This page is a spin-off from the nearby page about the long list of people associated with Bill and Hillary Clinton who have ended up suddenly dead.  Lately most of the news and commentary related to that topic has focused on Jeffrey Epstein, who was apparently a threat to several powerful people and (ahem) lost his life, one way or another, in a high-security jail in New York.  The official explanation, which hardly anybody pretends to believe, is that Mr. Epstein hanged himself with a bedsheet, while he was supposed to have been constantly monitored by guards and security cameras.  The guards allegedly went to sleep and the cameras allegedly failed at just the right moment.  The staff at the prison were charged with falsifying records about their monitoring duties.  Those charges were later dropped. [Source]  Key documents and surveillance footage have never been released or are said to have disappeared. [Same source]  Many other irregularities surround this case, but it is apparent that Mr. Epstein was playing a high-stakes game with a lot of powerful people and they had him silenced.

Unfortunately, sometimes there are people who know too much, who are then silenced by means of homicide.  For example, Lee H. Oswald, Dorothy Kilgallen, Karen Silkwood, Catherine Cesnik, George de Mohrenschildt, Phil Haney, and Danny Jowenko.  None of those names have any connection to the Clintons, as far as I am aware.

Another fellow who knew too much was Seth Rich.

Barack H. Obama also seems to have known a lot of people who have died suddenly.

Another sordid and unrelated topic -- as far as I can tell -- is the scandal called Pizzagate.  The details of the Pizzagate scandal are too lurid to discuss here, but this scandal was apparently what Andrew Breitbart was working on when he "died suddenly" in March of 2012.

This topic is also unrelated: People Found Dead After Discovering Free Renewable Energy.  This article is somewhat apocryphal, but it shows that people who know too much can't expect to live long.  Not just in Russia or North Korea — here in the U.S.A.

Overview and recap:
'They Knew Everything and Did Nothing': Is This Why the Feds Dithered On Going After Jeffrey Epstein?  He was a terrible human being.  No one is really sad that he's gone, but there are a lot of questions about Jeffrey Epstein and his untimely death.  Was it suicide?  That's the official designation.  I don't think there's anyone in America who isn't suspicious of what happened to the wealthy and connected hedge fund manager who reportedly had tapes of debauchery with prominent individuals.  His "pedophile island" was also reportedly wired for sound.  He had connections to some of the most powerful people on the planet, including the Clintons and members of the British Royal Family.  It's not hard to see how there could be many, MANY people with a vested interest in seeing Epstein dead after his indictment for trafficking underage girls, which was handed down in July of 2019.  On August 10, 2019, he was dead.  Now, he did reportedly attempt suicide before, but the video footage is missing.  He was put on suicide watch, then taken off it before he was found dead in his cell.  Two guards that were supposed to watch him falsified their logs.  In fact, at least eight Bureau of Prisons staffers were instructed not to leave this guy alone but did in the 24 hours leading up to the discovery of his body.  Besides his death, how did this guy operate for years with nothing more than a slap on the wrist?  Epstein was a known creeper for years.  There were mounds of evidence.  They had multiple witnesses.  And the Department of Justice dragged its feet?  Why?

Timely news and commentary:

Kash and Bongino losing trust over Epstein.  This past weekend on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration:  Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.  That was it.  Case closed.  Bongino even said he's "seen the file," as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.  But that's not how this works.  I couldn't tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.  The public doesn't owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive.  In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo's show torpedoed their credibility.  Epstein wasn't just another inmate.  He was a nexus of corruption, intelligence, and elite abuse — someone whose connections spanned elites, presidents, royalty, billionaires, and spies.  His death was either one of the most spectacular security failures in modern history — or something far darker.  And no number of official titles or vague references to secret documents should shut down public scrutiny.  Americans have good reason to be suspicious.  Epstein's death was a hall of mirrors from the start.  There weren't just a few oddities; there was an avalanche of contradictions and red flags.  Yet Bongino and Patel simply want you to trust what they say their eyes saw.  Nope.  Sorry.

Dan Bongino gives his verdict on Jeffrey Epstein's cause of death after reviewing FBI files.  Top brass at the FBI has emphatically declared that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019 was a suicide and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.  FBI deputy director Dan Bongino and director Kash Patel have both concluded Epstein took his own life in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.  "I have reviewed the case.  Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.  There's no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise," Bongino, a former conservative talk radio host, wrote on X.

The Editor says...
[#1] It is somewhat surreal to hear Patel and Bongino declare that it "was a suicide and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise," when everybody else is convinced of the "otherwise."  "There's no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise," he says.  [Emphasis added.]  That sounds like a sentence that was carefully hand-crafted by a deep state lawyer, word by word, to leave a little wiggle room in case the actual truth leaks out, which it eventually will.  Common sense is not courtroom-quality evidence, but the official Epstein story is extremely hard to believe, which may be why a Rasmussen poll showed only 29% of Americans believe the official story.  They don't believe it because it is not believable.  I might believe the official explanation except for the fact that the security cameras quit working at just the right time, and the guards looked the other way for a while (ultimately without punishment), and the deceased Mr. Epstein had a whole list of powerful "clients" that wanted him to die, lest he sing; and even the list of clients is still too sensitive to reveal, years later.  Dr. Cyril Wecht, Dr. Marc Siegel, and Dr. Michael Baden have all said they have their doubts about the suicide, which you can read more about by using your favorite non-Google search engine to hunt for the term, Epstein hyoid bone.  [#2] On the other hand, this might be another red herring for the press to follow while something else is going on behind them, much like Trump's rumored plan to run again in 2028, or the overnight renaming of the Gulf of America.  Maybe it's an outrage trap, to see who squawks the loudest.  You can't be too sure.  But I don't think Epstein killed himself, even if the FBI says so.

What John Bryan Finally Said Out Loud:  The Known Truth About Andrew and Epstein.  On May 7th, 2025, the world was reminded that truth, like decay, is not always announced but uncovered.  James O'Keefe, the tireless provocateur behind O'Keefe Media Group, released the first in what he promises is a series of undercover videos that may very well bury any remaining illusion of innocence Prince Andrew might have once claimed.  The subject of the sting is John Bryan, a figure long-adjacent to the British Royal Family, who during an undercover interview conducted by a reporter he met via a dating app (likely Bumble), confessed what everyone knew:  that Jeffrey Epstein provided underage girls for Prince Andrew to abuse.

Florida Rep. Luna, Task Force Demands AG Pam Bondi Release Full Epstein Files By May 16.  In the wake of the tragic death of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, a Congressional Task Force is demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) release the entirety of its files related to the disgraced financier and sex trafficker by May 16, 2025.  The demand was formalized in a letter sent last week, on May 8, 2025, from the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, led by U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), to Attorney General Pam Bondi.  The letter explicitly calls for the release of all Epstein files with no redactions, except those strictly necessary to protect the personally identifiable information of survivors.

Rep James Comer Says The Epstein Files Have Been Destroyed.  Rep. James Comer Drops Epstein File BOMBSHELL: The Files Have Been Destroyed, Doesn't Think Pam Bondi and Kash Patel Have Them, "I Warned Them."  "They ordered the release.  Haven't been released.  They are in there shredding documents.  The government is involved."  [Video clip]

John Kennedy Asks Kash Patel Point-Blank If Jeffrey Epstein Killed Himself.  Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday about whether convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.  Epstein, who pled guilty to sex charges in 2008, committed suicide while awaiting trial after he was arrested in 2019 on new charges.  Kennedy asked Patel if he would see the release about what happened to Epstein in his lifetime during a hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.  [Advertisement]  "Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?"  Kennedy asked Patel, who responded.  "Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center."  [Video clip]  "Are you going to release all the information about that?"  Kennedy asked in response.  "Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice."

Pam Bondi:  FBI Reviewing Epstein Files, Tens of Thousands of Videos, Hundreds of Victims.  The Jeffrey Epstein saga may be years in the unfolding.  There are hundreds of people involved, perps and victims; some very fancy folks have been implicated, and there is the matter of protecting the victims' privacy to take into account.  But the public also has a right to know what happened, and the Epstein files should be released as soon as the victims' considerations are taken into account.  [Advertisement]  In a press briefing published on C-SPAN, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the FBI is reviewing those files now.  [Tweet with video clip] [...] As AG Bondi points out, there are hundreds of victims, and there are tens of thousands of videos.  This is a heinous crime on an unprecedented level.

Why I Passed on a Jeffrey Epstein Book Deal.  [Scroll down]  Although no one is known to have died on Jeffrey Epstein's plane, the so-called, "Lolita Express," its flight logs hold as much intrigue as the passenger list of the Orient Express.  Many of those who flew with Epstein, a man guilty of unspeakable crimes with uncountable young girls, had reason to wish him dead.  One of them may well have succeeded.  What is undeniable is that Epstein played politics at the highest level.  A generous donor to Democratic causes and candidates, he dirtied the reputations of Republicans as well.  On September 17, 2007, after Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was fired, the new US Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, took over the Epstein case for reasons of political expediency.  His boss, President George W. Bush, had a much cozier relationship with Bill Clinton, whose wife was running for president that same year, 2008, than he had with 2008 Republican nominee, John McCain.  By allowing Attorney General Mukasey to broker Epstein's lenient plea deal and 2008 non-prosecution agreement, US Attorney R. Alex Acosta shouldered the blame for Epstein's continued predations.  In 2019, after Epstein's arrest, Acosta was pressured to resign as Trump's Secretary of Labor.  When Donald Trump became president, mainstream media reignited the Epstein case in an effort to link Trump to Epstein's multiple crimes.  The fact that Trump's friendship with Epstein ended after he publicly cancelled Epstein's Mar-a-Lago membership in 2005 and cut off all relations after his first arrest did not dissuade the industry.  This effort would soon enough boomerang on mass media's Democratic allies.

Epstein files update: 'No specific timeline' for release.  Ready for an update on the Epstein file release from the "most transparent" administration ever?  Yeah, well that "Phase 2", or anything that's actually worth [much] isn't coming — or as Karoline Leavitt said when questioned about progress on that front during a White House press conference:  there's "no specific" timeline, but Pam Bondi the "bulldog" and the DOJ are working "diligently" to see justice served.  The DOJ holdovers that somehow didn't have a problem "serving" at the direction of Merrick Garland and Joe Biden?  The "bulldog" who never went after Epstein in any capacity while she was attorney general for the state of Florida for eight years and his Lolita Express flew from West Palm Beach to his private island (no doubt with sex chattel in tow) who knows how many times?  Consider me skeptical that Leavitt is even remotely correct or honest in her assessment of the situation.  Seems pretty [...] important to get to the bottom of who was buying children for sex from Ghislaine Maxwell, you know, because some of these clients are in the uppermost levels of our government.  I mean, this is perhaps the top priority.

Epstein victim dead, Bondi missing.  Virginia Giuffre is dead, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is nowhere to be found.  The most prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring died by reported suicide in April — despite having previously warned that powerful people wanted her silenced and that she was not suicidal.  Her death has rocked the survivor community, where other victims, like Juliette Rose Bryant, have now come forward expressing fear for their own safety.  And yet, despite overseeing a massive cache of Epstein-related evidence promised to the American people in February, Bondi has gone quiet.  Her failure to act decisively — despite weeks of mounting questions and a public desperate for answers — has become its own scandal.  This moment demands action.  Instead, Bondi has delivered delays.

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre's lawyer casts doubt on her suicide: 'We've got big question marks over it'.  A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre — who killed herself at her home in Australia — has cast doubt on her suicide, insisting, "We've got big question marks over it."  Karrie Louden claimed the 41-year-old mother had shown no sign she wanted to harm herself before she was found dead at her farm in Western Australia last Friday.  "When I got the phone call, I was like, 'Are you joking?'  Because there was no sign that that was something she was considering," the lawyer told the Sun.

Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide at 41 just weeks after saying she 'had days to live'.  Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, took her own life Thursday — just weeks after she made headlines for saying she had "four days to live" following a collision with a bus.  "It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia," the 41-year-old's family said in a statement to NBC News.  "She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking."  First responders found Giuffre unresponsive in her home near Perth, and local authorities said her death is being probed by Major Crime detectives, but the "early indication is the death is not suspicious," the BBC reported.

The Editor says...
If you believe Epstein killed himself, then you probably believe Ms. Giuffre killed herself, too.  I dont.

Virginia Giuffre, prominent Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse survivor, dies by suicide.  Virginia Giuffre, one of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers, has committed suicide, her family said on Friday.  Giuffre, 41, died on Friday in Western Australia state, where she had been living for several years, the family said in an emailed statement.  "Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking.  She was the light that lifted so many survivors," the family statement said.  "Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright.  She will be missed beyond measure."  Western Australia state police said they received a report late on Friday local time that a 41-year-old woman, whom they did not name, died at a residence in Neergabby, a rural area on Perth's outskirts.  Police said first aid was attempted to no avail and that foul play was not suspected.  Giuffre was one of the first people to call for criminal prosecution against Epstein, which he eventually faced.

The Editor says...
To this day, "foul play [is] not suspected," at least by the news media, in the case of Epstein himself.

Woman Who Says She Was Kidnapped By Jeffrey Epstein Says His Victims Are Living In Fear After Virginia Giuffre's Alleged Suicide.  After Virginia Giuffre's reported "suicide", other Epstein survivors are stepping forward, making it clear to the world that they are not suicidal.  Juliette Bryant, who says she was kidnapped by Jeffrey Epstein over two decades ago, claims she met Epstein in Africa while he was with Bill Clinton and is familiar with the Clinton body count.  Bryant also alleges that several Epstein victims have died under suspicious circumstances and believes they are being eliminated one by one over time.  According to Bryant, survivors are now living in fear for their lives, as their warnings continue to be ignored by the mainstream media.  [Video clip]

[The] Bondi DOJ [is] allegedly evading FOIA requests for Epstein documents.  The "most transparent administration ever" is reportedly breaking the law and evading FOIA requests from Judicial Watch for trying to access some of the Jeffrey Epstein documents. [...] This is where it gets interesting though — Judicial Watch isn't suing for the Epstein files themselves that Bondi hasn't yet released, it's suing for "all records of communication" between Bondi and "any other individual or entity" regarding the Epstein files.  Judicial Watch is trying to see what Bondi might be hiding about the botched "release" — recall the giddy "influencers" hyping up a whole lot of old information and covering for Bondi after she said she had all the files on her desk (she in fact did not).  And, it looks like Judicial Watch is being stonewalled[.]

Why Is AG Pam Bondi Refusing To Release The Epstein Client List?  Pam Bondi's Department of Justice rejected four FOIA requests for records tied to Jeffrey Epstein.  One of those requests specifically sought documents revealing the identities of Epstein's clients and associates.  Judicial Watch also sent two separate FOIA requests to the FBI.  This all comes after Bondi claimed in February that the Epstein client list was "sitting on her desk."  [Video clip]

Jeffrey Epstein's Convicted Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell Asks the US Supreme Court To Hear Her Appeal.  Former socialite and convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell is now asking the US Supreme Court to hear her appeal against a 2021 conviction on five counts of aiding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his sexual abuse of young girls. [...] Maxwell is serving her sentence in Tallahassee State Prison, in Florida. [...] A federal appeals judge rejected her appeal last year, saying the Southern District of New York was not bound by the Florida 'sweetheart deal'.

The Spy Story at the Heart of the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal.  As billionaire pedophile and alleged sex-trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein sits in prison, reports have continued to surface about his reported links to intelligence, his financial ties to several companies and "charitable" foundations, and his friendships with the rich and powerful as well as top politicians.  While Part I and Part II of this series, "The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal:  Too Big to Fail," have focused on the widespread nature of sexual blackmail operations in recent American history and their ties to the heights of American political power and the U.S. intelligence community, one key aspect of Epstein's own sex-trafficking and blackmail operation that warrants examination is Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence and his ties to the "informal" pro-Israel philanthropist faction known as "the Mega Group."

FBI Flagship Field Office Reportedly Focused on Epstein Files Over Everything Else.  As promised by Donald Trump, the JFK assassination files were finally released on March 18.  So far, no truly bombshell news has come out of them, but seeing as there were more than 80,000 pages, there are still journalists and interested parties combing through the document drop.  The president also vowed to release the files of the notorious almost-billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Riker's Island jail cell in 2019 in what authorities controversially deemed a suicide.  According to a report by Vanity Fair and a Sunday morning talk show appearance by Attorney General Pam Bondi, attorneys are working overtime in the New York office to prepare for the release of the files:

There is No Epstein List ... But We Got Names.  On February 21, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Epstein client list was "sitting on my desk" for review.  On February 26, she proclaimed on national television that the "Epstein files" would be released the following day: "What you're gonna see tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information."  But when the highly anticipated tranche of documents was released, her words had been much ado about nothing. [...] But then she further tarnished her credibility when she said that now she has a "truckload of evidence" on the Epstein case, and only matters related to "national security" would be redacted from the documents.  So, now she has to explain the nexus between the most prolific child trafficker ever acknowledged by US law enforcement and his ilk of child molesters and national security.  Peanut butter and jelly are two things that readily meld with each other, but I can't say that for child molestation and national security.

Bondi Hammered After Announcing More Redactions to Epstein Docs.  Attorney General Pam Bondi has very little time in which to clean up a mess of her own making.  Moreover, in her only apparent attempt to clean that mess, she made matters worse while raising fresh questions.  In a Monday interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Bondi announced that her office had received thousands of pages of previously withheld evidence pertaining to the late pedophile and accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but, she said, the release of those files to the public would come with new and previously unannounced redactions, prompting outrage on the social media platform X from users already exasperated by an attorney general whom they regard as dishonest and insufficiently urgent.

There isn't an 'Epstein List'.  The consequences of continued inaction extend beyond mere political corruption.  The trafficking of vulnerable women by Epstein and Maxwell represents a profound moral atrocity.  It is vital that legitimacy and trust be restored to institutions like the FBI and DOJ; yet, with the vast majority of Americans suspecting that influential men such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Reid Hoffman have escaped accountability, such trust remains irreparably damaged.  A genuine, transparent investigation could either clear their names if innocent or hold them accountable if guilty.  Justice delayed is, indeed, justice denied; yet worse still is selective justice, where partial accountability masks deeper complicities.  Since the so-called 'Epstein List' doesn't exist, it is misguided to direct our frustration toward Bondi and Patel, who cannot release what was never compiled.  Instead, our energies must encourage them to spearhead a large-scale, independent investigation into the powerful men who have thus far evaded justice.  This fresh investigation must boldly challenge systemic corruption without capitulation to power or political allegiance.

Bondi Reveals FBI Delivered 'Truckload' of Jeffrey Epstein Files, Meanwhile Top Bureau Official Resigns.  Two FBI stories broke Monday, and they very well may be connected.  First, the New York Field Office's top agent, James Dennehy, resigned, claiming that he had been told he'd be fired if he didn't.  Second, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Bureau had dropped off a "truckload" of Jeffrey Epstein files after she'd set a hard deadline for their turnover.  Coincidence?  As we reported, Bondi had promised to deliver the potential bombshell files, which she did to select independent conservative media influencers Thursday, but things didn't necessarily go as planned.  The files were heavily redacted and contained mostly information that had been made public previously.  On that same Thursday, Bondi was notified by a whistleblower that the FBI had not in fact turned over all the documents as they had promised, so she ordered Director Kash Patel to deliver them post-haste.  On Monday evening, she announced on Sean Hannity's Fox News show that now she finally has them.

Cash stash on Epstein evidence list raises questions about whether he was taking blackmail payments.  Cash totalling around $20,000 found in Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan and Virgin Islands homes raise new concerns about whether the late financier was paid as part of a sex-trafficking ring or as hush money for his bold name clientele.  An evidence log of the items the FBI seized from Epstein's Manhattan home and property in the Virgin Islands, released on Thursday for the first time by the Department of Justice, show that agents seized the cash, that had no known purpose.  Previously, members of Congress have raised questions about whether or not Epstein, whose airplane flight logs show had extensive connections with the American and foreign political classes, was engaged in a blackmailing scheme and whether he was working directly with any government.  Epstein also hosted several famous players in finance and investment banking.  Some Epstein accusers alleged that some of the powerful or politically connected individuals associated with him participated in the abuse, but the claims are murky and are, so far, backed by slim evidence.

Why We Haven't Seen the Real Epstein List.  On his Fox News show "Life, Liberty, and Levin," Mark Levin had a compelling discussion with Attorney General Pam Bondi about one of the most scandalous yet suspiciously opaque cases in modern history — the Jeffrey Epstein files. [...] Levin wasted no time driving into the matter, noting that his curiosity about the Epstein client lists is mirrored by countless Americans.  "I think the American people are very curious about who's on this list or these lists," Levin said.  "You have been doggedly trying to get all the information and now we learn, thanks to you, that you've been stonewalled by people in New York.  Do you want to explain that?" [...] Her doubts, it turns out, were entirely justified.  "So I'm going through it and I kept saying there has to be more, there has to be more," Bondi said.  "I'm assured that's it.  Kash asked the same questions, assured there's no more.  Last I found out, you know, this week that a source told me New York, SDNY, they're sitting on thousands of pages of documents regarding Epstein.  Thousands.  Thousands."  Refusing coy political platitudes, Bondi directly threatened accountability for obstructive bureaucrats: "I will find out who withheld it and they will not be working for us anymore."

The Editor says...
Common sense would tell you that Mr. Epstein was rubbed out in a maximum-security prison cell because he knew too much about too many people.  There must be far more information hidden away that hasn't been revealed or even accurately described yet.

Justice or Cover-Up? The FBI, SDNY, and the Epstein Files.  The prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell stands as one of the most enigmatic and unsettling legal cases in recent American history.  What appeared to be an effort to bring accountability to a long-running, elite-backed trafficking operation instead left fundamental questions unanswered, particularly regarding the men Epstein and Maxwell allegedly served.  The handling of this case by the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and the FBI raises disturbing concerns about whether justice was truly the objective — or whether the prosecution was carefully engineered to shield the powerful men who benefitted from Epstein's crimes.

Release of the Epstein Files:  An Analysis.  People are getting confused and for good reason.  SDNY is the US Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York (I do stand by my earlier comments re SDNY).  However, they are ONE among other offices that handled Epstein files.  Another is the FBI's NYO (New York Office).  Are they both hiding the documents? [...] Also, all the Epstein files should be on a system called, Sentinel.  Sentinel houses all documents up to and including Secret files.  Top Secret documents are on a separate system (there need to be checks done there too). Additionally, there is something called "1A envelopes."  These are physically handled, not found in a computer system (meaning, this is where they commonly hide stuff).  You might say, there are always physical files for all investigations.  True.  If there are physical files, these should still be eventually scanned into the system.  If not, they are in 1A envelopes, like the notes we discovered from the deceitful and crooked FBI agents that interviewed me.

The Dog Probably Ate It.  As promised, those Epstein files were released on Thursday — a measly two-hundred pages — to much chagrin and embarrassment for all, since the material turned out to be the same old lists and flight logs that every blogger and his uncle has already put out on the Web for years [...] But then the plot thickened later in the day when AG Bondi said a whistleblower informed her that the New York office of the FBI and their counterparts in the Southern District of NY (Manhattan) DOJ offices were hiding "thousands and thousands" of pages evidence and other stuff (videos? photos?) they had been sitting on for years.  AG Bondi quickly fired off a letter to brand-new FBI Director Kash Patel demanding that the New York FBI office deliver all that stuff to Washington by eight o'clock in the morning today (Friday).  If you were Mr. Patel, rather than waiting until morning, wouldn't you just take a twilight ride up the Jersey Turnpike from Blobville to the Big Apple with an FBI swat team and bust into both the FBI and DOJ offices there... and maybe frog-march a few federal employees onto the street like so many grannies caught praying in front of an abortion mill?

The Epstein Rerun.  After Attorney General Pam Bondi's appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime last night, it looked like that the DOJ was set to release new information related to Jeffrey Epstein:  more information about the victims, more information on potential co-conspirators, etc.  Instead, there was a release of a 200 page binder of old materials — mainly flight logs and Epstein's contacts, and a completely redacted list of Epstein's masseuses.  The highly anticipated "Phase 1" is a rerun.  Even the DOJ admits "the first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government."  Some of it is more redacted than what is already in the public domain. [...] We're a little surprised that AG Bondi didn't look at the FBI's initial production of 200 pages with skepticism.  Even the casual observer would see the red flags.  After all, the DOJ was prosecuting a criminal case against Epstein before committed suicide (allegedly).  It prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell.  Both these cases had volumes of records — thousands and thousands of pages.  And it opened up a grandy jury investigation into other Epstein co-conspirators — which was ongoing while Maxwell was being prosecuted.  Of course the New York FBI Field Office has "thousands and thousands of pages of documents."

This US Army Colonel Just Figured Out How to Nail Every FBI Agent Withholding Epstein Files and Make It Stick.  Finally, on Thursday evening's episode of his show, [Jesse] Watters reviewed the events of the day and suggested that federal officials in New York, including both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, might have deliberately ignored Bondi's order as part of a years-long cover-up motivated by the federal government's insidious connection to Epstein's activities.  If so, then Bondi and Patel have their work cut out for them.  And Schlichter offered one possible solution.  "I suggest @PamBondi direct that every special agent in charge in the FBI certify in writing that every single Epstein document has been supplied to her," Schlichter wrote.  Of course, if a grand FBI conspiracy exists, then the threat of written certification alone probably would not change minds.  Schlichter had an answer for that.  "The certification should go to a selected, senior FBI official outside of Washington DC and New York, so when someone lies, the false statement will have occurred in a venue where a conviction is possible," he added.  "No certification, you're fired.  Time to stop playing these stupid games."

Rogue Agents Are Erasing Epstein Files And Running An Even Bigger Coverup?!  This report delves into what is happening behind the scenes with the coverup of the Epstein case, particularly involving allegations against the Comey family and the Southern District of New York office.  [Video clip]

Pam Bondi 'overpromises' and we still don't have the Epstein files.  Talk about one of the most historic political fumbles in American history.  Promising unprecedented transparency and the long-awaited release of the Epstein files (at least what's still intact at this point), Pam Bondi instead chose to be the ringmaster of an absolute circus.  Now, I didn't expect to actually get any legitimate and incriminating files yesterday, because what's there to trust about a federal attorney general who did absolutely nothing as the Lolita Express flew out of West Palm Beach for eight years (2011-2019) while she held the office of Florida attorney general?  I mean, we knew who Jeffrey Epstein was at least by 2008, as he'd already pled guilty and been convicted for procuring a child for sex.  An attorney general who arranged for George Zimmerman to face a stacked deck as he was viciously prosecuted for an act of self-defense, reveling in the "destructive glory" of the "racial morass" she'd perpetuated?  An attorney general who is for red flag laws?

Trump DOJ: The FBI Is Withholding 'Thousands Of Pages' Of Epstein Files.  The FBI is withholding "thousands of pages of documents" pertaining to the federal government's investigation into deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.  In a Thursday letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi said she initially "requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein" before Patel was sworn into office last Friday.  In response, the agency reportedly forfeited "approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone numbers."  The attorney general noted how she "repeatedly questioned" the FBI about whether the batch "was the full set of documents responsive" to her inquiry, and subsequently claimed she was "repeatedly assured" by the agency the returned records were the "full set of documents."  According to Bondi, however, the FBI wasn't being truthful.  The Trump-appointee contended that a source informed her that the FBI field office in New York "was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein," and that, "[d]espite [her] repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files."

The FBI Swamp Is Deep and Wide, and Flows Through NYC.  Wednesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters, and among the many subjects covered, she announced that the long-promised release of the Jeffrey Epstein list — all of the clients of the most infamous child sex trafficker and conduit for illegal and illicit sex that would have made Caligula blush.  The Boss wrote a great post earlier with the wise counsel of Professor Alan Dershowitz — if you're to release it, release it all.  Don't fall into the trap of cherry-picking what parts you make public and which parts you withhold. [...] Bondi learned yesterday that the New York City field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigations was in possession of thousands of pages of records pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein case, and is just refusing to turn it over to both FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C, and to the Department of Justice.  Bondi discussed this with Director Kash Patel, who was literally sworn in to run the Bureau two days ago.  He had no idea the New York City office had gone rogue.  Regardless, Bondi is not messing around here.

Jeffrey Epstein's 'client list' will be declassified by Trump.  Jeffrey Epstein's 'client list' will be declassified by Presidents Trump's new administration.  On Tuesday, Anna Paulina Luna, a member of Congress appointed by Trump, announced information on the 9/11 attacks, UFOs, the origins of Covid-19, the assassination of President John F Kennedy's assassination, [sic] and Jeffrey Epstein's 'clients' will be declassified.  Luna said, according to The Times, that the federal government "has been hiding information for decades" and "it is time to give Americans the answers they deserve".

Epstein files: 'It's a bigger story than the world has ever known'.  The flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein's private jet read like a who's who of the rich and famous.  The pilots took meticulous records of its many passengers and later testified in court to their veracity.  In one handwritten entry dated March 21, 2002, "Bill Clinton", the former United States president, and "Secret Service" were listed in the ledger.  The following day, it was the supermodel Naomi Campbell.  Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his longtime girlfriend, ran one of the most prolific and widest-reaching sex-trafficking rings in history, flying victims — the youngest of whom was just 14 years old — to Epstein's various homes to be abused by the financier and his circle of friends.

Feds offered Jeffrey Epstein a deal for incriminating dirt on Trump, ex-cellmate says.  Jeffrey Epstein was offered a sweetheart plea deal by federal prosecutors in return for incriminating information that would lead to President Trump's impeachment, according to the late pedophile's cellmate.  Ex-Westchester cop and convicted killer Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's bunkmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan weeks before his death in August 2019, said the disgraced financier dished on the dirt-digging expedition after a confab with the feds. "He said, 'When you were a cop, what do you know about proffers and cooperating?'  I said, 'Jeff, it's pretty simple, the prosecutors, you know, they caught a fish — you.  They're not gonna let that fish off the hook unless you give them a bigger fish,'" recalled Tartaglione in a phone call with Jessica Reed Kraus, a California-based self-described journalist who recorded the conversation and later posted it to her Substack.

A time for truth and reconciliation.  My friend and colleague Eric Weinstein calls the pre-internet custodians of secrets the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC) — the media organisations, bureaucracies, universities and government-funded NGOs that traditionally delimited public conversation.  In hindsight, the internet had already begun our liberation from the DISC prison upon the prison death of financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2019.  Almost half of Americans polled that year mistrusted the official story that he died by suicide, suggesting that DISC had lost total control of the narrative.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Crimes Conviction Is Upheld By Appeals Court.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime accomplice, friend, and lover of deceased pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, had her sex crimes conviction upheld by a federal appeals court in New York on Tuesday.  Maxwell previously tried to argue that she was immune from prosecution due to an agreement that federal prosecutors in Florida arranged with Epstein in 2007.  In a 2016 deposition, Maxwell — the late media magnate Robert Maxwell's daughter — claimed that she had met the wealthy financier, Epstein, in 1991 at a party after a mutual friend introduced her to him.  In March of this year, Maxwell asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to overturn her conviction and 20-year prison sentence for recruiting and grooming underage girls that Epstein and his colleagues went on to sexually abuse.  However, the appeals court decided on Tuesday that her crimes were not covered by the statute of limitations and that Maxwell was not subject to Epstein's agreement.

What happened to all the Jeffrey Epstein evidence?  [Tweet with video clip]

The government's Epstein problem.  The "elite" all have weird excuses for why they were around Jeff Epstein.  Listening to their collective excuses make it seem like Jeffrey had his plane sitting around Davos, Aspen, and East Hampton waiting for celebrities, businessmen and politicians to have plane trouble so he could helpfully give them a lift.  It also seems that everyone who ever met Jeffrey was extremely reluctant to do so, and they all immediately sensed something was "off" about him ... but they rode his plane and were photographed with him ... over and over.  The reluctance to meet or spend time with Jeffrey is the one that gets me.  I don't know much about the uber wealthy, but I do know this; they don't meet with anyone they don't want to meet with. [...] Child abuse is unacceptable.  Secrecy surrounding it is unacceptable.  Government involvement is unacceptable.  They don't get to protect themselves or anyone else.  Jeffrey Epstein isn't the Manhattan Project.  Don't accept government silence on the matter.  And don't consider the matter closed.

Secret Jeffrey Epstein Documents Unsealed Exposing Deep Ties to Bill Clinton.  A batch of secret documents has just been unsealed by a Florida judge that includes transcripts of a 2006 grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.  The judge unexpectedly released the documents on Monday afternoon after they had been sealed for 16 years.  The transcripts delve into allegations of sex trafficking and rape against the late financier, stemming from incidents that initially surfaced in Palm Beach County.  The documents also expose the deep ties between Epstein and former President Bill Clinton, revealing their relationship was much closer than previously claimed.

County Judge Releases Epstein Documents That Were Sealed For 16 Years.  A judge in Palm Beach County unsealed the grand jury records of a 2008 criminal case involving Jeffrey Epstein today, the Miami Herald reported.  The almost 200 pages in records were kept secret for 16 years and include the testimony of at least one girl who accused Epstein of molesting her, according to the outlet.  He was reportedly able to avoid serious charges partly because the then-Palm Beach prosecutor elected to indict him on minor charges of prostitution instead of "charging him with felony sexual assault.  The convicted pedophile was found dead in his cell in 2019 after being rearrested on charges of sex trafficking.  Ghislaine Maxwell — who had an extensive relationship with Epstein — was later convicted on sex trafficking charges.  [Tweet]

New Lawsuit: Jeffrey Epstein Was a Mossad Agent.  A new lawsuit from one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims has alleged what many observers have suspected for years:  that Epstein was an intelligence asset.  Specifically, Monday's lawsuit from an unknown Epstein victim "Jane Doe 200" said that Epstein worked for the Mossad, which is Israel's intelligence service.  "Doe was told that Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was in the Mossad and Doe was led to believe by both Maxwell and Epstein that Epstein was as well, further demonstrating the unique power and connections that Epstein possessed," stated the lawsuit, referring to Ghislaine Maxwell's father, who was also known as "Israel's superspy."

Watch Sen Kennedy Go There, Grilling Wray About Those Important Epstein Names.  FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee in regard to his yearly budget request on Wednesday. [...] I'm thinking that there was one question he didn't think he was going to get.  But Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) went there.  He said they know Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell "were engaged in a conspiracy of sex trafficking with minors." "So were others," Kennedy continued.  "What's the FBI doing to investigate the other people that were involved in these sex trafficking rings?"  [Tweet with video clip]  Wray stammered and said he wasn't sure he could confirm anything.  Kennedy noted that it's been reported that "Jeffrey Epstein had video surveillance in all of his homes and on his private island."  Kennedy said that Epstein "videotaped sex acts with prominent people... with young girls that he had procured," in order to be able to curry favor with them and potentially blackmail them.  "Do you have those tapes?" Kennedy asked.  Wray said he wasn't sure that he could comment on anything.  Which is to say, they still refuse to say they're doing anything.  Chances then that they are doing anything?  Chances of hell freezing over, probably.

Jeffrey Epstein's 'black book' with 221 additional high-profile names is being sold to a secret bidder.  Jeffrey Epstein is going to name names — again.  A mysterious "black book" believed to belong to the late pedophile financier, which revealed the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed people, is going up for auction — and bidders are being assured that their identities will be kept secret.  It could fetch up to $200,000 — or more, the auction house owner told the Daily Beast, which first reported the story.

Jeffrey Epstein's "suicide" likely a cover-up, internal prison files show.  Newly uncovered internal documents from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons suggest that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's alleged "suicide" may not have been what we were all told it was.  Apparently, prison officials colluded with one another to blame the sex predator financier for his own death before an official autopsy had even been performed.  In other words, "suicide" was more cover story than fact.  The Grayzone filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking more information about whether Epstein's alleged first suicide attempt on July 23, 2019, really happened.  The media outlet found that the Bureau did, in fact, distort the nature of what happened prior to an autopsy.  "This meant the narrative of suicide was pushed on the public — to the exclusion of all other explanations — before basic facts were ascertained," The Grayzone explains.

