somewhere.
What better place than in the thieving Congress?

Convicted sex trafficker Epstein’s $100 Million
Profit On A Secret Police Tech Investment
Former Israel prime minister Ehud Barak helped the convicted sex trafficker quietly invest $1 million in a police tech startup in 2015. Its founder said the company, which is set to be acquired by Axon for $625 million, wasn’t aware of Epstein’s involvement.

Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender when he quietly became a major investor in a police technology startup that is now being acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars. The 2015 deal, in which he invested $1 million in startup Reporty, was brokered by the former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, according to recently released Department of Justice emails. Barak was an early investor and the board chairman of Reporty, later renamed Carbyne. While details of Epstein’s involvement in the company and his decade-long relationship with Barak have previously been reported, the nature and size of the investment have not.
At the time of Epstein’s investment, the company was worth $4.5 million, according to an email from Darren Indyke, one of Epstein’s personal lawyers. In November, police tech giant Axon announced it was acquiring Carbyne at $625 million. The deal has yet to close, but if Epstein had maintained his stake in the company, it could have been worth over $100 million.
Developed by former members of Israel’s elite spy units, Carbyne’s tech is designed for emergency responders. When a 911 call comes in, the software allows the caller to use their smartphone camera to stream video to police HQ so officers can see what is happening on the ground.
Epstein’s original $1 million investment was hidden by a holding company that Barak set up, the emails show. The holding company also included $500,000 from Nicole Junkermann, a German-born investor whom Epstein introduced to his sprawling network of wealthy dignitaries. The term sheets for the investments, which are included in the DOJ’s cache of 3.5 million files relating to the disgraced financier, do not include Epstein or Junkermann’s names. Together, the $1.5 million investment gave Epstein and Junkermann “not less than $25%” of the company, according to an email from Indyke. The emails also show they had warrants allowing them to buy more shares in the future.
Carbyne CEO Amir Elichai said he was not aware of Epstein’s investment. The emails do not show any direct contact between Elichai and the disgraced financier. He said Epstein’s estate did not keep any company stock.
The year of Epstein’s death in 2019, Barak left the board; Carbyne declined to comment on why he stepped down, though reports about their relationship had surfaced in 2019 when Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges. Barak no longer has a stake in the business, Elichai said. Barak declined to comment but has previously said he deeply regretted his relationship with Epstein.
Axon did not respond to requests for comment.
Junkermann took a more active role in Carbyne. She was listed as a director on the firm’s website up until 2020. Elichai said she is not and was never a board member, and that her presence on Carbyne’s website was a mistake by his marketing team. He said she no longer has a stake in the company, though didn’t respond to questions on when or why she divested her stake.
The DOJ emails show Junkermann advising Elichai and Barak on how to grow Reporty’s business. She also offered Barak access to former British prime minister David Cameron and billionaire oil and media tycoon Sir Len Blavatnik. “I had in mind introducing you to Len Blavatnik as discussed at our dinner he could be a potential investor in Reporty and David Cameron who I am sure you know but could be helpful as a business adviser in the UK,” Junkermann wrote in a 2017 email. Epstein was often copied on Junkermann’s emails to Barak, but not to Elichai or other Carbyne staff. Barak, using a non-Carbyne email, also sent company and board presentations to Epstein and Junkermann.
Epstein brokered Junkerman’s connection to Barak prior to their joint investment in Carbyne in 2015, but their relationship dates back to before his 2008 conviction, per the Justice Department emails. Between 2009 and 2019, Epstein introduced her to billionaire investor Leon Black, banker and writer Robert Kuhn and former treasury secretary Larry Summers, who wrote her a recommendation letter for an exclusive World Economic Forum club called Young Global Leaders on Epstein’s request. (She did not make it onto the program. Summers did not respond to requests for comment. He’d previously said he was ashamed of his communications with Epstein, which he described as “misguided.”)
Today, Junkermann runs NJF Holdings, a venture capital firm that has invested in Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Ryan Breslow’s Bolt. She did not respond to requests for comment. NJF declined to comment on her former role at Carbyne, or her relationship with Epstein. Spokesperson Michael Oakes said, “Nicole has invested in more than sixty early-stage technology companies, typically alongside dozens or hundreds of co-investors, venture partners, and founders. Nicole invested in Carbyne because she was impressed by its founder, Amir Elichai, and this was clearly the right call, so she is proud to have seen the company’s success.”
The Carbyne investment is one of several checks Epstein quietly wrote to tech startups and venture capitalists, as Forbes reported, including Coinbase and Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures. Overall, he made surprisingly few investments, given his level of access to wealthy and powerful people in Silicon Valley and beyond.
Barak presented other opportunities for Epstein to invest in police tech. In 2018, he tried and apparently failed to convince Epstein to back a defense and anti-terror tech start-up called Levitection (the company went out of business in 2022 and previously said Barak never became an investor). He also sought Epstein’s help with Tel Aviv-based surveillance business Toka, just before Barak publicly launched it in July 2018 with $12.5 million in funding from the likes of Andreessen Horowitz. While there’s no evidence Epstein invested, Barak suggested the financier could promote Toka to his government contacts, writing, “You can use it vis a vis senior officials or heads. It is built for governments as clients.”
