Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

BIG STORY OF DAY, WEEK AND MONTH
Its the wonderful Jeffrey Epstein, child molester, seducer of young girls, purchaser of female flesh for friends.
His story is a bit confusing but allow us to quickly sum up. Jeffrey earns his living by buying young females for sexual use by his friends. And his friends are high class and rich. Names currently being bandied about include Bill Clinton, of course. Prince Andrew, Dershowitz, Kevin Spacey, and of course somebody threw in the name Trump.
He was recently arrested and former files pulled from the vault. Because the wonderful FBI, protectors of all around us as they get fired one by one, somehow arranged a magnificent plea deal for good ole Jeffrey, gotta love this man. He spent a few months in jail, a wing all to himself, showing up for jail only on weekends.
---------------------------
Epsteins arrest came as a welcome surprise to many, but the momentum for new charges against him has been building since last year. In November, the Miami Herald published an explosive investigative report that revealed horrifying new details about Epsteins crimes and their effects on his many victims. The report included on-the-record, firsthand accounts from four of those victims and exposed the secret plea deal Epsteins lawyers negotiated with former prosecutor and current Department of Labor secretary Alexander Acosta.
-----------------------------------
Do not believe any attachment CNN makes to President Trump. Trump kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago for an alleged pass he made at a young woman. Also, Epsteins own lawyer says Trump was nothing but helpful during the investigation.
That tidbit about the current Dept. of Labor Secretary being on the team that negotiated that molest-young-females-for-free deal, Alexander Acosta, might result in his termination.
Its a swamp people. A dirty, muddy swamp where they think they should be able to molest young girls and smile happily, knowing the FBI will let them go. Damn, Comeys daughter is going to be the prosecutor on this case.
She could get Epstein three hours in jail with pizza and soda available every minute.
I think I am seeing a trend of late. A lot of these deep swamp creatures are being brought out into the open.
We got Jeffrey Epstein about to pay a price. The FBI is firing people every day and no one thinks much of them anymore. Soon good ole Mueller is going to face some music.
By the way, guess who was representing the FBI in Epsteins case back in the early 2000?
BOB MUELLER!!
He really needs to go to jail.
POLITICAL MISCELLANEY
The census question is a mess. Why on earth cant it be asked if the census taker is a citizen? Good ole Chief Justice Roberts gave some kind of ruling that told the administration to take another stab at it.
-------------------
Joe Bidens going down in the polls while Kamala Harris rises. Dear Lord, I dont know what it is about this woman but I cant stand her.
-------------------
Big week coming up. Going to be some indictments on the Russia Hoax. The Epstein case will grow in volume. Keeping eye out.

WOMENS SOCCER TEAM WINS WORLD CUP, WILL VISIT SCHUMER, NOT TRUMP
Once upon a time I would root for American athletes, no matter the sport. But that womens soccer team makes me never want them to win again.
First, Americans dont, as a rule, like soccer. We play football, like real men. We knock you down, punch you in the face and jam the spikes in your feet. But THIS female soccer team, making only a third of what the mens soccer team makes (this makes me happy), are a horrible bunch.
Evidently they play pretty good soccer but have little sport politeness, beating the Thai soccer team a bit too much and showing no good sportsmanship.
That Rapinoe broad, ugly .ugly both in looks and really, really ugly in personality, declared she wouldnt go to the White House and in fact, no one on the team would go. But they are going to visit Chuck Schumer?
They have no taste whatsoever. May they lose any product they may have endorsed.
--------------------------------------
ROSS POIROT DIED
In fact I voted for Ross Poirot, yes I did. At the time I didnt much like Bill Clinton. I forget who the Republican was but I didnt vote for him either.
I was a fool.
Ross Poirot ran for election to help Bill Clinton. He got about 19% of the vote, most of it taken from the Republican candidate.
Ross Poirot had nothing much to offer but I thought I was too cool for school.
But hey, he was a good man and followed his call.
May he rest in peace.
----------------------------
CONGRESS TO HOLD AG BARR IN CONTEMPT
Congress doesnt do much nowadays besides summon people to testify and hold people they dont like in contempt.
They dont pass laws or handle problems like they should is what Im saying here.
------------------------
The House will soon vote to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary William Ross in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas for documents explaining the administrations rationale for wanting to add a citizenship question to the census, Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a Dear Colleague letter on Monday.
The Oversight and Reform Committee last month approved a contempt resolution against Barr and Ross that included language to refer the matter to the U.S. attorney in Washington for possible criminal charges, as well as authorize the pursuit of a lawsuit.
The Justice and Commerce departments have provided the Oversight Committee with some documents on the citizenship question while withholding others over claims of executive privilege.
-------------------------
Its all about the question of whether a census taker is a citizen. I am at a total loss why this is so offensive.
What they going to throw Barr in jail for not providing papers or some such?
They should try being a lawmaker, just for giggles and grins.