Why Did The U.S. State Department Lease An Upscale New York City Apartment To Disgraced Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein?  There is a strange overlap between the federal government of the United States and "seedy" parties from the billionaire class, the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein being no exception.  During a recent appearance with Jack Posobiec of Human Events Daily, guest Mike Benz explained that Epstein long maintained ties to the Deep State, and was even leased an upscale apartment in New York City by the U.S. State Department.  "There's the strange broker role that Epstein seemed to play in commercial transactions and in the affairs of the billionaire class," Benz stated during the show.  Comparing the situation to that involving Hunter Biden, Benz went on to explain that Epstein, like Hunter, maintained "relationships with large corporations and with very powerful nation-state governments."  They also both lived a "rock and roll lifestyle, high profile, high net worth, deep, deep connections, constantly surrounded by drugs and prostitutes and firearms."

Deconstructing Epstein connections:  Why the sweeping guilt-by-association approach to the doc reveal doesn't work.  Back in 2019 as the feds were closing in on Jeffrey Epstein for a second time, I embarked on a story to debunk a conspiracy theory on why he got off so lightly the first time:  That he was an informant for the government in its crackdown on financial-crisis-related crimes.  By talking with SEC officials, prosecutors and Wall Street executives with knowledge of what the feds were doing after 2008, I had concrete proof it was all BS.  I was ready to write except I had to make one more call — to the convicted sex offender himself.  But how do you get in touch with someone like Epstein?  It's not like he's in the telephone book.  He was then an increasingly reclusive figure hounded by plaintiffs' attorneys representing his victims, and prosecutors who wanted to do what they failed to do the first time:  put him away for life.

Epstein Documents Reveal Accuser Sought Maxwell's Communications With Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing her, sought in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, all of her communications with former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  The Clintons were part of a list of "thirteen specific witnesses" with whom Ms. Giuffre's attorneys sought their communications.  The document is part of dozens containing hundreds of pages of records that were released on Jan. 5, the latest tranche of evidence a judge ordered unsealed.  The 2015, defamation lawsuit was settled in 2017.  Ms. Maxwell is currently serving time in a Florida prison for conspiring with Mr. Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.  Former President Bill Clinton's name was already mentioned in the first tranche of documents released on Jan. 3.  Ms. Giuffre, who in 2011 alleged that President Clinton had a "close personal relationship" with Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Epstein, tried unsuccessfully to have President Clinton deposed, according to an unsealed filing.

Thieves stole computers from offices of Epstein's ex-crisis PR guru the day before unsealed docs were released: cops.  Thieves broke into the Los Angeles offices of Jeffrey Epstein's one-time crisis PR guru and stole work computers — the day before long-sealed court documents related to the convicted pedophile were released to the public, according to cops.  Michael Sitrick, of A-list global crisis PR firm Sitrick & Company, said crooks burglarized his company's offices in a four-story Brentwood building on Jan. 2, but batted down any connection between the break-in and this week's unsealing of nearly 900 documents from a since-settled 2015 defamation suit by alleged Epstein vic Virginia Giuffre.  "There can't be any connection because it makes no sense," Sitrick insisted to The [New York] Post.  Sitrick said the thieves only stole computers that were used by employees in the accounts' payable, and pointed out that other companies' offices in the building were also broken into on Tuesday, he added.

FBI [has] hundreds of 'missing' Jeffrey Epstein documents including tapes, CDs, passports and pictures.  The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of 'missing' pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein's $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates.  Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested.  It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.

Names on a List.  There has been a lot of media excitement about the release of unredacted versions of documents from the ultimately-settled defamation lawsuit that Virginia Giuffre brought against Jeffrey Epstein's friend and collaborator Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.  The release has been done in batches, and news accounts indicate that more than 170 individuals referred to in the documents as "John Doe," etc., have now been identified.  Some casual consumers of news may have the impression that we are talking here about Epstein's "client list," but that is not the case.  I have no idea whether such a list exists.  Rather, these are names that a witness mentioned in a deposition or a document, in some cases in a completely innocent context.  Moreover, no one should assume that anything said in a "court document" is true.  On the contrary.  Witnesses testifying in depositions and authors of emails and memos get many things wrong.  In a deposition, witnesses are specifically permitted to testify to hearsay.  Such testimony is obviously of questionable reliability, apart from its lack of admissibility in court.

Epstein Fixer Office Burglarized, Computer Servers Stolen Hours Before Document Dump.  Epstein fixer Michael Sitrick told Los Angeles Magazine thieves broke into his Brentwood office over the New Year's holiday and stole his computer servers just hours before a tranche of Epstein documents were unsealed and released to the public.  Judge Loretta Preska on Wednesday unsealed the first cache of documents from lawsuits related to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse which potentially included names of over 150 people.  The first set of documents detailed Ghislaine Maxwell's recruiting techniques, Prince Andrew's abuse of the trafficked victims, and Bill Clinton's fondness for "young" girls.  A second cache of Epstein docs was unsealed on Thursday.

The threads that tie the rich and famous to Jeffrey Epstein.  Whether they flew in Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, or were hosted at his Manhattan, Palm Beach or New Mexico homes, the rich and famous surrounded the disgraced American financier and sex offender.  The men and women named in Wednesday's documents form a complicated spider's web of high society brokering, spanning business and politics, entertainment, academia, and even royalty.  While some are accused as potential co-conspirators, not all those named in the 900 pages released by a New York judge are suspected of wrongdoing.

Epstein Bombshell:  Did Bill Clinton Intervene to Protect His Own Reputation?  In a shocking revelation, newly released documents related to the case between Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre and Epstein partner Ghislaine Maxwell have unveiled Bill Clinton's alleged attempt to pressure Vanity Fair magazine not to write about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities.  These documents are causing a stir as they shed further light on the extent of Clinton's ties to Epstein and the measures he may have taken to protect his reputation.  According to the documents, Bill Clinton, referred to as "Doe 36," is mentioned nearly 50 times, although he has consistently denied any involvement in Epstein's criminal activities.  Adding to the mounting evidence, one witness claimed that Epstein had once remarked that "Clinton liked them young," referring to girls.  The new batch of documents, released on Thursday, includes an email from Virginia Giuffre suggesting that Clinton personally went to Vanity Fair in May 2011 and reportedly threatened the magazine to prevent the publication of any articles on Epstein's sex trafficking operations.

Epstein 'Client List' Released — But It's Not Really Epstein's "Client List".  In the lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, accomplice and associate of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, more than 1,000 pages have been unsealed and are said to reveal the identities of more than 150 persons that have been connected to the case of Maxwell vs Virginia Guiffre, along with clients of Epstein.  Of course, the entire Israeli/Mossad honeypot story has, once again, resurfaced, and an interesting assessment that this is not really Epstein's client list.

Take this for what it's worth:
Looks Like Jeffrey Epstein Was A Mossad Asset.  The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.  Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night.  He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff.

Mark Epstein Reveals Inside Info About His Brother's 'Suicide'.  Tucker Carlson on Thursday released his interview with Jeffrey Epstein's only surviving relative — his brother, Mark Epstein.  Noted pedophile of the rich and powerful Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan in August 2019 one week after he supposedly attempted suicide.  Many people don't believe Epstein killed himself in after a number of strange coincidences and inconsistencies were revealed following his death.  Tucker Carlson interviewed Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein.  Mark Epstein refused to appear on camera as Tucker asked him a series of questions related to his brother's death.  Mark Epstein said inside sources told him cell blocks were unlocked the night his brother Jeffrey Epstein died in his prison cell.  He also believes someone was planted to kill Jeffrey Epstein because several prisoners were transferred out the night after Epstein was found dead.  [Tweet with video clip]

Epstein's Brother Tells Tucker 'Nobody Seems To Know' Where Key Evidence Is.  The brother of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein broke down details of the autopsy report with Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on The Tucker Carlson Interview, claiming "nobody seems to know" where a piece of key evidence is.  Epstein's brother, Mark, appeared on Carlson's Twitter show to discuss the alleged suicide of his brother, breaking down key information he has found over the years.  Carlson brought up the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into Epstein's death, questioning Mark on the information from the case. [...] Debate about Epstein's death has circulated online since he was found dead in his New York Metropolitan Correctional Center cell on August 10, 2019. While the deceased pedophile's death was formally ruled by the DOJ as a suicide, Carlson previously pushed back on the ruling.

Jeffrey Epstein Ran Sex Blackmail Operation For Intelligence Agencies, New Evidence Suggests.  The release of new court documents from a lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein yesterday "provided little, if any, new fodder for conspiracy theorists who remain fixated on Mr. Epstein's dealings more than four years after his death," according to the New York Times.  The documents, the Times claimed, reinforced what the public already knew, namely that pedophile financier Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell made young and often underage women available for sex to powerful men.  In fact, the documents offer new evidence and insight into how Epstein and Maxwell appeared to be blackmailing powerful individuals, albeit to mysterious ends.  A judge ordered the release of the court documents, which were from a case brought by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell in 2015.  The parties settled in 2017.  Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.  It's true that some of the information released yesterday had already come to light.  Last April, for example, the Wall Street Journal reported that the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, had scheduled three meetings with Epstein in 2014.

Epstein Documents Dumped Wednesday Night.  Finally, inquiring minds as well as those who want dirt to sling were able to access the Jeffrey Epstein court documents.  Well, that is, supposedly were able to access them.  As of this writing, I couldn't get them to download, due to internet traffic.  But, as I predicted earlier this week, reaction became tribal for those who see everything in a political light.  As I wrote: it all depends on whose ox is being gored.  The two most high-profile names that everyone was looking for were Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.  [Video clip]  Axios notes that while Trump is mentioned in the documents, there's no reference to any improper activity on his part.  Clinton, on the other hand, gets mentioned over 50 times, although at this time there's no evidence of illegality.  Plus, his representatives didn't object to the unsealing.

The Problem with Lies.  Nowadays, we have a plethora of lies that are told knowingly and openly and without shame. [...] Consider Jeffery Epstein.  We can assume that he was running a blackmail scheme on all sorts of prominent people.  He may have done it with cooperation from government, at some level.  He was guilty as hell and the wheels came off when they simply could no longer cover it up.  No one (or few) in the mainstream media are demanding the client list be made public, so apparently some pedophiles are too important to be "under the law."  They can release some names, but rest assured that 90% of the list and the content of the videos will never be known.  Proof?  How many of his employees have testified in front of Congress?

Jeffrey Epstein list:  Court unseals names in Ghislaine Maxwell lawsuit.  Nearly 200 names that had previously been redacted from court documents in a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's former lover and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell have been made public on orders of a federal judge in New York.  U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ordered their release in December but gave the Jane and John Does two weeks in case they wanted to appeal.  The names were unveiled in a series of 40 documents that have been posted to the docket without previous redactions that hid big names including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Clinton's estranged longtime aide Doug Band, Prince Andrew, the late former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and the French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who like Epstein died while awaiting trial.

Explosive doc dump name drops 170 of Epstein's visitors.  The files, which name more than 170 Epstein associates — such as Clinton, former President Donald Trump and Prince Andrew — were ordered released by Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last month and contain a gross accusation of inappropriate touching by the disgraced British royal.  They were filed in a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against the late sicko's madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.

Here Are The 37 Epstein Documents Released Tonight In Their Entirety!  On Wednesday, Judge Loretta Preska confirmed the release of the initial names from Jeffrey Epstein's extensive client list, comprising over 150 individuals.  Concurrently, a collection of previously sealed documents was made public.  Following the release, the Court Listener website experienced a crash due to the overwhelming public interest.  However, The Gateway Pundit managed to secure a backup of this crucial information.  Three individuals, known in the court documents as Doe 105, Doe 107, and Doe 110, have made appeals.  Documents related to Does 105, 107, and 110-110 are being withheld.

Jeffrey Epstein's brother demands NYC prison health records on day of Epstein's death — told by staff they don't exist.  It has been revealed that Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark, attempted to obtain documentation from the night the convicted criminal didn't kill himself, but was told by government employees that the records he sought did not exist.  One of the most important documents, the report written by the emergency medical services team that moved Epstein's body out of his cell at the Manhattan jail, was nowhere to be found on the computer system.  [Tweet]

Bill Clinton Listed in Over 50 Redacted Filings as 'Doe 36' in Epstein Case:  Report.  Former President Bill Clinton is expected to be named along with over 150 others in previously sealed court documents from the Virginia Giuffre lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking ring.  [Tweet]  According to ABC News, Clinton is named "Doe 36" and appeared in over 50 redacted court filings in the case.  In 2016, Giuffre's legal team attempted to subpoena Clinton for deposition testimony.  They stated that this was "highly relevant" and "important to the fundamental claims and defenses."

Bill Clinton Is Doe 36 in the Epstein Papers.  Hundreds of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein are set to be made public this week, and several prominent names — including Britain's Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton — are expected to appear in the documents, reports ABC News.  Judge Loretta Preska has ordered the Epstein information to be released.  Several reports indicate that Clinton will be named.  We know that he did fly on Epstein's private jet several times.  During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Larry Visoski said that during the years he flew Epstein's private jet, Bill Clinton was a passenger.

Jeffrey Epstein Associates: 8 'John Does' Won't Be Named in Upcoming Evidence Release After Pleading With Court.  A mysterious group of eight high-profile Jeffrey Epstein associates are MISSING from the roster of 177 names expected to be released by a federal judge next year, a RadarOnline.com investigation has exclusively learned.  It is unknown why the eight vanished from the list, but court records examined by RadarOnline.com showed the missing eight — known as Doe's # 12, 28, 97, 107, 144, 147, 171, and 183 — filed court documents in a desperate attempt to remain anonymous in the scandalous case.  Their efforts were laid bare in a 2022 court document seeking to unearth their names five years after the now-settled federal lawsuit filed by victim Virginia L. Giuffre against Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

It's a Christmas nightmare for men who were friends with Jeffrey Epstein.  There are many countdowns associated with the festive season that encourage us to reflect upon and embrace its values.  In Advent we mark the days and weeks before Christmas with spirituality or cheap chocolate; the 12 days leading up to Twelfth Night are an invitation to throw off normal cares and self-consciousness to celebrate with friends and family.  And for the end of 2023 only, there has been a new countdown:  a 14-day ticking clock that could not be better designed to torture the souls of any high-profile man worried about their hitherto secret associations with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Do Not Apologize.  Do not apologize for asking where Epstein's client list is.  Do not apologize for wondering if many Republicans are being blackmailed in D.C. because of Epstein, his client list, and flying on the Lolita Express.  Do not apologize for believing that San Francisco is getting exactly what it deserves.  Do not apologize for stating that blue cities are crumbling and falling apart because of the bad seeds that they themselves have sown.  Do not apologize for now believing that Hillary's Pizzagate could be real.  Do not apologize for being suspicious about where these thousands of unaccompanied children have disappeared to.

The Truth about the Jeffrey Epstein John Does.  There is a certain level of difficulty in reporting on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell saga, much of it having to do with what the authorities haven't revealed: the web of Epstein's network (much of it still secret), the ties to intelligence (of which documentary evidence is still hidden from public view), the internal deliberations that went on at Main Justice in Washington, D.C. when Epstein got his sweetheart plea deal (again, not yet publicized).  Add to that the false media reports and blatantly inaccurate social media posts that spring up every time there's any small development in any Epstein or Maxwell case.  Like today, for example.  The Daily Mail led the way, reporting that a federal judge "has ruled to unseal documents that would name 177 Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters and victims within the coming weeks." This was followed by a flurry of social media takes — especially on Twitter — promising there will be serious revelations from these records or claims that "177 Jeffrey Epstein high profile associates will be revealed in the new year."  There's a problem with that sensationalism: it's inaccurate.

A lot of people with ties to Epstein are very nervous right now.  A federal district court judge has ordered that documents containing the names of more than 150 Jeffrey Epstein "associates" must be released after January 1.  However, before getting too excited, there are some caveats.  Overall, though, this does rank as a good thing.  In 2015, Virginia Guiffre sued Epstein's procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, alleging that Maxwell facilitated Guiffre's sexual exploitation at Epstein's hands.  The two of them settled in 2017.  Since then, there's been a push to "un-redact" existing documents that identify people "associated" with Jeffrey Epstein but who were named only as "John Doe" or "Jane Doe."  In addition, there are apparently documents that were filed under seal and never released at all.  Judge Loretta Preska, a United States District Judge in the Southern District of New York and a George H. W. Bush appointee, has now issued an order mandating that the names must be unsealed.

Judge Drops Massive Epstein Ruling:  Over 170 Names Must Be Unsealed.  This is going to be name-dropping for the ages — but it's only a start.  A federal judge on Monday ruled that the names of those associated with convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstsein that have been under seal since his 2019 death must be made public, according to news reports.  Meanwhile, a Republican congressman went public the same day with an accusation that some of his "colleagues" have been "compromised in this area."  According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, a publication that has followed the Epstein case closely because of its British ties, the names are part of documents associated with a now-settled defamation case between Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts-Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former lover and procurer.

When the logs are finally released, I expect NASA to find life on Mars later that day.
We May Be One Step Closer to Seeing Jeffrey Epstein's Flight Logs.  I'm sure many of us have given up on the idea that the flight logs to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's private island will ever see the light of day because of the powerful people whose names are allegedly on the list.  Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has received a request to subpoena Epstein's flight logs.  "As you are aware, there have been unanswered questions surrounding the sex trafficking ring spearheaded by the late Jeffrey Epstein.  We know that Epstein and his associates engaged in child sex trafficking to the rich and powerful elite from around the globe.  Many of Epstein's clients are alleged to be some of America's most powerful and well-known people," Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) wrote in a letter to Comer dated Monday.

Ghislaine Maxwell [has been] sued AGAIN, this time by an alleged victim.  Ghislaine Maxwell has just been slapped with another lawsuit while behind bars.  The new lawsuit was filed on behalf of an alleged victim who came forward with her story during Maxwell's criminal trial in 2021 and claimed that Maxwell and the now-deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein abused her, leading her to need to get an abortion.  "Elizabeth Stein also read an impact statement at the heiress's sentencing, sharing that she was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and an intern at the now-defunct Henri Bendel department store in the 1990s when Maxwell lured her into Epstein's trafficking ring," the report by the Daily Beast noted.

An MMA fighter asks the right question about Epstein's clients.  [Scroll down]  The apparent rule of thumb, as was the case in England, is that you only "out" famous pedophiles and their confederates when they're dead.  That governments across the West refuse to move against these pedophiles is concerning at more than the obvious level.  The obvious level is that these people committed heinous crimes, both in terms of manmade and moral law, and they should be punished for having done so.  Justice demands that.  However, there's something even more problematic going on here, and it speaks to who's doing what in our government.  Given the refusal to act against these pedophiles, there are only two possible conclusions.  The first is that our government is controlled by completely evil human beings who will, naturally, never turn on themselves.  When you look at Biden's hair-sniffing and groping proclivities, it's very easy to believe this to be true.  The second disturbing hypothesis is that the Deep State, rather than using the Epstein information to achieve justice, is using it to control people.

Lizard King?  Philanthropath?  Genocidal Maniac?  [Scroll down]  While Epstein's sexual activities have received 90% of the attention, his activities during the last years of the Clinton administration are the more significant.  First of all, Epstein was running an entrapment scheme for various covert agencies, which made his insinuation into government easy.  At the same time, he taught high-level government officials, cabinet ministers, heads of agencies, and the great larcenous dame herself, Hillary Clinton, how to steal.  It was a pincer movement.  Having second thoughts?  Here's a video of your encounter with a fourteen year old.

Bill Gates Business Associates Reach Combined $365 Million Settlement with Jeffrey Epstein's Victims.  On Thursday, a federal judge approved the $290 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought by the sex abuse victims of Epstein against JPMorgan Chase — a close mutual business associate of both Gates and Epstein.  Over this past year, JPMorgan has agreed to pay an additional $75 million — for a combined total of $365 million — to settle another lawsuit relating to its established banking relationship with Epstein.  The suits revealed that JPMorgan facilitated approximately $1 billion in transfers for Epstein which the bank admitted were "human trafficking" related.  Gates's relationship with Epstein has been widely known and was even cited by Gates's ex-wife, Melinda, in the couple's 2021 divorce proceedings.  Bill Gates has denied having any involvement in Epstein's crimes.  Gates and Epstein's mutual associates, James E. "Jes" Staley and JPMorgan Chase, were central to Gates's relationship with Epstein.

What a lucky break!  What an amazing coincidence!
Maxwell Believes Her Chances of Walking Free Just Increased 'Significantly': Report.  Ghislaine Maxwell thinks she may now have an edge in her case to overturn her prison sentence, according to anonymous sources.  Maxwell, the longtime confidant and right-hand woman of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was handed a 20-year prison term after she was convicted on child sex trafficking charges back in 2021.  But the 61-year-old former British socialite has been buoyed by the death of one of the four victims whose testimony was central to her conviction.  Carolyn Andriano, who was trafficked by Epstein starting when she was only 14 years old, was found dead in a hotel room in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 23, according to USA Today.  Her death was only announced last month.

Epstein Victim Who Testified Against Ghislaine Maxwell Has Died.  Carolyn Andriano, a victim of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein whose testimony was crucial to putting away his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, has died.  There was no obituary or funeral service after she died earlier this year, and police in West Palm Beach, Florida, opened an investigation into her death.  After The Daily Beast reached out for comment, police spokesman Mike Jachles told us that the investigation was concluding and that Carolyn died of an accidental overdose.  The 36-year-old mother-of-five had planned to start a new chapter in North Carolina, at a new house with a fireplace and half-acre lot with a chicken coop.  Carolyn and her husband, John Pitts, had purchased the property just weeks before she was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel room on May 23.

Will We Ever Know Why Leon Black Paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 Million?  Leon Black, the billionaire co-founder of private-equity giant Apollo Global Management and close personal associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has never been charged with or convicted of a crime.  He has, however, been accused of things that are potentially criminal.  Since 2021, the year that he stepped down from Apollo, three women have accused him of rape stemming from his relationship with Epstein.  (One of those suits was dismissed with prejudice in May after it came out that, among other things, flight logs showed that her trafficking accusations were impossible.  Black denies the allegations from the two other women, and has raised serious questions about their validity.)  What we know about what actually happened is far murkier.  Black has said that Epstein gave him tax and estate-planning advice, for which he was paid $158 million from 2012 to 2018, according to an audit — far above what those services are typically worth.  Black traveled with Epstein a few times, including once taking his family to the dead child trafficker's private island.

A JPMorgan Court Filing Shows Another Bank Exec Visited Jeffrey Epstein's Residences 13 Times.  JPMorgan Chase is in a protracted legal battle in a federal district court in Manhattan over highly credible allegations that it "actively participated" in Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking of minors.  The lawsuit has been brought against JPMorgan Chase by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands where Epstein owned a private island compound that was a frequent venue of the sex trafficking operation.  Part of the bank's damage control strategy has been to sue one of its former top executives, Jes Staley, making him a third-party defendant in the same case, and attempting to convince the Judge and the media that Staley is mainly responsible for the bank keeping sex trafficker Epstein as a client for more than 15 years (and perhaps as long as 28 years).

Will Jeffrey Epstein's Sex-Trafficking Clients Be Named?  For those who think the truth about the crime and slime associated with Jeffrey Epstein has been deep-sixed down the memory hole, there may be another bite at this rotten apple.  Mimi Lui, an attorney representing the U.S. Virgin Islands, has filed suit in federal court against JPMorgan Chase.  Lui charged that over $1 billion in suspicious transactions have been reported to the U.S. Treasury since Epstein's death and that JPMorgan Chase ignored sex-trafficking red flags over many years, thus enabling these crimes.  The case will go to trial on October 23 unless a settlement is reached.

Time To Name The Clients:  JPMorgan Flagged Over $1 Billion In Suspicious Epstein Transfers.  JPMorgan flagged over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which the bank reported to the US government, the US Virgin Islands has claimed in its lawsuit against the bank.  "JPMorgan was a full-service bank for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking," said Mimi Liu, an attorney for the USVI, which says the enormous sum bolsters key allegations in their legal action against the bank, which they say knowingly benefited from Epstein's wrongdoing, Bloomberg reports, noting that this is the first time in the case that the 'sheer volume of Epstein's financial activity at JPMorgan over a 16-year period has been disclosed.'  The suspicious activity was detailed in a 2019 filing to the US Department of Treasury, a USVI attorney told a federal court in Manhattan on Thursday.  The filing was made after Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.  Epstein had been with the bank from the late 1990s through 2013, when they finally cut ties with him.  [Tweet]

Mysterious, Newly-Registered LLC Purchases Jeffrey Epstein's 'Baby-Making' New Mexico Ranch.  Jeffrey Epstein's high-desert New Mexico property, known as the 'Zorro Ranch,' sold for an undisclosed price to a newly registered company.  According to Albuquerque television station KRQE, the ranch was listed for sale for $27.5 million.  Documents obtained by KRQE confirmed the "change of ownership from Cypress Inc. to San Rafael Ranch, LLC."  "An attorney for Epstein's estate, Daniel Weiner, confirmed Tuesday that the ranch had been sold for an undisclosed price, and the proceeds would be used to administer the estate and pay creditors," ABC News reports.  It's unknown who's behind San Rafael Ranch LLC.

Jeffrey Epstein helped JPMorgan land Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his $4B in investments as client: lawsuit.  Jeffrey Epstein brought a slew of deep-pocketed clients to JPMorgan Chase — including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who became one of the bank's biggest clients with investments worth more than $4 billion, according to court papers.  A bombshell legal filing in the US Southern District of New York late Monday revealed that "Brin became a client of JPMorgan's San Francisco Private Bank in 2004" — one year after Epstein introduced Brin to Jes Staley, a former executive at JPMorgan.  "The overall Brin relationship is one of the largest in the Private Bank, of +$4BN," wrote banker Robert A. Keller in a memo, who the documents claim was introduced to Epstein by Staley.

Somebody must have hit a nerve.
Congressman Turned Child Sex Offender Anthony Weiner Freaks Out When Asked About the 'Clinton Body Count'.  Disgraced former congressman turned child sex offender Anthony Weiner had a liberal meltdown during a podcast when he was asked about rumors that the Clinton family has a "body count."  Patrick Bet-David questioned Weiner about a so-called "conspiracy theory" that alleges people with ties to former President Bill Clinton and his twice-failed presidential candidate wife, Hillary Clinton, end up dead.  "How is it that the reputation that follows [the Clintons] is people close to them die?" The host asked.  Wiener immediately tried to dodge the question, growing tense before the conversation became a screaming match.  The Democrat said that the Clintons are now in their seventies, arguing that older people naturally lose people they once knew.  "How come they haven't done that with Bush?  He's the same age."  David-Bet pressed.  "How come they haven't done that with Trump?  How come they haven't done that with Reagan?"

Joe Rogan suggests Bill Clinton was blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein!  [Video clip only.]

Epstein's Sick Private List of High Profile Names [was] Just Released.  Today, The DailyMail.com published a substantial compilation of Jeffrey Epstein's personal calendars and communications, providing an unprecedented glimpse at the late pedophile's remarkable network of influence.  Among the revelations is that financier Epstein frequently dined with magician David Blaine and appeared to have intimate knowledge of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda.  The hundreds of pages of documents also contain the names of presidents, prime ministers, monarchs, and other prominent figures who were not previously associated with Epstein.

LinkedIn Co-Founder and Epstein Island Visitor Reid Hoffman Donates $700,000 to Biden Campaign.  LinkedIn co-founder and noted visitor to Jeffrey Epstein's infamous island Reid Hoffman has recently donated $699,600 to President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, a move that has sparked controversy due to Hoffman's past political scandals and associations.  The New York Post reports that Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn and a well-known woke billionaire, has recently made a contribution of $699,600 to President Joe Biden's reelection campaign.  Hoffman's political activities have been a subject of scrutiny for quite some time.

Forensic Pathologist Slams Dept.  Of Justice Report on Jeffrey Epstein's Death — 'They Didn't Contact Me!'.  Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden slammed a four-year Department of Justice report examining the prison death of Jeffery Epstein — calling its finding "ridiculous" for ignoring the clear-cut evidence of a homicide, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.  The DOJ's Inspector General's 128-page report concluded the August 2019 death of the billionaire sex trafficker was the result of "negligence and misconduct" by jail guards who failed to monitor the convicted pedophile.  But Dr. Baden, who has investigated hundreds of prison suicides over his 50-year career as the pathologist for the New York State Correction Medical Review Board that monitors ALL prison deaths, told RadarOnline.com, "They didn't contact me at all" even though he was in autopsy room!

Jeffrey Epstein's unsupervised, unfilmed death while in federal custody was totally a suicide, feds declare.  This is literally the most believable, least suspicious conclusion ever reached in the history of human civilization:  [Tweet] [...] Yeah we totally believe you guys.  A super high-profile prisoner in federal custody just happened to manage to evade the amped-up supervision of his 24/7 guards and hang himself with sheets he never should have gotten in the first place.  Mm hmm.

JPMorgan agrees to settle Jeffrey Epstein victim class action lawsuit.  JPMorgan Chase has reached an agreement to settle a lawsuit from victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the bank announced Monday [6/12/2023].  The financial institution has yet to release details regarding the "agreement in principle," but it will shell out $290 million in payments to the victims, according a Reuters report.  JPMorgan had been attempting to fend off the class action lawsuit for months.  "Settlement is in the best interests of all parties, especially the survivors who were the victims of Epstein's terrible abuse," the bank and lawyers for the victims wrote in a joint statement.

Jeffrey Epstein sent letter to fellow pedo Larry Nassar from prison before suicide — but he never got it: documents.  Shortly before he hanged himself in his Manhattan jail cell, Jeffrey Epstein penned a letter from behind bars to another high-profile pedophile, Larry Nassar — but the note was never received by the disgraced US gymnastics team doctor.  The shocking development was included in 4,000 pages of documents obtained Thursday by the Associated Press that also offered an updated glimpse into Epstein's declining mental health during his 36-day stint at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.  Epstein's unopened letter to Nassar, who spent decades sexually abusing young girls, was discovered in the mail room of the since-shuttered lockup with a "return to sender" notice weeks after his suicide[.]

Ghislaine Maxwell fears retaliation in prison after snitching on two violent inmates: report.  The old adage "snitches get stitches" reportedly has convicted sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell living in fear of retaliation in prison after she snitched on two violent inmates who tried to extort her.  The two Cuban women were placed in solitary confinement for 47 days after the 61-year-old madam reported them to authorities at her Florida federal prison for demanding items from her commissary, a source at the prison told the Daily Mail.  Now, the sex trafficker is shaking in her prison boots because the women have been released back into the general population at low-security FCI Tallahassee, according to the outlet.  Maxwell, who has been at the facility since July 2022, is apparently so terrified of retaliation that she's refusing to use showers where she fears she could be physically attacked.

Democrat Congresswoman Went to Jeffrey Epstein's Home.  A U.S. congresswoman went to Jeffrey Epstein's home in 2018, within a year of his being arrested on charges of child sex trafficking.  Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) went to Epstein's townhouse in September 2018, she acknowledged during a deposition this month.  "I recall going to the address, ringing the bell ... someone opening the door," Plaskett said as she answered questions under oath on May 8.  "He was sitting at a very long table having a conversation with another gentleman," Plaskett added later.  That man left, and Plaskett sat down and spoke to Epstein for a period of time that she said was less than one hour.  They spoke about "Virgin Islands' politics, national politics, campaign contributions," according to Plaskett.

Bottom Line On Epstein.  Nobody has explained how Epstein made his money.  He had a lot of it; you don't buy an island and outfit it, never mind a nice big jet aircraft which is expensive to buy and also very expensive to maintain, fuel and staff without some source of income.  We all know, for example, how Elon Musk got his money.  And Bernie Ebbers.  And Ken Lay.  And any one of myriad other very wealthy people.  Whether ultimately it was discovered they were doing foul things or not the fact is that it was trivially easy to know exactly how they made their money, in the main.  Except for Epstein.  Therefore, by simple deduction, Epstein got his money because someone, or a group, were paying him and had the means to hide it from ordinary, routine surveillance that "outs" everyone else.  That in turn means one or more governments were doing it and none of them who had actual knowledge were adversarial to the others. [...] Since the activities took place in and around the United States it is also therefore clear that one of the funding conduits was one or more agencies of and in the United States.  There may be others but our government was one of them.

Confirmed: Jeffrey Epstein's History as an FBI Source.  Back in 2007, the Department of Justice gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal that deferred prosecuting Epstein for federal offenses — including the interstate sex trafficking of minors and recruiting minors to engage in commercial sex acts — in exchange for Epstein pleading guilty to Florida state-level solicitation of prostitution and procurement charges.  The deal was shocking in both its timing and scope.  It was made before the FBI had interviewed all of Epstein's victims and before the FBI had seized Epstein's computers.  It immunized Epstein's known and unknown co-conspirators who were credibly accused of trafficking and abusing minors, a rare and troubling agreement you will not find in any other federal non-prosecution agreement:  "if Epstein successfully fulfills all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova."  And it implicated both the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida (Alex Acosta) and Main Justice in Washington, D.C., which approved of the plea deal, delayed the grand jury, and stopped victims from being notified of the agreement in violation of federal law.

Jeffrey Epstein Meet With CIA Boss Under Obama Before Not Killing Himself.  The list of Jeffrey Epstein's possible connections now includes America's spy chief, a college president and a former Obama White House counsel, according to a collection of previously unreported documents that included the convicted sex offender's schedules.  The trove of papers, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, shows meetings between Epstein and several prominent people, including three with William Burns, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, when he was the deputy secretary of state in 2014.  These prominent people have not been accused of any wrongdoing, and have all maintained that their connections with Epstein were purely professional or social.

Surprise: Epstein was meeting with a much larger circle of the rich and powerful than you were told.  Everybody already knows that the famous Jeffrey Epstein client list has not been and never will be released.  The names on that list are too prominent, I assume, and nobody wants that particular bomb to explode.  The collateral damage would be immense.  But we have gotten bits and pieces of information over the years about his associates — people who were in Epstein's social circle but who may or may not have been his clients.  We have no evidence upon which to base accusations of that nature.  Bill Gates is the most prominent example, as well as seemingly the entire faculty of Harvard, where Epstein hobnobbed with seemingly everybody, and where he even was given an office.  Yes, Jeffrey Epstein had an office at Harvard.  After all, he showered the place with money, despite it never being quite clear exactly what he did.  He had some vague "financial" job, advising clients.  Every time he worked for somebody else the firm wound up in legal trouble or imploded, but he failed upwards for some reason.  I wonder what that was.

Biden, Obama Official Had Private Meetings With Epstein After Sex Crime Convictions.  Jeffry Epstein's private calendar reveals an official who served under the Obama and Biden Administrations had close ties to the convicted late sex offender.  William Burns, who became the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director during the Biden administration, also a college president and attorney who served with former President Barack Obama, had scheduled meetings with Epstein several times after the pedophile was convicted of child sex crimes.  Three scheduled meetings were slated to occur after Epstein was jailed in 2008 in Washington D.C. and Epstein's townhome in Manhattan, New York.  However, it is unclear if each scheduled meeting took place or the purpose of the sessions.  A CIA spokesperson claimed Burns had met with Epstein because, in 2014, the director wanted to leave his current government position.

Epstein's VERY tangled web.  Jeffrey Epstein's newly-released private calendar revealed he had scheduled meetings with a slew of prominent individuals, including the current CIA director, after he was convicted as a sex offender.  The documents contain emails and scheduled meetings with now-CIA Director William Burns, Bard College president Leon Botstein, Obama's White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and professor Noam Chomsky.  The meetings were scheduled between 2013 to 2017 after the pedophile had served time in jail in 2008 for sex crimes involving a teenage girl.

Epstein's private calendar reveals planned meetings with Obama admin official, CIA chief.  Jeffrey Epstein's newly-revealed private calendar showed scheduled meetings with the current CIA director, a college president and attorney who served in the Obama administration, according to a report published Sunday.  New documents, which belonged to the rich convicted pedophile and were obtained by The Wall Street Journal, showed planned meetings with a slew of prominent individuals, including now-CIA Director William Burns, Bard College president Leon Botstein, Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and professor Noam Chomsky.  All the scheduled meetings were slated to take place after Epstein was jailed in 2008 on charges of solicitation, including soliciting a minor.  WSJ could not prove each scheduled meeting actually took place, and the documents did not reveal the purpose for the meetings.

Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?  It is great fun to joke about how the Clintons must be the force behind the suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein in his New York City jail cell in 2019, but after the bombshell story published this morning in the Wall Street Journal about heretofore unknown close connections Epstein had we're moved to ask:  who didn't have a motive for wanting him gone? [...] Here are a few highlights and surprises from the story:  Epstein had several meetings starting in 2014 with William Burns, then a State Department career foreign service officer who is now the head of the CIA under President Biden.  Supposedly Epstein was giving Burns "advice" on private sector prospects.  They were introduced by a "mutual friend" that the Journal does not identify.  Maybe a congressional committee should ask the sitting CIA director in a public hearing for more details.

Epstein, vaccine mandates, and Chinese spy balloons.  Trust in institutions has never been lower.  Every poll shows this.  Your conversations with friends and family reveals this. [...] No one believes Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, and surely those who plotted his "suicide" anticipated this.  They didn't care.  The public complained, trust was lowered, and in the end it doesn't even matter. [...] Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.  The FBI and DOJ mopped up the crime scenes and we will never know who would have been implicated.

Former NY cop, ex-Epstein cellmate, faces quadruple murder trial after bodies [were] found buried at his home.  The quadruple murder trial against an ex-cop, who shared a cell with Jeffrey Epstein, begins this week after four bodies were found buried in the backyard of his New York home in 2016.  Nicholas Tartaglione, 55, was allegedly selling cocaine, steroids and other drugs after his 2008 retirement from law enforcement when he accused one of his associates, Martin Luna, of stealing more than $200,000 from him, federal prosecutors allege.  On April 11, 2016, Tartaglione allegedly lured Luna to a bar in Orange County, New York, where Luna was accompanied by his nephew, Miguel Luna; his niece's fiancé, Urbano Santiago; and a family friend, Hector Gutierrez. [...] Tartaglione faces life in prison, if convicted, although prosecutors initially intended on seeking the death penalty against him.  Last year, Attorney General Merrick Garland reversed that decision.  Tartaglione's case went from an alleged, grisly drug-related quadruple homicide in lower New York state to national news when he became cellmates with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.  On July 23, 2019, Epstein was found in his prison cell semi-conscious and balled up in the fetal position with marks on his neck, and there were accusations that Tartaglione "roughed him up."

Will Ghislaine Maxwell get a new trial?  Like many people, I foolishly thought that we had heard the last of disgraced sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell for at least the next twenty years. (Barring some sort of early release deal.) Maxwell was convicted of trafficking women and even underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein after his "tragic suicide" in a prison cell in August of 2019.  In June of last year, she was sentenced to two decades behind bars.  But now her attorneys have filed a lengthy appeal, asking for that conviction to be thrown out and their client to be released.

Discovery Made Near Dead Body of Epstein-Linked Clinton Advisor That Directly Contradicts Initial Report.  New documents have been released concerning the May 2022 death of former Clinton aide Mark Middleton.  Middleton's family had fought to prevent the release of the police report of his death and succeeded in having photos of the scene held back, according to the Daily Mail, which had sought to have the information released.  Middleton has a potential connection to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because on seven of Epstein's 17 visits to the Clinton White House between 1993 to 1995, he was signed in by Middleton, according to the New York Post.  Middleton has also been named as a possible passenger on Epstein's private jet.  The initial documents released said that Middleton, whose death was declared a suicide, was found hanging from a tree on his Arkansas ranch with an electrical wire around his neck and a gunshot wound in his chest, but no gun was found.  That all changed when another set of documents was released, according to the Daily Mail.  The new documents said that a Stoeger 12-gauge shotgun was found about 30 feet from Middleton's body.

The Editor says...
Are you familiar with the term, "throw-down gun?"  The time to plant a gun at a crime scene is at the outset of the whitewash / coverup / investigation, not a couple of days after the official cause of death is announced.  Also, if you're going to plant a 12-gauge shotgun near the body, and claim it was suicide, the shotgun should be a little closer than 30 feet away.

Arkansas cops rule suicide in death of Clinton aide linked to Jeffrey Epstein.  The grisly scene where a top Bill Clinton adviser was found hanged from a tree with a gunshot wound to his chest has finally been revealed nine months after he died.  But the sheriff's report into Mark Middleton's mysterious death raises more questions than answers as it rules he died by suicide — despite no sign of the weapon that killed him.  Middleton, 59, was found dead last May at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, an hour west of Little Rock.

Tucker Carlson eviscerates Department of Justice coverup of Jeffrey Epstein's death.  It's been long enough since the highly suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein in the federal lockup in Manhattan that the very popular meme "Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself" is no longer as pervasive as it once was.  But in the interim, the coverup has continued and deepened.  Kudos to Tucker Carlson for using the opening segment of his show last night, the highest-rated cable news program, to go over the insulting propositions that federal officials, notably including former AG William Barr, have tried to get the public to accept.  Tucker dryly noted that Barr did not accept an invitation to appear on the show to respond.  A considerable swath of the power elite of the Western world apparently was incriminated and being blackmailed by Epstein's honey traps, and in my opinion, that is why he was murdered.  In other words, his death is the lodestone of the corruption of our age.  [Video clip]

Tucker Carlson Asks Questions About Jeffrey Epstein's Death in Prison, Bill Barr's Explanations Don't Add Up.  For his opening monologue tonight, Fox New host Tucker Carlson asks questions about the death of Jeffrey Epstein in question.  Carlson walks through the series of events and comments by then Attorney General Bill Barr that no longer seem to add up.  [Video clip]  Mr. Carlson has been asking a lot of uncomfortable questions lately.

Ghislaine Maxwell is hosting Etiquette Classes for inmates where she also preaches about women's empowerment and 'maintaining high moral standards'.  Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is hosting etiquette classes for inmates at her Florida prison as she tries to reinvent herself as a female role model, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.  The disgraced socialite, 52, is serving a 20-year sentence for procuring girls for her late pedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein to degrade and abuse.  But that hasn't stopped Maxwell from preaching about women's empowerment and the need to 'maintain high moral standards' in the twice-weekly sessions for up to 40 cons.

US Virgin Islands district attorney fired days after suing JP Morgan Chase over Jeffrey Epstein ties.  The US Virgin Islands' top prosecutor has lost her job days after filing a lawsuit accusing financial giant JP Morgan Chase of turning a "blind eye" to Jeffrey Epstein's multi-decade sex trafficking operation.  Attorney General Denise George filed a lawsuit in Manhattan last week alleging that the Wall St giant "provided and pulled the levers through which recruiters and victims" of Epstein's offending were paid in the court filing, according to Bloomberg.  On New Year's Eve, Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan confirmed to several news outlets on the island that Ms George had been removed from her role amid reports he had been blindsided by the lawsuit.

Maxwell Docs Unsealed: Epstein Victim Claims She Has Epstein's Blackmail Videos That Expose Wealthy Elite.  A New York Federal court on Monday released more documents regarding Ghislaine Maxwell's defamation lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.  Most of the documents as you would expect were heavily redacted when it comes to revealing names of the wealthy elite who were Epstein's associates but what did come to light was a deposition by Epstein victim Sarah Ransome.  In Ransome's deposition she claimed that Epstein did make blackmail sex tapes of his elite friends and would go on to state she even has copies of the tapes.

A Grand Unified Theory of the FTX Disaster.  So far as I can tell, everyone has this story wrong.  Many people put together some frame of the puzzle just fine, but this can be a dangerous distraction, so I'd like to take a shot at sorting it out. [...] Now, if you're thinking this is just a story of a bunch of narcissistic brats who lost a bunch of money, I understand your reaction.  But know that this misses the larger points.  You need to dig deeper. [...] As Whitney Webb has been pointing out in interviews, the story of Jeffrey Epstein is about much more than the lurid details of his sexcapades with underage girls.  Epstein was a specialist in financial crime — something the mainstream media somehow always fails to delve into.

Dozens of court docs relating to eight of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's associates will be unsealed.  Dozens of court documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein's associates, including a billionaire businessman, will be made public after a judge ruled the public interest outweighs the right to privacy.  Judge Loretta Preska on Friday ruled that the material concerning eight people should be unsealed despite one subject claiming it could 'wrongfully harm (his) privacy and reputation.'  Among those whose names are mentioned in the documents are a British woman, Ghislaine Maxwell's former personal assistant, who was accused of taking part in the sexual abuse of minors.

Ghislaine Maxwell: Jeffrey Epstein's death in jail is 'profoundly suspicious'.  Ghislaine Maxwell has admitted she thinks her pedophile ex-partner Jeffrey Epstein's death behind bars three years ago is "profoundly suspicious."  The locked-up socialite told documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak that she was "totally shocked" when her well-connected ex was found dead in his Manhattan cell in August 2019 — and still has doubts it was suicide.  "The Bureau of Prisons has failed to release the autopsy report, and allegedly none of the cameras were working," Maxwell, 60, told the filmmaker in excerpts published by the Sun.  "Allegedly, the guards were sleeping," she added of troubling details that have fueled ongoing conspiracies.  "I think that unexplained death is profoundly suspicious," she insisted in an interview in which she also recalled her "special friendship" with former President Bill Clinton.

FOIA Request May Indicate FBI Is Hiding Explosive Epstein Info.  The FBI has lost the trust of Americans for quite some time now.  Accused of being slaves to the left, the FBI seems to only uncover information when it will benefit Democrats.  The Daily Wire reported that a well known internet investigator apparently found evidence that the FBI is hiding bombshell evidence on potentially explosive secret records involving dead sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein.  Techno Fog, an anonymous self proclaimed lawyer and writer, alleges that the denial for a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request means they are hiding something.  The FOIA requested all records relating to any interviews the FBI had done with Epstein.  "We asked the FBI for the Jeffery Epstein interview transcripts," Techno Fog said in a tweet, adding "the FBI response:  providing the Epstein records would interfere with law enforcement proceedings.  Either the FBI is lying, or something is up."

Is the FBI is hiding embarrassing information about Jeffrey Epstein?  For those who like taking Deep Dives into political mysteries and chicanery, the writer who calls himself Techno Fog has always been a good place to start.  All we know about him is that he identifies as a lawyer, and his investigatory and analysis skills are often right.  Currently, Techno Fog is making FOIA requests to get documents about Jeffrey Epstein.  The FBI's initial careful response suggests that it's hiding embarrassing or otherwise compromising information from the American people.  If you've just returned from a nice, long vacation to Mars, here's a reminder about Jeffrey Epstein: He's a convicted pedophile who had a private airplane that took him to his private island where he had lots of underage girls to fulfill his sick fantasies, along with help from his procurer and friend, Ghislaine Maxwell.  What makes Epstein stand out from other disgusting rich people is that there's every reason to believe that many rich and powerful men took advantage of the girls on his island.  Interestingly, the American government has worked very, very hard to keep those men's names hidden.

The Strange Case of Ghislaine Maxwell.  Those that love this country, must also love the moral fiber upon which it was founded.  From that truth, it must also be true that as a society, it is a duty of all Americans to remain vigilant to remove any strand of evil that has invaded our culture's moral fabric — such as the corruption of our government institutions — before it is allowed to weaken and ultimately destroy the nation our founders designed.  Although examples of such corruption now presently abound, few put on full display what's at stake better than our government's recent handling of the Ghislaine Maxwell matter.  Specifically, her case has set before us the question of whether we, as a people, are willingly turning a blind eye to our government's complicity in protecting the anonymity of the powerful and elite among us whom our government knows to have participated in the sex trafficking of children.  Or, will we take a stand and demand that our government reveal the identities of the criminal pedophiles that Epstein and Maxwell "serviced" for nearly 25 years and compel them to hold these criminals accountable for their crimes?

Steven Hoffenberg Who Worked with Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead In Connecticut Apartment.  Steven Hoffenberg, a longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate, was found dead in his Derby, Connecticut apartment.  He was 77.  He was found by officials who said his body was "in a state where a visual identification could not be made."  [Tweet]  He was dead for a while.

Out of Outrage.  [Scroll down] I've previously been outraged and outraged that there aren't more people who are as outraged as I am.  Take child sex trafficking for instance, it outrages me, but I look around and there's no pressure on the DOJ to do something about it, like continuing to follow the guidelines Trump instituted to make some significant headway on it.  Those who had been in the fight against child sex trafficking for quite a while recognized that Trump's approach was having a significant impact.  The problem is partly that several of our congressmen, senators and presidents have visited Epstein's Island and rely on that child sex trafficking for their sick rituals that demonstrate to themselves the amount of raw power they wield, because if they didn't have the ability to exert extreme power, they'd be hung up like sheets on laundry day.  The fact that they continue to walk around, knowing there are pictures of themselves on the island, in the jet, hobnobbing with Epstein and Maxwell, is enormously satisfying for these ritualistic abusers.  And, to that point, not one of Maxwell's clients have been indicted.  That puts a big smile on their faces.  See how much power they have.

Does Donald Trump Have Jeffrey Epstein's List of Clients?  Does Donald Trump have Jeffrey Epstein's list of clients?  The Deep State, Bureaucracy, Swamp, Administrative State, Military-Industrial Complex, Democrats, Media, Establishment Republicans, and crew are acting like Trump is Satan incarnate.  At this point their loathing seems overwrought, to understate it.  Every norm is being thrown out for a man who governed in a perfunctory way.  At first, the hysteria seemed just like partisan hyperventilating.  Now, the actions are shrill hysteria.  Only one thing causes this kind of collective freakout in Washington, D.C.: fear.  What about Donald Trump makes these people so afraid?  Thus, I return to my first question:  Does Donald Trump have Jeffrey Epstein's list of clients?  Trump must have the goods on these people, because they've done everything to the man short of assassinate him.

Judge who signed off the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago mansion represented Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express pilots.  The Florida judge who signed off the FBI raid on Donald Trump's mansion represented Jeffrey Epstein's workers, it has been revealed.  Bruce Reinhart acted for several employees of the billionaire pedophile before he sanctioned the 'unannounced' search on Mar-a-Lago yesterday.  He left the local US Attorney's office over a decade ago to set up a private practice and help staff members including his Lolita Express pilots and his scheduler.  He was accused in a lawsuit of breaking the Justice Department's policies by using information from his previous job to benefit in the private sector, which he denied.  Meanwhile Reinhart was also revealed to have donated to Barack Obama's campaign in 2008 and Jeb Bush's when he ran against Trump in 2015.

Was Judge Who Signed-Off on Sketchy FBI Search Warrant Raid of Trump Home, a Client Name in Ghislane Maxwells Little Black Book?  There's an interesting angle given the revelation that Judge Bruce Reinhart signed-off on the sketchy FBI search warrant for the residence of President Trump in Florida.  Judge Bruce Reinhart was the former U.S. attorney in West Palm Beach who spent 12 years as a federal prosecutor, before leaving his position in order to defend a network of employees who operated the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking operation. [...] Considering the FBI predicate for the raid on Trump's home, as currently identified, is exceptionally weak; and considering the profile of the raid would have landed upon an ordinarily reluctant judicial desk; what if the FBI had leverage over Bruce Reinhart as an outcome of the case against Epstein's enabler, Ghislane Maxwell.  The prosecutor in the New York case against Maxwell was former FBI Director James Comey's daughter.  The client files of Epstein and Maxwell would be currently in the hands of the FBI.

CIA should respond to speculation regarding human trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein.  During episode #1850 of "The Joe Rogan Experience," released on July 29, podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan made a powerful claim about convicted, and now deceased, sexual abuser and trafficker of women and children, Jeffrey Epstein.  Rogan said, "Whoever was running it — whether it was the Mossad, or whether it was CIA, or whether it was a combination of both — it was an intelligence operation.  They were bringing in people and compromising them."  This statement gained national media attention, and I thought to myself, "Has anyone ever asked the CIA directly whether Epstein was involved with it?"  The question isn't beyond the pale, and many have considered the idea both publicly and privately over the years.  Eric Weinstein, physicist, podcaster, and managing director of Thiel Capital, has repeatedly asked about connections between Jeffrey Epstein and intelligence communities.

Ghislaine Maxwell moved to cushy Florida prison that offers yoga and Pilates.  Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy low-security federal prison in north Florida to serve out her 20-year sex trafficking sentence for procuring teen girls to be abused by her and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.  The British socialite, 60, is now residing at the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution, which houses about 755 female inmates, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database.  Other notable prisoners who've called the sprawling brick complex home include Russian spy Maria Butina, terrorist Colleen LaRose a.k.a.  "Jihad Jane" and nursing home serial killer Catherine May Wood.

Ghislaine Maxwell Transferred to Low Security Prison With Comfy Cells, Yoga and Movies.  Despite being sentenced to meet her 75th birthday in prison, the 60-year-old socialite is now likely to 'celebrate' the occasion in a fairly comfortable environment after being found guilty of sex trafficking minors.  British socialite and sex convict Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, will spend 15 years of her imprisonment in a low-security prison in Florida, which boasts of dormitory housing instead of grim cells, as well as a range of "indoor and outdoor activities" available to inmates.

Epstein Accomplice to Serve Out Sentence in Cushy Florida Prison.  For many Americans, the current version of our penal system is far too lenient on those who would sexually exploit children, and the latest twist to the tale of Ghislaine Maxwell is likely to drive that point home once again.  Maxwell was an accomplice of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein — a child sex trafficker whose close acquaintances included high level politicians, billionaires, and the Hollywood elite.  Maxwell is believed to have been Epstein's right hand woman, doing the dastardly deed of recruiting these underage sexual slaves.  Now, after being sentenced to 20 years in prison, Maxwell is headed to a fairly cushy prison in Florida.  Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy low-security federal prison in north Florida to serve out her 20-year sex trafficking sentence for procuring teen girls to be abused by her and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals Verdict, Sentence In Sex Trafficking Case.  Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has filed an appeal of both her conviction and sentence.  Maxwell was found guilty in federal court for her role in trafficking young women for the sexual pleasure of her employer and one-time romantic partner, Jeffrey Epstein.  In December, Maxwell was convicted on five counts of sex trafficking, including one count involving a minor.  On June 28, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $750,000.

After Ghislaine Maxwell's Insultingly Low Sentence, Lawyers Demand FBI Go After Epstein's Clients.  On Tuesday, as TFTP predicted, Ghislaine Maxwell was handed down a sentence that was 30 years less than prosecutors were asking.  Thanks to U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan — who has been granting Maxwell special treatment throughout her prosecution — Maxwell could be out of prison in less than a decade with good behavior.  As we reported back in March of 2021, Maxwell's privilege began to show through as her requests to redact evidence were allowed.  Judge Nathan issued a ruling on redactions that Maxwell had asked for regarding transcripts the government filed under seal in February 2021.  According to the judge, the evidence was too "sensational and impure" to reveal to the public.  "Those portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a 'craving for that which is sensational and impure,'" Nathan wrote in the order.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein confidante, hit with 20 years for sex-trafficking teen girls.  Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced Tuesday [6/28/2022] to 20 years in prison for procuring teenage girls to be sexually abused by late financier Jeffrey Epstein after calling him a "manipulative, cunning and controlling man."  A jury found Maxwell guilty in December after a month-long trial of recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual encounters with her and Epstein between 1994 and 2004 at the late billionaire's mansions and estates in Manhattan, New Mexico, Florida and the Virgin Islands.  Before the sentence was handed down, Maxwell addressed the court.  "I believe that Jeffrey Epstein was a manipulative, cunning and controlling man who lived a profoundly compartmentalized life and filled all of those in his orbit," said Maxwell, 60, who wore blue prison scrubs.

Ghislaine Maxwell on suicide watch, though she isn't suicidal, attorney says.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the late Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and confidant, was placed on suicide watch, even though she is not suicidal, according to her attorney.  Attorney Bobbi Sternheim said in a letter Saturday that his client, who is being held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn, may need to postpone her sentencing, set to take place on Monday.  Prosecutors requested that Maxwell, 60, be sentenced to a minimum of 30 years and up to 55 years in prison for her role in recruiting and grooming young women to be sexually abused by Epstein.

The Editor says...
Now is the time to check the cameras around her cell.  After she is found dead, the cameras will also be found dead.

Prosecutors: Ghislaine Maxwell should face 30 to 55 years in prison.  Federal prosecutors are advocating that Jeffrey Epstein's former alleged fixer Ghislaine Maxwell get a long prison sentence.  The prosecution has requested that Maxwell be sentenced to a minimum of 30 years and up to 55 years in prison for her involvement in Epstein's multiple crimes, according to a sentencing memorandum filed on Wednesday.

Ghislaine Maxwell claims inmate was paid to 'strangle her in her sleep'.  Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers are arguing that the former Jeffery Epstein associate should be sentenced to "well below" the recommended 20 years imprisonment for federal sex-trafficking crimes because of an alleged death threat from another inmate.  On Dec. 29, Maxwell was convicted of charges including sex trafficking and conspiracy to recruit women and girls, some who were just 14 years old, into Epstein's orbit for him to sexually abuse.  She maintains her innocence.  Maxwell's lawyers provided details of the alleged death threat in a pre-sentencing report Wednesday.  They also made the case that Maxwell suffered an abusive upbringing, which made her vulnerable to Epstein's influence, in arguing for leniency in her sentencing.

New Death Scene Photos Of Woman Linked To Dead Bill Clinton Advisor Spark Calls For New Inquiry.  The family of a top advisor to Bill Clinton who admitted Jeffrey Epstein to the White House multiple times during his presidency is pulling out all the stops to keep details of his mysterious death becoming public.  They have petitioned a judge to prevent pictures of Mark Middleton's death scene being released under the Freedom of Information Act.  And now the local Arkansas sheriff is interpreting that to mean he can't talk or release any details of Middleton's May 7 suicide. [...] Ashley Haynes was found drowned in the Arkansas River with an extension cord knotted to her ankle and attached to a concrete block — just months before Clinton moneyman Mark Middleton was found dead.  A renowned forensic expert says he cannot rule out "foul play" in the death of an Arkansas woman who is linked to the mysterious suicide of the former presidential advisor who introduced President Bill Clinton to billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.  Famed pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht reached the shocking conclusion after reviewing exclusively obtained documents and shocking crime scene photographs of the 47-year-old model, who was once seen by a witness meeting Middleton to discuss a financial matter.

Family of Bill Clinton advisor who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into White House seven times has blocked release of files detailing the death scene.  The family of a top advisor to Bill Clinton who admitted Jeffrey Epstein to the White House multiple times during his presidency is pulling out all the stops to keep details of his mysterious death becoming public.  They have petitioned a judge to prevent pictures of Mark Middleton's death scene being released under the Freedom of Information Act.  And now the local Arkansas sheriff is interpreting that to mean he can't talk or release any details of Middleton's May 7 suicide.

Family of Clinton Advisor Found Hanging From Tree with Shotgun Blast to Chest Blocks Release of Files Detailing Grisly Death Scene.  Another Clinton advisor is dead.  Mark Middleton, Bill Clinton's special advisor from Little Rock, Arkansas who connected the former president to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died at the age of 59 in early May.  At first, no details of Middleton's death were disclosed, however, the case was blown wide open after a FOIA request by Radar Online revealed the former advisor was found hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast to his chest.

Investigation Into Death Of Clinton Advisor Linked To Epstein Reopened.  The bizarre suicide death of Bill Clinton's former advisor linked to billionaire perv Jeffrey Epstein is now an "OPEN" investigation, Radar can exclusively report.  The stunning turn of events comes after a series of explosive RadarOnline.com stories questioning the suicide death of Clinton moneyman, Mark Middleton, who was found May 7 hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast through his chest and an extension cord around his neck.  RadarOnline.com learned about the surprise twist after it filed a Freedom of Information request with the Perry County Sheriff's Department demanding copies of the police report and crime scene photos of grisly death in a 1,100-acre farm linked to the former president just outside Perryville, Arkansas.  In an email reply, Sheriff Scott Montgomery tells Radar he cannot release the police report because the once open-and-shut case is an active investigation.

Elon Is Asking Some Big Questions About the Media, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.  I mentioned the other day that one of the reasons many Americans are intrigued by Elon Musk is that he is plain-speaking and says what is on the minds of a lot of people.  That unsettles the folks in power who don't like people willing to challenge the narrative. [...] Musk is not shy about taking on what seem like taboo subjects to the liberal media.  On Saturday, he brought up a good question that many of us have likely had — why haven't we seen the client list from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell?  [Tweets]  But Musk raises an even bigger question — you would think this would be a big thing for the media to cover, and that they'd be going all-in trying to get a copy of the list.  Yet again, they don't seem at all interested.  Are they afraid of antagonizing the people on the list?  Or are their bosses on the list?  It isn't only about holding Maxwell accountable; if these people were involved in assaulting underage girls, then they need to be exposed as well.

Former Clinton Special Adviser Who Admitted Epstein to WH Seven Times Dies.  Mark Middleton — who used to be a special assistant to President Bill Clinton and was a finance director on his presidential campaign — passed away on Saturday, according to an announcement from his family.  Middleton was only 59 years old, and the cause of death was not revealed.  According to the Daily Mail, in addition to running an air conditioning business that was one of the largest HVAC providers in Arkansas for many years, Middleton was the man who admitted Jeffrey Epstein to the White House complex on seven of the 17 occasions that he visited.  He also flew on Epstein's plane and "appears to have acted as a conduit between the two men." [...] The Pulaski County (Arkansas) Sheriff's office said they had not responded to Middleton's death, and neither had the county coroner, according to their offices.  So the cause is not clear.

Bill Clinton's special advisor who let Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times and flew on the Lolita Express dies at 59.  One of Bill Clinton's former special advisors who helped cement his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has died at the age of 59, becoming the latest associate of the former President to die young.  Mark Middleton's family said that he passed away on Saturday in a statement which did not reveal the cause of death.  The father-of-two lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, and local law enforcement and the county coroner told DailyMail.com that they were not investigating the death and did not respond to it.

Bill Clinton Advisor, Who Was Close Friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Found Dead.  Mark Middleton, a former special advisor to Bill Clinton during his presidency who was known for cementing the president's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead.  He was 59 and becomes the latest figure close to the Clintons and Epstein to die young without an announced cause of death.  As special advisor to the president, Middleton was responsible for inviting Jeffrey Epstein to the White House at least 17 times.  Middleton also flew on Epstein's notorious private jet, dubbed the "Lolita Express", and is widely credited with introducing the former president to the convicted pedophile.

Musk Demands Answers on Epstein 'Client List': 'Shouldn't at Least One of Them Go Down!?'  Back in December, Twitter censored and suspended a Twitter account that was following the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell and providing detailed coverage.  Apparently, liberals working behind closed doors at the tech giant weren't happy about this activity on the social platform.  One person said, "It is also 'interesting' that the account tracking the 's trial got banned when it gained traction.  Lovely people indeed."  Billionaire Elon Musk chimed in and called for the list of Epstein clients to be released.  It's widely speculated that influential people are working to keep Epstein's client list hidden who allegedly had sexual relations with underage females.

Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake Makes Bold Statement About Jeffrey Epstein.  Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake gives the impression that she wants to be the southwest state's Ron DeSantis.  Lake is a straightshooter with the seeming presence of a spine and moral compass. [...] How many politicians have publicly questioned [Jeffrey] Epstein's death?  How many aspiring politicians have done so as well?  Even a no-nonsense guy like DeSantis has generally refrained from wading into those murky waters.  Taking a loud stance against the obvious immoral corruption within elitist circles is exactly what we need to see leaders do.  Otherwise, they are simply part of the problem.

Unrelated news - completely off-topic, I'm sure:
Reputed federal informant, whistleblower found dead in L.A. after he's reported missing.  A reputed federal informant and whistleblower who went missing after reportedly turning over a trove of secret files about Deutsche Bank was found dead at a Los Angeles school earlier this week, a police official said Wednesday [4/27/2022].  The body of Valentin Broeksmit, 46, was found Monday at Woodrow Wilson High School shortly before 7 a.m., Sgt. Rudy Perez of the Los Angeles School Police Department said in an email.  Records with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner do not list a cause of death.  Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Kenneth Cabrera told the Los Angeles Times that authorities do not suspect foul play.

Judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's bid for new trial.  A federal judge rejected a new trial for Ghislaine Maxwell, who argued her sex trafficking case was tainted after it was revealed that one juror did not disclose he was a victim of child sex abuse.  Judge Alison Nathan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York upheld Maxwell's conviction in a decision Friday [4/1/2022].  "His failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate," Nathan wrote.  "The Court further concludes that Juror 50 harbored no bias toward the Defendant and could serve as a fair and impartial juror."

The Democrats have a pedo problem.  Empirically and factually, an overwhelming majority of public figures who are confirmed and aspiring pedophiles (along with pedo-friendly corporations like Disney) are progressive Democrats in terms of political orientation.  All of this is hushed up by our progressive media, and thanks to progressive privilege, virtually nobody is ever prosecuted or punished.  Why is it never a national scandal when Democrats routinely prey on young children?  Simple — because the progressive media protect Democrats far better than Rome's Praetorian guard ever protected any of the Caesars.  If Jeffrey Epstein's client roster had been chock-full of identifiable Republicans (instead of Democrats from Bill Clinton to Bill Gates to Bill Richardson — we knew nothing!), or if FOX News producers were outed as skeevy pedo perverts, the earsplitting cacophony from the media would be maximally amped with hysterical shrieks of sustained, collective outrage.  Moreover, if the progressive Epstein had instead been a prominent conservative donor and activist, he would've been rightly imprisoned decades ago.  Perhaps he would even be alive today rather than conveniently dead.

It's Been 80 Days Since Maxwell's Conviction and Not a Single Child Rapist Client Has Been Arrested.  Its been nearly three months since a jury found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty on 5 of the 6 counts of luring and grooming underage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and his pedophile cohorts.  Due to the nature of her charges, Maxwell could face a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. [...] US District Judge Alison J. Nathan has stated that Maxwell will be sentenced on June 28 and we've heard nothing else since.  Despite the high profile nature of Maxwell's conviction and the deep desire by those paying attention to see her customers held accountable, coverage of her situation in the mainstream media became non-existent.

Juror No. 50 Pleads the Fifth, Is Granted Immunity in Maxwell Trial.  Juror No. 50, who's at the center of a possible mistrial in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking case, appeared in federal court on March 8 where he plead the Fifth Amendment — the Constitutional right to refuse to answer questions in order to avoid incriminating himself.  The Honorable Alison J. Nathan, the judge who presided over the case in December, granted him immunity from prosecution with the exception of perjury.  "You need to answer my questions today and you need to answer truthfully," she instructed the juror, who chose not to disclose his actual name.  Soon after the jury's Dec. 29 guilty verdict on five of six counts of sex trafficking of a minor, Juror No. 50 stated publicly he was a victim of childhood sexual abuse and had made this known to his fellow jurors during deliberations.  At the center of the issue is the questionnaire potential jurors filled out prior to selection.

Twitter Blows Up After Shocking Match of Suspect Sketch for Madeleine McCann Disappearance with Ghislaine Maxwell.  Internet sleuths were buzzing in December with a new theory regarding the alleged crimes of Ghislaine Maxwell.  Those theories posit that Maxwell may have been involved in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.  According to BBC News, McCann went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia de Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday.  Despite her case being one of the most heavily reported on at the time, her whereabouts continue to remain unknown.

Jean-Luc Brunel dead — Disgraced Epstein 'pimp' was in single cell and NO cameras recorded his prison 'suicide'.  Jeffrey Epstein pal Jean-Luc Brunel's death was not caught on camera and he was in a single occupancy cell at the time, sources said.  Brunel died in circumstances eerily similar to his paedo friend Epstein as he also hung himself in prison while awaiting trial for sex crimes.  He was being held at La Santé in Paris — one of the toughest jails in France — when he is reported to have taken his own life last night.

Jeffrey Epstein's friend Jean-Luc Brunel 'commits suicide' in prison — video camera not on.  The French modelling agent was accused of procuring more than 1,000 women and girls for the paedophile financier to sleep with.  The 74-year-old's apparent suicide happened in a part of a Paris prison where the security cameras were reportedly not working.  It echos the controversial circumstances surrounding Epstein's death in a New York prison in August 2019.

Another Convenient Epstein Suicide.  Financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died in a Manhattan prison in August of 2019 under very mysterious circumstances.  He was awaiting trial on additional charges when he supposedly committed "suicide" by hanging himself, although he told a prison psychologist, he would never take his own life.  To make matters even more suspicious, the video of his cell during the time of his death was conveniently "lost."  The prison guards on duty that night were reportedly playing video games and asleep, unaware that the most high-profile inmate in prison history was taking his own life.  Since these revelations, speculation has been rampant that Epstein did not commit "suicide" but was killed.  The theory is that powerful individuals wanted Epstein dead so he would not talk.  His "black book" reportedly contained the names of well-known celebrities, as well as business and political leaders who were involved in his worldwide underage sex ring.  This convenient "suicide" has now been followed by another one less than three years later.

Jeffrey Epsteins Pedo-Pal Also Found Dead in Prison by 'Clintoncide', Camera's were Disabled at the Time.  The cover-up continues!  Now Jeffrey Epsteins pedo buddy has also been found dead in his prison cell, the cameras at the time were 'not working' aka were disabled... just like what happened to Epstein.  The people who will be exposed if Epstein and Jean-Luc Brunel went to court made sure their secrets are safe since dead men don't talk.  [Video clip — Narration sounds like a text-to-speech converter.]

Jean-Luc Brunel, held on suspicion of supplying girls to Epstein, found hanged.  The former boss of a French model agency accused of rape and under investigation on suspicion of supplying underage girls to the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in prison.  The body of Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, was reportedly found hanging in his cell in the early hours of Saturday.  The French prosecutors' office confirmed the report and said an inquiry had been opened into the exact cause of death, but early indications pointed to suicide.  Brunel was arrested in December 2020 at Charles de Gaulle airport before boarding a plane for Dakar in Senegal where he told police he was going on holiday.  He was officially put under investigation on allegations of the alleged rape of a minor and sexual harassment shortly after his arrest, and was put under a second investigation for the rape of a minor in June last year.

The Great Epstein Cover-Up, Part 2.  Last week, we reviewed our ruling class's strange lack of interest in Jeffrey Epstein's child molestation ring, in which so many of them played a part.  The media cover-up is second only to the government cover-up, with prosecutors delivering loss after loss in cases they've been forced to bring (by the police and the public) against the child molester.  This week, we'll look at the government's long record of zealously trying NOT to unravel the case.  Barry Krischer was the first prosecutor to let Epstein off for child molestation.  The local police presented then-Palm Beach state attorney Krischer with bales of evidence.  They had affidavits from dozens of witnesses:  girls abused by the pederast, the women who recruited them, the butler who cleaned up sex toys after the "massages," as well as records of Epstein's molestation appointments, one delayed because of a victim's "soccer practice."  Pretty much everything we know today about Epstein's sex ring was unearthed by the Palm Beach Police back in 2005 and handed to Krischer on a silver platter.

Maxwell Defense Files Motion for New Trial Over Sex Trafficking Charges.  Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team filed a motion in federal court on Dec. 19 requesting a new trial for the British socialite.  On Dec. 29 Maxwell was found guilty of five out of six sex-trafficking charges on behalf of the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.  Accompanying exhibits for the new trial request are under seal.  At the center of the motion is Juror No. 50, who had recently stated publicly he was a victim of childhood sexual abuse and made this known to his fellow jurors during deliberations.  The prosecution had previously requested there be an inquiry into the juror and the defense had previously requested a new trial.

Prince Andrew's ex says Clinton, Epstein were 'like brothers'.  One of Prince Andrew's well-connected ex-girlfriends has claimed that former President Bill Clinton and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were so close, they were "like brothers."  "Clinton was definitely very close to Jeffrey," Lady Victoria Hervey, 45, said in the new ITV documentary, "Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Pedophile," which aired in the UK Tuesday night.  The socialite said she got to see the powerful group up close as a longtime pal of Epstein's madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who first introduced her to Andrew.

