Jeffrey Epstein Was a Sex Offender. The Powerful Welcomed Him Anyway.
New York Times, via MSn ^ | July 13, 2019 | Jodi Kantor, et al

Posted on 07/13/2019 7:56:35 PM PDT by libstripper

A strange thing happened when Jeffrey Epstein came back to New York City after being branded a sex offender: His reputation appeared to rise.

In 2010, the year after he got out of a Florida prison, Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined at his Manhattan mansion with a British royal. The next year, Mr. Epstein was photographed at a “billionaire’s dinner” attended by tech titans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. A page popped up on Harvard University’s website lauding his accomplishments, and superlative-filled news releases described his lofty ambitions as he dedicated $10 million to charitable causes.

It must have really pained the Slimes to have published this article because here the only two mentions of PDJ

"Over a decade ago, when Mr. Epstein was very publicly accused of sexually abusing girls as young as 14, he minimized the legal consequences with high-powered lawyers, monetary settlements that silenced complaints, and a plea deal that short-circuited an F.B.I. investigation and led to the resignation announcement on Friday of a Trump cabinet official who had overseen the case as a prosecutor."

and

"Though some institutions and prominent people, including Donald J. Trump, said they shunned him, Mr. Epstein’s tactics largely worked."

Notice how grudging the exoneration of PDJT is.

However, it still is, and it's by the Slimes.

Looks like this is another dog that's not going to hunt for the DemonShits.

No mention at all of Maxwell’s father being an Israeli superspy.

Virginia Roberts was working at Mar-a-Lago when she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to be a masseuse to Palm Beach hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein. She says she was groomed for sex with him and his associates, attorney Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew.

Elon Musk, called the British cave diver a child rapist, when all along, he was hobknobbing it with the likes of Jeffrey Epstein.

Why doesn’t the Democrat Party disavow Bill Clinton?

Do they all think that abusing girls is OK?

We need the Steve Martin "I forgot!" skit inserted here.

Definitely not journalism from the NY Times, since they write that Jeffrey Epstein ‘was’ a sex offender. He is a sex offender.
Do tell us all about the many airplanes Jeffrey Epstein has. Some people say some of his airplanes were owned by the US Government. Mr. Epstein was not a one man operation. Who was bankrolling him? Lots of money was involved and Jeffrey’s story does not ring true.

10 Dec 2017: Washington Times: Fusion GPS tried to tie Trump to Clinton’s pedophile pal Epstein as part of smear campaign
by Rowan Scarborough
Journalist sources told The Washington Times that Fusion founder Glenn Simpson pushed the idea of a close relationship between Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting sex from an underage girl.
The Trump-Epstein link appears purely social, far short of Mr. Clinton’s 20-plus plane rides on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet around the globe in the early 2000s...

Ken Silverstein, the reporter who ultimately wrote an Epstein-Trump report, confirmed to The Times that Fusion had sourced the story. Mr. Silverstein, founder and editor of WashingtonBabylon.com who wrote the story for Vice.com, defended Mr. Simpson as a solid source of information that must first be confirmed...

Mr. Silverstein, who wrote the Vice.Com story, was asked by The Washington Times if Fusion pushed the Epstein-Trump story.
“Since you asked, yes, they helped me with that,” Mr. Silverstein said. “But as you can see, I could not make a strong case for Trump being super close to Epstein, so they could hardly have been thrilled with that story. [In my humble opinion], that was the best story written about Trump’s ties to Epstein, but I failed to nail him. Trump’s ties were mild compared to Bill Clinton‘s.
“I said Fusion could not have been happy with the Epstein story,” he added. “What I mean is that I never proved a really sleazy connection, so frankly I was disappointed too, I thought there was more (and still wonder)...

Given the number of powerful people who fear and hate Trump, if Epstein had any compromising information about him it would have come out 2 1/2 years ago.

All the pussy hat women who’ve called President Trump a misogynist, sexist, etc....WHERE are THEY????? Looks like it was mostly the male Democrat species (and women too) who let this happen, or participated.

In 2015, a new foundation Mr. Epstein created, Gratitude America, received a $10 million infusion and started making donations. The source of the money is something of a mystery.

If the source was the Clinton Foundation it would mean Epstein had some incriminating candids of of the Slickone on the Lolita Express.

"In 2010, the year after he got out of a Florida prison, Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined at his Manhattan mansion with a British royal."

It was a "Yom Kippur buffet" (which I didn't even know was a thing) the first night of his return to his spacious Manhatten home, bought for zero dollars. And Stephanopolous and Katie Couric attended with about 98 others who brought their KIDS...!

Yes, to a dinner IN HONOR of a child molester, you read that right.

And CNN later admonished viewers to "avoid undue attention to who Epstein's friends are" while Couric who repeatedly FLEW OUT TO HIS ISLAND was a CNN employee...!!

Hard to beat that, eh..?

To me that was a real wowzer.

One of my favorite Epstein philanthropies was for a $25k check to a GIRLS’ TENNIS CAMP.

Ya know, some of his giving might just be totally legit, but that particular one..?

It seemed like RECRUITING PREP, you know..?

Ways Epstein resembles the Las Vegas mass shooter:

Wealthy
Multiple houses
Planes
Past is very poorly documented
Apparently no family of his own
Path to great wealth lacks long paper trail; riches "just APPEAR"
Background does not match employment history
Life decision reasons very unclear

It’s juuust like someone who has or has had a connection with the operations side of the intel world

I joked that we were the token gentiles at my neighbor’s Yom Kippur break fast 35ish years ago. Good times, good eats, I wanted an invite to that one every year.