HEH. STUPID GUY RESIGNS
From Breitbart news:
Sir Kim Darroch, the British Ambassador to the U.S. described by President Trump as a very stupid guy, has resigned his post. The final straw, he has claimed, was watching future Prime Minister Boris Johnson repeatedly failing to support him last night in a TV debate.

THE GREAT NORTHEAST EARTHQUAKE
Heres wishing the folks in California good luck as their world rocks and rolls under them. However I must share my experience with the great Northeast earthquake, happened about four five years ago. And, heh, my house suffered damage from it.
It was an afternoon, around a little after noon. I was sitting in my La-Z-Boy chair listening to Rush Limbaugh. Rush wasnt on the day of the great Northeast earthquake, more on this later.
My dog began acting nuts. She sniffed and moaned and insisted on going outside. Rare in that I listen to Rush at lunch and dog sits with me until after my short nap. All of a sudden the chair started well Im not sure how to describe it, but it kept going around in circles. It was close to nap time, I was a bit sleepy, I thought, in my pre-nap slumber, that there was a raccoon in the chair.
I jumped up and ran into my bathroom, terrified at how a damn raccoon got in my chair. All of a sudden Rushs replacement came back on the air after commercial.
Folks, you will never believe this, he said and, again, I forget who he was. But we just had an earthquake!
Understand that this Rush replacement was physically located in New York. My chair with the raccoon was located in Delaware.
The news about the earthquake continued on, from New England down to Virginia.
It was summer so it took a few weeks before I learned that the pilot light on my furnace was leaking. Call to plumber, first told me it was sewer line. Came back, told me the earthquake had evidently unloosed the thing.
Man, me and husband could blowed up! Much less raccoons in the La-Z-Boy chairs and dogs who detected the quake before it even began.
ONE OF THE TOP TEN INVENTIONS THIS DECADE
Those contracting hoses are wonderful. The expand when you turn on the water. They contract when the water is empties from the hose casing. Ive been a gardener most of my life and wrestling with heavy hoses, huge reels, rolling back up ..
.the expanding hose. Top ten inventions this decade.
BRIDGEVILLE MOTTO APPLIES TO EVERY CITY ON THE PLANET.
Bridgeville, Del. Is about 30 miles from me, a lovely little burb not near the ocean waters. As one enters Bridgeville they are greeted by a big sign with its motto.
Welcome to Bridgeville, Delaware. If you lived here you already be home.
What the hell kind of motto is that? Dont those words apply to every city, town and berg on the planet earth?
Heh.
Well it is kind of cute. But hardly original.
GUBMINT INTERVENTION NEEDED.
I dont want the gubmint to get involved in our lives too deeply but I offer something important to us, so important that time to make law.
ALL PANTS, SHIRTS, SKIRTS AND DRESSES MUST HAVE POCKETS!
Do you have any idea how important pockets are?
Especially in this era of cell phones.
I am a conservative and dont want the gubmint telling me what to do but its time to make pockets on clothing mandatory.
Also, need place to store Kleenex.
Heh.
Im being snippy.
But whether or not a clothing item has pockets is a big part of my desire to purchase it.

