Former President Bill Clinton was a guest at Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island, according to testimony from an Epstein accuser which was unsealed on Thursday.

Virginia Giuffre — who has also accused Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell of abusing her — told lawyers in 2011 that Clinton visited Epstein’s private Little St. James Island with Maxwell, herself and “two young girls” from New York.

She added that Clinton stayed in Epstein’s private residence on the island, where “orgies were a constant thing that took place.”

Giuffre recalled being surprised to see the former president on the island.

“I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor,” Giuffre said.

“He never told me what favors they were

Not just him, but a ton of names in Hollywood. The fact that he’s giving up his American citizen and moving to a country where it is not a crimeis interesting.

Who are they protecting...

The usual suspects. Evidently DOJ was more interested in nailing a couple of hedge fund execs and got help from Epstein.

Bill Clinton visited Epstein’s ‘orgy island,’ Netflix doc claims – but ex-president still denies it

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bill-clinton-visited-epsteins-orgy-island-netflix-doc-claims-but-ex-president-still-denies-it

Clinton spokesman reiterated this week that any stories connecting the former president to the island are untrue.

“This was a lie the first time it was told, and it isn’t true today, no matter how many times it’s repeated,” spokesman Angel Urena told the New York Post.

Last July, Clinton’s office issued a statement confirming he had taken trips to Europe, Asia and Africa aboard Epstein’s private plane – and had briefly visited Epstein’s New York City apartment – but was accompanied by Clinton Foundation staff and Secret Service agents each time, according to the Post.

Yada, yada, yada.

If I remember correctly, Clinton the dog ditched SS on at least a few Orgy Island trips.

as far as i can tell, they may have try to lure bill in to blackmail him, but he probably didn’t go for it since this is after the scandal and he was being careful. so we know he prefer his woman fat and plain.

Trump is mentioned too but nothing substantial

looks like dershowitz will have a problem, Not only did Dershowitz abuse the minor, but he helped draft a non-prosecution agreement that gave Dershowitz immunity

IMO, it’s not who they are protecting it’s more about what they are protecting....

The richer more powerful you are, the more perversion you can purchase....Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t blackmailing anyone, they were paying him to be part of a sex trafficking ring, for the rich and famous...they paid him the money and he furnished the children....

Clinton and top aide Stephanopoulous (now at ABC)

Jeffrey Epstein Visited the Clinton White House Multiple Times in Early ’90s
Epstein/Clinton ties date back to the president’s earliest days in the White House

The Daily Beast, 07.24.19, Emily Shugerman, Suzi Parker
With additional reporting by Michael Daly

Days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges in New York, Bill Clinton distanced himself from the high-flying financier and convicted sex offender. The former president owned up to just six encounters with Epstein, starting in 2002: four flights on the billionaire’s private jet, a single trip to his Harlem office, and one “brief visit” to his New York apartment, all with staff and security detail in tow.

Now, a Daily Beast investigation has uncovered ties between Epstein and the Clinton administration that date back to the president’s earliest days in the White House, casting doubt on the oft-circulated narrative that the two only began associating after Clinton left office.

As early as 1993, records show, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association and attended a donors’ reception hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Around the same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential aide Mark Middleton several times at the White House. Two years later, businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote a personal letter to Clinton thanking him for their talk about the financier.

“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, told The Daily Beast. “Any suggestion to the contrary is both factually inaccurate and irresponsible.” Representatives for Epstein, de Rothschild and Middleton did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Dinner At The White House---How Epstein entered Clinton’s orbit remains unclear. When the president released his initial statement on Epstein, he did not explain the multiple other trips he appears to have taken on the financier’s plane—including one flight to Westchester with Epstein, his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, and an “unnamed female.”

Clinton also failed to mention the intimate 1995 fundraising dinner at the Palm Beach home of Revlon mogul Ron Perelman, where Clinton hobnobbed with the likes of Epstein, Don Johnson, and Jimmy Buffett. (Nearby, at Epstein’s own Palm Beach mansion, the money man allegedly abused hundreds of underage girls.)

The two were clearly chummy by the early Clinton Foundation years, as attested to by a 2002 photo of Epstein and Clinton in Brunei that appeared in Vicky Ward’s 2003 profile of the financier. In a 2002 piece for New York magazine about the Africa trip, Clinton praised Epstein as a “highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist.”

Politico recently claimed that Clinton and Epstein connected in the first few years after the president left office. Citing “people who know those involved,” the article pegged Maxwell as the glue connecting the two men, and Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, as the tie between the president and the British socialite. Politico noted that Maxwell had vacationed with the Chelsea in 2009, attended her wedding in 2010, and participated in the Clinton Global Initiative as recently as 2013. (A Clinton spokesperson denied Chelsea and Ghislaine were close.)