Uh oh.  Ghislaine Maxwell "will no longer fight to keep names of John Does secret".  This was something that Ed Morrissey was speculating about after we learned that Ghislaine Maxwell had been found guilty at her trial for sex trafficking minors.  All through the process, Maxwell had refused to name any of the high-profile "clients" that she and Jeffrey Epstein procured young girls for.  But now, facing the potential of decades behind bars, would she seek some sort of a deal for a lighter sentence in exchange for naming names?  That may be what we're seeing this weekend.  Her attorneys have informed the court that she will "no longer fight to protect the identity of eight" of their "customers."  And you can bet that there are some very famous people out there who are looking around quite nervously today.

Ghislaine Maxwell Gives Up [her] battle to keep [the] identities of high-profile John Does named in civil lawsuit sealed.  Ghislaine Maxwell has given up on her battle to keep 'vast swathes of information' about her 'sex trafficking operation' with Jeffrey Epstein sealed after alleged victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre requested they be made public.  Attorneys for Giuffre, who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, asked Judge Loretta Preska Wednesday to unseal material from her 2015 civil lawsuit against Maxwell that includes references to eight anonymous John Does.  The individuals are identified in court documents only as 'Non-Parties 17, 53, 54, 55, 56, 73, 93 and 151'.

Jeffrey Epstein brought eight young women with him on his trips to see Bill Clinton at the White House.  Jeffrey Epstein paid more than a dozen visits to the Clinton White House throughout the former president's first few years in office — even bringing along with him multiple women, including four known to be his girlfriends, DailyMail.com can reveal.  Unearthed visitor logs last month confirmed the late pedophile had visited the Executive Mansion at least 17 times during Bill Clinton's first term, beginning shortly after his inauguration in 1993.  Additional records exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com now reveal that Epstein was not always alone during his trips to the White House, where he was joined by eight different women between 1993 and 1995.

The Mystery of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell Explained.  [Scroll down]  Why were Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell allowed to operate a vast pedophile sex trafficking ring in the United States for decades in plain sight?  How were they able to enjoy the company of Presidents and Prime Ministers?  Or stay at the private retreats of English monarchs?  Why were the rooms in Epstein's mansions all wired with closed circuit cameras and filled with recording equipment?  Why do you think disgraced FBI Director Jim Comey's daughter was put in charge of the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell in court?  Why was the case against the negligent jail guards dropped entirely?  Why do you think the trial wrapped up so quickly?  Why wasn't it not televised?  These are all the hallmarks of a cover-up — orchestrated at the highest levels of our government.  Epstein and Maxwell were obviously running a classic honeypot operation — he even bragged to some of his victims that he made "blackmail" tapes of powerful people.  All that you have to do is scan Jeffrey Epstein's little black book of contacts to see it clearly:  the Democrat elites in government and media and finance for three decades.

After Maxwell Trial, Epstein Associates Remain Silent.  Many of those connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remain silent in the face of questions after the trial of a close associate, with some entities not even responding to inquiries from the Daily Caller News Foundation.  Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's onetime girlfriend and associate, was convicted on five of six counts in December, including a charge of conspiring to sex-traffic minors.  Epstein, who pled guilty to sex charges in 2008, was arrested in 2019 on sex-trafficking charges and committed suicide while awaiting trial.  The guards on duty at the time of his suicide were charged, but the charges were dropped during Maxwell's trial.  Epstein had extensive ties to celebrities, politicians, and executives, even after he was a convicted sex offender.  Among those who were known to have been close were L Brands founder Les Wexner, film director Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew.  Andrew is perhaps the most famous of Epstein's friends, having met in 1999, according to a 2019 report by the New York Post.  The Duke of York stepped back from royal duties in the wake of an interview with the BBC about his ties with Epstein.

The Great Epstein Cover-Up, Part 1.  Epstein had vast wealth, and we still don't know where it came from.  Normally, the IRS is extremely curious about unexplained flows of riches.  Did the IRS decide in this case, well, he may be a committed and energetic pedophile, but as far as we know, he's a conscientious taxpayer!  Similarly, there are vague claims that he made his money from "investments."  The SEC wasn't the least bit interested in finding out how he got this rich from secretive "investment" services?  And this:  Epstein spent decades aggressively cultivating powerful, important men, quite a few from foreign countries — evidently taping all their activities.  Why wasn't the CIA concerned?  Couldn't he have sold dirt on U.S. politicians to foreign intel agencies?  Finally, it's odd that our government wasn't concerned about how much blackmail material Epstein had gathered on high-level U.S. officials.  Doesn't the FBI try to prevent that sort of situation?  Or the Secret Service?

Disclose Names of Men in Maxwell-Epstein Case.  The conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell on five of six charges of recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual encounters with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is not and should not be the end of the story.  While Maxwell has been held accountable for her actions, the men who engaged in these encounters with underage girls have not, at least not yet.  There is speculation Maxwell could strike a bargain with the court for a reduced sentence if she releases the names and possible videos that Epstein shot of some of the men who traveled to his Caribbean island and New York home.  For too long, too many men have escaped accountability for their liaisons with prostitutes and underage girls.  While some have faced criminal charges, most appear to have escaped full accountability.  When police arrest prostitutes, the "johns" too often go free, or pay a fine and avoid publicity.  Perhaps one way to discourage this sleazy behavior is to return to a past practice that seemed to work as a deterrent.

Coincidental or not, dropping criminal charges against Epstein's prison guards sends a message to Ghislaine Maxwell the day after her conviction.  So far as the public has been told, Ghislaine Maxwell has not offered any evidence against the other men who had illicit sex with the underage girls she procured for Epstein's stable of sex slaves.  If we are to believe that some of the rich, famous, and powerful people known to have associated with Epstein in his various residences, including "Orgy Island," could be implicated by Maxwell in a plea bargain agreement to reduce her sentence, then she has every reason to fear for her safety in federal custody.  The message being sent by the light punishment for the prison guards whose negligence enabled Epstein's death is pretty clear.  If Maxwell were to "commit suicide" or "have an accident," any guards implicated in negligence permitting such a death may face minimal consequences.

Ghislaine Maxwell's brother says she won't rat out for lighter sentence.  Ghislaine Maxwell is a convicted sex offender and disgraced British socialite — but she's no rat, her brother tells The Sunday Times of London.  "Prosecution confirmed no plea bargain offers were made or received" before the trial, Ian Maxwell said.  "I expect that position to be maintained."   Maxwell, in other words, will not trade names for the prospect of a lighter sentence.

FBI director Christopher Wray allegedly made a hard-to-believe promise.  In one of the more unbelievable statements from someone working in the American government, FBI Director Christopher Wray has allegedly sworn that his agency will bring down the bad guys named in Ghislaine Maxwell's little black book.  Those pedophiles are toast, right?  Well, I have my doubts.  To the extent that the FBI has seemed to take it upon itself to be a protector and enforcer for the Democrat party, the only way I see it following up on the evildoers whom Ghislaine knew is if they pose a threat to Democrat party political dominance. [...] In the case of people who indulged their desires for underage sex on Jeffrey Epstein's island, the FBI doesn't have to set people up in order to catch them.  Instead, it has in its possession all Ghislaine Maxwell's information about the people she and Epstein hosted on the island or at his other properties, including her infamous little black book.  (None of these people were named at Maxwell's trial, thanks to an agreement between the prosecution and the defense.)

Ghislaine Maxwell has been convicted.  Who is next?  The victims see justice for abuse that went on, if we are to believe the government, from 1994 to 2004.  Crimes against minors that the DOJ had knowledge of way back in 2007, if not earlier.  Years of inaction dating back to the George W. Bush administration.  That is, until the DOJ decided it was getting bad press about the Epstein non-prosecution agreement and needed to change the conversation.  To put all this into perspective, Maxwell is now 60 years-old.  She will finally serve time — perhaps for the rest of her life — for the crimes she started to commit at the age of 33. [...] The DOJ pats itself on the back for finally securing a conviction.  The Southern District of New York (SDNY) gave credit to its prosecutors and promised it "will always stand with victims, will always follow the facts wherever they lead, and will always fight to ensure that no one, no matter how powerful and well connected, is above the law."  Dare I say don't believe them. [...] The good thing about the Maxwell conviction was that justice was done.  The bad thing — that which has been a pattern of governmental misconduct — is the very real possibility that the DOJ will use this conviction to close the book on the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

Justice Department ditches case against Jeffrey Epstein jail guards.  The Department of Justice moved to drop its case against two Bureau of Prison workers who admitted to falsifying logs and were accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of monitoring jet-setting financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein the night he allegedly killed himself in his prison cell.  Nicolas Roos, an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, told a federal court that prosecutors want to drop the charges entirely.  He said the DOJ filing of a "nolle prosequi," a Latin phrase indicating that prosecutors have decided to abandon the prosecution of a case, "will dispose of this case" against the guards.

Oh, good!  Now they can get back to work, "guarding" Ghislaine Maxwell.
U.S. ends case against Jeffrey Epstein's jail guards.  U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch.  In a Thursday [12/30/2021] filing in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors asked a judge to dismiss claims against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, after both complied with the six-month deferred prosecution agreements they agreed to in May.  Epstein was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, in what New York City's medical examiner called a suicide.

After Maxwell Verdict People Wonder, How Is Bill Clinton Not in Prison?  On Wednesday evening [12/29/2021] a jury found socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend to convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein, guilty on five counts related to sex trafficking and abuse of minors.  Maxwell, who just turned 60, will spend the rest of her life behind bars.  "Judge Nathan did not set a date for Ms. Maxwell to be sentenced.  On the most serious of the counts for which she was convicted — sex trafficking of minors — she could face up to 40 years in prison.  Another count carries a potential 10-year sentence, and the three others, all conspiracy counts, carry sentences of up to five years each," the New York Times reports.  Given the jury's findings, questions are being raised about a lack of consequences for the men who benefitted from Maxwell's behavior.  Former President Bill Clinton was one of them and visited Epstein's private island, where much of the abuse took place, multiple times.

They do not want Ghislaine to sing.  Jazz Shaw tweeted, "Still don't understand why she never cut a deal.  Probably could have walked if she'd agreed to turn state's witness against other perpetrators."  Prosecutors do not want her to sing.  Either spoken or likely unspoken, the deal was you stand trial, you do not sing, and you will not face Arkancide.  If anything in the Trump era has taught us anything, it is that federal law enforcement exists to protect the elitists and frame dissidents. [...] The FBI likely has all of Epstein's blackmail evidence.

Epstein Confidante Ghislaine Maxwell Found Guilty in Sex Trafficking Trial.  Maxwell was stoic and showed no visible reaction when the verdict was read.  She knew what was coming.  The evidence against her was overwhelming and powerful.  [Video clip]

Jury convicts Ghislaine Maxwell — so who's next?  It took many hours of deliberation, but a jury finally reached a verdict in the trial of the year — one that should have been the trial of the year ten years ago.  Ghislaine Maxwell could face decades in prison for sex trafficking of minors after getting convicted of five out of six counts in her indictment.  As NBC News reports, Jeffrey Epstein's literal partner in crime might also face a new trial for two counts of perjury[.]

Prince Andrew's lawyers reportedly in 'emergency talks' after Maxwell guilty verdict.  Prince Andrew's lawyers were locked in emergency talks overnight after Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in New York for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein, a new report said.  The British socialite's guilty verdict Wednesday evening sent fear rippling through the embattled royal's legal team as he battles sexual assault allegations leveled against him in a civil lawsuit filed in Manhattan, the Mirror reported.  Accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre has alleged the Duke of York sexually abused her when she was 17 after she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell.  Prince Andrew's legal team is weighing whether to call one of the accusers who testified as a prosecution witness during Maxwell's trial to help in his civil case, legal sources told the outlet.

Ghislaine Maxwell convicted in Epstein sex abuse case.  The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.  The verdict capped a month[-]long trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at Epstein's palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Trafficking Trial Could Set New Legal Standard For Willful Ignorance.  The federal sex-trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell could set a legal precedent for defendants accused of willfully turning a blind eye to sexual crimes against children.  The prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein's accused accomplice in a New York federal courtroom opened with media proclamations of the "trial of the century" and unfolded with prosecutors presenting salacious accusations and defense attorneys offering contradictory testimonies.  But the biggest legal bombshell may have come during the judge's instructions to the jury.  U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan gave the green light for the jury to find Maxwell guilty if jurors believed she "consciously avoided" knowledge of Epstein's sexual encounters with teen-age girls.  The judge based her decision on the defense team's opening argument that Maxwell was unaware of Epstein's sexual crimes.  In other words, Maxwell's defense could be the tipping point for her conviction if the jury relies upon the judge's instructions.

Why Julian Assange fears being 'Epsteined'.  If America's so free and fair, why is Julian Assange, innocent under natural law, so terrified of being extradited to the USA?  And why must journalist Glenn Greenwald live abroad, after heroically helping whistleblower Edward Snowden, now safely ensconced in Russia?  American heroes living abroad for fear of the American Security State?  Time perhaps to shut up about China?  In 2010, Snowden had shared internal NSA documents with Mr. Greenwald, the guardian of American freedoms at the British Guardian newspaper.  Facilitated by Greenwald, Snowden divulged that the National Security Agency boasted of having "direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple, Yahoo, PalTalk, YouTube in 2010; Skype and AOL, and other servers."  It transpired that, contrary to what you'd been told by officials under oath, "the world's largest surveillance organization" can and does "obtain targeted communications without having to request them from the service providers and without having to obtain individual court orders."

"An Acquittal Wouldn't Surprise Me": Lawyers Ask Why Just Four Epstein Accusers Were Called During Maxwell Trial.  Now that the Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking trial is in the hands of the jury, lawyers representing some of Epstein's accusers are asking why just four victims were called by prosecutors (led by the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey).  "They had a mountain of evidence that they could have brought," said attorney Adam Horowitz, who has represented several Epstein victims, noting that the prosecution "had a very difficult burden and didn't seem to put on as much evidence forward as I thought they would have."  Maxwell, who was Epstein's former girlfriend an subordinate, has been charged with grooming and enticing underage girls for sexual abuse by the convicted pedophile and his friends.  He was found dead in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial for sex-trafficking, according to Bloomberg.

Evidence from Jeffrey Epstein's safe 'went missing' after FBI raid, court hears in Ghislaine Maxwell trial.  An FBI special agent testified to a New York court in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking trial on Monday that evidence "went missing" from Jeffrey Epstein's New York townhouse while authorities were waiting on a warrant.  Special Agent Kelly Maguire recalled how CDs and other items were recovered by the FBI from a locked safe during an initial search of the Manhattan home on July 6 and July 7, 2019, after Epstein's arrest on sex assault charges.  The FBI agent said officers broke open the safe with a saw, finding the CDs, jewellery, computer hard drives, "loose diamonds", passports and "large amounts of US currency."  They took photographs of the items, but left them at the residence as they did not have the warrant to remove them.  When they returned four days later, on July 11, they were no longer there.

The Editor says...
[#1] Why didn't the FBI have a warrant in hand before they started attacking the safe with a saw?  [#2] It takes four days for the FBI to get a warrant?  [#3] If you had a mountain of cash in a safe, and the FBI cut a hole in it, but couldn't legally remove anything from it, wouldn't you take the loot and put it somewhere else?  Of course it "went missing."

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, And The Left's Opposing Narrative.  Jeffrey Epstein, and by extension Ghislaine Maxwell, cavorted with some of the most influential men in the world, and the majority of those men either align with leftist ideals or outright represent them.  And while they were doing so, Epstein and perhaps his fellow cavorters were having sex with children.  The most implicated and famous Epstein associate is, of course, Bill "Slick Willie" Clinton, who traveled with Epstein on his hedonistic Lolita Express dozens of times, though there's no direct evidence that Clinton participated in the shenanigans.  Yet. [...] For our mainstream media, the problem with the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell is that it doesn't fit any of their narratives.  In fact, it contradicts them.  A story about a QAnon devotee fits their narrative that everyone right of center is a complete whack job and belongs in prison.  A story about voter fraud normally would contradict their storyline that the phenomenon doesn't exist, but if it involves a trio in a conservative state, then it works just fine.  But the Ghislaine Maxwell Trial?  Oh no, that's off limits.

Here's Why You Aren't Allowed to Watch the Ghislaine Maxwell Trial.  The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the socialite who stands accused of procuring young girls for the sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, began last week.  Though the mainstream media has not focused as heavily on this case as other high-profile trials in recent months, the proceedings have certainly not been forgotten by the general public.  But much to the chagrin of that public, the trial will not be filmed.  Some have even painted this fact in a conspiratorial light, a tint that has surrounded much of the story around Epstein, his death, and now Maxwell's trial.  More specifically, many believe high-ranking officials across multiple governments and celebrities were caught up in the sex ring Epstein allegedly ran, and that the powers that be within our government are invested in preventing these details from coming to light.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Tracker Twitter Account Did Not Kill Itself.  Federal courts are not televised (for reasons that are not good enough, in my opinion).  Because of that, the trial of Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, is being held behind closed doors.  Everyone knows that this is better for the powers that be, but we aren't allowed to talk about it.  And speaking of the things we aren't allowed to say, the Twitter account with half a million followers called @TrackerTrial got suspended for... well, we're not sure... but you know.

Twitter Blacklists Account Providing Updates on Ghislaine Maxwell Trial.  Twitter has blacklisted an account posting courtroom updates from the trial of Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is accused of sex trafficking minors.  The popular account's suspension comes amid a wide-ranging purge of anonymous accounts from new CEO Parag Agrawal's platform.  An account set up to monitor the investment portfolio of house speaker Nancy Pelosi following insider trading allegations was also taken down.

Jeffrey Epstein visited Clinton White House at least 17 times: report.  Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times in the early years of President Bill Clinton's administration, according to a new report published Thursday [12/2/2021].  Visitor logs show the wealthy convicted pedophile — who died from an apparent suicide in his jail cell in 2019 — even visited the Clinton White House twice on the same day three different times, The Daily Mail reported.  In one visit on Sept. 29, 1993, Epstein attended an event where he and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell were photographed alongside Clinton after the financier donated $10,000 to help renovate the building.  It's not clear if Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell in 2019, actually met or interacted with Clinton during his other visits, and the former president wasn't in the building for at least a few of Epstein's trips there, the Mail said.

Jeffrey Epstein's access to the Clinton White House laid bare.  Jeffrey Epstein's access to the Clinton White House has been laid bare by visitor logs exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, which reveal the pedophile visited at least 17 times during the former president's first few years in office.  Epstein, who died in 2019, visited Bill Clinton at the Executive Mansion over the course of three years with the first invitation coming just a month after his inauguration in January 1993.  The logs show the late financier showed up on 14 separate days, even making two visits in a single day on three different occasions.  Epstein was invited by some of Clinton's most senior advisers and aides, including one who later served as Treasury Secretary, according to records.

Bill Clinton traveled with Ghislaine Maxwell, per Secret Service documents:  Report.  Former President Bill Clinton took a trip with Ghislaine Maxwell to India in 2003, according to Secret Service records obtained by Judicial Watch.  The conservative watchdog filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking for information regarding trips the 42nd President may have taken with the British socialite.  Maxwell was a close friend to the now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and is currently on trial for sex trafficking.  The November 2003 records consist of emails that depict Maxwell's and Clinton's travel plans from "Agra, India to Los Angeles, CA (via Japan for fuel stop)."

As Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Opens — FAA Accidentally Reveals Over 700 Previous Unknown Jeffrey Epstein Flights.  As the trial for Ghislaine Maxwell opens, the Federal Aviation Administration accidentally revealed data on over 700 previous unknown Jeffrey Epstein flights on private jets.  Maxwell is known for her close association with financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in New York City.  According to Insider, the records reveal 704 previously unknown flights taken by Epstein's planes.  These include hundreds of trips from a three-year gap in the public record, from 2013 to 2016, when the jets' movements were unaccounted for.

James Comey's Daughter Is Lead Prosecutor On Accused Epstein.  Former FBI Director James Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, will serve as lead prosecutor in the sex-trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite accused of serving as a madam for deceased accused child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.  Ms. Comey had also served as part of a team of federal prosecutors in the Epstein case. [...] Is there an issue with having a member of a partisan family serving as prosecutor for a sex-trafficking trial with players linked to numerous high-profile names — many of whom are Democrats?  For instance, former President Bill Clinton, the husband of the younger Comey's preference for President, had traveled on Epstein's jet — known as the 'Lolita Express' — 26 separate times, according to a Fox News analysis.  Other analyses of flight logs led to claims of fewer trips, but there is no denying he traveled on the plane.

James Comey's daughter is a lead prosecutor in Ghislaine Maxwell's child sex trafficking case.  Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have brought plenty of familiar faces along with them into the spotlight, including Prince Andrew and former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.  But one newcomer is 32-year-old Maurene Comey.  The daughter of former FBI director James Comey, Maurene Comey is one of the three lead prosecutors on the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, whose child sex-trafficking trial is scheduled to begin Monday. [...] She was also one of the lead prosecutors in the case against Jeffrey Epstein before he killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial.

Ghislane Maxwell's Attorney Refers to "Former Astronaut Senator" Who Flew on Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express.  On the first day of the federal sex trafficking trial of former Jeffrey Epstein "madame" Ghislane Maxwell, defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim referred to a former astronaut turned US Senator who had flown on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous "Lolita Express" private plane.  [Tweets]  There are five astronauts who later became US Senators, and more who have been elected to the House of Representatives.  This list includes now-deceased John Glenn (R-OH), Harrison "Jack" Schmitt (R-NM), Jake Garn, (R-UT), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), the latter being the only among the small group currently serving in the Senate.  Sternheim didn't elaborate on which specific Senator had traveled with Epstein.  All four men had flown in space and obtained fame and publicity by the time Epstein began his trafficking operations in earnest in the 1990's.  Nelson was defeated by Republican Rick Scott in the 2018 midterms.  None of the men are known Epstein associates.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Trial.  [Scroll down]  Will justice be done?  Ask the victims.  The main perpetrator, Jeffrey Epstein, was given a sweetheart deal by state and federal authorities — until he killed himself (allegedly) awaiting trial.  Maxwell's co-conspirators haven't been charged.  What questions are still unanswered?  The extent of Epstein's relationship with the US Government.  Vicky Ward of Rolling Stone was told that "Epstein's dealings in the arms world in the 1980s had led him to work for multiple governments, including the Israelis."  Ward's sources said that Epstein "was known in the intelligence world as a 'hyper-fixer,' somebody who can go between different cultures and networks."  Jeffrey Epstein himself was alleged to have said he "worked for the government to recover stolen funds."  What Epstein did for the US Government (and perhaps other governments) is the question the press ignores and the government doesn't want answered.

James Comey's daughter is a lead prosecutor in Ghislaine Maxwell's child sex trafficking case.  Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have brought plenty of familiar faces along with them into the spotlight, including Prince Andrew and former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.  But one newcomer is 32-year-old Maurene Comey.  The daughter of former FBI director James Comey, Maurene Comey is one of the three lead prosecutors on the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, whose child sex-trafficking trial is scheduled to begin Monday.  Despite her father's history of dominating the news cycle, Maurene Comey has largely stayed out of the spotlight, instead maintaining a low-profile presence.  But she's taken on major cases before Maxwell's trial, including the prosecution of Natalie Edwards, a self-proclaimed Treasury Department whistleblower; and Robert Hadden, a gynecologist accused of sexually abusing dozens of young women.  She was also one of the lead prosecutors in the case against Jeffrey Epstein before he killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial.

Ghislaine Maxwell trial: media ignoring the case, hiding it from the public.  Is it fixed?  Epstein didn't kill himself... let's be real.  We all know what's up.  The powers that be have lots of Pedos, and they have billions and will kill if needed to protect themselves.  Money here, money there, gets many executives to shut up and toe the line.  Or else.  [Video clip]

American CEO of Barclays Jes Staley resigns after probe into Epstein ties.  The American boss of one of Britain's biggest banks announced his resignation on Monday [11/1/2021] following an investigation into his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.  Barclays and its chief executive Jes Staley, 64, learned "the preliminary conclusions" of the investigation by Britain's Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority on Friday evening, the bank said.  "In view of those conclusions, and Mr. Staley's intention to contest them, the Board and Mr. Staley have agreed that he will step down from his role as Group Chief Executive and as a director of Barclays," the bank said Monday.

Revealed: Virginia's Democratic Governor candidate Terry McAuliffe received $200,000 in donations from private equity billionaire Ron Burkle.  A billionaire associate of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton, whose private jet was nicknamed [...] has donated $200,000 to Terry McAuliffe's campaign to become Democratic governor of Virginia during the past year, according to new financial filings.  They reveal that private equity Ron Burkle, who bought Michael Jackson's former Neverland ranch last year, made a $100,000 donation in September.  That comes on top of a $100,000 contribution at the end of last year, according to data published by the Virginia Department of Elections[.]

A few words about conspiracy theories.  Conspiracy theories are a mixed bag.  Many are outright crazy, colorfully so.  However, some others actually have substance.  Today, what is often labeled a conspiracy theory is nothing more than something the ruling class finds uncomfortable being discussed.  Using their wealth and influence, the elite direct government agencies and their media stooges to ridicule and lambaste any debate that puts them in a bad light.  That's the reality we live in.  Consider this.  A number of conspiracy theories have been floating around from, say, the 1960s. [...] Here's a recent example to make the point.  Remember the "straight-shooting conservative" Bill Barr?  He said that after a "thorough" investigation, his Justice Department determined Jeffrey Epstein's "definitely" committed suicide in his heavily guarded cell at Rikers Island in 2019.  The media accepted that as the "official" version, and now to refute it labels you a conspiracy theorist.  I ask you, is there room to doubt here?

Bill Gates Gives a Super Cringe Answer When Confronted About His Ties to Jeffrey Epstein.  Bill Gates has admitted that it was a "huge mistake" to have ties with Jeffrey Epstein.  Weeks after the extent of those ties became public, the Microsoft founder does not have many answers for inquiring minds — many convincing answers, at least.  In a Tuesday [9/21/2021] interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS, Gates appeared to be caught off-guard by a series of questions relating to Epstein.

Epstein Bombshell:  Feds Ordered to Name Ghislaine Maxwell's Alleged Co-Conspirators.  As Ghislaine Maxwell's trial on sex trafficking nears, federal prosecutors have been ordered to reveal the two currently unnamed alleged co-conspirators who will testify at her trial.  Maxwell, a British socialite, has been charged with procuring underage girls to be abused by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was facing sex trafficking charges at the time of his 2019 death in a Manhattan jail.  Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to a sex trafficking conspiracy charge and an additional sex trafficking charge lodged against her.  Maxwell, 59, has been in custody at a federal prison in Brooklyn since her arrest in July of 2020.

Court Orders Feds to Disclose Identities of Ghislaine Maxwell's "Unnamed Co-Conspirators".  A federal judge ordered the feds to disclose the identities of Ghislaine Maxwell's "unnamed co-conspirators."  Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime pal of Bill Clinton, is currently in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York awaiting trial.  Maxwell worked as Jeffrey Epstein's pimp for years and the DOJ knew they were running girls as young as 12 but they refused to act.  Last month Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe asked US District Judge Alison Nathan, an Obama appointee, to mask the names.

Judge orders Ghislaine Maxwell to turn over secret documents on Clintons.  A judge ordered Ghislaine Maxwell to turn over a trove of secretive documents in the next two weeks, including financial records revealing the "funding received from the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation."  The documents were originally filed in connection with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, an alleged Jeffery Epstein victim, who sued Maxwell for defamation in 2015.  Giuffre claims she was held hostage as Epstein and Maxwell's "sex slave" and trafficked for years.

What Was the Real Relationship Between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates?  As the world now knows, one of the more surprising names to have popped up around Jeffrey Epstein is Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.  It's been widely reported that Gates had flown on Epstein's plane at least once, and visited his home multiple times — but the depth of their relationship is not fully known, and more details are emerging.  The media is rife with speculation that one cause of Gates' recent divorce from his wife Melinda was his relationship with Epstein.  When asked about how they met, a spokesperson for the Gates Foundation told me that many people encouraged Gates to meet with Epstein, suggesting that Epstein would help bring funds into the software entrepreneur's famed philanthropic organization.

Bill Gates acknowledges 'several dinners' with Jeffrey Epstein.  Bill Gates acknowledged having "several" meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in prison, that he says he now regrets.  The Microsoft co-founder was asked to explain his relationship with Epstein, a wealthy financier, and what concerns he had during an interview Wednesday on CNN.  "I had several dinners with him, you know, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge," Gates told anchor Anderson Cooper.  "When it looked like that wasn't a real thing, that relationship ended, but it was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of, you know, being there.  There were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake," he added.

Bill Gates admits it was a 'huge mistake' to spend time with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and share 'several dinners'.  Bill Gates admitted on Wednesday [8/4/2021] that it was a 'huge mistake' to spend time with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and revealed that they shared 'several dinners.'  Gates, 65, also revealed that his divorce from ex-wife Melinda French Gates 'was a source of great personal sadness' for the Microsoft co-founder in an extensive and wide-ranging interview with Anderson Cooper on his CNN show.  Gates' relationship with Epstein dates back to 2011 but it became a point of contention in September 2013 between him and Melinda — who has been said to have been concerned about his relationship with the convicted pedophile.

Bill Clinton flew with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell at least TWO additional times.  A new report today [7/15/2021] sheds new light on the dealing of Ghislaine Maxwell and the Clinton family during the 2000s.  Bill saw Maxwell as a middleman to Epstein, but in return she saw a chance to grow more independently from Jeffrey's world.  What today's news boils down to is that there were more than the 26 flights aboard Epstein's "Lolita Express" jet that happened.  The Daily Mail explained it all, breaking down the newest details from the 'Chasing Ghislaine' broadcast by Vicky Ward.  It's described that the relationship between Maxwell and Clinton was somewhat independent.  While Ghislaine was indeed the middleman between Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein, she also began being her own woman in the 2000s.

Ghislaine Maxwell used Bill Clinton to 'escape' from her 'sick partnership' with Jeffrey Epstein.  Bill Clinton took two trips with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein — including one on the pedophile's private jet — that have not been previously disclosed.  A new podcast reveals that the former President flew on Epstein's jet, which was dubbed the 'Lolita Express', in February 2005 while visiting Japan, Taiwan and China.  Clinton also flew on a private jet owned by billionaire Ron Burkle with Maxwell as a passenger during a trip to India in November 2003.  That visit was part of Clinton's work with the Clinton Foundation, his philanthropic initiative, to lower the cost of AIDS drugs.

John McAfee referenced Jeffrey Epstein in suicide tweet last year.  Software tycoon John McAfee, who died from an apparent suicide in a Spanish jail cell Wednesday, sent a cryptic tweet last year that if he was found hanged behind bars like Jeffrey Epstein, "it would be no fault of mine."  "I am content in here.  I have friends," the eccentric entrepreneur tweeted on Oct. 15.  "The food is good.  All is well."  "Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine."  McAfee, 75, was found hanging in his Barcelona cell Wednesday, just hours after a Spanish court ruled that he would be extradited to the US to face federal tax evasion charges.

The Editor says...
At the moment, I don't know of any connection between John McAfee and the Clintons, or between Mr. McAfee and Jeffrey Epstein.  However, it is odd that Mr. McAfee and Mr. Epstein ostensibly died in the same manner, right under the guards' noses, whether or not for the same reasons.  Also the security cameras failed at exactly the wrong time, by sheer coincidence, as they often do in cases like this.  For example, the alleged suicide of Jean-Luc Brunel, the recent mass shooting in a New York City subway, the still-unexplained Las Vegas mass shooting a few years ago, the 9/11/2001 attack at the Pentagon, and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.  In the Oklahoma City case, the cameras worked, but all the footage was recorded on video cassettes, which were all rounded up and then "lost" by the FBI.  Exploration of the John McAfee rabbit trail is left to the reader as an exercise: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]

Guard Dooty.  To the shock of legal scholars, it turns out that Justice isn't necessarily blind after all — it may just be asleep, playing computer solitaire, or watching porn during working hours.  At least, that's how it seems when we consider the jaw-dropping news that the two prison guards (both of whom could interview Lori Lightfoot, if you catch our drift) who were supposed to be keeping suicide watch on Jeffrey Epstein on the night of his death were actually sleeping, playing on computers, and generally doing anything other than their simple but important jobs.  And then they falsified legal documents about their activities.  For which, they're striking a plea deal that won't punish them at all, other than to give them each 100 hours of community service which will likely consist of sleeping, playing computer solitaire, watching porn, then signing false statements that say they were picking up litter next to highways.

Epstein guards to skirt jail time in deal with prosecutors.  The prison workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, were accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of monitoring Epstein the night he took his own life in August 2019.  They were charged with lying on prison records to make it seem as though they had made required checks on the financier before he was found in his cell.  New York City's medical examiner ruled Epstein's death a suicide.  As part of the deal with prosecutors, they will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department and will serve no time behind bars, according to a letter from federal prosecutors that was filed in court papers Friday.

The Editor says...
Aside from sleeping on the job and cruising the internet, apparently for some number of hours, while Epstein died (one way or another), did these two guards go back and destroy the surveillance video?  Does anyone believe that two surveillance cameras coincidentally "malfunctioned?"  (Wouldn't somebody have checked the cameras at the time Mr. Epstein was brought in?)  Were there no supervisory guards to check up on these two?  Was everybody unaware that they had charge of the highest-profile inmate in the country?  And the biggest question of all:  How many more employees in that building are just as incompetent as Tova Noel and Michael Thomas — and are still working there?

Epstein jail guards get plea deal:  No jail, 100 hours of community service.  If there was a conspiracy to assassinate a man who knew compromising information about the power elite, two of the lowest-level conspirators are getting away with no jail time.  The two prison guards who allowed Jeffrey Epstein to die with nobody checking up on his safety (despite having been on suicide watch) are getting a slap on their wrists:  100 hours of community service and six months of pretrial supervision.  This seems a very light penalty, considering that they falsified documents attesting to their carrying out the duties that they neglected, and the profound consequences of their perjurious neglect of duty.  Public confidence in the integrity of the Bureau of Prisons and the entire justice system has been tanked.  There is a faint ray of hope, however.

Epstein guards admit to falsifying records, will skirt jail time in deal with prosecutors.  The two jail employees tasked with guarding pedophile Jeffrey Epstein the night of his suicide in a Manhattan jail have admitted to falsifying records — but will skirt time behind bars under a deal with prosecutors.  Tova Noel and Michael Thomas admitted that they "willfully and knowingly" lied on forms stating that they'd made the required rounds checking on inmates the night of Epstein's August 2019 suicide[.]  Prosecutors said the guards were sleeping and surfing the web when they should have been monitoring the maximum security federal prisoner, who had recently been on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.  Under a plea deal announced Friday [5/21/2021], they will avoid jail time in connection with their misconduct.

French modeling agent arrested in Jeffrey Epstein investigation.  A French modeling agent has been arrested in Paris as part of an investigation by the city's prosecutor's office connected to accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.  Jean-Luc Brunel was arrested at Charles de Gaulle Airport on Wednesday, according to prosecutor's office.  He was taken into custody on "counts of rape and sexual assault, rape and sexual assault on a minor under 15, rape and sexual assault on a minor over 15, sexual harassment, criminal associations and human trafficking to the detriment of minor victims for the purposes of sexual exploitation," the Paris prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Jeffrey Epstein took Bill Gates to meet the head of Norway's Nobel Committee that awards the Peace Prize.  What sort of goals would make it worthwhile to hang out with a convicted child sex offender if you are a megalomaniac billionaire?  The curious case of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates just got curiouser.  Anonymous sources, denials, millions of dollars in donations, and claims of lies surround a 2013 visit of Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein to the Strasbourg home of the then-chairman of Norway's Nobel Committee, which awards the Peace Prize.  The visit was uncovered by Norwegian business daily DN, whose sister publication describes in English the visit and its denial: [...]

Melinda Gates 'warned Bill about Jeffrey Epstein in 2013'.  Melinda Gates reportedly warned Bill Gates to stay away from Jeffrey Epstein after the pair met with the convicted sex offender in New York back in 2013.  The couple, who announced their divorce earlier this week, are reported to have met with Epstein at his Upper East Side mansion in September 2013, according to a report in The Daily Beast.  Speaking to the outlet in the wake of the divorce news, sources close to the couple said that Ms Gates was "furious" at her husband for meeting with Epstein, and remains "haunted" by the encounter.