ALEX ACOSTA EXPLAINS EPSTEIN ACTION
Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta is on the front lines in the get rid of Trump battle because he had been involved with the making of a wonderful deal for the sweet and gentle Jeffrey Epstein.
At least as the Democrats declare. Who are determined to somehow link President Trump get blame for the great and intellectual Epstein.
Rush Limbaugh declares this whole sudden interest in Epstein, who adores and loves young women and all that he could do for them, is naught but another swamp attempt to get Trump thrown out of office.
I am not so sure.
My argument for Rushs thesis is that the sudden interest in Epstein is an attempt to finally get rid of the Clintons.
Lookit, they did everything possible to wrest the election from Trump back to Hillary where the Democrats thought it belonged. They got Nadler and Schiff working day and night to give Trump a bad name. They kept Mueller plugging away for over two years and managed to get a million and more bucks assigned to the task.
The Lamestream media has been following Hillarys instructions for three years now and some of the Democrats have enough sense to know the future Democratic party does not belong to the Clintons. Also, at least I sense, theres some Obamas and Val Jarrett mixed up in all this mess.
Because unlike 2006 when this sweetheart deal came about for that sweetheart of a guy Epstein, the American public is a bit more wary of this elite which set up that Mueller joke, gave bazillions to Iran without a congressional vote, with Hunter Biden getting rich off the Chinese and Ukraine.
No way is Epstein going to go away this time.
And Epstein has a slew of people associated with him, to include Bill Clinton mightily, Kevin Spacey, that Senator from New Jersey many, many Democrats and NOT Donald Trump.
So why not take a couple of swings at Acosta, Trumps Labor Secretary, who was associated with the Epstein case? Anytime you got a chance to knock a Trump appointee is a good thing, no?
Acosta defends himself by saying it was the Feds who handled the Epstein case, which had him spend 45 minutes a day in jail, pizza on demand and on call, private basketball court and Chinese food to be delivered at least once per week.
Its a strange situation but know this yon readers, Epstein got a deal and was looked out for by those who might suffer damages should Epstein start doing a lot of talking.
When youre a charter member of the Swamp you dont suffer quite the same consequences of, say, a Clinton or senator from New Jersey.
This time I dont think Epstein is going to go away. Its ten years beyond 2006 and Obama is not the President.
--------------------------------
Amid calls for his resignation, Acosta blamed Krischer's office for being "ready to let Epstein walk free, no jail time, nothing." Acosta said that was "completely unacceptable" and, when the U.S. attorney's office became involved, his office secured jail time 13 months with work-release privileges restitution and registration as a sex offender.

THE PUBLISHED LIES OF BRETT KAVANAUGHS ACCUSER
--------------------------
From Wikipedia
, Palo Alto University Professor of Psychology Christine Blasey Ford contacted a Washington Post tip line with accusations that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s while the two were in high school.[7][8][9]
-------------------------
"Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court," by Molly Hemingway and Carrie Severino reveals much about the fake hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Like how his accuser cleaned up her social media BEFORE approaching the Washington Post with her story. Or how Ford used to like the guys and liked the booze.
Theres a lot we didnt learn from the Kavanagh hearings and thank God they lost.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PROMISES EXECUTIVE ACTION FOR CITIZENSHIP QUESTION ON CENSUS
Its a little unclear but it seems that President Trump is going to initiate an executive order to put the question of citizenship on the census form.
As of this writing there is expected to be a press conference on the matter.
Will report in.

Survival of the Fittest
So we have a whole bunch of people in this country that want to make it into another Venezuela.
To do so would have people wearing red MAGA hats being beaten and spit on. Companies such as Home Depot that endorses Trump will be mocked, maligned and boycotted. Arrogant female soccer players refuse to go to the White House but will dance with Chuck Schumer.
Meanwhile so many of us sit in anger and curse those who tell us what to say, where to eat, who to love, who to hate.
NO IT ISNT!!!
Folks, its US who are bringing about our own downfall. If Iran can keep lying to us while taking millions from us for the lies .if a fat little dictator in Korea can get Madelyn Albright and Hillary to share champagne with him in celebration of yet more rockets being launched over the Sea of Japan .if turd heads can demand we leave their business and eat elsewhere AND WE LET THEM DO IT!!!
Well then my ladies and gems, we will be eliminated as the poor, hateful and stupid take over our country, then the planet.
Its called Survival of the Fittest. Those who refuse to let them take the gun ..who refuse to allow them to beat their bodies with crowbards ..those who demand that Jussie Smolliet pay for his lies .they are the survivors.
Because those who follow the haters, who bow and obey them, who are afraid of them .they will be controlled by those who hate and are mean.
They will NOT be the Survivors and soon their genes will be removed from the planet.
Thats my take of Surviving as the Fittest. You let them control, you are NOT the fittest.