Documents in the Clinton Library, however, attest to much earlier links between Maxwell, Epstein, and the Clinton White House. In late September of 1993, Bill and Hillary Clinton hosted a reception for supporters who had contributed to recent White House renovations. The nearly $400,000 overhaul—which included new gold draperies and a 13-color woven rug for the Oval Office—was funded entirely by donations to the White House Historical Association, a private organization that helps preserve and promote the White House as a historical monument.

The reception took place at the White House residence from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., according to a copy of the president’s daily schedule. White House Social Secretary Ann Stock—who appears in Epstein’s little black book of phone numbers—was listed as the point of contact. According to multiple attendees, the evening included an intimate tour of the newly refurbished residence, followed by a receiving line with the president and first lady. Dessert was served in the East Room, where the couple thanked everyone for attending and announced the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.

Guests for the event, according to the invitation list, included the journalist and philanthropist Barbara Goldsmith, heiress Jane Engelhard, political consultant Cynthia Friedman, and “Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell.” Epstein and Maxwell do not appear on the ‘regret list,’ and there is a letter ‘A’ next to both of their names, indicating they planned to attend. A press release from the event, put out by Hillary Clinton’s office, lists Epstein as a White House Historical Association donor. Attorneys for Epstein did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

A letter from the following month reveals the extent of the financier’s generosity. Bernard R. Meyer, the executive vice president of the White House Historical Association, sent a note to Epstein’s Madison Avenue offices on Oct. 4, thanking him for his $10,000 contribution. The donation, Meyer wrote, would "assist in funding the costs of refurbishing the Oval Office in the West Wing and certain areas of the Executive Residence.”

A carbon copy of Meyer’s letter was also sent to A. Paul Prosperi—a college friend of Bill Clinton’s who visited Epstein frequently when the financier was jailed in 2008. Visitor logs show Prosperi, a Florida-based attorney, visited Epstein at least 20 times during the 13 months he spent in Palm Beach county jail for procuring an underage prostitute. Prosperi also attended the 1995 Perelman fundraiser where both Epstein and Clinton were present.

--SNIP--

'My Fifteen Seconds of Access'----- Jeffrey Epstein’s name shows up again in the Clinton Library archives in a letter dated April 27, 1995, from Lynn Forester to “President William T. Clinton.” Forester—who became Lynn Forester de Rothschild after her marriage in 2000 to Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild—served on Clinton’s National Information Infrastructure Advisory Committee and on the president’s Secretary of Energy Advisory Board. She and her husband also spent the first night of their honeymoon in the Lincoln Bedroom by invitation of the Clintons.

In the 1995 letter, Forester de Rothschild writes, “Dear Mr. President: It was a pleasure to see you recently at Senator Kennedy’s house. There was too much to discuss and too little time. 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.” She then goes on to note that she’s sending him a memo on the latter subject, which George Stephanopoulos had asked her to write, and signs off, “Sincerely, Lynn Forester.” The businesswoman did not respond to a request for comment left with her office.

What exactly Forester de Rothschild discussed with Clinton about Epstein and “currency stabilization” is unknown. In its 2002 profile of Epstein, New York noted that the mysterious money man liked to talk currency trading with his brainy pals—“the euro, the real, the yen.” And in 2003, Vicky Ward reported in Vanity Fair on his self-declared “skill at playing the currency markets ‘with very large sums of money’.” Epstein was also doing business and trading currencies with Deutsche Bank until a few months ago, when the bank ended the relationship.

Perhaps Ghislaine can enlighten us WRT the sources of Epstein's wealth.

Interviews WRT various investigations into Mr. Epstein’s wealth, and his legal and financial documents in multiple
countries, showed tens of millions of dollars coursed thru his offshore companies and foundations in unusual ways.

<><> $88M appeared in Epstein’s V/I-registered company in the 2000's that normally held only small amounts.
<><> one entity sent 10's of millions to billionaire retail tycoon, Leslie H. Wexner's "charity" years after Wexner said he cut ties with Epstein.

Tens of millions of dollars flowed among Jeffrey Epstein’s dozens of bank accounts, shell companies and, charities linked to high-powered friends.
Where was the money going? What was it for? Who was actually sending and receiving it?
He surrounded himself with an elite network of business and political leaders, and enjoyed the trappings of great wealth: private jets, mansions, his own island. But much remains unknown about the sources of his wealth.

Epstein's connections to Ghislaine Maxwell need to be explored. Her father, Robert Maxwell, also had a flamboyant lifestyle; he often flew in his helicopter, and sailed in his luxury yacht, the "Lady Ghislaine." In 1991, his body was discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean, having fallen overboard from his yacht. Maxwell's death triggered the collapse of his publishing empire as banks frantically called in huge loans they had foolishly made to him. ....... then news emerged that Maxwell had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from his own companies' pension funds.......thus cheating his loyal employees out of their full pensions.

=======================================

L/E needs to dig deeper---to determine the source of his money and the circuitous route it took, then landed back into his personal coffers. Could have happened like this:

BACKSTORY When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore-----into a labyrinth of financial entities.....all unknown to his investors.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America...... The labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.