The Wall Street Journal hints that Bill Gates has a Jeffrey Epstein problem.  I ignored the story that Bill and Melinda Gates are getting a divorce.  Their personal life holds no interest for me, although I care that Bill Gates is having an outsize say in both the climate change debate and in the response to COVID.  His skills as a computer programmer and his genius as a shark, scooping up other people's creations, do not make him qualified to weigh in on the climate or COVID.  But as I said, his personal life was a "meh" — that is, right until the Wall Street Journal hinted that Bill Gates's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein led directly to his divorce.  It's been public information for a long time that Bill Gates met Epstein several times beginning in 2011. [...] In any event, the point I'm making is that it's not news that the famously eccentric-to-the-point-of-weird Bill Gates knew Epstein surprisingly well.  It's not even news that Melinda Gates warned her husband as early as 2013 against pursuing an acquaintance with Epstein.  What's new is the connection between the divorce and Bill's hanging with Jeffrey.

'Furious' Melinda Gates Warned Bill Over Jeffrey Epstein Escapades:  Report.  Melinda Gates, whose 'people' are undoubtedly trying to distance her from Bill's controversies, was reportedly 'furious' after the couple had an uncomfortable 2013 meeting with Jeffrey Epstein — who by then was a convicted pedophile.  People 'familiar with the matter' tell the Daily Beast, the previously unreported meeting was held at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in September, 2013, the same day the couple was awarded the Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service award at the Pierre Hotel, where they were photographed with then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg.  According to said 'people', the 2013 meeting would "prove a turning point for the Gates' relationship with Epstein,' with Melinda telling friends after the encounter how uncomfortable she was to be hanging around the wealthy sex offender.

New photos show Epstein and Maxwell were VIP guests in Clinton's White House.  Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were once White House guests of former President Bill Clinton, new pictures prove.  The images were published by The Sun, days after Maxwell's last court appearance on sex trafficking charges in Manhattan, related to her alleged procurement of underage rape victims for the convicted pedophile.  The disgusting duo were invited to the White House in 1993, after Epstein reportedly donated money to have the Oval Office refurbished.  They toured the East Room and the presidential residence during a reception, the paper reported.  The pictures expand the timeline of Clinton's involvement with Epstein and Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach Estate Has Been Demolished.  The Florida mansion where prosecutors say Jeffrey Epstein raped underage girls and women for many years has "finally" been demolished.  Developer Todd Michael Glaser said the sprawling Palm Beach property met the wrecking ball on Monday, according to a report in the Palm Beach Daily News.  Glaser bought 358 El Brillo Way for $18.5 million in March, and announced his plans to raze the property.  The funds from the sale have been allocated to the Victims' Compensation Program to make payments to Epstein's victims, [...]

Unsealed Records detail FBI/DOJ Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell cover-up.  Today [4/16/2021], the DOJ published records unsealed by court order in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.  These included a motion and numerous exhibits detailing what the FBI/DOJ — and in particular, the Southern District of New York — knew about the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell back in 2016.  Recall that Epstein was given a sweetheart deal back in 2007.  Notes from a meeting in 2016 [...] reveal that a "US Attorney has said [Epstein] could be prosecuted elsewhere."  They failed to act for years, however.

Ghislaine Maxwell is hit with TWO new counts of conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor from a fourth accuser.  Prosecutors have charged Ghislaine Maxwell with two new counts from a fourth underage accuser — and warned they were going after her $22.5 m[illion] fortune.  The British socialite was charged with sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor related to a woman who claims she first met Maxwell when she was 14.  According to a 'superseding indictment' that includes previous charges, Maxwell paid the girl hundreds of dollars to give Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages and even sent her lingerie.

Ghislaine Maxwell Charged With Sex Trafficking.  This has been a long time coming.  Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as Jeffrey Epstein's massage scheduler and procurer of young girls, has been charged with sex trafficking of a 14-year-old. [...] It's a sign of how disgusting this case is that even knowing a 14-year-old is the victim doesn't really narrow things down very much.  According to the Guardian this is a new accuser who was brought into Epstein's orbit by Maxwell.

Leon Black unexpectedly quits Apollo investment firm after Epstein inquiry.  Billionaire Leon Black, co-founder of one of Wall Street's most prominent investment firms, unexpectedly stepped down early from his position as chief executive of Apollo Global Management on Monday [3/22/2021], the latest in a series of moves following an inquiry into his ties to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.  Apollo Global Management announced that Black will be leaving immediately, citing health issues he and his wife are experiencing.  The company had announced in January that Black would be stepping down as chief executive before 31 July.  Black will also no longer be keeping his role as chairman, a role he was planning to keep when his departure was first announced in January.

The Ghislaine Maxwell Case And The Ongoing(?) Investigations Of Epstein's Co-Conspirators.  Ghislaine Maxwell remains in jail, awaiting trial for charges including (1) conspiracy to entice/transport minors to engage in illegal sexual acts; (2) transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sex acts; and (3) perjury.  She doesn't yet have a trial date and sits (or, as Maxwell would say, suffers) in jail as the the case continues. [...] Maxwell is currently fighting this war on multiple fronts.  The first has to do with dismissal.  As we previously reported, she is trying to get the charges dropped.  One of her best arguments (read her motion to dismiss on Scribd) is that the Epstein plea deal precludes her prosecution.

Clinton Aide Doug Band Flips, Implicates Boss in Pedophile Ring Probe.  Bill Clinton's aide Doug Band has flipped on his former boss and implicated Clinton in a federal pedophile ring investigation.  Band, 48, provided Justice Department officials with evidence that could land Bill Clinton in trouble amid the ongoing child sex trafficking investigation involving Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.  Band was recently interviewed by Gabriel Sherman for Vanity Fair's December issue.  In addition to detailing his ties to the pedophile billionaire and Epstein's child fixer Ghislaine Maxwell, he also confirmed that the 42nd president of the United States visited Epstein on "Pedophile Island."

The same story is covered here, but the original reports, which were here and here, have been quickly removed.  All of this is an off-shoot from information in a Vanity Fair interview, which can be found here.

Apollo Global CEO Leon Black paid sex predator Jeffrey Epstein $158M for financial advice after conviction.  Apollo Global Management CEO Leon Black paid child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein $158 million for financial advice from 2012 through 2017, despite knowing Epstein pleaded guilty to sexually abusing an underage girl in 2008, a probe by a law firm retained by Apollo has found.  Those newly disclosed payments are a whopping three times more than the minimum of $50 million in payments Black was reported in October to have made to the controversial money manager Epstein during that time frame.  But Apollo also said that the investigation by the law firm Dechert found no wrongdoing by Black or by the investment company.  However, Black said he will retire as CEO by the end of July.

Attorney General William Barr personally questioned Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate after his suicide: source.  Attorney General William Barr personally questioned the last inmate to share a cell with Jeffrey Epstein before the perv died by suicide, a source told the [New York] Daily News.  The multimillionaire sex offender was found hanging from cloth tied to a bed frame early on Aug. 10, 2019, rocking the highest levels of the Justice Department.  Investigators' attention turned to Efrain "Stone" Reyes, who had been transferred out of a cell he shared with Epstein the day before the shocking suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan.  Reyes' niece and other sources previously told the Daily News that Reyes was moved to the privately run Queens Detention Facility, which holds cooperating witnesses.

Attorney Lin Wood Unleashes on Justice John Roberts, Calls For His Resignation.  On Thursday [12/17/2020], pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood unleashed on Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, calling for his immediate resignation.  "This may be most important tweet of my life," Wood started.  "Chief Justice John Roberts is corrupt & should resign immediately.  Justice Stephen Breyer should also resign immediately.  They are "anti-Trumpers" dedicated to preventing public from knowing TRUTH of @realDonaldTrump re-election."  Wood also questioned whether or not Roberts had visited pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's island.  "I have long had questions about "the John Roberts" on Jeffrey Epstein private jet flight logs," he added in another tweet.

Ghislaine Maxwell and her husband offer $28.5 million bail package.  Jeffrey Epstein's accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell has proposed a $28.5 million bail package — that represents all of her and her husband's assets — in a desperate bid to spring her from federal lockup, according to a new motion unsealed Monday [12/14/2020].  The suggested package is "exceptional in its scope and puts at risk everything that Ms. Maxwell has — all of her and her spouse's assets, her family's livelihood, and the financial security of her closest friends and family — if she were to flee, which she has no intention of doing," wrote her lawyer Mark Cohen.  Although her spouse's name is redacted from the documents, his identity has been widely reported as tech CEO Scott Borgerson.  The package is composed of a $22.5 million bond co-signed by her and her husband, according to the motion that was filed under seal on Dec. 4.

Ghislaine Maxwell to offer $30M bail, will finally admit she's married: reports.  Ghislaine Maxwell will propose a nearly $30 million bail package in hopes of getting sprung from a Brooklyn lockup — and will finally admit she's a married woman, according to reports.  The accused Jeffrey Epstein madam is expected to go to court in the coming days in a bid to be freed before Christmas, the Telegraph first reported.  Roughly $25 million of the hefty package will be backed by Maxwell's rumored husband, tech CEO Scott Borgerson — whose identity the British heiress refused to reveal at an initial bail hearing over the summer.  The upcoming bail application will be the first time Maxwell will publicly acknowledge she is married, ABC News reported.

Warden won't testify about Ghislaine Maxwell's jail conditions: judge.  The warden of the Manhattan Detention Complex will not be testifying about Ghislaine Maxwell's "onerous" prison conditions, a judge ruled Tuesday [12/8/2020].  Defense lawyers for the British socialite have repeatedly asked US District Judge Alison Nathan to summon Warden Heriberto Tellez to provide an accounting of their client's alleged mistreatment — but the request was formally denied.  Maxwell has complained in court filings about being awoken every 15 minutes by a flashlight to ensure she's still alive, 24/7 video surveillance, frequent strip searches and an inadequate diet that has led to weight and hair loss.  Lawyers for the Brooklyn federal jail have insisted that the terms of her confinement are reasonable and that she has been well cared for.

Whoops:  Bill Clinton's Former 'Body Man' Drops Big News About Clinton and Epstein Island.  In the middle of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal last year, information came out that one of Epstein's victims had seen former president Bill Clinton on Little St.  James Island, the island that has come to be known simply as "Epstein's Island."  But Bill Clinton denied that he had ever been on the island.  Not only that, but he tried to downplay the number of times he'd been on Epstein's plane.  Clinton's spokesperson said he'd only taken "4 trips" without explaining that within the "four trips," he'd been on the plane over 25 times, and that's just according to the records that were made public.  But now, Doug Band, one of the people closest to Bill Clinton over the years, first as his body man and then as the guy working on his post-presidency lucrative endeavors, has dropped a big bombshell on those Bill Clinton denials.

2016 Deposition of Epstein Enabler, Ghislaine Maxwell, Released.  The 2016 deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell was released publicly today [pdf here] where she gave evasive answers and denials to key questions about her role in facilitating the activity of her long-time friend and boss Jeffrey Epstein. [...] Within the deposition Ms. Maxwell is combative, evasive and denies any unlawful conduct or wrongdoing when faced with specific questions about her recruitment of under-aged girls to support the sexual exploits of Mr. Epstein and his friends.

Ghislaine Maxwell loses bid to keep her Jeffrey Epstein testimony from public view.  A federal appeals court on Monday [10/19/2020] issued a ruling upholding a U.S. District Judge's earlier decision to make public Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein.  The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued the ruling that upheld a previous decision by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska to permit the release of documents related to a 2015 lawsuit from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.  The lawsuit was settled in 2017.

I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's Little Black Book.  Jeffrey Epstein's little black book is one of the most cursed documents ever compiled in this miserable, dying country.  Totaling 97 pages and containing the names, numbers, and addresses of a considerable cross section of the global elite, Epstein's personal contact book first turned up in a courtroom in 2009 after his former butler, Alfredo Rodriguez, tried to sell it to lawyers representing Epstein's victims for $50,000. Rodriguez described the book, apparently assembled by Epstein's employees, as the "Holy Grail." [...] I made close to 2,000 phone calls total.  I spoke to billionaires, CEOs, bankers, models, celebrities, scientists, a Kennedy, and some of Epstein's closest friends and confidants.  I sat on my couch and phoned up royalty, spoke to ambassadors, irritated a senior adviser at Blackstone, and left squeaky voicemails for what must constitute a considerable percentage of the world oligarchy.

Bill Clinton secretly met Ghislaine Maxwell for 'intimate dinner': report.  Bill Clinton secretly met socialite-turned-accused sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell for an "intimate" dinner in 2014 — well after allegations that she and perv pal Jeffrey Epstein had abused at least one teen, a report said Tuesday [9/22/2020].  The former president joined Maxwell — who is now cooling her heels in a Brooklyn jail cell on charges involving the alleged sex abuse of young women — and a small group of friends for the meal in Los Angeles after a celebrity gala that February, sources told the Daily Beast.  "This is an intimate dinner with Clinton in LA," an aghast source told the Web site.  "Think of all the people [Clinton] knows in LA — and Ghislaine gets to attend."  Another source added that the Clinton camp was relieved news of Maxwell at the dinner didn't get out at the time.

All passengers on Epstein's flight logs to be named 'sparking panic among rich pals'.  The Attorney General for the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a home, has demanded logs for his four helicopters and three planes, from 1998 to his suicide last year.  Denise George has filed a lawsuit against Epstein's estate, alleging 22 counts, including aggravated rape, child abuse and neglect, human trafficking, forced labour and prostitution.  As well as the passenger lists, Ms George is seeking any "complaints or reports of potentially suspicious conduct" and any personal notes the pilots made.

All Passengers on Epstein's Flight Logs to Be Named — Epstein's Rich and Famous Pals Panicking.  The world's rich and famous traveled to and from Jeffrey Epstein's island in the Atlantic for years.  Today the AG for the US Virgin Islands demanded the logs on all flights to and from the island for the past few decades.

Q names pedophile politicians vulnerable to blackmail.  You are not supposed to pay attention to anything published on the website QAnon.  Avert your eyes!  Democrat politicians and their media allies are sharpening their attacks against Q, to make sure as few people as possible read what is published there.  Joe Biden, a man fond of touching little girls, recently opined that Q followers should seek counseling for their mental health. [...] Maybe Q is all wrong.  But when the combined forces of the mainstream media and Democrats tell us to avert our eyes, absolute obedience may be a mistake. [...] Jeffrey Epstein's story has helped to awaken people to some of the elite's crimes.  The mysterious temple on Epstein's island hints at possible future revelations that are frightening in their scope.  Q followers believe that The Cult engages in ritual practices that enshrine the shedding of blood and which prey on the innocence of children.  The sickness in their souls thrives on brutality, war, and terror.  These disclosures will be tough for the public to take.

Epstein Reportedly Had Secret 'Lair' at Famed Art School in Michigan.  Pedo-perv Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell didn't just allegedly troll the streets of London, Arizona and New York for their victims.  The dastardly duo had a secret lair on the Michigan grounds of Interlochen Centre for the Arts — the famed fine arts boarding school for children, according to one alleged victim.  In exchange for donations and hosting fundraisers at his New York mansion, the school allowed Epstein to build The Jeffrey Epstein Scholarship Lodge (now available to rent as The Green Lake Lodge).

Epstein Investigation Still Continues, Ghislaine Maxwell May Face More Charges.  It seems that matters might be getting worse for accused Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.  The British socialite who is suspected of helping the convicted child rapist prey on a number of underaged girls has been awaiting trial since her arrest on July 2.  Now, it appears that she might be facing new charges.  According to court documents that were filed on Friday, the investigation into Epstein's sex trafficking operations is still active.  Federal prosecutors revealed this in a letter sent to a judge requesting to prevent her from filing new information in civil cases.  The New York Post reported that the accused accomplice's lawyers stated that this "critical new information" could "jeopardize their ongoing investigation if it is allowed to be filed in the civil cases."

Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew got prestigious job in Hillary Clinton's state dept. shortly after Epstein's first plea, reports say.  New evidence suggests that former President Bill Clinton may not have been the only one in the scandalous family who'd hobnobbed with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his sick crew.  On Thursday [8/20/2020], the celebrity tabloid OK! Magazine published a report claiming Clinton's wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, had once hired the nephew of Epstein's infamous madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, to work at the department.  "Alexander Djerassi, the son of Ghislaine's sister Isabel Maxwell, was gifted a very powerful and prestigious position within her State Department and the US Government," the tabloid reported, citing unnamed sources.  Note the use of the term gifted.  The unsubstantiated allegation was that Ghislaine's nephew, Djerassi, was purposefully hired by Clinton as a gift.

Ghislaine Maxwell's Nephew Worked at Hillary Clinton's State Department.  Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew worked at the State Department under Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, a spokesperson confirmed Friday [8/21/2020]. [...] The revelations come as Maxwell remains jailed in MDC Brooklyn without bail since July 2 following her arrest at her New Hampshire home.  She was charged with enticing minors to engage in illegal sexual activities and faces up to 35 years behind bars if convicted.

Report: Hillary Clinton Hired Ghislaine Maxwell's Nephew For State Department Position.  Earlier this week, the Ghislaine Maxwell story took an interesting turn when a photograph surfaced showing former President Bill Clinton receiving a shoulder massage from Chauntae Davies, one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims.  But now, a new revelation has emerged in this affair, and this time, it involves his wife.  Ok!  Magazine published a report on Thursday stating that Hillary Clinton gave Maxwell's nephew, Alexander Djerassi, an important job in the State Department when she served as Secretary of State.

The Wretched Ghislaine Maxwell, Friend of Bill.  It is the dog days of summer, and so we might as well talk about one of the dogs.  I have in mind Ghislaine Maxwell, the apparent sex maniac who is now accused of all manner of horrendous crimes committed with young girls whom she allegedly trained to be sex slaves for the vile Jeffrey Epstein, who is often called a "billionaire."  Incidentally, I would bet he made his millions — somewhat less than billions — by blackmailing his wealthy friends after catching them in the act with the young girls he provided them.  It is rumored that he had his various habitats installed with hidden cameras and filming equipment.  I doubt the equipment was used to detect burglars, much less the birdlife around his estates.  He used the hidden cameras to detect the wealthy, an occasional prince, a vagrant former president, or a politician in flagrante.  We shall find out eventually.  As you have no doubt seen, the season of discovery is at hand.

The Re-Rehabilitation Of The Clintons.  [Scroll down]  Bill and Hillary receded a little in the party, but reemerged after a while to resume their previous role.  Then came Jeffrey Epstein, their friend and donor.  Bill traveled around the world with the most famous child sexual predator in history.  "Bill only traveled on Epstein's "Lolita Express" for charity causes in Africa," we were told.  The story broke and quickly went away.  Then Epstein "committed suicide" in custody and that was that.  But that wasn't that.  One of Epstein's chief accusers claimed in a court filing that Bill was on the pervert's private island, widely known as "pedophile island."  This fact was immediately ignored by traditional media outlets because it was wildly inconvenient.  That doesn't make it untrue.  I have no idea whether Bill was there or not, nor does anyone else ignoring the claim.  Clinton's spokesman denied it in a short statement and he's not been asked about it (likely won't be).  Hillary has done interviews since then, and Bill's chief enabler hasn't been asked about it either.

Bill Maher: 'It's Possible' Bill Clinton Visited Epstein's Sex Island.  Comedian Bill Maher argued that evidence shows "it's possible" former President Bill Clinton visited convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's sex island where underage girls were offered up to his rich and powerful friends.  Speaking with former Clinton White House adviser Paul Begala on his HBO show "Real Time," Maher discussed the recently unsealed court documents showing that alleged Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre claims to have witnessed Bill Clinton at the island, and that "two young girls" were there also, though the former president's spokesperson has denied the accusation.

Maher, Begala clash on Clinton's alleged visit to Epstein's 'sex island'.  "Real Time" host Bill Maher had an awkward exchange with CNN commentator Paul Begala on Friday night, confronting him about his former boss Bill Clinton and the former president's ties to deceased sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. [...] Last week, a trove of released documents in the court case of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell shed some light on her relationship with Epstein, a wealthy financier who was found hanging in his New York City jail cell last year and was later pronounced dead.  He had been awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.  The documents included records of a 2011 meeting between Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and her lawyers where Giuffre talked about the powerful people in Epstein's orbit who she said either flew on his private Boeing 727 or stayed on his private island in the Caribbean.

That Impermeable Wall Protecting the Clintons May Be Falling:  Bill Maher Grills Paul Begala on Clinton/Epstein.  As we previously reported, the wall that had protected Bill Clinton got a huge dent shoved into it when documents emerged recently from a witness who had been on Jeffrey Epstein's island.  Clinton has denied ever being on the island.  But the documents showed that Virginia Giuffre claims that she saw Bill Clinton in the company of Ghislaine Maxwell, another woman and two young girls.  That's extraordinarily problematic given the allegations against Maxwell involving the procuring of young girls for Epstein and his powerful friends.

Released Epstein Documents Show Monsters Everywhere, Even at the Top of the FBI.  A federal court unsealed court documents related to the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell late Thursday night [7/30/2020].  The contents of them are depressing and disgusting, and the story has of course been completely ignored by the corrupt, mainstream media outlets we have all come to know and detest.  The deposition of one of the underage girls trafficked and abused by the two ghouls shows luminaries like Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz and former president Bill Clinton visiting Epstein's Caribbean island to engage with the victims of this pedophilia ring.  Other documents show that, when one of the victims appealed to the FBI to release some of the evidence to her so she could pursue a civil suit against Epstein, the FBI simply ignored her.  Here is the truly depressing aspect about all of this:  The FBI across two directors — Robert Mueller and James Comey — knew everything Epstein was involved in and gave him a pass, most likely because it was using him and Maxwell as sources for damaging information about the powerful men and women who were his clients.  The revelations about Clinton, Prince Andrew and Dershowitz are nothing new:  I have personally been writing about Clinton and his relationship with Epstein for at least 20 years.

Seven Major October Surprises Awaiting Democrats.  [#1] The Maxwell/Epstein documents.  As I write this, already parts of the documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have revealed testimony that Bill Clinton was, er, "unsupervised" with at least one underage girl at Epstein's "pedophile island."  Clinton, of course, denies it, but he's all over those flight logs like spilled coffee.  The odds are a great deal will come from this.  Alan Dershowitz has already been named in the documents as has former Democrat New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.  There is no way of predicting where, or how deep this goes, except it seems the only person never on the Lolita Express was one, Donald John Trump.

Scandalous 5-word hashtag mega-trending for Bill Clinton chokes media and Dems into utter silence.  Explosive unsealed court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking investigation have caused #BillClintonIsAPedo to trend on Twitter Sunday [8/2/2020], making it the top item in the politics category on the social media network.  Most media outlets have ignored the revelations, which would be massive headline news if a past or present Republican president was implicated in the allegations.  Twitter users jumped on the Epstein-Clinton connection, however, particularly in the context of the media trying to bury the story because it reflects poorly on Clinton specifically and Democrats generally.

Leftist Media Ignores Court Docs Alleging Clinton Visited Epstein Island.  The corporate and left-wing media has largely ignored details in newly released court documents about the Jeffrey Epstein case, in which one of Epstein's victims alleged that former President Bill Clinton was seen on the deceased sex offender's private island in the company of two young girls.  Analysis by the nonpartisan bias-checker Ground News, which tracks coverage of news stories and assigns a "bias rating" to stories based on coverage or lack of coverage from partisan media, found that coverage of the story came mainly from right-wing outlets.  Just five left and left-leaning sources have covered the story, compared to twenty-five right, right-leaning, or "far right" news outlets that have done so.

Here Are The Top Highlights From Ghislaine Maxwell's Unsealed Court Records.  Dozens of exhibits related to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were unsealed Thursday evening, providing insight into allegations against the financier and his purported 'madam,' as well as other high-profile individuals, including Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz and several other people whose names one can only guess (and the internet has).  The documents, related to a 2015 civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, were ordered to be released on July 23 by US District Judge Loretta Preska — which also included flight logs from Epstein's private jets, as well as police reports from the multiple locations where Epstein maintained residences.

Court Docs:  Epstein Allegedly Joked with Victim that Bill Clinton Owed Him 'Favors'.  Thousands of newly unsealed court documents involving Jeffrey Epstein indicate that the late-sex predator joked, according to the testimony of one of his alleged victims, that former President Bill Clinton owed him "favors."  Virginia Roberts Guiffre, one of Epstein's most high-profile victims, told lawyers in 2011 that Clinton was a guest at Epstein's private estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands shortly after leaving the White House.  Guiffre, who was 17-years-old at the time of the visit, claims that Clinton stayed at the estate with "two young girls" from New York.

Court Unseals Documents:  Bill Clinton Alleged to Have Appeared on Epstein's Island.  Documents unsealed by court order Thursday reveal correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and also allege former President Bill Clinton was seen on the private island where Epstein was alleged to have taken underage girls.  Michael Cernovich tweeted excerpts from one of the documents, claiming, "Bill Clinton is implicated by name by one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims as having been at Pedophile Island."

Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein Island, Victim Claims.  Former President Bill Clinton was seen with two women on Jeffrey Epstein's "pedophile island," according to Virgina Roberts.  In newly unsealed documents, Virgina Roberts directly implicated Clinton in an April, 2011 interview.

Alan Dershowitz defends himself after name surfaces in Maxwell, Epstein documents.  Attorney Alan Dershowitz defended himself from sex abuse claims Friday after his name appeared in a slew of unsealed documents related to a since-settled defamation case involving Ghislaine Maxwell.  The emeritus Harvard Law professor was accused of having sex with then-minor "Jane Doe #3" — identified in court documents as Virginia Roberts Giuffre — and witnessing Jeffrey Epstein and others sexually abusing girls and young women.  The allegations, lodged in a 2014 court filing, reemerged in more than 600 pages unsealed Thursday night [7/30/2020] in Giuffre's 2015 defamation case against Maxwell.  Dershowitz claims the document dump exonerates him.

Nets Conspire to Protect Bill Clinton After Bombshell New Epstein Documents.  New documents in the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case dropped late on Thursday with a potential bombshell.  A second person now places Bill Clinton at the pedophile's private sex island.  The three networks on Friday [7/31/2020] devoted a total of 7 minutes and 26 seconds to the case and Ghislaine Maxwell in general, but NEVER mentioned that the former Democratic president has been named.  As Fox News explained, "The data include records of a 2011 meeting between accuser Virginia Giuffre and her lawyers where she talked about the powerful people in Epstein's orbit who she said either flew on his private Boeing 727 or stayed on his private island in the Caribbean.  One of the names mentioned was that of former President Bill Clinton."  Yet, ABC, CBS and NBC explicitly skipped this part of the story.

Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, Bill Richardson and Bill Clinton:  All Named in Epstein Court Documents as Involved With Underage Girls.  [Scroll down]  In 2008, Epstein pled guilty to state charges in Florida for procuring an underage girl for prostitution.  As part of that arrangement, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida agreed to a "Deferred Prosecution Agreement" (DPA) to resolve an indictment on similar charges that had been filed under seal by a Florida grand jury.  If Epstein successfully completed his sentence in the state case, the federal case would be dismissed without further proceedings.  There is nothing "ordinary" about the disposition of the federal case in Florida, and the details of that case are not well known beyond the reporting by the Miami Herald.  But one aspect of the DPA that no one connected to federal law enforcement that I know has ever seen done before is that it supposedly grants immunity to other individuals, including ANY unnamed "potential co-conspirators".  Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys have publicly stated that they intend to assert the language of the DPA as a defense on her behalf in the federal indictment recently returned against her.  It is reported that Alan Dershowitz negotiated the terms of the DPA on Epstein's behalf.  But I have yet to see anyone pose a serious legal argument for how unknown "potential co-conspirators" have any legal standing to assert a claim arising from the DPA on their own behalf.

Judge agrees to postpone release of secret Ghislaine Maxwell files.  A Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday evening agreed to postpone unsealing depositions related to the sex life of Ghislaine Maxwell until the alleged madam can file an appeal.  The order by Judge Loretta Preska will, for two business days, block the release of documents that relate to a deposition Maxwell gave as part of a now-settled civil defamation lawsuit filed against her in 2015 by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.  Preska ordered the documents unsealed in a court hearing last week, but gave Maxwell's legal team a week to file an appeal with the Second Circuit Court.  If the circuit court does not order them to remain sealed, the documents will be made public Monday [8/3/2020], according to Preska's order.

Ghislaine Maxwell Documents Unsealed:  Allegations Against Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Others.  Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers tried to keep x-rated evidence related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein from going public, but a judge denied the appeal and released damning docs on Thursday evening [7/30/2020].  A witness interview revealed Bill Clinton was at Epstein's pedophile island with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and "2 young girls."  The documents discuss allegations that a minor girl was trafficked to Maxwell, Prince Andrew and Attorney Alan Dershowitz (although he has always denied these allegations).

6 Big Takeaways From the Attorney General's Capitol Hill Testimony.  [Scroll down]  Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., has earned a reputation for being a rhetorical bomb thrower, and didn't disappoint at the hearing.  Cohen called both for Barr's impeachment and for seemingly to blame the attorney general for the jailhouse death of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  Cohen said the word "conveniently" in describing Epstein's death, as if to question whether it was really a suicide.

The Establishment Has No Clothes.  America's elite — the world's elite, for that matter — is deeply corrupt.  So much so that it's becoming difficult to understand what makes them elite anymore. [...] John Roberts is the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and a very significant portion of the public believes he is utterly compromised and subject to blackmail.  His rulings quite commonly fuel that perception.  Rumblings in various media organs that Roberts' name appears on the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs only harden the notion that Roberts has been corrupted.  Speaking of Epstein, on Thursday [7/30/2020] the pleadings and discovery from Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit will be made available to the public, and the documents therein are expected to destroy a large number of very prominent figures in finance, entertainment, and politics.  By this point the disclosures can only be seen as "shocking, but not surprising."  Americans have become very used to the idea that the rich and famous in this country are utterly immoral, predatory beings suited more for gossip and outrage than virtue.

McEnany: Trump Maxwell 'Well' Wishes Was Noting Epstein's Mysterious Death — 'The President Wants Justice to Be Served'.  Earlier this week, President Donald Trump caught flak for wishing alleged sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell "well" after he was asked about her case during a news briefing at the White House.  Thursday [7/23/2020] on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was asked about the controversy and said the comment was noting that Jeffrey Epstein "ended up dead in a jail cell" while awaiting trial, and Trump "wants justice to be served for the victims."

Is Jeffrey Epstein's Money Funding Leftist 'Black Flag' Riots in Israel?  Even as coronavirus cases rose sharply in Israel, radicals waving black flags, PLO terrorist flags, and Israeli flags defaced with black, continued their protests against Israel's government.  While millions of Israelis were facing the prospect of returning to lockdown in their own homes, the radicals gathered in huge groups in Kings of Israel Square, hung black flags on historical sites, and clashed violently with police officers who were trying to stop these violent extremists.  Despite their lack of regard for public health, the radical rallies were praised by everyone from former prime minister Ehud Barak to the Israeli Communist Party: part of the Islamic Joint List.

Do Global Elites Commit Crimes Against Children?  [Scroll down]  The Queen's son, Prince Andrew, was a friend of Epstein for decades, and is currently wanted for questioning by U.S. prosecutors.  His relationship with Epstein was well-known in royal circles but tolerated until Epstein's arrest made it too uncomfortable.  In fact, Jeffrey Epstein remained a highly sought-after companion among the elite, even after his release from jail on sex offender charges.  A dinner at his New York mansion was attended by such media luminaries as Katie Couric, Chelsea Handler, and George Stephanopolous, whose wife just publicly urged parents to watch porn with their children.  And it wasn't just media stars who loved Epstein.  Bill Gates, who has endowed the world's largest charitable organization, visited Epstein many times and maintained close ties through his staff.  Harvard University gave Epstein his own office, phone line, and unlimited access, after he donated $9 million for scientific research.  And Harvard faculty visited Epstein in his various homes and in jail and flew on his private planes.

Master Class In Pedophile Grooming:  Jeffrey Epstein And Ghislaine Maxwell.  Currently in custody at Brooklyn MDC, Maxwell faces 35 years imprisonment for her role in sex trafficking under age girls with Jeffrey Epstein.  Prison officials keep Maxwell under constant surveillance and relocate her cell assignments frequently to avert assassination or suicide.  In addition, the prison only issues her paper clothing and linens.  At her July 14 hearing, the judge denied bail.  During the bail hearing, prosecutors revealed that Maxwell is married but refused to identify her alleged spouse or anyone else able to satisfy bail conditions.

The federal judge whose son was killed and husband wounded was just assigned the Epstein-Deutsche Bank case.  A gunman, possibly dressed as a FedEx driver shot and killed the son of Judge Esther Salas and wounded her husband in an attack at their New Jersey home on Sunday [7/20/2020]: [...] Her son was 20 years old and her husband is a defense attorney: [...] Judge Salas had just been assigned a case involving Deutsche Bank and the company's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Update:
Fed-X Assassin Dead — AG Bill Barr Releases Statement.  The man who dressed as a Fed-X driver and attempted to assassinate Federal Judge Esther Salas has been found dead of an apparent 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound.

Federal Judge's Son Shot Dead and Her Defense Attorney Husband Critically Injured Just Days After Taking Jeffrey Epstein Financial Case.  The 20-year-old son of US District Judge of New Jersey, Esther Salas, an Obama appointee, was shot dead Sunday night and her husband was critically injured by a gunman posing as a FedEx driver.  According to reports, Salas's son Daniel Anderl opened the door when the the gunman, dressed as a FedEx driver, opened fire on their North Brunswick home Sunday evening around 5 PM.

Ghislaine Maxwell Thinks Epstein Was Murdered In Jail, Fears Same Fate.  Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime confidante to Jeffrey Epstein, thinks the billionaire was murdered in jail and fears suffering the same fate as she awaits trial on charges of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, according to a new report.  "Everyone's view including Ghislaine's is Epstein was murdered.  She received death threats before she was arrested," an unnamed friend of Maxwell's told The Sun.

Chrissy Teigen Mass Deletes Tweets, Blocks 1 Million Accounts Over Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy.  Supermodel and celebrity chef Chrissy Teigen has deleted some 60,000 past tweets and blocked 1 million Twitter users after conspiracies swirled online over an alleged connection between Teigen and late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allegation that Teigen has forcefully denied.  Teigen was responding to claims that she once flew on Epstein's private jet, apparently to Little St. James, a.k.a. "sex slave island," according to rumored flight logs.  The rumors, which, again, Teigen has denied, came in connection with the model's past tweets about a reality television show called "Toddlers & Tiaras."

Ghislaine Maxwell breaks down in tears as she is DENIED bail and must stay locked up until her July 2021 trial.  Ghislaine Maxwell cried as she was denied bail on Tuesday and learned she must stay locked up until her trial next summer, as Jeffrey Epstein's accused madam pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking charges brought against her.  The 58-year-old wiped tears away and hung her head as she learned her fate, wearing a prison-issued brown top and with her normally short hair now long and swept back into a bun, appearing via video link.  U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan denied Maxwell's proposal of a $5 million bond co-signed by two of her sisters and backed up by more than $3.75 million in property in the UK.

Ghislaine Maxwell is secretly married, refuses to reveal spouse's name.  Ghislaine Maxwell is secretly married — and refusing to reveal her husband's name, prosecutors said this week at the accused madam's bail hearing.  The bombshell detail was divulged Tuesday [7/14/2020] as Manhattan prosecutors accused her of purposely hiding the extent of her wealth.  "In addition to failing to describe in any way the absence of proposed co-signers of a bond, the defendant also makes no mention whatsoever about the financial circumstances or assets of her spouse whose identity she declined to provide to Pretrial Services," Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe told Manhattan federal Judge Alison Nathan during a video conference.  Moe added, "There's no information about who will be co-signing this bond or their assets, and no details whatsoever."