PRESIDENT TRUMP FIGHTS HIS WAY TO YET ANOTHER VICTORY
For over a hundred years there has been a question regarding citizenship on census forms. But President Obama removed it and not a peep, NOT A DAMN PEEP, out of the Republicans.
Obama removed the question, boom, no problems, via executive order. The federal courts, who now run this country it would seem, may Justice Roberts go right to hell and not pass go. Asshole.
But the court comes up with some scam to make it impossible for Trump to put the question back in.
----------------------------------------- HERE
President Donald Trump announced Thursday hell be issuing an executive order directing federal agencies to provide the Commerce Department with records pertaining to the number of citizens and noncitizens in our country. Speaking to reporters from the White House Rose Garden, Trump said his administration is not backing down on our effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population. While Attorney General William Barr said the citizenship question would not be included on the 2020 census, Trump detailed what his administration will do instead.
I am hereby ordering every department and agency in the federal government to provide the Department of Commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and noncitizens in our country, Trump said, as ABC News reported. They must furnish all legally accessible records in their possession immediately. We will utilize these vast federal databases to gain a full, complete, and accurate count of the noncitizen population.
----------------------
Well we have about ten thousand million federal agencies and it would seem that Trump and his team are going to conduct a fair statistical count of the number of people in this country that are not citizens.
Trump has to think outside the box to get around the courts that own us and the Democrats that hate us.

JOE BIDEN FINALLY JOINS THE HATE TRUMP GANG THAT IT WILL WIN HIM AN ELECTION
What the very intelligent, loving children, foreign policy expert said about President Trump:
-------------------
The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed and impulsive -- and sometimes corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership and leadership at home," Biden said in a speech on foreign policy in New York.
------------------
Joe Biden, from my very own state of Delaware although every chance the jerk gets he says hes from Pennsylvania.
Please God, dont let him win. Get this man out of our lives. Hes done nothing but make money from his elections. Id rather have Justice Roberts, traitor and liar, win, that awful Joe.

RUSH LIMBAUGH AND THE BETSY ROSS TSHIRTS
In view of Nikes bowing to Colin Kapernick in defining our fashion choices, Rush Limbaugh came up with an idea to sell Tshirts with Betsy Ross flags on them. He makes no profit from them but is teaming up with a charity and there goes the profits.
I think its a great idea and look it up on Rushlimbaugh.com.
Show Nike how much money they lost because the wonderful, fashionable, American-loving Colin Kapernicke dictated what they should sell.
Heh.

