Legendary broadcast journalist once called 'the most trusted man in America' Walter Cronkite appears in newly released Epstein flight logs
Daily Mail ^

Newly released flight manifest records from Jeffrey Epstein's private plane include legendary broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite.

The revered journalist - often dubbed 'the most trusted man in America' - appeared in documents made public on Friday by the House Oversight Committee. Also in the logs were Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson.

The documents did not suggest wrongdoing for Cronkite or any of the names listed. But it could reveal the scope of Epstein's network as well as who had access to his properties.

The flight logs show the 91-year-old Cronkite boarded a flight in the depths of winter on January 12, 2007 and took a plane from Newark, New Jersey to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

Cronkite was among eight passengers on board including Jeffrey Epstein who was likely hosting the group at one of his two private islands - Little St. James and Great St. James - located just off the coast of St. Thomas.

Did CBS run a 60 MINUTES segment on this?

Libs shut up pretty quickly about the topic this week.

Epstein had contacts with everybody - really everybody - that go back at least to the early 1980s.

The Little Saint James Island is where the criminal activity took place. The flight log doesn’t make it clear if Cronkite visited that island or Great Saint James which apparently wasn’t involved in the same activities.

Related story has other names:

Members of the oversight committee conducted the interview with Alex Acosta in late September, who previously served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Included in the document release by the House Oversight Committee are flight manifests for Epstein’s private plane, which include Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Walter Cronkite and Richard Branson. None of these individuals have been accused of any wrongdoing.

People in the industry thought he was a joke. That joke about him was the basis of a character on the Mary Tyler Moore show played by Ted Knight called Ted Baxter.

The most trusted man in America? Just like Ted Kennedy was “the Lion of the Senate”. Maybe the cowardly lion.

As did the democrat fake POTUS who got us into the Vietnam War both boots:

The Aftermath Of The Gulf Of Tonkin Incident In The U.S.

Despite the captain’s efforts to correct the errors of his original messages during the Gulf of Tonkin incident, U.S. officials took the idea of unprovoked attacks and ran with it.

Shortly after the attack was reported, President Johnson made his decision to retaliate. He immediately appeared in front of the United States with a televised speech.

“As President and Commander in Chief,” he said, “it is my duty to the American people to report that renewed hostile actions against United States ships on the high seas in the Gulf of Tonkin have today required me to order the military forces of the United States to take action in reply.”

Do not defame somebody because they flew on a plane or had a photograph taken. This isn’t justice, this isn’t right. Now, if they flew over and over again, you gotta wonder.

Post retirement, he really championed the Toon; when Lewinski, or maybe before, Paula Jones, scandals were breaking news,he had Toon out on the boat standing up for his character.

Yes, it’s possible to fly on a plane and not have been a pedo.

True.

Let’s see - in front of the cameras - all of the folks on the flight list called to testify in Congress, sworn in, and go on record what they did or didn’t do. Start with Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.

91? They would need life-support just to blackmail him.