Ghislaine Maxwell's woe is me routine is just getting warmed up.  [Scroll down]  Her attorney Mark Cohen began by describing the inhuman conditions his multimillionaire client, friend to princes and presidents, has suffered in jail.  No acknowledgement of multiple survivors of childhood sexual abuse, of her decades-long involvement with late pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, just Cohen riding a bullet train to the really important stuff.  Maxwell, he lamented, is "alone in her room, lights on all the time" and once "wasn't allowed to shower for 72 hours."  Really, what is jail without a good long scrub and some fancy pajamas?  It's all she's ever known, the lifestyle to which she is accustomed.  So Maxwell was hoping, her lawyer said, that the court might let her await trial in a luxury Manhattan hotel.  So many are empty these days, what with COVID-19.

Ghislaine Maxwell set to appear in Manhattan federal court today.  Ghislaine Maxwell is set to be arraigned Tuesday on charges she conspired with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse girls more than two decades ago — and will also learn whether she'll be sprung from jail pending the outcome of her trial.  Manhattan federal Judge Alison Nathan will decide whether to set bail for the British socialite or leave her locked up in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.  Prosecutors want Maxwell, 58, remanded, calling her an "extreme" flight risk with more than $20 million in the bank and three passports.

Ghislaine Maxwell denied bail by New York judge.  A New York judge denied bail to Ghislaine Maxwell on Tuesday [7/14/2020].  Maxwell is awaiting her trial on sex trafficking charges.  Fox News reports that Judge Alison Nathan ruled Maxwell was too much of a "flight risk" to be granted release on bail.  She stands accused of procuring teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein for the purposes of sexual exploitation between 1994 and 1997.  Maxwell remains at a New York detention centre in Brooklyn.

Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly [is being] moved from 'cell to cell' to avoid assassins.  Ghislaine Maxwell is being moved from "cell to cell" in her Brooklyn lockup — over fears someone will try to kill the accused Jeffrey Epstein madam before she stands trial, according to a report.  The [New York] Post already revealed how the 58-year-old British socialite was forced to wear paper clothes and sleep on a bare mattress so she couldn't hang herself with clothes or bed sheets like Epstein.  Now insiders have told the Mail on Sunday that prison officials are so "terrified someone will try to kill her" that they are constantly moving her around inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.  "She is being moved from cell to cell and sometimes has a cellmate, sometimes not," an insider told the UK paper.

Ghislaine Maxwell 'Has Tapes of Two Prominent US Politicians Having Sex with Minors'.  Ghislaine Maxwell "has tapes of two prominent US politicians having sex with minors," according to a former friend.  Maxwell, deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's alleged child sex trafficking accomplice, often boasted of "owning" powerful people, her old friend has revealed.  According to her former confidant, who uses the pseudonym William Steel, Maxwell and Epstein "forced" him to watch video footage of the horrific child abuse in an effort to convince him of their "power."

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell 'filmed powerful people having sex with underage girls'.  Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his ex-lover Ghislaine Maxwell recorded videos of powerful people having sex with under-age girls, according to a former friend of the pair.  And the reformed jewel thief, who uses the pseudonym William Steel, claims the couple made him watch some to prove how they "owned" people.  In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the ex-criminal turned writer tells how he was shown footage involving two high-profile US politicians having sex with minors and two high society figures having a threesome with an under-age girl.

Ghislaine Maxwell filmed US politicians with underage girls, former pal claims.  Ghislaine Maxwell once boasted she had video of two "high profile" US politicians, along with other powerful figures, having sex with underage girls, claims a former jewel thief who described the disgraced socialite as a nymphomaniac.  The reformed thief and author, who uses the pseudonym William Steel, said he long suspected Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell were abusing underage girls after meeting them in a jewelry store in Palm Beach as he tried to sell his stolen wares, he said in an interview with The Sun.  Steel, who claims he once swiped computer discs from the couple and sent them to authorities, did not reveal the identities of the people he says he saw in the videos.

Ghislaine Maxwell's secrets, if revealed, will be incendiary.  Jeffrey Epstein went to (or was sent to) the grave keeping his secrets.  However, Ghislaine Maxwell almost certainly shares the same secrets.  The latest allegation is that she has or had videos of two "high profile" American politicians, as well as two other influential people, having sex with underage girls.  If that's true, it's reasonable to believe that she has more than just those videos.  A lot of famous people may soon be in trouble, although probably not Trump, who wised up a long time ago about Epstein. The Sun writes that William Steel, the pseudonym for a former jewel thief, claims that Ghislaine Maxwell, whether as insurance and because she's a very kinky person, videotaped two highly placed American politicians, as well as other powerful people, having sex with underage girls.

The Editor says...
Once Ms. Maxwell's secrets are all revealed and her "insurance" is exhausted, is she then defenseless?  Her upcoming biography is sure to be tragic:  It's almost certain that she will be murdered someday, before or after spilling the beans.  What happens then, after her death, is likely to be far worse.

Weinstein, Epstein, and the Democrats.  [Scroll down]  The public wondered what truths Epstein would spill but were soon disappointed.  After prison guards found Epstein unconscious with strangulation marks on his neck, he was placed on suicide watch, only to be quietly removed from suicide watch, placed in an isolated cell, and strangled to death while the guards missed a mandatory checkup.  Video footage from both strangulations had been destroyed and Epstein's death was passed off as a suicide.  Legacy media organizations mocked the disbelieving public as conspiracy theorists until undercover footage from Project Veritas revealed that even journalists knew Epstein had been murdered.  Furthermore, an ABC News story featuring proof that Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, and other elites had been Epstein's clientele had been killed after the royal palace had "threatened us a million different ways."  The story of Epstein and Prince Andrew, entrusted to ABC by a victim of child trafficking who had spent 12 years in hiding, had been traded for an interview with Prince William and Kate Middleton and additional interviews guaranteed to ABC for years to come.

Ghislaine Maxwell's supporters willing to endorse $5 million bond, lawyer says.  Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime confidant of sex offender Jeffrey Esptein, asked a judge on Friday to grant her release from federal custody, saying her supporters would co-sign a $5 million bail bond and that she would consent to monitored home confinement while awaiting trial.  In their court filing, Maxwell's lawyers sought to counter federal prosecutors' description of Maxwell as Epstein's accomplice and a flight risk who must remain in federal custody, saying she has been wrongly targeted.  "Ghislaine Maxwell is not Jeffrey Epstein," her attorney Mark S. Cohen wrote in a 22-page response filed to a detention memo filed by the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office.

The Butterfly Trust:  How Deutsche Bank helped Jeffrey Epstein maintain his criminal lifestyle.  New York State's Department of Financial Services has published a consent order including the results of an investigation into Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.  According to the document, Deutsche Bank agreed to make Epstein a client despite knowing about his jail time for solicitation of underage girls and then turned a blind eye to years of suspicious financial transactions involving some of his former co-conspirators.  A trust Epstein set up at Deutsche Bank — the Butterfly Trust — sent payments to women with Eastern European names.  He also withdrew around $800,000 in cash which he allegedly used on travel and tipping expenses.  Epstein moved his accounts to Deutsche Bank in 2013, several years after his conviction for soliciting underage girls and his brief stint in jail.  Deutsche Bank prepared a memo about his past.  They then held a meeting at which they concluded working with Epstein posed no reputational risk to the company.  Curiously, no notes about that meeting exist according to Deutsche Bank[.]

The New York Post states the obvious:
Prison officials want to ensure Ghislaine Maxwell doesn't meet same fate as Jeffrey Epstein.  Accused Jeffrey Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly transferred on Monday from New Hampshire to a Brooklyn federal prison in New York City, where she'll await trial pending a bail hearing.  Maxwell, who was arrested in a million-dollar rural mansion last week, was moved by U.S. Marshals to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park on Monday morning, the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement.  The former socialite and daughter of a British media magnate is awaiting arraignment on four counts of sex trafficking minors and two counts of perjury for allegedly acting as Epstein's fixer as he sexually abused underage girls.

Former warden at Ghislaine Maxwell's NYC jail says she should be on suicide watch.  Ghislaine Maxwell should be kept on suicide watch at her federal lockup in Brooklyn because her case is too explosive to risk her killing herself behind bars, a former warden of the jail told The [New York] Post Tuesday [7/7/2020].  Cameron Lindsay, who served as the warden at the Metropolitan Detention Center for three years, said he wouldn't risk the possibility of her suicide because it would be "unimaginable" for her to escape the justice system.  "She allegedly knows a great deal of information about a multitude of potential co-defendants in the actions against Jeffrey Epstein," Lindsay said.  "This is just such a sensitive case, it's absolutely imperative that the government get it right," he added.  "Why take any chances?  Just put her on suicide watch and keep her there until she's out the door.  I would just not risk it."

Deutsche Bank hit with $150 million penalty for relationship to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  New York state financial regulators said Tuesday that they have slapped Deutsche Bank with a $150 million penalty "for significant compliance failures" in the bank's dealings with accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the now-dead investor, as well as with two client banks.  The New York State Department of Financial Services said that Deutsche Bank, which agreed to the payment under a consent order, "failed to properly monitor account activity conducted on behalf of the registered sex offender despite ample" public information about Mr. Epstein's earlier criminal misconduct.  The big settlement comes days after Epstein's alleged procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, was arrested on federal charges that accuse her of helping him get access to and to groom underage girls so he could sexually abuse them.

Ghislaine Maxwell Has 'Dead Woman's Switch' Secret Sex Tapes in Her Possession.  Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly has secret sex tapes in her possession that would expose powerful Epstein acquaintances, giving her clout in any potential plea deal while also acting as a form of protection against being 'suicided'. [...] It's now part of Jeffrey Epstein lore that the billionaire sex trafficker had his mansions festooned with cameras that recorded his influential friends having sex with underage girls, material that could later be used to blackmail them.

Federal Authorities Give Minimal Detail On Why It Took 24 Years To Arrest Ghislaine Maxwell.  Federal authorities provided minimal detail when the Daily Caller News Foundation questioned why it took so long for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's alleged cohort Ghislaine Maxwell to be arrested.  A grand jury indicted Maxwell on charges of conspiracy to entice minors to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors for illegal sex acts, transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sex acts, and perjury.  She was arrested at 8:30 am Thursday morning in Bradford, New Hampshire, temporarily held in Merrimack County Jail and then transferred to a New York prison Monday.

What can Ghislaine Maxwell tell prosecutors about the parties with all those Silicon Valley barons?  Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao may have thought she was revealing corruption in Silicon Valley.  She did not realize she was implicating herself.  Pao, a bigshot in Big Tech, claims that Ghislaine Maxwell attended a Kleiner Perkins party in 2011. This was three years after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of child sex trafficking.  The fact that she attended this party is really not newsworthy.  What is significant is Pao's comment that "We knew about her supplying underage girls for sex, but I guess that was fine with the 'cool' people who managed the tightly controlled guest list."  Members of the "elite" are privy to a great deal of information that is not known to the public because the media does not appear interested in reporting on it.  Others have mentioned that Epstein's activities were well known, too.  The late Sen. John McCain's heiress widow, Cindy McCain, earlier on, announced:  "Epstein was hiding in plain sight.  We all knew about him.  We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was — no legal aspect that would go after him.  They were afraid of him.  For whatever reason, they were afraid of him."  Clearly, Epstein's activities were not unknown in elite circles.

Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to NYC lockup ahead of court date.  Jeffrey Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred from a New Hampshire jail to a federal lockup in New York City, officials said.  The accused madam — who was arrested last week for allegedly helping procure underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse — was moved from the Merrimack County House of Corrections to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, US Bureau of Prisons officials confirmed.

Why the Epstein Scandal May Be the Most Important Story of the Decade.  The Epstein underage sex-trafficking and blackmail story may be the most important story of the decade.  It is a parable for much that has gone wrong with Western civilization, the story of the corruption of a ruling elite not merely on a human level but on a spiritual one, the explanation of our current condition.  The characters in this sordid drama seemed to have accepted their damnation and determined to live out their debauchery without even the possibility of redemption.  Despite the prestige and opulence of its setting, Epstein's was a world of despair where the shadow suicide or guilty evasion was the price of stimulation.

As the crisis deepens, Q says rise or die.  The recent arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, confidante of the late Jeffrey Epstein, may initiate a new phase of what Q calls The Great Awakening.  Assuming that Maxwell stays alive, the public may finally learn some of the deepest secrets of The Cult, the long entrenched global crime syndicate that operated with impunity until President Trump's election.  Q has directed our attention to the mysterious temple on Epstein's island, a topic the media studiously avoid.  Underneath the temple may be a series of dungeons in which powerful people performed sickening rituals on innocent victims.  Q has posted evocative images from what appear to be security cameras in the dungeon's chambers that suggest some kind of coordinated activity.  The potentates of politics, entertainment, the media, high society, finance, business, and science who visited the island do not want to be exposed and can be expected to furiously fight all efforts to bring them to justice.  Q has warned that "it's going to be biblical," as the panicked elite deploy every asset to unleash terror on the public, derail the election, and regain their tyrannical stranglehold.

Ghislaine Maxwell expected to appear in Manhattan this week for arraignment.  Ghislaine Maxwell is expected to be transferred early this week to the Southern District of New York for her upcoming court appearance, according to a new letter filed by federal prosecutors on Sunday night [7/5/2020].  Maxwell, 58, is currently at the Merrimack County Jail, a medium-security facility 20 miles from the luxurious home where she was arrested Thursday in New Hampshire.  Federal prosecutors consulted with Maxwell's attorneys and both want the arraignment and bail hearing to take place on Friday, according to the letter addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan.

Five questions for Ghislaine Maxwell.  [#4] Was Jeffrey Epstein an FBI informant?  In 2008, Alex Acosta was the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida.  In 2019, when Acosta was in the running for becoming Trump's labor secretary, told a Trump transition team that unspecified persons had told him to back off from the case:  'I was told Epstein "belonged to intelligence", and to leave it alone.'  Acosta later recanted this story in a fumbling statement.  But a 2008 FBI document confirms Acosta's earlier claim that he had been told to 'back off'.  The FBI document records that the US Attorney's Office had notified the FBI that the Epstein investigation was 'highly sensitive'.  The same FBI document, written five months after Epstein's legal team had secured a non-prosecution agreement from Acosta's office, noted that 'no prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida'.  This, the document says, was because Epstein had 'provided information to the FBI as agreed upon'.

Ghislaine Maxwell arrest:  FBI reportedly almost blew cover by lying to neighbor.  The FBI agents who arrested Ghislaine Maxwell last week almost blew their cover when they lied to a neighbor who complained about noise from spy planes buzzing overheard, according to a report.  A local told the UK's Mirror that aircraft had been circling over the disgraced British socialite's 156-acre hideaway in New Hampshire beginning before dawn Thursday [7/2/2020].  "They were a nuisance.  We began calling each other to find out what the noise was about.  Finally one snapped and drove down to where the vehicles were lined up," the resident told the outlet.  "He demanded to know who they were and they replied they were from the New England Aerial map society — it was totally fictitious.  The problem the FBI had was that the guy is an expert in maps and geology.  It's what he does for a living," the local continued.

Who's afraid of Ghislaine Maxwell?  Everyone on this list.  Moments after the feds busted Ghislaine Maxwell Thursday [7/2/2020] for allegedly roping in underage girls for pal Jeffrey Epstein's perverted pleasure, fireworks started going off in the lives of certain billionaires and playboys who palled around with the two.  And not the happy Fourth of July kind.  Since no one was closer to the billionaire pedophile than Maxwell, whose network spanned from New York to France, Israel, Buckingham Palace and the Caribbean, those in the know are undoubtedly fretting over the dirt she could dish to keep herself out of jail.  Particularly after prosecutors vowed to "bring justice" to other potential enablers of Epstein's sex abuse and trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell arrest:  Armed agents, spy planes used to take down Epstein gal pal.  Armed agents raced a convoy of 15 vehicles through the New Hampshire woods, with spy planes buzzing overhead, in the moments before they smashed down Ghislaine Maxwell's door and arrested her Thursday [7/2/2020], according to a report.  Small planes had started buzzing over Bradford in New Hampshire from 4.20 a.m.  Thursday — four hours before the raid on Maxwell's 156-acre hideaway, locals told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.  When 24 armed FBI agents finally stormed the property — suitably named "Tuckedaway" — they were backed by New York cops, local officers and even New Hampshire's gang task force, the paper said.  After using bolt-cutters to break the lock on a metal gate the teams "drove at speed up the half-mile driveway in a convoy of 15 vehicles," an officer told the paper.  "And let's just say, we didn't knock politely on the door," the officer said.  "It was smashed down."

Ghislaine Maxwell's pending suicide.  When Jeffrey Epstein, the renowned financial maven and friend to the rich and powerful, was arrested for underage sex-trafficking, I knew that his days on the planet were numbered.  Epstein simply knew too much to live.  What undoubtedly happened was that a lot of money changed hands, deals were made, prison guards and possibly their superiors were bought, cameras were surreptitiously disabled, and Epstein's murder was declared a suicide by bedsheet, an official conclusion that exactly zero people bought.  And now that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's pal, paramour, and fellow pervert, is behind bars for her part in the sex scandal, her eventual "suicide" is a certainty.  We'll never know exactly what went on between Epstein and his famous friends.

Friends fear Ghislaine Maxwell is in 'danger,' worried for her safety.  Friends of Ghislaine Maxwell are worried the disgraced socialite could get whacked in prison or die by suicide like her predator ex-lover and boss, Jeffrey Epstein.  "I'm absolutely worried for her safety," said Christopher Mason, a TV host and journalist who has known Maxwell since the 1980s.  "Do I think [she's] in danger?  Yes."  Mason, who is appearing in the new docu-series "Surviving Jeffrey Epstein" in August on Lifetime, added that the threat to Maxwell — now headed to the same Manhattan lock-up where Epstein died last August — could be greater because of reports she might cooperate with authorities.

Ghislaine Maxwell could go to Manhattan jail where Jeffrey Epstein died.  Ghislaine Maxwell may end up in the same notorious Manhattan jail where her infamous pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, experts told The [New York] Post on Friday [7/3/2020].  "They'll probably keep her at the Metropolitan Correctional Center," said Jeffrey Lichtman, whose client, drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, was held at the Lower Manhattan facility.  "The place is probably the worst federal prison in the country," Lichtman added of the grim concrete building in Lower Manhattan.  "It's a horror show.  That's putting it mildly. [Maxwell] is really going to pay for the MCC's failure to keep Epstein safe, and it's probably going to make it even more restrictive and difficult for her."

Powerful men are scared about what Ghislaine Maxwell will say.  Jeffrey Epstein's victims have another shot at justice.  Here's hoping they get it.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the alleged child sex trafficker and abuser in league with Epstein, was finally arrested Thursday morning [7/2/2020].  Her guilt, in the court of public opinion, isn't in question.  The only question is:  Will the federal government keep Maxwell alive to stand trial?  There's good reason conspiracy theories still swirl around Epstein's suicide, nearly one year ago, in a downtown federal prison — a prison, by the way, that safely housed Bernie Madoff, the 1993 World Trade Center bomber, El Chapo and a terrorist who told the New York Times it was tougher than Guantanamo Bay — and he would know, because he'd been held in both.  It stands to reason that the federal government should be able to contain a socialite.

The Editor says...
If Ms. Maxwell really has the dirt of several powerful men, as I suspect she does, then she's in real danger of dying soon from Arkancide.  On the other hand, I expect she probably has made arrangements for all the dirt to spill out in the event something bad happens to her.

Speculation runs rampant following Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest: 'Where are they going to keep her safe?'.  Maxwell was, at one time, Epstein's girlfriend.  The daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell, she had been at the billionaire investor's side for decades.  In addition, Maxwell was alleged to have helped Epstein groom underaged girls for sex with rich, powerful men.  One of the teens, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has made those claims against Maxwell in a 2015 defamation suit, as have several other women in the years since.  Britain's Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton are among the names of powerful men alleged to have been associated with Epstein and Maxwell.

Ghislaine Maxwell "Knows Everything" And "Will Be Naming Names", Former Epstein Associate Says.  Assuming that Ghislaine Maxwell doesn't wind up with the means to kill herself in her jail cell, and assuming those who are supposed to be watching her 24 hours a day won't be taking any well-timed coffee breaks, Maxwell will be "naming names" and "fully cooperating" with the FBI according to a former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, according The Daily Mail.  Epstein's former employer Steven Hoffenberg said that Maxwell "knows everything" and will "totally co-operate".  In addition, Prince Andrew, who has been nudged further and further toward the center of the Epstein/Maxwell controversy, is "among those very worried" about what she might reveal, the report says.  "She's going to cooperate and be very important.  Andrew is definitely, definitely concerned," Hoffenberg said.

Judge Orders Jeffrey Epstein Accuser To Destroy Files.  Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre has been ordered by a US District Judge to destroy files believed to contain the names of Epstein's associates — because they were "improperly obtained.'  Senior US District Judge Loretta Preska said on Wednesday that Giuffre's attorneys would need to provide proof that the documents had been destroyed, adding that "Counsel shall submit an affidavit detailing the steps taken to do so," according to Newsweek.  Preska noted that a protective order governing the 'improperly obtained' documents only applied during a civil lawsuit proceeding which has been settled. [...] In September 2019, an attorney for Epstein's alleged 'madam,' Ghislaine Maxwell, who was arrested on Thursday, told Preska that that there are "hundreds" of people named in some 2,000 pages of documents.

Does It Mean Something That The SDNY's Public Corruption Unit Is Handling Ghislaine Maxwell's Case?  The public interest in seeing this degenerate arrested is a 50/50 mix of wanting her to suffer for her crimes and wanting to see if she rolls over on anyone else in Epstein's circle.  Lotta suspense on that last point.  Lotta big names potentially in the mix.  Strong, powerful names.  The biggest!  Former prosecutor Elie Honig got some attention with this comment, noting the fine print in the DOJ's press release that the Southern District of New York's Public Corruption Unit will be handling Maxwell's prosecution.  Public corruption?  Isn't this a sex-crimes case? [...] There'd better be a platoon of Marines stationed outside Maxwell's cell making sure no one lays a hand on her, including herself.  If she ends up hanging herself, whatever traces of trust in public institutions that are left in this country will go up in smoke.

Jeffrey Epstein's friend Ghislaine Maxwell arrested for role in sex ring.  The woman called "best friend" by former financier and accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested in New Hampshire, according to the FBI.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the 58-year-old daughter of the late British media tycoon Robert Maxwell, dated Epstein more than 10 years ago and remained a close personal confidant up until his death on August 10 last year.  Though the charges are officially sealed, Maxwell has faced civil court accusations of helping Epstein facilitate his now-infamous sex-trafficking operation.  The allegations charge that Maxwell acted as a "madam," expediting and coordinating the running of girls as young as 14 to Epstein's Manhattan home.

Keep an eye on slippery Ghislaine Maxwell.  Lock her in a glass cage.  Put a camera in the cell, hook it up to the Internet, livestream it to the world.  Double the guard.  Double their pay.  Make sure they can't be bribed, don't sleep on the job, aren't watching television.  Better yet, put her in the middle of Times Square where the Elmos can keep an eye on her.  Whatever you do, don't leave Ghislaine Maxwell alone — or hidden.  Don't you dare let her commit "suicide" like the depraved boss she served, Jeffrey Epstein.

What Ghislaine Maxwell knows.  After a year of speculating whether she was taking advantage of extradition laws in Paris or smuggling In-N-Out burgers in Los Angeles, Ghislaine Maxwell was found hiding out on a 156-acre compound, which she had purchased with cash in the tiny town of Bradford, New Hampshire.  Epstein's henchwoman has been charged with conspiracy to entice minors to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to engage in illegal sex acts, transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sex acts, and perjuring herself in 2016.  If found guilty, the 58-year-old British socialite would likely face decades behind bars.  That sound you hear is that of princes, politicians, and international party girls and playboys all shaking in their boots with the realization that a woman with everything to gain and nothing left to lose is in the custody of prosecutors who would love to hear her secrets.

Here's A List Of The Rich And Famous Caught In Photos With Ghislaine Maxwell.  Ghislaine Maxwell was finally caught Thursday after being on the lam for months following the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in August 2019. The couple became known for their alleged perverted escapades on Epstein's private plane, called the "Lolita Express," and on Epstein's private Caribbean island, sometimes called "Orgy Island" or the "Island of Sin," following allegations that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked and abused underage girls.  The two also allegedly passed the victims around to Epstein's famous friends.

Co-author of Epstein book calls Ghislaine Maxwell arrest 'biggest story' related to notorious case yet.  Author Daniel Halper told "The Daily Briefing" Thursday that the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell is the biggest story related to the Jeffrey Epstein case since the convicted pedophile's jailhouse suicide last year.  "She's the primary character, aside from Jeffrey Epstein," said Halper, the co-author of "A Convenient Death:  The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein."  "She [Maxwell] was with him from his rise in New York.  [She] helped him really get a social footing, social standing in New York City and make big acquaintances that paid off."

A romp through the hideaway havens of Ghislaine Maxwell from our dependable free press.  The arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell (July 2) as an accessory to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein provides us an opportunity to take a quick look back at the integrity and dependability of some quite recent stories.  She was reportedly hiding out at an estate in New Hampshire. [...] That report seems reliable ... however, on June 21, less than two weeks ago, The New York Post reported that ... ["]Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly hiding from the feds in plush Paris apartment["] [...] That seems odd.  A New York newspaper had fallen for a false story a mere two weeks ago?! Nothing gets by the New York press.  Of course, in defense of the New York Post, it was merely citing The Sun as a source.  Yet, the story seemed plausible, as The Sun had an outside photo shot of her hideway, even giving the street address as "Avenue Matignon, in Paris's exclusive 8th Arrondissement."  Everything but her phone number.

Ghislaine Maxwell was hiding out in a luxury home with 'total privacy'.  Ghislaine Maxwell was hiding out in a luxury home on a 156-acre estate in New Hampshire — where she fled to a bedroom when the feds rang the bell at the gate ahead of her arrest, The [New York] Post has learned.  "It's a good place to hide," a neighbor, who declined to give his name, said of the sprawling rural property.  "Guess not good enough." [...] FBI agents, accompanied by local cops, rang the bell at the end of the long driveway at 8:30 a.m., and it was answered by a housekeeper, sources said.  Maxwell ran into a bedroom when told the authorities were there for her, but she eventually came out on her own and immediately asked for her lawyer when she was arrested in an alleged scheme to supply the infamous late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with underage victims, sources said.

Epstein Confidante Ghislaine Maxwell Finally Arrested on Sex Abuse Charges.  Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and confidante Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested by the FBI in New Hampshire Thursday morning on multiple sex abuse charges, including conspiracy to sexually abuse minors.  "Maxwell assisted, facilitated and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims," the six-count indictment in Manhattan federal court states.  "In some instances, Maxwell was present for and participated in the sexual abuse of minor victims."

Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested, Indicted in Connection With Epstein Sex-abuse Operation.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the jet-setting party girl accused of recruiting young girls for Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, was arrested in New Hampshire today [7/2/2020].  Federal authorities also unsealed a federal grand jury's six-count, 18-page indictment against Maxwell, the daughter of deceased British publishing tycoon and Israeli spy Robert Maxwell.  Maxwell, the indictment alleges, not only recruited and groomed young girls for Epstein — indicted a year ago on similar charges and found dead in his jail cell a month later — but also participated in the abuse.

Epstein Confidante Maxwell Arrested in New Hampshire.  In a surprising move, Ghislaine Maxwell, the British heiress and confidante to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested in New Hampshire.  Maxwell's arrest could have a ripple effect on both criminal and civil matters ranging from the still uncertain status of Prince Andrew to a number of defamation lawsuits.  One of Maxwell's principal accuser was Virginia Roberts Giuffre who has filed lawsuits against Maxwell as well as figures like Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz.  It appears that the charges derive from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, another indication that the recent controversy of the replacement of the U.S. Attorney has not impacted underlying investigations.  Frankly, as a criminal defense lawyer, I am surprised that Maxwell risked returning to the United States.  She was believed to be living in Paris.  It was well-known that the Justice Department was pursuing the case, including demands to interview Prince Andrew.

Jeffrey Epstein's confidant Ghislaine Maxwell set to appear in NH courtroom on sexual abuse charges.  Jeffrey Epstein's confidant Ghislaine Maxwell will be before a New Hampshire judge Thursday afternoon following her early-morning arrest on multiple sex abuse charges, including conspiracy to entice minors to engage in sexual acts.  Epstein's former girlfriend and accused madam was taken into custody at 8:30 a.m. in Bradford, N.H., the FBI confirmed to Fox News.  She had purportedly been hiding out in Paris, France before her arrest.  Audrey Strauss, acting US Attorney for Southern District of New York, said prosecutors would be seeking detention for Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein Confidante Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested, Sources Say.  Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and heiress who became a confidante of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and was later implicated in his alleged sexual crimes, has been arrested by the FBI.  She was arrested in Bedford, New Hampshire around 8:30 a.m.  Thursday on charges she conspired with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, and is expected to appear in a federal court later today [7/2/2020].  The six-count indictment in Manhattan federal court alleges that Maxwell helped Epstein groom girls as young as 14 years old, going back as far as 1994.

In May Reports Came Out that Bill Clinton Dated Ghislaine Maxwell — Now She's Under Arrest — What Next?  In May a new book claimed that Bill Clinton had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged madam. [...] On Wednesday the FBI arrested Ghislaine Maxwell.  Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in New Hampshire.

Epstein Friend Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested by FBI, U.S. Says.  Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of disgraced money manager Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested by the FBI on charges tied to Epstein's case, an agency spokeswoman said.  Maxwell was arrested this morning in New Hampshire, FBI spokeswoman Adrienne Senatore said.  Charges against Maxwell are sealed.  Prosecutors have scheduled a midday press conference in New York.

Make Prince Andrew sing.  Kudos to the Trump Department of Justice for not letting Prince Andrew worm his way out of answering questions about his long relationship with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.  The DOJ is invoking Britain's treaty obligations as it demands the prince be made available.  Prosecutors for the Southern District of New York bypassed Buckingham Palace to file a "mutual legal assistance" request for assistance in a criminal investigation to the UK Home Office in order to force the royal to testify, The Sun reported.  Andrew's lawyers pretend he's made multiple offers to talk — as if the feds would go to these lengths just to embarrass a prince who's all too good at embarrassing himself.

Overview and recap of the Epstein case:
How Stupid Do They Think We Are?  Consider the "coincidences" and anomalies that took place in Epstein's final days and hours.  Here you have the most high-profile criminal defendant in the United States, who had explosively damaging information on sexual predations involving perhaps scores or hundreds of the world's most elite and powerful occurring aboard Epstein's private 727 jet dubbed "The Lolita Express," at his Caribbean estate wags nicknamed "Orgy Island," at his sprawling New Mexico would-be baby farm, and at his Manhattan manse.  He finally ends up in jail at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons.  He then supposedly attempted to kill myself but survived, yet was taken off suicide watch after only six days.  Then lo and behold, both guards assigned to check on him fell asleep — simultaneously — and missed their rounds, both cameras trained on the area around Epstein's cell failed, simultaneously, and the night before his death, Epstein's one cellmate inexplicably was removed from the cell.  After his body was found on August 10, 2019, an autopsy performed by the city's Chief Medical Examiner's office determined the cause of death to be suicide after only five days, even before all of the evidence has been collected.  Famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who attended the autopsy at the behest of Epstein's brother, gave a must-see interview to Fox News.  He noted that the three bones fractured in Epstein's neck were indicative of homicide, not suicide.  Baden said that Epstein's neck "had been crushed."  It was not the result of a ligature (like a noose made from bedsheets), as was claimed.  He noted the scene of the death appeared staged to suggest suicide.  Yet, the Deep State Media pushed the suicide narrative nonetheless, pooh-poohing anyone who suggested otherwise.

Judge in Jeffrey Epstein grand jury case has ties to those with a stake in the outcome.  The Palm Beach judge who has thus far refused to release grand jury records in the Jeffrey Epstein case has both professional and family ties to three of the politicians who have a stake in keeping those records secret, the Miami Herald has learned.  Krista Marx, the Palm Beach chief judge who also heads a panel that polices judicial conduct, has potential conflicts of interest involving three prominent players embroiled in the Epstein sex-trafficking saga:  State Attorney Dave Aronberg, who has been sued by the Palm Beach Post to release the grand jury records; Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, whose department's favored treatment of Epstein while he was in the Palm Beach County jail is part of an ongoing state criminal investigation; and ex-State Attorney Barry Krischer, part of the same investigation in connection with his decision not to prosecute Epstein on child-sex charges.

Netflix docuseries soft-pedals Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein.  Netflix's Democratic ties run deep, from its litany of left-leaning content to its highest profile board member, former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice.  That doesn't count the streaming platform's megadeal with Barack and Michelle Obama.  Netflix's newest original program, "Jeffrey Epstein:  Filthy Rich," appears to intensify that tilt, downplaying former President Bill Clinton's murky ties to the late financier and convicted sex offender's inner circle.

Jeffrey Epstein's Political Connections Include A Tangled Web Of World Leaders.  Netflix just released a tell-all docuseries about Jeffery Epstein, his alleged crimes, and the intricate web of wealthy people he kept around him to ensure that he could evade punishment for decades.  The four-part documentary, Filthy Rich, details countless incidents where young women and girls were abused and sexually trafficked by Epstein and numerous powerful men who — at least used to — call him a friend.  Executive produced by James Patterson, whose book by the same title was used heavily as source material for the series, Filthy Rich focuses most of its screen time on the survivors and their stories rather than Epstein's circle of acquaintances.  But it was the wealth — and many of his connections — that left Epstein unchecked for his actions for so long.  Thanks to his immense wealth as a financier managing private funds for a select list of clients, and introductions made by his socialite ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein was seen socializing with some of the world's most well-known and powerful men.

'Epstein and I have everyone on videotape' Ghislaine Maxwell alleged to have confided.  Ghislaine Maxwell told a former acquaintance that she and Jeffrey Epstein had "everything on videotape," it has been claimed.  Christina Oxenberg, a socialite and distant relative of the royals, said Ms Maxwell also once told her that Epstein had purchased his own helicopter because commercial pilots were "eyes and ears" they did not need.  She revealed she had spoken to the FBI about what she had been told.

Jeffrey Epstein estate's bills, employees going unpaid over 'insufficient funds,' lawyers say.  Lawyers for late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's $600 million U.S. Virgin Islands estate said liens imposed by the local attorney general have left them unable to pay the estate's bills, employees at his various properties or for legal defense from his accusers, according to a filing made public Friday [2/21/2020].

Socialite Christina Oxenberg tells all about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the FBI.  There was a time when Ghislaine Maxwell talked freely and often to Christina Oxenberg, daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia.  But Maxwell, 58, friend and confidante of convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, may come to regret her lack of inhibition.  For I can disclose that the spirited Oxenberg has alerted the FBI that she is willing to testify against her old acquaintance.  'Anything I can do, I want to do because I'm so disgusted by what has happened,' Christina, 57, tells me from New York, explaining she called an FBI hotline with information about the Epstein case.

Feds Knew 11 Years Ago About Epstein Key Witness Who Could've Changed Everything.  More troubling details have emerged about the previously secret non-prosecution agreement in Florida eleven years ago involving financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead of apparent suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in August after being charged with child sex trafficking.  According to an exclusive report by ABC News published Thursday, FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida were aware of a key witness whose testimony helped lead to Epstein's arrest last summer, but the Florida prosecutors worked out the controversial deal with Epstein before she was able to testify.

Most Now Think Jeffrey Epstein Was Murdered.  Most Americans now believe disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in jail because he knew too much.  A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey shows that just 21% of American Adults think Epstein actually committed suicide while in jail which is the official explanation for his death.  Fifty-two percent (52%) say it's more likely that he was murdered to prevent him from testifying against powerful people with whom he associated.  Twenty-seven percent (27%) are undecided which is more likely.

No One Knows Why Epstein's Secret Bank Account Moved Millions Since His Death.  The account in the Virgin Islands sat dormant with very little activity for many years, and it is unclear whether or not his international banking firm ever brought on clients.  Local authorities suspect it was used as some type of shell company for his criminal enterprise.  Despite the lack of activity and Epstein's criminal record, the bank renewed his license every year since he was first approved.  The fact that this account exists is not unusual in itself — Epstein had dozens of bank accounts throughout the world that he used for a variety of different purposes, both legal and illegal.  What is strange is that tens of millions of dollars have been flowing from Epstein's estate into this Virgin Islands account since his alleged suicide.  To make matters even more suspicious, the account was nearly cleaned out by the beginning of 2020 with no clear explanation of where the money went.