Giggle of the week
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3763261/posts
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
The Florida prosecutor who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to get away with the abuse of children is a very popular guy in Palm Beach.
The YWCA of Palm Beach County (eliminating racism, empowering women) offers the Barry Krischer Humanitarian Award and the Domestic Violence Council has a Barry Krischer scholarship.
Last year, the ADL honored Krischer with its Jurisprudence Award.
The Florida Bar had honored Kirscher with a lifetime achievement award and hes still listed as a member in good standing. Even Jeb Bush had bestowed a Peace at Home award on the prosecutor.
Krischer sits on the Criminal Justice Commission and offers training to law enforcement, court personnel and child welfare providers on dealing with crimes of sexual violence. His bio states that he remains active in child welfare issues through his work with the Department of Children and Families.
The former Palm Beach County State Attorney had made national news three times during his career. Once when he went after Rush Limbaugh, then after Ann Coulter, two Republicans, and when, after being handed the case of Epstein, a co-founder of the Clinton Global Initiative, he gave him a pass.
Barry Krischer is a Democrat. Jeffrey Epstein is a billionaire donor to Democrats.
As Chief Prosecutor, Krischer had made his reputation with a zero-tolerance policy of prosecuting juveniles as adults. But after Epstein had abused underage girls, Krischer, according to the detective on the case, ignored police efforts to charge him with four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and instead the billionaire abuser was indicted only on a minor charge of solicitation of prostitution.
Interviews with over a dozen girls and witnesses were ignored.
The victims were not notified of when they needed to appear before Krischers Grand Jury. Calls by the police to issue warrants for the arrest of Epstein and his associates were ignored by Kirschers subordinates. Eventually, Kirschers people stopped taking phone calls from the police.
The Palm Beach police chief claimed that information was being leaked to Epsteins lawyers and wrote a public letter attacking Krischer and urging him to disqualify himself from the case. Instead the travesty went on. State prosecutors allowed Epstein to skip sex offender counselling, and hire a private shrink.
When the judge asked assistant state prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek if all the victims had signed off on the deal, she claimed that they had. The lawyer for the victims has said that was not the truth.
As a sex offender, Epstein should have been in state prison, but instead he received a private wing in the Palm Beach County stockade.
Theres significant budget cuts in the county already, and sending him to the county jail and not the Dept. of Corrections is a significant cost to the taxpayer and the county, the judge had objected.
But reporting to the stockade allowed Epstein to hire Palm Beach sheriffs deputies as his security while he spent the day in his office on his work release program. The deputies stayed in the front room of his office, during the time that he was supposed to be in prison, while visitors went into his private office.
The deputies stopped calling Epstein an inmate and began referring to him as a client.
Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, a Democrat, oversaw the illegal arrangement.
Bradsaw and Krischer were political allies.
After 13 months of this, there was another year of house arrest in which Epstein was able to fly his jet around the country and around the world. Before long, he was partying with the smart set, including Charlie Rose, Katie Couric, Woody Allen and Chelsea Handler. And his case was forgotten. Until now.
The Palm Beach police chief had referred the case to the FBI, hoping to hit Epstein with federal charges. The Feds were able to assemble a 53-page indictment. And they too folded. The U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, is now Trump's secretary of labor. And that explains the sudden renewed interest.
But, unlike Epsteins Democrat pals, Trump wasnt hanging out with Epstein after the truth came out.
Epsteins victims were originally denied justice because of his connections to Democrat politicians. They may now receive justice as part of an attack on a Trump cabinet member in the post-Clinton era.
But why did Epstein get a pass from the feds?
Acosta allegedly told Trump transition officials that he had been told to back off Epstein. I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone, he allegedly said.
Meanwhile Epstein had served as a key federal witness and received valuable consideration in the Bear Stearns case. The hedge fund managers in the Bear Stearns case however were acquitted. This is yet another mystery in the big question of how Epstein made his money and where it came from.
In a world where financial dealings are carefully tracked by the media, that is its own mystery.
Epstein was supposedly a money manager, but his clients are unknown. His firm, Financial Trust Co. is located in the Virgin Islands. As are a number of other companies with bland names like NES and Maple Inc. that he used to make his purchases. After a decade of litigation, his true net worth is still unknown.
According to one acquittance, Epstein claimed to have helped African dictators hide their stolen money.
Jeffrey Epstein spent his career moving in rarefied social, political and financial circles. Its unknown who in the government might have given Acosta a stand down order in regard to prosecuting him.
And we may never know.
The actual dirty work was handled by Ann Marie Villafaña, a federal prosecutor, who wrote to Epstein's lawyer, “I would prefer not to highlight for the judge all the other crimes and all the other persons that we could charge.
No mention has been made of her even though she had been rebuked in a previous child sex case.
Meanwhile media outlets, instead of asking Barry Krischer any hard questions, enthusiastically quote a letter by Krischer attacking Acosta.
All the facts of the Epstein case had been available a decade ago. The media chose to ignore them until after the Clintons had flamed out. The timing of the medias interest in Epstein is its own cover-up.
Now the media wants to talk about Acosta and Trump, instead of Clinton and Krischer.
But the story begins with Krischer.
According to Palm Beachs top cop, the prosecutor had wanted to nail Epstein. And then something changed. At some point in the case, Barry Krischer may have received his own stand down order.
But Krischers history is almost as interesting as Epstein.
Epstein was politically protected. And so was Krischer.
When Krischer was sued by a legal secretary who accused him of groping her, the National Organization of Women organized a rally in his defense. One of Krischers former state attorneys, Thomas H. Schnieders, would later beat his mother to death with a crowbar. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. And, instead of going to prison, has been sent to a mental health facility.
The Florida Bar lists his membership as lapsed.
But thats not the strangest story involving Barry Krischer. In 1986, Mark Baltes was killed in a hit-and-run. The driver of the car hired Krischer, then merely a lawyer, to keep his identity anonymous and make a deal. The mystery dragged on for over two years. Investigators used Krischers connections to track him down and discovered that the driver was his lawyers tenant. When he was caught, Krischers client got off with probation, receiving immunity in exchange for a confession, despite showing no remorse.
These days, Krischer is one of the founders of The Children's Place at Home Safe, an organization that claims to help abused children of around the same ages as Epstein's victims.
The next Barry Krischer Humanitarian Award will be handed out in October. Unless the truth comes out.
....................
So as we see our Presidents faith in Acosta was well deserved and in truth Acosta should never have resigned he had nothing to apologize for.”He had been told that he better back off of Epstein since he was intelligence”.
Not to heed that warning could easily have meant jail time for acosta since we already know unless you are a high ranking Obama appointee outing those who work in secret is a federal offense.
At least the record has been set straight and we now see that Acosta at least assured some jail time for Epstein be it what it was instead of just letting the guy go scott free which is what Krischner would have undoubtedly preferred.
My argument for Rushs thesis is that the sudden interest in Epstein is an attempt to finally get rid of the Clintons
Yes! An attempt to pull her donor class away by making them radioactive. Rush didnt give it much thought , its a little too on the nose for him.