Mysterious bank Jeffrey Epstein created received millions after his death.  A mysterious bank Jeffrey Epstein opened in the Virgin Islands in 2014 — which has been seemingly stagnant for years — suddenly received millions of dollars from his estate after his death, the New York Times reported Tuesday [2/4/2020].  The fallen billionaire and accused sex trafficker applied to open one of the territories' first international banking operations, Southern Country International, so he could chase the "dynamic discipline of international banking," according to an application for the institution, obtained by the outlet.  The application, where Epstein describes himself as one of the investment world's "pioneers," was ultimately approved in 2014 and allowed him to do business with offshore clients only, the outlet said.

4 Jeffrey Epstein accusers pen open letter begging Prince Andrew to talk to FBI.  Four Jeffrey Epstein accusers have written an open letter begging Prince Andrew to talk to the FBI for the sake of his "daughters and their children," a report said Sunday [2/2/2020].  The group urged the 59-year-old royal to "be on the right side of history" after he was accused last Monday of giving "zero cooperation" to the ongoing investigation into Epstein's inner circle, according to the letter shared with the Mail on Sunday.  "Prince Andrew, the world is watching," starts the letter, written by an accuser using the name "KiKi" and countersigned by three unnamed accusers all represented by lawyer Lisa Bloom.

Jeffrey Epstein prison guard's lawyer 'highly likely' to seek dismissal of client's charges.  A lawyer for one of the two guards on duty when disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself argued Thursday [1/30/2020] that it was "highly likely" he would seek to dismiss criminal charges against his client on the grounds that he was unfairly targeted and made a scapegoat for security lapses in the Manhattan detention center.  Montell Figgins, the lawyer for Michael Thomas, said his client and co-defendant Tova Noel were "selectively prosecuted" to cover up serious "inadequacies" of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Warden who was in charge when Jeffrey Epstein died behind bars is quietly given a top job at 'Club Fed' prison.  The warden in charge when Jeffrey Epstein died in his jail cell is getting a cushy new supervisor's job at 'Club Fed' despite Attorney General Bill Barr's demand that he be reassigned to a desk job.  Lamine N'Diaye is being reassigned to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, two people familiar with the matter said.  The move comes months after Barr ordered N'Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons' regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein's death as the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general investigated.

Google critic now suggests his wife's fatal car crash was NOT an accident.  A high profile critic of Google, who accused the search engine of meddling in the 2016 election, has now suggested his wife's fatal car crash was not an accident.  Robert Epstein, 66, said in July the internet giant's methods 'gave' millions of votes to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.  In December he announced that his wife, Misti Dawn Vaughn, 29, died after her truck spun out of control along a road in California and into the path of a tractor-trailer.  On Sunday [1/19/2020] he tweeted:  'Last year, after I briefed a group of state AGs about #Google's power to rig elections, one of them said, "I think you're going to die in an accident in a few months."  A few months later, my beautiful wife #Misti died a violent death.  Makes you wonder.'

Jeffrey Epstein had burst capillaries in his eyeballs after he died which pathologist tells Dr. Oz suggests he was strangled and did not hang himself.  A forensic pathologist has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was likely murdered and did not hang himself because he had burst capillaries in his eyes which is consistent with manual strangulation and not hanging, DailyMail.com can reveal.  In an exclusive clip from a Dr. Oz special set to air on Thursday, pathologist Dr. Michael Baden examines photographs of Epstein's eyes and other parts of his lifeless body taken during his autopsy.  Dr. Baden was among physicians in the room when Epstein's autopsy took place.  He says it is highly unusual that the cause of his death went from being undetermined — when it was first ruled — to suicide by hanging five days later.

Jeffrey Epstein used database to keep track of his 'numerous' victims.  Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein kept a harem of abused and trafficked girls as young as 11 that was so large he needed a computer system to keep track of them, according to a new lawsuit filed Wednesday [1/15/2020] against his estate.  The civil lawsuit, filed by Virgin Islands' Attorney General Denise George, also alleges Epstein abused victims on his private Caribbean islands, Little Saint James and Great St. James, as recently as 2019 — expanding the scope of his abuse by 14 years.

Video Footage Outside Epstein's Cell On The Night Of His FIRST Suicide Attempt Has Been Permanently Deleted.  What else can go wrong in this case?  The FBI made the discovery last week when they were attempting to review the video footage of the night in question, but federal prosecutors have just made the information public.  Jeffrey Epstein had attempted to kill himself in July and was put on suicide watch.  After that alleged suicide attempt, it was revealed that Epstein "feared" his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, an absolutely ripped dirty cop who was facing the death penalty for trafficking drugs and killing four men and burying them in his yard.  Tartaglione was cleared of having anything to do with Epstein's attempted suicide but was later removed from the cell.

Jeffrey Epstein's demise was not at his own hands.  Of course Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.  And there's no reason to whisper around that.  It's impossible to conclude otherwise — particularly in the face of the latest announcement about the final hours of the jailed convicted sex offender's life, that video footage of his first suicide attempt had been inadvertently destroyed.  Mistakenly erased.  It "no longer exists," said federal prosecutors.  That's not just curious.  It's beyond-the-pale outrageously suspicious. [...] Epstein's been connected to everyone in positions of high power from presidents to princes.  A pertinent detail?  Absolutely.  Especially when considered in the light of all the other curiosities surrounding his death.

Prosecutors Confirm That Surveillance Video of Jeffrey Epstein's Cell Was Destroyed.  Prosecutors in the case of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have confirmed that the correctional facility housing Epstein destroyed the surveillance footage of his cell while he allegedly attempted suicide days before he was found dead.  Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold filed the letter in Manhattan Federal Court confirming that footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) on July 22 and 23 was mysteriously destroyed, in the latest revelation that casts doubt on the official story.

Feds: The video from Epstein's first suicide attempt has, er, killed itself.  First prosecutors had it, then they didn't.  Then federal officials claimed it had been found.  Today, however, prosecutors told a federal judge that the video of the area in which Jeffrey Epstein was held during his first suicide attempt no longer exists.  When ordered to produce it pursuant to a motion from Epstein's cellmate, it turns out that officials saved the wrong video.

Jail staff "accidentally" deletes footage of Epstein suicide attempt.  In a rather convenient turn of events regarding the "suicide" of Jeffrey Epstein, it seems that the surveillance footage that monitored the outside of his Manhattan jail cell during his first attempt at killing himself magically disappeared.  Well, now the official story is that it was accidentally deleted, after the footage was initially reported as lost and then reported as being found.  This marks the latest opportune accident in the scrutiny towards the death of Epstein.

Footage outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell during suicide attempt [was] erased, say prosecutors.  Surveillance footage capturing the outside of Jeffrey Epstein's cell during his first suicide attempt in July is gone forever, prosecutors confirmed Thursday [1/9/2020] in a bombshell court filing.  The revelation comes after Assistant US Attorney Jason Swergold told White Plains federal Judge Kenneth Karas in December that the footage was missing — and then backtracked the next day, claiming it had been preserved.  In a Thursday [1/9/2020] filing, Swergold admitted that the Metropolitan Correctional Center had preserved footage amid the investigation — only it was the wrong cell in the Lower Manhattan jail.

Oops.  Another unfortunate coincidence.

Photos show Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell on Epstein's 'Lolita Express' jet.  These are the photos revealing Bill Clinton's 2002 trip to Africa aboard Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Express" — with other celebrities and an Epstein accuser in tow.  The slew of images, obtained Thursday [1/9/2020] by The [New York] Post, show a smiling Clinton posing alongside Epstein's alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell and Chauntae Davies, the masseuse who has accused the dead financier of rape.  The humanitarian trip, which Davies says was hosted by Clinton's foundation, also included actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, who appear in shots with Davies and Maxwell.  One photo shows Davies in a blue top next to Clinton, who has his arm slung around her shoulders.

Bill Clinton Pictured with Epstein's 'Pimp' Ghislaine Maxwell and a Sex Slave on Infamous Private Jet "Lolita Express".  New photos of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein's 'pimp' Ghislaine Maxwell and a sex slave on board the private jet "Lolita Express" has surfaced.  The Sun exclusively obtained the photos of Bill Clinton who was also pictured with his arm around Epstein's masseuse and sex slave Chauntae Davies.  Chauntae Davies told The Sun that she was required to wear a pilot's uniform in order to appear 'professional.'  The photos of Bill Clinton were taken on a long distance flight to Africa where he participated in a 5-day 'humanitarian' trip with celebrities such as Kevin Spacey.

Billionaire Ron Burkle's Son Found Dead In Beverly Hills Home.  The 27-year-old son of billionaire tycoon Ron Burkle has been found dead in his Beverly Hills home. [...] His father, Ron Burkle — a co-founder of The Yucaipa Companies and a co-owner of the Penguins hockey team — had raised millions for the Clintons over the years, but notably stayed away from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign during the last election run (instead hosting a fundraiser for one of her potential Republican opponents).  Additionally Ron Burkle was a "friend" of Jeffrey Epstein with flight logs showing the billionaire a frequent flyer to Epstein's island on the so-called Lolita Express.

60 Minutes investigates the death of Jeffrey Epstein.  The New York City Medical Examiner's Office ruled Epstein's death a suicide by hanging, but a forensic pathologist who observed the four-hour autopsy on behalf of Epstein's brother, Mark, tells 60 Minutes the evidence released so far points more to murder than suicide in his view.  Dr. Michael Baden's key reason:  the unusual fractures he saw in Epstein's neck.  "There were fractures of the left, the right thyroid cartilage and the left hyoid bone," Baden said.  "I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging."  "Going over a thousand jail hangings, suicides in the New York City state prisons over the past 40-50 years, no one had three fractures," Baden said.

Jeffrey Epstein's Death Looks Like Murder Not Suicide, Forensic Expert Tells '60 Minutes'.  The controversy surrounding the apparent jail cell suicide of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has taken another turn.  Speaking with "60 Minutes" on CBS, a forensic pathologist who witnessed the autopsy of the 66-year-old says the disgraced financier's death points to murder — not suicide.  "There were fractures of the left, the right thyroid cartilage and the left hyoid bone," Dr. Michael Baden told CBS.  "I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging."

Photos of Jeffrey Epstein Released Following His Death and Autopsy — It Sure Looks Like He was Strangled by Wire!.  In November famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden went on FOX and Friends where he claimed evidence points to homicide over suicide in Jeffrey Epstein's prison death. [...] During the discussion Judge Jeanine and Dr. Baden and showed convincing evidence that Epstein's death was not a suicide.  Epstein's bed was 5'6" tall.  Epstein was 4' tall on his knees.  The noose was found tied to the bed at 3'6'.  According to Dr. Baden the height of the tie would not bring enough force to break ANY bones let alone three bones in his neck.

Ghislaine Maxwell's powerful contacts protecting her in safe houses.  Ghislaine Maxwell — the British socialite who's long been accused of serving as Jeffrey Epstein's madam — is hiding in a series of safe houses and is being "protected because of the information she has on the world's most powerful people."  Maxwell, 58, allegedly procured young women and groomed them to have sex with Epstein and his wealthy pals, but she has remained out of public view after the convicted sex offender's re-arrest last year and his death in jail in August.  She has always denied any wrongdoing.  On the heels of a Reuters report that Maxwell was the main focus of an investigation by the FBI into several "people who facilitated" the dead pedophile's alleged sexual abuse, a source tells Page Six:  "Ghislaine is protected.  She and Jeffrey were assets of sorts for multiple foreign governments.  They would trade information about the powerful people caught in his net — caught at Epstein's house."

Why would someone who denies "any wrongdoing" spend her days hiding and running?

FBI Confirms Maxwell, Others Are Under Investigation For Epstein Ties.  Sources inside the FBI have reportedly confirmed that the bureau is investigating British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and several other unnamed persons suspected of helping multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein recruit and exploit underage girls.  Maxwell, who reportedly dated Epstein in the early 1990s before settling in to a close friendship with the millionaire, has been MIA since Epstein's July arrest.

Missing surveillance footage of Jeffrey Epstein's jail-cell suicide attempt has been found: prosecutors.  The missing footage of the outside of Jeffrey Epstein's cell at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center during his suicide attempt reappeared Thursday — a day after prosecutors said it hadn't been preserved.  "Earlier today, the government confirmed with MCC staff that the video was preserved by MCC staff upon defense counsel's request," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Swergold wrote in a letter to Judge Kenneth Karas.  That was the opposite of what the prosecutor said in White Plains Federal Court on Wednesday [12/18/2019].

This raises a few reasonable questions:  Why is there only one copy of the recording?  Where was it?  That is, who was in possession of it?  Is there now an 18½-minute gap in the recording?  Was someone doctoring the recording frame-by-frame to erase anything from the images?

US Govt Claims Footage Of Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt Has Gone 'Missing'.  How convenient. [...] Just as a reminder, we're being told to believe there was no video recording Epstein's cell at the time of his alleged death, two cameras outside his cell "malfunctioned" and a third went "missing," no guards watching over him, no witnesses and his cellmate was moved out of his cell just one day before his "suicide."  All this while Epstein was the most high-profile inmate in the entire country.

Surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein's first suicide attempt goes missing from Manhattan jail where he was found dead.  Surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide attempt in jail has vanished, it was revealed Wednesday [12/18/2019], as the mystery into the pedophile's death deepens.  In court on Wednesday prosecutors revealed that they could not locate the footage from outside Epstein's cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City when he attempted to take his own life on July 23.  'I don't know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn't retained when it should have been,' lawyer Bruce Barket said in court.

ABC Buried The Jeffrey Epstein Story.  A leaked recording obtained by Project Veritas shows ABC anchor Amy Robach complaining that the network refused to run with her story on Jeffrey Epstein before the revelations surfaced of the hedge fund manager's vast sex trafficking network.  "I've had the story for three years... We would not put it on the air.  Um, first of all, I was told, who's Jeffrey Epstein?  No one knows who that is.  This is a stupid story," Robach said.  "It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we had everything.  Now it's all coming out and it's like these new revelations and I freaking had it."  ABC has since declared war on the whistleblower who leaked the recording instead of coming down on the executives who buried the story.

Epstein's Arkancide.  No one with an IQ above that of a turnip believes wealthy girl slaver Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in a New York prison. [...] Why have so few of Epstein's victims come forward?  Most of them were terribly afraid of him.  Now that he's dead, his procuress buddy English socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, and other women above the age of consent who reportedly tricked girls into his sex slave harem could stand accused.  Problem is the Clintons are involved, and the girls understand many people who have been inconvenient to Bill and Hillary have died horrible deaths.  The Clintons have a trail of several dozen dead bodies behind them.  The highest ranking one?  Ron Brown, their Commerce Secretary who reportedly told Bill he would take him down with him if he was indicted for corruption.

Jeffrey Epstein book claims he and Ghislaine Maxwell were 'Mossad spies' who 'filmed US politicians and power players having sex'.  A new book about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes makes the far-fetched claim that he and Ghislaine Maxwell were in fact spies working for Israel's Mossad and that they lured prominent Western politicians and businessmen into sleeping with underage girls in order to blackmail them.  The claim is made in Epstein:  Dead Men Tell No Tales, a new book by American Media Inc's Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin and several other reporters who claim to have worked for eight years to unravel 'an international conspiracy the likes of which we have never seen before.'  The theory relies on the belief that Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father who died in mysterious circumstances in 1991 after falling from his yacht, was also a Mossad spy — something that has been claimed for years but never proven.

Banker with Ties to Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead from Apparent Suicide.  Banker Thomas Bowers, who worked for a bank that managed Jeffrey Epstein's funds, was recently found dead from an apparent suicide which, according to the Los Angeles Coroner's Report, was via hanging.  He was 55 years old.  Weirder is that those outlets reporting on the banker's death seem adamant to tie the banker and Deutsche Bank to Donald Trump.  Not Jeffrey Epstein.  It took a little digging, but here's what I've found.  Thomas Bowers was the head of wealth management at Deutsche Bank as early as 2012.  According to The New York Times, Epstein was a client of their private-banking division since 2013. [...] Deutsche Bank had connections to Jeffrey Epstein and rather a hard time of unconnecting themselves from the notorious pedophile.  Yet so many outlets are trying to make it sound as if Bowers had more to do with Trump than Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein's private banker found dead by "suicide," model scout MIA.  Jeffrey Epstein's private wealth banker, Thomas Bower, 55, was found dead in his California home before Thanksgiving.  Bower brokered and signed off on multiple millions of dollars in controversial Deutsche Bank and Citibank loans for over two decades.  His death was ruled a "suicide" by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Estate Workers:  Both Clintons Were Frequent Guests At Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico Ranch.  Information [is] breaking today that doesn't look good for Bill and Hillary Clinton in regard to their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. [...] The contractor was security expert Jared Kellogg, who was on the ranch to improve security and was responsible for the camera system on the compound.  He said that Brice Gordon, the manager of the property, bragged about the Clintons being there often.

More about Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.

On the other hand...
Questions Raised About Whether the Clintons Frequented Jeffrey Epstein's NM Ranch.  Information obtained by InsideSources raises questions about a new report that the Clinton family made multiple trips to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch, and a spokesman for the former president says the allegation is "simply not true.  Period."  A DailyMail.com report claims that Bill and Hillary Clinton — along with Chelsea — visited Zorro Ranch "a whole bunch of times" and credited all its attributed allegations to Jared Kellogg, a security analyst based in Albuquerque.  But Kellogg told InsideSources he has no direct knowledge about the Clintons and he got the information during a brief encounter with Brice Gordon — the Zorro Ranch's estate manager — in 2015.  He says Gordon confided in him during a conversation at the ranch about installing lights and other security measures.  "This was all stuff told to me by [Gordon] and I can't verify anything that this guy was telling me," he said.

Jeffrey Epstein, Blackmail and a Lucrative 'Hot List'.  Soon after the sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein died in August, a mysterious man met with two prominent lawyers.  Towering, barrel-chested and wild-bearded, he was a prodigious drinker and often wore flip-flops.  He went by a pseudonym, Patrick Kessler — a necessity, he said, given the shadowy, dangerous world that he inhabited.  He told the lawyers he had something incendiary:  a vast archive of Mr. Epstein's data, stored on encrypted servers overseas.  He said he had years of the financier's communications and financial records — as well as thousands of hours of footage from hidden cameras in the bedrooms of Mr. Epstein's properties.  The videos, Kessler said, captured some of the world's richest, most powerful men in compromising sexual situations — even in the act of rape.

Epstein Tapes?  Sordid Case Takes A Bizarre Turn After Mystery 'Hacker' Emerges.  Shortly after Jeffrey Epstein's August death in a Manhattan detention facility, a shadowy figure claiming to have set up encrypted servers for the convicted sex offender told several attorneys and the New York Times he had a vast archive of incriminating evidence against powerful men stored on overseas servers, including several years worth of the financier's communications and financial records which allegedly showed he had vast amounts of Bitcoin and cash in the Middle East and Bangkok, and hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of gold, silver and diamonds.

Rot at the top:  The Epstein affair.  The Washington Post reported in September that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an exclusive club of mostly Washington, D.C., and New York City insiders, "took no action" against one of its members, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after his crimes were known.  Epstein, a secretive billionaire with high-level connections in academia and government, had attended CFR events and donated $350,000 to the organization, becoming one of its top donors and a member of the "Chairman's Circle."  The CFR kept the money.  Epstein, whose "suicide" in jail has been labeled by some informed observers as murder, may be the most controversial CFR member since communist spy Alger Hiss.  If Epstein was murdered, the question becomes what did he know and when did he know it.  At the CFR, he would have had the opportunity to learn some deep dark secrets about foreign policy matters and the military-intelligence establishment.

ABC Killed Incriminating Story on Jeffrey Epstein; Plus Anchor is Sure He Was Murdered.  Everyone knows about sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.  Everyone knows now.  ABC knew three years ago.  Project Veritas has just released a video revealing that ABC had a story three years ago on his sexual preying on underage girls.  The network killed it.

Deep State Media Whistleblower Double Standard.  [Scroll down]  Exposing Epstein and his clientele is not a priority for the Deep State media.  Perhaps that is because many high-level media executives and their allies in government may be members of Epstein's clientage.  George Stephanopoulos and Katie Couric are known to have attended Epstein events.  There are no flight logs revealing who attended events at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse.  Undoubtedly there were many prominent people attending his parties.  If they did not include powerful politicians Epstein was not doing a very good job.  This is one reason that there is a great deal of speculation that Epstein did not commit suicide.  This is not restricted to the tinfoil hat brigade. [...] The two correctional officers responsible for Epstein's wellbeing are being charged with falsifying prison records and failing to check on Epstein every half hour.  They were responsible for the wellbeing of perhaps the most prominent criminal is U.S. custody.  He had a record of a suicide attempt or an attempt on his life.  It was quite likely that many extremely powerful people wanted him dead.

The Editor says...
I think the biggest reason this case infuriates so many people across the country is that any county sheriff or police chief in the U.S., who took custody of "the most prominent criminal is U.S. custody," would have parked Mr. Epstein in the best cell available and would have parked extra guards at the door of that cell, on overtime if necessary.  If there actually was a conspiracy afoot in this case, I think it's likely that others will lose their lives before they are able to testify about Mr. Epstein's death.

Epstein:  US attorney general blames 'screw-ups' for suicide.  US Attorney General William Barr has called the death of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein "a perfect storm of screw-ups".  In an interview with AP News, Mr Barr said the jailhouse suicide, which came as Epstein awaited trial, was due to a "series" of mistakes.  His comments come after two guards who were responsible for Epstein were charged with falsifying prison records.

Arrest of Epstein prison guards proves his death was suicide:  Former NYC police commissioner.  Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik said that the indictment of two prison guards on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein died should end all the conspiracy theories surrounding the convicted sex offender's death.  Epstein was discovered dead in a cell of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown New York City on the morning of August 10.  The New York City chief medical examiner's office ruled that his death was the result of a suicide, but that did not put an end to speculation.

The Editor says...
An indictment can hardly be accepted as proof of anything — even the guilt of those indicted.  If Mr. Epstein was placed in such a poorly-run prison with lazy and incompetent guards, and surveillance cameras that don't work, that just adds credibility to the notion that someone wanted him to be rubbed out.

Hmm. Epstein Guard Willing To "Cooperate" In Probe.  According to her attorney, one of the guards who was supposed to be checking in on serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell while he was allegedly busy hanging himself is ready to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.  Tova Noel is reportedly ready to talk with prosecutors who are investigating the case, despite the fact that some charges have already been brought against her and one of her colleagues.  So is anyone starting to get nervous about this yet?

Jeffrey Epstein death:  Two jail guards to be charged in suicide probe.  Two corrections officers tasked with guarding Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his suicide are expected to be taken into custody Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the investigation.  The two officers are expected to face charges related to accusations of falsifying prison records at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan, where Epstein died on Aug. 10 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.  Both guards were working overtime at the time of the financier's death and allegedly failed to check on Epstein every half-hour as they were required to do.  The charges stem from the duo falsifying forms to claim they'd carried out the required check-ins.

Epstein's guards turned down a plea deal.  [Scroll down]  In order to offer a plea deal, the prosecutors must have wanted something in return.  Sure, it might have just been a guilty plea to avoid the time and expense of a trial, but what if it was something else?  Is it possible that the guards are part of a group of people who know something that's not being told to the public and they were being offered an easy sentence if they would turn state's evidence on their superiors?  If it winds up being something like that, then the coroner's conclusion about the cause of Epstein's death is back on the table for a fresh look.  As we've discussed multiple times here, nothing about this case smells right and it hasn't from the beginning.  But unless someone with direct knowledge decides to step forward and offer new, plausible testimony, we're stuck with the results that we have now.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch.  Dozens of new photos and video give the most revealing look yet into Jeffrey Epstein's notorious 'baby making ranch' in the New Mexico desert, including his eight person party shower that is outfitted with dozens of bottles of oils, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.  The dead financier used the 10,000-acre Zorro Ranch as a playground for his VIP guests, who he brought to the secluded estate a few times a year, entertaining his entourage of 30 with four-wheelers and rumored illicit activities.  New photos show a staircase leading downstairs, as a former contractor claims the convicted pedophile built a 1,000 sq ft underground 'strip-club' for entertaining his VIP guests with teenage girls.

Will the Epstein Story Ever be Fully Told?  Three months after Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide, many Americans have become convinced that the true story of the international sex-trafficking ring orchestrated by Epstein and his alleged "co-accomplices" will never be fully told. [...] Where did Epstein receive the money to fund his operation, including the acquisition of the largest private residence in Manhattan, two secluded private islands in the Virgin Islands, a secluded "ranch" in New Mexico, two large jets and a helicopter?  Why, for years, did the "watchdog" press display no interest in a scandal that, if fully told, could qualify as the "story of the century," a story that might implicate many more powerful people and government agencies than Watergate? [...] Already elevated, public skepticism about the "investigation" spiked when, five weeks after his arrest, the FBI finally raided Epstein's "Lolita" Island.  Epstein's "ranch" in New Mexico has still not been searched.

'Epstein Didn't Kill Himself' printed on California brewery's beer cans.  Tactical Ops Brewing started printing the special message Wednesday [11/6/2019] on the blue cans for the Freso-based firm's Basher Oatmeal Stout.  Manager Carlos Tovar told Fox 26 that he got the idea about a week ago — which would have been when famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden made international headlines by insisting Epstein's autopsy "points toward homicide rather than suicide."

Clinton buddy Stephanopoulos the real reason ABC sat on that Epstein story?  [Scroll down]  There's been a lot of jokes about the Clintons on the right about how the Clintons are probably the ones who did Epstein in in that famous prison "suicide" from earlier this year, given that very few such suicides have ever happened, and a recent medical examiner said that Epstein's death looked far more consistent with homicide.  Pavlich's observation, if true, signals that the Clintons sure as heck did something to keep the story out of the news.

ABC Spiking Epstein Story Reactionpalooza.  Assuming you're not getting your news from unreliable sources like ABC, you've probably already seen the Project Veritas tape with ABC news reporter Amy Robach, about how her network spiked a story on Jeffrey Epstein's pdophile ring three years ago.  [Video clip]  Like every other normal person in America, she thinks Epstein was murdered.  Naturally, when this story came out, ABC vowed to find out who spiked the Epstein story and terminate them.  Ha!  Just kidding!  They've sworn to track down and punish the leaker.  Because what's protecting a serial pedophile compared to punishing those who have tarnished your reputation by revealing the truth?

'We Had Everything': ABC News Host Caught on Hot Mic Venting About Spiked Epstein Story.  ABC executives buckled to outside pressure and spiked a story detailing underage sex trafficking allegations against financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein three years ago, an ABC Good Morning America co-host suggested in video footage obtained by Project Veritas.  Last August, nearly 2,000 court documents detailing Epstein's trafficking of teenage girls in Palm Beach, New York and overseas were unsealed in a federal civil case in New York.  Shortly thereafter, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.

ABC's Excuse for Failing to Report on Jeffrey Epstein Makes Absolutely No Sense.  James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, a group that has often infiltrated news organizations to uncover liberal bias, has released an explosive "hot mic" video of Good Morning America co-host Amy Robach venting about ABC's decision to spike a story about Jeffrey Epstein's nefarious activities three years ago.  "I had this interview with [Epstein victim] Virginia Roberts," Robach is seen saying in the video, "we would not put it on the air.  The [British royal] Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.  We were afraid we wouldn't be able to interview Kate and Will that we, that also quashed the story."  Robach now claims, through a network statement, that she was caught "in a private moment" of frustration over the lack of progress on a story.

Project Veritas:  Leaked ABC News Insider Recording Exposes #EpsteinCoverup "We had Clinton, We had Everything".  [Scroll down]  "[Amy] Robach goes on to express she believes that Epstein was killed in prison saying, "So do I think he was killed?  100% Yes, I do... He made his whole living blackmailing people... Yup, there were a lot of men in those planes.  A lot of men who visited that Island, a lot of powerful men who came into that apartment."

Jeffrey Epstein's Death: The Plot Thickens.  [Scroll down]  In his televised remarks, [Dr. Michael] Baden stated that, rather than hanging, the findings at autopsy were more consistent with "ligature homicidal strangulation."  As described by Baden, Epstein was "allegedly found hanging by a homemade ligature of sheets."  But autopsy disclosed three fractures of the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone (a horseshoe-shaped bone in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage).  According to Baden, such fractures "are very unusual for suicide and are more indicative of homicidal strangulation."  He also noted that the assistant medical examiner who did the autopsy "didn't think that there was enough information to say it was suicide."  So at the time of the autopsy, the assistant medical examiner put the manner of death as "pending further study."  But, Baden stated, a week later that was changed from "pending further study" to "suicide," and Epstein's family wants to know why.

Fox News guest blurts out: 'Epstein didn't kill himself'.  A former Navy SEAL invited on Fox News to talk about military dogs suddenly went off-topic when he blurted out, "Epstein didn't kill himself."  Warrior Dog Foundation founder Mike Ritland was on "Watters' World" Saturday to discuss the heroism of dogs like Conan, the Belgian Malinois wounded as he helped take down ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.  At the end of his segment, Ritland asked to do a "PSA" to discourage people from rushing out to adopt the military-used dogs — then sneaked in at the end, "And Epstein didn't kill himself."  "Alright," host Jesse Waters initially replied, quickly breaking into laughter as it appeared to sink in what the former SEAL had said.

Trevor Noah To Hillary Clinton: 'How Did You Kill Jeffrey Epstein?'.  "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah had one burning question for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Thursday night:  "How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?"  Hillary and her daughter Chelsea are on a media tour promoting their new book "Gutsy Women."  The two found Noah's question amusing as they laughed with the audience.

Trevor Noah asks Hillary Clinton how she killed Jeffrey Epstein.  A "vast right-wing conspiracy" still hounds Hillary Clinton, who was jokingly asked by "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah how she managed to kill pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan jail cell.  "I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while:  How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?" Noah asked, drawing laughter from Clinton, 71, and the New York studio audience on Thursday [10/31/2019].

The Editor says...
The question was most likely suggested or written by Hillary's staff.  Having people rubbed out is no laughing matter, but this was a way to apply derisive mockery to anyone who suggests that the Clintons' enemies tend to die suddenly and/or mysteriously.

The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck.  [Scroll down]  Marc Siegel, Fox News' medical correspondent, told the network on Thursday [9/15/2019]:  "The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely — and again, this is a percentage call — more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide."  Radio show host Alex Jones, who runs InfoWars, also discussed the possibility that Epstein was murdered, claiming that he was "screaming and begging for his life during his final moments," according to InfoWars.  As the possibility of strangulation gained traction on Thursday, other medical experts moved to shut down the theory that the broken bones was evidence of foul play.

Was Jeffrey Epstein's death suicide or homicide?  Dr. Siegel says one appears 'more likely'.  Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel said Thursday [9/15/2019] that it's "more likely" Jeffrey Epstein's death was a homicide rather than a suicide, following a full autopsy of Epstein's body that reportedly found broken bones in his neck.  "The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely, and again, this is a percentage call, more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide," Siegel said during an interview on "America's Newsroom."  Siegel said he is still waiting for more information before rendering a final opinion, but expressed suspicion and skepticism about the details surrounding Epstein's death.  "It can either be a suicide or a homicide still... I am now more suspicious than ever that this could be a homicide," he said.

Why You Might Not Want to Believe Michael Baden, Celebrity Pathologist, on Epstein's Death.  he August death of Jeffrey Epstein in a New York City jail has been subject to all manner of conspiracy-minded speculation.  The October 30 opinion of Michael Baden, the forensic pathologist hired by Epstein's brother, that the manner of death "points to homicide rather than suicide," contradicting the conclusion of the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, will almost certainly stoke further speculation that Epstein, awaiting trial on federal child-pornography charges, met with foul play.  Whether that speculation is warranted interested me far less than the 85-year-old man giving this dissenting opinion.  Michael Baden has spent decades as the go-to freelance medical examiner on the media and lecture circuit.

Forensic Investigator:  Jeffrey Epstein's Autopsy More Consistent with Homicide.  Financier and convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein — whose death was ruled a suicide by the New York City medical examiner's office — was likely murdered, famed forensic pathologist and Fox News contributor Dr. Michael Baden said on Fox & Friends this morning [10/30/2019] after examining Epstein's body.  "I've not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case," he said of the particular fractures found on Epstein's neck.  Epstein was found hanging in his Manhattan prison cell on August 10 and was later declared dead.

Is the "Dead" Epstein Photographer CIA?  How did renowned photographer William Farrington know the "dead" Jeffrey Epstein would be wheeled out on a gurney at the NYC Metropolitan Correctional Center?  His photo of a man who does not resemble Epstein.  It went viral and is being used as proof the notorious pedophile died in prison as a result of suicide.  "Looking at this man, he shares an uncanny resemblance to Roger Farrington, CIA celebrity photographer famed for his work in the Boston area in the 1970s. [...] Photos of the two men do strike an uncanny resemblance.  I cannot prove Roger-William Farrington works for the CIA, but I wouldn't be surprised.  The deep state and its cronies are busy at work trying to bury this story and hide the vast pedophile and sex slave network maintained by the elite. [...] I don't believe Epstein is dead.  I also believe the man Farrington took the photo of was not only not Epstein, but also wasn't dead.

Is The Death of Epstein Even Credible?  [Scroll down]  I don't trust the supposed Epstein autopsy report.  It says the pedo had broken neck bones.  This was attributed to an alleged suicide by hanging.  The corporate media published this as a fact without bothering to see evidence and simply going on the word of a government report that said Epstein's hyoid bone was broken.  In the past, alleged suicides were later said to be homicides, primarily due to studies showing this bone rarely breaks in suicide hangings.  It is more common in strangulation. [...] The media has its script — Epstein killed himself, these things happen in prisons (broken cameras, sleeping guards), even maximum-security prisons, and anybody who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist, [...]

Strange Things Are Happening on Epstein Island:  Drone Footage.  Ever since Jeffrey Epstein's highly suspicious death in a maximum-security prison, things only got more suspicious.  Although the autopsy officially concluded that the cause of death was suicide, a steady flow of facts and revelations are strongly hinting towards a massive cover-up.  First, it was recently revealed that two cameras filming the jail cell of Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his death were "broken" and the recordings were deemed "unusable" by authorities.  Second, two guards allegedly "slept through" scheduled checks on Epstein and falsified records.  Third, Frenchman Jean-Luc Brunel, the model mogul suspected of being a Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking pipeline in Paris, "has disappeared like a ghost without a trace".  While mass media has been carefully filtering some of this information while ignoring other facts, the Rusty Shackleford YouTube channel has been providing a raw, unfiltered source of information by posting, on a regular basis, drone footage of Epstein Island and its surroundings.

Lawyer For Epstein's 'Madam' Says 'Hundreds Of Names' [are] Contained In Upcoming Records Dump.  An attorney for Jeffrey Epstein confidant (and alleged groomer) Ghislaine Maxwell told a judge on Wednesday that there are "hundreds" of people named in what is expected to be approximately 2,000 pages of documents ordered unsealed by the federal appeals court in New York, according to Bloomberg.

Police: Epstein confidant has 'disappeared without a trace'.  An associate of the alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who ran a modeling empire is now a "ghost who has disappeared without a trace," according to investigators who are interested in speaking to him.  Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, was a member of Epstein's inner circle and ran an international modeling agency.  Some have alleged that Brunel used his connections in the agency to gain closer access to young women and "recruit" them into Epstein's sex trafficking circle.  Prosecutors in the United States and France are currently seeking the whereabouts of Brunel.  Investigations into Brazil, the U.S., and France are all said to part of the ongoing search.

Millionaire Thought To Have Key Info On Epstein Vanishes 'Without A Trace'.  The founder of a modeling agency, believed by authorities to possess key information about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has now gone missing as law enforcement officials desperately search for his whereabouts.  "Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, has vanished as police seek to ask the Frenchman 'urgent' questions about the pedophile," the Daily Mail reported.  "Investigators are making inquiries in Brazil [and] the U.S., and European and French prosecutors are also pursuing claims relating to the financier, who died aged 66 before he could face the latest allegations."  A reported source in Paris told the Daily Mirror that Brunel "is a ghost who has disappeared without a trace."