from link:
So, apologies in advance, but I want to do a quick little THREAD to explain my theory of what the Epstein story really is. I promise this isnt some crazy Pizzagate conspiracy about space lizards, just a neat little explanation that IMO perfectly fits the known facts (0/13):
(1/13) Lets take as our starting points two givens.
(A.) You are a committed, unrepentant pedophile
(B.) Because of your old job in private banking, you are very connected to lots of very, very wealthy people
Well also assume a goal:
(Z.) You want to become very rich
(2/13) The obvious route is, well, obvious: you could just be a pimp, offering underage prostitute services to very rich people. This has two problems: youre very disposable (see: DC madam), and its also not super lucrative. You cant charge millions of dollars up front.
(3/13) The second level though follows instantly: You dont need to charge up front, just get them to have underage sex, and then blackmail them afterwards for hush money. Better ROI, but youre still a liability, and producing and receiving big bribe money raises big questions.
(4/13) So, what to do? Well, the second idea has some merits. First, you need to recruit people in. Have lots of massive parties at your spacious home (check), invite top academics, artists, politicians to encourage people to come (check), and supply lots of young women (check)
(5/13) You dont even have to do anything, and most people invited might even be totally unaware of the real purpose of the parties! But, sooner or later, some billionaire will get handsy, shell escort him to a room with a hidden camera, things happen. Morning after, you strike.
(6/13) You inform him she was really 15, but you offer him a nice, neat way to buy your silence: a large allocation to your hedge fund, which charges 2/20 (check). To ensure nobody else asks questions, you also take the extraordinary step of demanding power of attorney (check)
(7/13) The fund is offshore in a tax haven (check) and nobody will see the client list (check). Of course, you dont really know anything about investing, instead making up some nonsense about currency trading (check), and nobody on Wall Street has ever traded with you (check)
(8/13) The fund itself doesnt need investment personnel (check), only some back office people to process the wires (check). You dont want to money from non-pedophiles, or theyll notice youve just put it in a S&P 500 fund, so you reject all incoming inquiries (check)
(9/13) A $20 million wire from Billionaire X to you with no obvious reason will raise many questions, and the IRS will certainly want to know what you did to warrant it. A $5 million quarterly fee for managing $1 billion in assets? Nobody bats an eye.
(10/13) Because of this structure, youre extraordinarily secretive about client lists (check) because they arent clients, theyre pedophiles paying you bribes, and they also are very secretive, which is why no letters or return streams ever leak (check)
(11/13) Occasionally you may also try this trick on other people: important political figures, mayors, prosecutors, etc. They dont invest in the fund, but its nice to have them in your pocket. Others (academics, artists, etc.) can just be bought with money as a PR smokescreen.
(12/13) And, of course, the scam can be kept going as long as people are willing to pay, which is forever. If youre ever caught, just lean on some of your other friends in government to lean on the prosecutor to get you a sweetheart deal. Theres almost zero risk.
(13/13) And the last piece of the puzzle is the evidence. Youd want it somewhere remote, but accessible: a place the US cant touch but you have an excuse to visit all the time to update. Remember that offshore fund?
(9/13) A $20 million wire from Billionaire X to you with no obvious reason will raise many questions, and the IRS will certainly want to know what you did to warrant it. A $5 million quarterly fee for managing $1 billion in assets? Nobody bats an eye.
(10/13) Because of this structure, you’re extraordinarily secretive about client lists (check) because they aren’t clients, they’re pedophiles paying you bribes, and they also are very secretive, which is why no letters or return streams ever leak (check)
(11/13) Occasionally you may also try this trick on other people: important political figures, mayors, prosecutors, etc. They don’t invest in the fund, but it’s nice to have them in your pocket. Others (academics, artists, etc.) can just be bought with money as a PR smokescreen.
I bet theres a *very* interesting safe deposit box there.
The fact that Epsteins fund is offshore in a tax haven it is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands and has a secret client list both add credence to the blackmail theory.