Key Witness in Jeffrey Epstein Case Vanishes 'Without a Trace'.  A key witness, in the child sex trafficking case against deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has vanished "without a trace" as authorities "urgently" seek him for questioning, according to reports.  Millionaire model agency boss Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, has been described as Epstein's alleged "fixer" or "provider" of underage girls.  Investigators hunting for Brunel, however, say the Frenchman "has disappeared like a ghost without a trace."

The Editor says...
If I had first-hand knowledge of Mr. Epstein's business, I'd make myself disappear, too.

Update:
Eventually they found him and locked him up; but then on February 19, 2022, Mr. Brunel was found dead in his jail cell in La Santé prison, after allegedly hanging himself.

Jeffrey Epstein, Red Pill.  You got a problem with cheap mystery novels?  This is a great mystery, starting with whether Epstein really killed himself.  The circumstantial evidence on that question is mounting:  Epstein's roommate pulled from his cell the day before he died, guards falling asleep, jailhouse video cameras that, gee, unexpectedly malfunction.  At some point, Occam's razor begins to cut in another direction. [...] It's pretty clear that Epstein was running some kind of a sex ring for the rich and well connected.  How big a ring?  We don't know until we try to find out.  But there are reports out there [click if you dare] that it's bigger than we might think — bigger than old, familiar Prince Andrew, involving a non-trivial cross-section of business and entertainment leaders, plus some prominent Anglo-American families and maybe a handful of nation states.

Epstein's Own Lawyers Tell Court He Likely Died By "Assault" As Federal Case [is] Dropped.  Epstein's own defense team doesn't buy the suicide narrative, apparently, as one of his lawyers on Tuesday [8/27/2019] voiced deep skepticism that he hanged himself while addressing a final hearing in a Manhattan US District Court on Tuesday, which was held to formally dismiss the charges as is typical when the accused is deceased, but also to still allow testimony of some of the victims.  Defense lawyer Reid Weingarten told Judge Richard Berman during the hearing that Epstein's injuries are "far more consistent with assault" than suicide, especially given the broken bones in his neck discovered during the autopsy after he was found dead in his jail cell on Aug. 10.

Oops!  One of several convenient coincidences.
FBI studies two broken cameras outside cell where Epstein died: source.  Two cameras that malfunctioned outside the jail cell where financier Jeffrey Epstein died as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges have been sent to an FBI crime lab for examination, a law enforcement source told Reuters.

Report:  TWO Cameras Outside Jeffrey Epstein's Cell 'Malfunctioned'.  Two cameras (at least) which were filming outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell magically "malfunctioned," according to a new report from Reuters citing an anonymous law enforcement source.

Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers highly 'skeptical' of suicide ruling, say he wasn't 'despairing, despondent' before death.  A defense lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday expressed deep skepticism that the wealthy financier died by hanging himself in a Manhattan federal jail while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges, as a medical examiner has ruled.  The injuries suffered by Epstein are "far more consistent with assault" than suicide, the lawyer, Reid Weingarten, told Judge Richard Berman in U.S. District Court in Manhattan during a hearing.  Weingarten cited the defense's own medical sources.  Broken bones were found in Epstein's neck during an autopsy after he died Aug. 10.

What Happened to the Epstein Story?  [Jeffrey] Epstein's July 6 arrest and subsequent death made a lot of headlines.  Now, two weeks after his death, the story has nearly disappeared.  Epstein died on August 10 and had a broken hyoid bone.  This is, in the words of pathologists, more often indicative of death in a struggle, such as strangulation.  But New York City Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson concluded it was suicide.  The New York Times reported that her report conclusively disposed of "a wave of unfounded conspiracy theories" that he may have been killed.  You see, when an official says something, that's the end of the discussion.  Homicides are never mistaken for suicides.  Experts never disagree.  Consider the facts.  Epstein was the most notorious prisoner in federal custody.  No one has committed suicide at MCC since 1998.  Epstein had attempted suicide once already and remained on suicide watch only for six days after his previous suicide attempt on July 23.  Reports attributed to his team suggest that he was, in fact, attacked in that earlier incident.  His cellmate was moved on the night of his death, and he was left alone.

Jeffrey Epstein:  Another Clinton-related 'suicide'.  It is amazing that every time the Clintons face incarceration, someone who has incriminating evidence dies.  Before there was the Hillary email scandal, there was Whitewater, there was Travelgate, and there was the hiding of records from Vince Foster's office after his apparent suicide. [...] There is a joke going around that former FBI director James Comey decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton because he found his suicide note in her files.  It doesn't seem so funny anymore.

Lawyer Of Epstein Accuser Has Info That He Did Not Commit Suicide — He Was Murdered.  The official report says suicide.  The lawyer for an Epstein accuser says murder.  And he apparently has proof.

Jeffrey Epstein was MURDERED, claims victims' lawyer after 'receiving new information from prison source'.  A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein's victims says he has obtained new information that suggests the billionaire paedo did NOT commit suicide but was murdered.  Spencer Kuvin, who accurately predicted that shamed financier would not last until his trial, told Sun Online he had been contacted by an anonymous prison worker who claimed it was "highly unlikely" the perv killed himself. [...] Kuvin said:  "I received a call from a supervisor at the MCC, which is the jail that Mr Epstein was held.  "The first words out of his mouth to be honest were, 'Don't believe what you are hearing' in regards to Epstein's death.

As Long as Enemies of the State Keep Dying Before Trial, No One Should Trust the State.  The official narrative of billionaire accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's death shifted faster than a New York subway rider when a homeless guy plops down next to them on a hot day.  First, they said Epstein had been on suicide watch, and then that he hadn't.  Prisons are full of cameras, yet there's still no video of Epstein's death.  Then, suicide watch or not, they claimed he'd been checked on every 30 minutes.  Then more like every three hours.  The medical examiner said his injuries were consistent with strangulation by a second person, but then thought better of it and ruled Epstein's convenient demise a suicide. [...] Whatever happened or didn't, the Epstein-Clinton connection is sketchy.  As is Epstein's suicide — the first at the Manhattan Correctional Facility since 1998.

Epstein Autopsy:  Forensic Pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht says it's not possible to break bones just by leaning forward from a bed.  [Video clip]

Nothing to see here.  "This guy seems very interested in following Epstein's Corpse!"

Epstein's Cellmate Told There Will be a "Price to Pay" if He Talks.  Jeffrey Epstein's former cellmate claims he was told there would be a "price to pay" if he talked about the sex trafficker's alleged suicide and is begging to be transferred to another jail. [...] Epstein's suicide has now largely disappeared from the headlines, with many of the high profile clients he provided "services" for breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Jeffrey Epstein's Visitor Records While Serving Work Release Were Mysteriously Destroyed.  The fishy details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the child sex predator and prominent Democratic Party donor who died of an alleged suicide earlier this month, continues to get more bizarre by the day, as it becomes more obvious that the paper trail that could connect prominent figures to his illicit sex ring is drying up.

Poll:  Only 29 Percent Of Americans Believe Jeffrey Epstein Committed Suicide.  Only 29 percent of American adults believe Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in jail, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports. [...] Just as a reminder, we're being told to believe there was no video recording his cell at the time of his alleged death, no guards watching over him (one of the guards that was alleged supposed to be watching over him wasn't even a corrections officer), no witnesses and his cellmate was moved out of his cell just one day before his "suicide."

Epstein Felt He Would Win [His] Case — [It] Appears He Was Murdered.  Jeffrey Epstein told his attorney he would win his case.  He was in extremely good spirits and felt optimistic.  His attorneys felt he was delusional, but that was unimportant to them.  It is certainly clear to me he was living several cells down from someone he feared and with good reason.  The hulking former police officer shared a cell with Epstein in the beginning of his incarceration.  From what I am learning the officer shared a cell with him while he was on suicide watch.  However, two weeks before he died, Epstein told the prison warden the convicted murderous officer roughed him up so badly he had to be taken to the hospital. [...] Although bones were broken in his neck consistent with homicide, his death is said to be a suicide.  I no longer believe he committed suicide, and I believe his killer was planted very close to him.  The clear fact there was nothing recorded tells us all we need to know.

We Are All Conspiracy Theorists Now.  As the story goes, Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself with a jail bedsheet in the early morning hours of Saturday, August 10.  Six days later, New York City's medical examiner announced that the cause of death was suicide by hanging.  Problem is, nobody I know believes this.  And according to a Rasmussen poll, only 29% of Americans believe the official story.  A full 42% of them say they believe he was murdered.  Of those who claim they've been following the case "very closely," a robust 56% say they believe he was murdered. [...] Two guards had been assigned to check on Epstein every 30 minutes.  They apparently stopped doing this around 3:30 AM on Saturday and didn't return to his cell until they "discovered" his corpse at 6:30 AM, although they allegedly made log entries lying about having routinely visited him.  According to the official party line, they had both fallen asleep, for about three hours.  At first it was said that the cellblock's cameras had malfunctioned, meaning there was no video of Epstein's possible suicide.  Later it was said there was video, but nothing was divulged about what the video did or didn't show.  It's hard to know what to believe when the stories keep changing so quickly.

The Epstein Incident [is] Another Blow to Government and Media Credibility.  "Conspiracy theorists" are routinely dismissed as being on the fringes of society.  However, in this case it will be difficult to dismiss the large number of well-respected individuals on the left and right who find the official account unbelievable.  Everything the government did with Epstein from his arrested on July 7 to his apparent suicide on August 10 was a predictable hurtle to disaster. [...] It is no secret that many powerful people wanted Epstein silenced.  He was perhaps the most important prisoner ever housed in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.  To treat him like an ordinary prisoner suggests that the administration wanted Epstein to meet his end in its prison.  The warden was aware of this staffing shortage and could have remedied the situation with a phone call.  All of these factors have led to a great deal of skepticism among some fairly knowledgable and influential people.

Epstein and the Public Loss of Faith.  The death of Jeffrey Epstein in the MCC federal jail has touched off no end of speculation.  While the medical examiner's conclusion indicating it was suicide has been made public, the report itself has not been released.  Many don't believe it.

Dr. Cyril Wecht on Epstein Death:  "Have Not Seen" Multiple Fractures in "Simple Leaning Into Suicide Hanging" In Over 20,000 Autopsies.  Dr. Cyril Wecht joined Kennedy on FOX Business Network on Wednesday night to discuss Jeffrey autopsy results.  Dr. Wecht, who is a doctor and lawyer, told Kennedy a Montreal study found only 2 of 239 hanging death resulted in a broken Hyoid bone — or less than 1% of those killed.  Top US inmate and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein suffered broken bones in his neck and a broken Hyoid bone that is more common in strangulation deaths.  Wecht added that every prisoner in the MCC on his floor should be questioned about his death.

Medical Professor Casts Doubt On Epstein's Cause Of Death.  An NYU Medical Professor, Dr. Marc Siegel, claims that there may have been foul play due to what parts of the neck were injured.  "The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely, and again, this is a percentage call, more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide," Siegel said.  "It can either be a suicide or a homicide still.  I am now more suspicious than ever that this could be a homicide, number one because of the bones." Siegel claimed.

New York medical examiner:  Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.  Dr. Barbara Sampson said that "after careful review of all investigative information, including complete autopsy findings, the determination on the death of Jeffrey Epstein" was that its "cause" was "hanging" and its "manner" was "suicide," according to a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.  The medical examiner's office said Epstein appeared to have tied a bedsheet to the top of a bunk bed and then moved toward the floor with enough force to break bones in his neck, according to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

3 Epstein lawyers challenge autopsy results, some MCC prison staff clam up.  Three of Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys are not buying the New York City Medical Examiner's ruling that the sex offender committed suicide August 10.  "We are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner.  We will have a more complete response in the coming days," the lawyers said in a joint statement Friday evening after the chief medical examiner ruled out foul play earlier in the day.  The three had hired a private pathologist to observe the autopsy.  It is "indisputable that the authorities violated their own protocols," their statement read.  Lawyers Martin G. Weinberg, Reid Weingarten, and Michael Miller said they would conduct their own investigation, and will seek court help, as necessary, to get access to available "pivotal" MCC video of areas from around Epstein's cell.

Epstein "suicide" conspiracies:  Clinton Body Count, MI-6, or Mossad?  The Jeffrey Epstein "suicide" is looking more and more like an Agatha Christie novel.  Did Epstein take his own life?  You have to ask, was he the modern-day equivalent of Lee Harvey Oswald, silenced by Jack Ruby because he knew too much?  Or is Epstein more like the fictional gangster Frank Pantangeli in Godfather II.  Slitting his wrists in Federal custody and taking his secrets with him.  Or is Epstein just another not too surprising addition to the Clinton Body Count?  The conspiracy theories are many.

Epstein's ex-bodyguard fuels more speculation when he gives probing reporter cryptic warnings.  Former UFC fighter Igor Zinoviev was reached by New York Magazine's M.L. Nestel and spoke about the late billionaire and accused sex trafficker who died of an apparent suicide last weekend while awaiting trial in New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center.  Zinoviev, who also drove Epstein around in Palm Beach, Florida and assisted with some fitness training when he was employed by the convicted sex offender, implied that there was more behind the suicide.

You Should Totally Trust Our Elite Institutions... Not.  No, it's not insane to think there might be more to it and to want to see what AG Barr's dual investigations uncover.  It's interesting that Barr is having both the FBI and IG investigate.  It's almost as if he doesn't trust our institutions either in the wake of Epstein getting Lee Harvey'd.  Basically, the best-case scenario here is that our government is unbelievably incompetent, not a particularly soothing thought.  But the alternative is that it is corrupt and criminal in ways we can barely imagine.

Epstein's Autopsy Finds Multiple Broken Bones In Neck; Raises Questions.  Although Epstein's death has been characterized as an "apparent suicide," many believe it may have been a murder instead.  A preliminary result such as this is sure to give credence to that theory.  There are certainly many people who had an interest in seeing Epstein silenced.

Report: Prison Worker's Post 10 Minutes Before Media Reported Epstein's Death:  "Guy In Green Dress Military Outfit... Switched Him Out".  I have questioned whether or not the alleged "suicide" of Jeffrey Epstein was faked in order to get him out of the prison and safely away somewhere, probably his island.  His previous "attempt" was also considered an elaborate hoax to get bail.  Earlier this week, a report came out that provided a screenshot that a post on 4Chan indicated that Epstein had been "switched out" by a "guy in a green dress military outfit" prior to the reports of Epstein's death.

Arkancide.  How many people do you know that have committed suicide or have been murdered?  Then think of how many people the Clintons know who have committed suicide or have been murdered.  Some of the murders have been weird like Seth Rich who was killed in a robbery where nothing was taken. [...] Epstein had the goods on a lot of powerful people.  He had to be silenced and he was.  Too bad he didn't leave a dead man switch that if sumpin' happened to him a lot of stuff would come out that would bring a lot of people down.

Dr. Marc Siegel "More Suspicious Than Ever" Epstein Was Murdered.  Dr. Marc Siegel says that in the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy results being revealed, he is "more suspicious than ever" that the sex trafficker was murdered.  "The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely, and again, this is a percentage call, more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide," Siegel told Fox News.

Report: Jeffrey Epstein Autopsy Reveals Broken Neck Bones.  According to the New York Post, Epstein was discovered with a bedsheet around his neck which was tied to his bunk bed.  "The convicted pedophile, who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose," the paper stated.

The second scenario:  Not suicide, but someone wanting Epstein gone, gets steam.  There were reports of screams at dawn.  There were people who've been in prison who argue that no one can commit suicide in that lockup.  There were reports that Epstein wasn't suicidal and thought that someone tried to kill him earlier.  If any of these are true, and I can't tell at this point, the guard incompetence cited could very well be a dog-ate-my-homework sort of cover-up.

Experts: Broken Bones in Jeffrey Epstein's Neck 'Are Common In Victims of Homicide by Strangulation'.  According to the official story released by the authorities, Epstein's guards fell asleep during their duty and failed to check on him for three hours, which supposedly gave him time enough to hang himself.  Simultaneously, the camera system failed to work.  Oh, and he magically found some tools to hang himself — in a maximum-security prison.  And then there's the fact that his cellmate was removed from his cell, meaning that Epstein was all alone, which "violated the jail's procedures."

Autopsy finds broken bones in Jeffrey Epstein's neck, deepening questions around his death.  An autopsy found that financier Jeffrey Epstein sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones, according to two people familiar with the findings, deepening the mystery about the circumstances around his death.  Among the bones broken in Epstein's neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam's apple.  Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject.  But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.

They're watching the Epstein case from abroad, too.  Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein case is that the eyes of the world, including those of unfriendly powers, are watching.  What would they make of a justice system that first goes for years allowing a well-connected pedophile to operate, and then when the law finally catches up to him, allows him to mysteriously die in prison, a claimed suicide.  And to make us all believe the unbelievable, a new tale is now being spun about guard incompetence, mysteriously non-recording cameras, a few screams at dawn, a missing roommate, someone who wasn't a guard guarding, an irregularly placed bedsheet, questions of why the inmate was or wasn't on suicide watch, and other errors.  These don't occur in civilized countries within systems that employ prison guards making six-figure incomes, or at least, not until now.  The whole thing suggests some kind of payoff, some kind of arranged death or intentional failure to prevent one.

Report: Maxwell Told Friend That Epstein's Entire Island Was Wired For Video, Presumably For Blackmail Purposes.  I'm revising my theory about that mysterious temple on Epstein's Pedophile Island.  Old theory:  The temple is a satanic playground where Epstein and his jetset cohorts would do unspeakable things to children as part of some ritual sacrifice to Zozo or whoever.  New theory:  The temple is actually a massive surveillance hub where Epstein would review and store all of the blackmail footage he'd recorded of his guests on the island.  And also a satanic playground where he and his pals would do unspeakable things to children as part of some ritual sacrifice to Zozo or whoever.

The Morning Briefing:  Epstein's Death Just Got Weirder, Shocked Face Edition.  At this point, one might run the risk of actually spraining something while trying to avoid a conspiracy theory.  Another few days of coincidences piling up the way they have been since Saturday and investigators are going to have to wear hazmat suits to wade through the toxic B.S.

Epstein dead or alive?  Body photos raise questions.  As WND reported Sunday, the public has been told that Epstein was found dead, the victim of an "apparent suicide," and even though an autopsy has been performed, the New York City medical examiner's office still "needed more information before determining the cause of death," according to NBC News.  [Rush] Limbaugh explained:  "If Epstein was gonna commit suicide, he had to have assistance. [...] I'm tending to think the guy's not dead.  "I'm tending to think they got him out of there.  He's on a different island now that he bought before all this happened.  They've somehow transferred some of his wealth so he has somewhere to live.  I mean, if we're gonna create conspiracy theories, let's have at it.  Let's just have at it.  We've gotten to the point in American society where nobody trusts anything that the government says, except the left.  And everybody doubts this."

Epstein guards suspected of falsifying logs to show they were checking on him: report.  Guards at the New York City jail facility where Jeffrey Epstein is said to have killed himself are suspected of falsifying log entries to show they were checking on the alleged sex trafficker and other inmates with greater regularity than was the case, according to a Tuesday report.  Surveillance video reviewed after Epstein's death shows guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center did not make some of the checks they claimed to have made in their logs, a source told the Associated Press.  The New York Times reported, citing unnamed officials, that the guards fell asleep at some point and did not check on him for up to three hours.  The federal jail workers claimed they were checking on inmates in Epstein's unit every half hour, but investigators now believe that was not the case.

Jeffrey Epstein Attorney:  He Was Concerned For His Life.  Jeffrey Epstein was concerned for his life after an incident in the jail in late July that sources at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York said was an attempted suicide, said Criminal Defense Attorney David Schoen, who had visited Epstein on Aug. 1, at the facility.  Schoen had been speaking to Epstein weeks prior and deliberating whether or not to take on the federal sex trafficking case authorities had brought against the billionaire.  He was being held without bail for child sex trafficking, as well as conspiracy charges.  Epstein pleaded not guilty.  He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted and the mystery surrounding his death deepened with his alleged suicide Saturday. [...] Epstein had been put into a cell with a very dangerous former police officer, accused of killing four people and the incident regarding his alleged suicide in July needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Was Epstein's Accomplice Ready To Spill The Beans?  Guess who will end up holding the bag after Jeffrey Epstein's abrupt and ignominious end?  Now that the pedophile sex-trafficker is dead, his victims and prosecutors will have to turn their attention elsewhere for justice.  And that means Ghislaine Maxwell just went from the most-sought witness to Public Enemy #1 over the weekend. [...] What might be more of interest to investigators at the moment is where Maxwell is.  She sold her townhouse in Manhattan three years ago, and has been in the wind ever since.

Why was Jeffrey Epstein's death on 4chan before it became public?  The New York City Fire Department has launched an investigation into whether Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide was leaked by a first responder on internet message board 4chan before officials announced the death, according to a report.  The supposed leak was posted to the anonymous message board 4chan at 8:16 a.m.  Saturday, around 40 minutes before The [New York] Post broke the news of the convicted pedophile's death, Buzzfeed News reported.

Former AAG Matt Whitaker — Epstein's Custodial Suicide is "Fishy".  Former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker appears on Fox News with Lou Dobbs to discuss immigration judges and a unionization ruling.  However, when the discussion turned to Jeffrey Epstein, even AAG Whitaker said common sense tells us something about this is "fishy".  [Video clip]

Jeffrey Epstein Fallout Shows How Little Trust Americans Have in Media and Government.  he reaction to the news Saturday morning that sex-trafficker-to-the-stars Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had committed suicide while in federal custody was nearly universal:  No one was buying the "official" story.  Hashtags about the Clintons' suspected culpability in Epstein's death immediately dominated social media.  People who had predicted Epstein would be dead before he faced trial felt vindicated.  Suspicions about the "official line" on Epstein's suicide were bipartisan.  Trump foes on the Left, eager to pin the death on the president and his attorney general, proffered their own skepticism about what happened Saturday at a federal prison in Manhattan:  "You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see an evil coverup to protect lots of powerful men here.  You'd have to be bizarrely naive not to," tweeted Harvard law professor and Trump hater Laurence Tribe.

FBI raids Jeffrey Epstein's 'pedophile island' estate as investigation continues.  FBI agents — accompanied by Customs personnel, local police and New York City officers, according to a Virgin Islands source — fanned out in golf carts across Epstein's estate on Little St. James Island.  They scooped up evidence just two days after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell of an apparent suicide while in federal custody in Manhattan.

The Editor says...
Okay, they "scooped up evidence."  For what purpose?  Will the evidence get "lost" like Hillary's emails?  The central question now is this:  Can the FBI be trusted?

The Elaborate Rescue Of Jeffrey Epstein By The Clintons.  There are only two possibilities concerning Jeffrey Epstein, 1, he was outed via a professional hit, or 2, he was secretly released and placed in the witness protection program.  The efforts to keep the public from seeing Epstein's body being taken out of the corrections facility to an ambulance by trying to block the view with medical curtains is the biggest red flag of them all.  If everything went down as they want us to believe it did, blocking the view would not have been even thought of.  If Epstein were actually dead, there would have been no reason to hide the body from view.  So, we can assume he was released into the custody of either the FBI or DOJ to continue his business as usual of running a pedophile sex resort.  Which is so vital to many politicians in office today and the Hollywood elite.  The mastermind behind such an elaborate scheme and who would have the experience to make it happen would have to go to the Clinton hit squad.  Aside from having a long record of eliminating anyone who poses a threat to Bill and Hillary they also are their cleanup team in destroying evidence and anything linking the Clinton's and their friends to various crimes.

Epstein Dead: 5 Hard Facts You NEED to Know!  Steven Crowder goes through the absolutely insane — and REAL — facts surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's case and "suicide."  [Video clip]

NY Post:  Jeffrey Epstein Used Bedsheet to Hang Himself.  Accused sex child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was discovered Saturday inside his New York City prison cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck that was tied to his bunk bed.  "The convicted pedophile, who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose, a law enforcement source said Monday," according to the New York Post.

The Day Jeffrey Epstein Told Me He Had Dirt on Powerful People.  Almost exactly a year ago, on Aug. 16, 2018, I visited Jeffrey Epstein at his cavernous Manhattan mansion.  The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it.  He also claimed to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.

The FBI Raids Epstein Island, Six Weeks Too Late.  Jeffrey Epstein was taken into federal custody way back on June 6, six full weeks ago, and the raging dumpster fire that is Christopher Wray's FBI just now finally got around to "raiding" the pedophile's "Pedo Island". That's right, it took them six weeks to finally think, hey, maybe we ought to go see if we can, like, find some evidence or something on the island which was, if all the documents and flight logs and depositions and affidavits are to be believed, the epicenter of Epstein's human slavery pedophilia ring.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik:  Cameras in Hallway Will Show Who Entered Jeffrey Epstein Prison Cell and at What Time.  Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik joined Sean Hannity on Monday [8/12/2019] to discuss the surprise death of multi-millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Lower Manhattan.  Kerik, as the former NYPD Commissioner, is very familiar with the prison.  Kerik also ran the Department of Prisons in New York for six years involving about 133,000 inmate admissions a year.  Bernard Kerik told Sean there should be video from the hallway outside of Epstein's prison cell.

Pardon my endless skepticism, but when the surveillance video surfaces, and it shows absolutely nothing abnormal took place around Mr. Epstein's cell, how will any of us know that the video was authentic?  If some group of powerful people wanted Mr. Epstein dead, or (as some say) wanted to assist in his escape or relocation, they would be producing the "surveillance video" in a studio right now.  When the video comes forth, how will you or I know that it does or does not resemble the actual jail cell in question?

None dare call it 'conspiracy'.  [Scroll down]  An unnamed source working as a chaplain in a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital responded to my inquiry concerning monitoring protocols:  "I have seen and know the protocols for suicidal patients and usually they are given meds to keep them calm.  The patient is not simply under observation but is physically watched 24/7 ... not every 10 minutes or 30 minutes, but minute by minute.  I can't even give them a Bible with a hard cover or even a rosary ... there's no way to commit suicide without help from someone else ... this is wrong!"  Conspiracy theories immediately surfaced, including one disseminated by President Trump.  In a tweet, the president, who knew Epstein, but claims they had a falling out some years ago, tried to link Epstein's death to former President Bill Clinton.  That one quickly began trending on Twitter, mostly because so many people associated with the Clintons have died, some under curious circumstances.  Not all conspiracy theories turn out to be wrong.

Source:  Epstein left unchecked for hours, death may not be suicide.  Jeffrey Epstein's death becomes controversial after a source informs that he was left unchecked hours before the apparent suicide.  The New York City prison is held accountable after Jeffrey Epstein, a famous American financier, died inside the prison walls.  The correctional officers, according to a source, did not check on Epstein for hours after transferring his cellmate for unknown reasons.

FBI Agents Raid Jeffrey Epstein's 'Pedophile Island'.  A dozen FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein's 'Pedophile Island', pulling up to his Caribbean getaway in speedboats and roaming the grounds in golf carts, two days after pervert billionaire's suicide.  At least a dozen FBI agents were seen raiding Jeffrey Epstein's US Virgin Island Little St. James on Monday morning [8/12/2019] and afternoon.  Isn't this just a little too late?  The raid comes two days after he was found dead by suicide in his New York jail cell.

7 Unanswered Questions About Epstein's Death That The Mainstream Media Is Not Talking About.  Did Jeffrey Epstein commit suicide or was he murdered?  This is a question that is being debated by millions of Americans right now, and without a doubt this is the biggest story of this news cycle.  Unfortunately, the mainstream media is already dropping the ball.  Instead of going wherever the evidence leads them, there already seems to be a tremendous effort to marginalize any explanations for his death other than "suicide".

5 Theories About the "Death" of Jeffrey Epstein.  Nobody was really surprised when it was reported last weekend that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell of an apparent "suicide." And also, nobody really believed the official story.  I find it heartening to know that the American people no longer swallow the stories without question. [...] There are a lot of powerful people who wouldn't want the world hearing what Epstein had to say about their unsavory sexual predilections.  Topping that list could be a guy with frequent flier miles on the Lolita Express.

Bill Barr: 'We Are Now Learning of Serious Irregularities That Are Deeply Concerning' at Jail Where Epstein Found Dead.  US Attorney General Bill Barr addressed the ongoing investigation into pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein's death at a press conference on Monday morning [8/12/2019].  "We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation," Barr said.  "There will be accountability," Barr asserted.  [Video clip]

Epstein Gets Rubbed Out.  Epstein was suicided after being taken off of suicide watch.  The surveillance camera malfunctioned.  There were no recordings.  The guards weren't watching.  Someone wanted Epstein dead, or at least removed and disappeared.  The photo of the body at the hospital didn't look like Epstein — not exactly. [...] Everyone knows the whole situation reeks of outrageous corruption, but what will be done about it?  Probably nothing.  An FBI investigation?  That's a joke — they may as well send in Inspector Clouseau.  Besides, the FBI, CIA, and/or the Mossad were probably in on it.  There will be no investigation.  More likely, we'll see a cover-up and misdirection.

Is Arkancide Real?  Epstein Dead.  We studiously avoid conspiracy theories on CHQ, but stop and think about it:  Vince Foster, Seth Rich, Lois Lerner's hard drive, Hillary Clinton's email, and now Jeffrey Epstein — when the Left wants something or someone to disappear or be disappeared the desired result occurs with astonishing regularity — especially if it touches on Bill and Hillary Clinton's interests.

The Convenient Death of Jeffrey Epstein.  A detailed look at who Jeffrey Epstein was, his crimes and those alleged to be complicit, and the circumstances surrounding his death.  [Video clip]

The Mysterious, Outrageous Death of Jeffrey Epstein.  Here are a few things I know firsthand about being in jail.  First and foremost, you have virtually no control over your life and surroundings.  You can't get so much as an aspirin without authorization.  In most jails, you can't wear a belt, or shoelaces, or keep a razor in your cell.  You have no privacy, no sense of dignity, and no rights.  And in a well-run jail, high-profile prisoners have virtually no chance of killing themselves.  So the alleged suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old financier with powerful American and foreign friends who was about to stand trial for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of girls, many of them underage, is particularly unfathomable — and outrageous.

Epstein had been off suicide watch for more than a week.  One of these days we might actually learn exactly how convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein wound up dead, but for the moment we're still watching a game of finger-pointing unfold in the media.  In the early hours after learning that he had killed himself, everyone (including yours truly) seemed to be under the assumption that he was on suicide watch.  And yet somehow he managed to take himself out, assuming you don't believe any of the rampant conspiracy theories making the rounds.

Jeffrey Epstein dead:  Timeline of sexual abuse allegations and related legal cases.  [Scroll down]  April 2010 - Flight logs obtained as part of civil lawsuits against Epstein show an assortment of politicians, academics, celebrities, heads of state and world leaders flying on Epstein's jets in the early 2000s.  Among them: former President Bill Clinton, former national security adviser Sandy Berger, former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana and lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

Former Acting AG Whitaker on Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide: 'Something doesn't add up'.  Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said Monday that "something doesn't add up" when it comes to the apparent suicide of Jeffrey Epstein inside a New York City federal prison.  He called for "full transparency" on the events that led up to his death.  Speaking on "Fox & Friends," Whitaker stressed that notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was held at the same facility, but Epstein was reportedly not monitored closely enough to prevent his suicide.

What Happened to Jeffrey Epstein?  New York's Alcatraz skyscraper has hosted some of the most dangerous and infamous criminals in the world, and its security is as painfully tight as its slitted windows.  MCC inmates are bound for one of the federal courts in Civic Center.  Some of them will testify.  Many only reluctantly.  And some of them will be the targets of international gangs, terror groups and crime families who don't want them testifying.  Somebody did not want the inmate in a cell on one of the top floors of the MCC testifying, even though the job of MCC personnel isn't just to lock them up, but to keep them from dying.  Before Jeffrey Epstein, Mafia kingpins, drug lords and terrorists had come and gone.  A helicopter rescue operation had failed.  And then Epstein had somehow managed to impossibly hang himself in his cell.

What's Next For The Epstein Case?  Epstein's death came a day after hundreds of documents were unsealed that detailed sexual abuse allegations against Epstein and several others.  The documents are from a settled defamation case between Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Epstein, and Virginia Giuffre, who said she became Epstein's sex slave and was trafficked at age 17, ABC News reported.  The documents name former Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, former Democratic Maine Sen. George Mitchell, Prince Andrew and others as being involved.  They have all denied the allegations.

More on Jeffrey Epstein's "Suicide".  Jeffrey Epstien's "suicide" sounded suspicious when news first broke, but the news that's come out since only make it sound even more suspicious: [...] Yet, after all that, the New York Times has the gall to state "Mr. Epstein's suicide has also unleashed a torrent of unfounded conspiracy theories online, with people suggesting, without evidence, that Mr. Epstein was killed to keep him from incriminating others." Uh, unfounded save the fact that everyone following the story knows that Epstein hobnobbed with the rich and powerful, had the dirtiest of dirt on them thanks to his under-aged sex ring, and was found dead in a high security jail when it was obvious that he was not only at risk for murder or suicide, but that he had already "attempted suicide" and was was on 24-hour suicide watch until just before he was found dead.  Unfounded.

Epstein Taking the Big Dirt-Nap.  Doesn't "suicide watch" involve somebody... watching?

Jeffrey Epstein wasn't checked on for hours before apparent suicide: report.  Correctional officers at the New York City prison housing Jeffrey Epstein didn't check in on him for hours leading up to his apparent suicide on Saturday after his cellmate was transferred for reasons that were not immediately clear.  Epstein, 66, was found unconscious in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and later pronounced dead — raising questions about how the wealthy financier, imprisoned on sex trafficking charges, could have been able to kill himself while in a high-security facility just over two weeks after being placed on suicide watch.

Was Billionaire Sex Pervert Epstein the Victim of a Deep-State Hit?  The leftist media is, of course, dismissing "conspiracy theories" that suggested Epstein might have been the victim of foul play.  But given his connections to elites and politicians across the globe, and the names that surfaced in 2,000 pages of newly released documents from a related Epstein case, the question must be asked:  Cui bono?  As The New American's Luis Miguel reported last month, Epstein traveled in the highest circles of the Deep State.  He was a member of the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations, and close pals with Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein's jet, called the "Lolita Express," 26 times.

Complete List of Clinton Associates Who Allegedly Died Mysteriously or Committed Suicide Before Testimony, Including Jeffrey Epstein.  On Saturday multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, the highest profile prisoner in US custody, was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan.  This occurred the day after two thousand previously sealed court documents involving the Jeffrey Epstein child sex abuse case were released to the public.  The documents described how Bill Clinton held a private party on Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island.  Clinton made at least 27 times trips on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane.  Most of those flights were with underage girls.  Despite a previous attempt on his life just three weeks ago the prison guards skipped the 30 minute required checks on Epstein's cell last night.

Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein drowns in the Clinton's "dead pool".  The Clinton dead pool just swallowed another victim (or was he a criminal accomplice?) into its gaping maw.  Arrested in early July on charges of sex-trafficking, registered pedophile Jeffrey Epstein conveniently and successfully committed suicide Saturday, allegedly by hanging himself while in prison custody. [...] Coincidentally, Epstein's death came one day after the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed and released 2,000 documents pertaining to Epstein's case.  Included were sworn affidavits from female victims accusing powerful Democrats of having sex with them when they were minors.  With the help of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Jeff Epstein's Death A Most Timely And Convenient Suicide?  Stating the obvious:  Epstein's death comes one day after a court unsealed documents showing one of his accusers claimed that he trafficked her to powerful men for sex — including former Democratic governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson, Britain's Prince Andrew, former Democratic Senator of Maine George Mitchell, "another prince," a "foreign president," and a "well-known prime minister," among others.  Most significantly to note, not one of the men named in the deposition have yet been charged.

So who are the Democrats' 'faves' who might be breathing a sigh of relief at Epstein's demise?  Now that Jeffrey Epstein's dead in the strangest of circumstances - the accused child sex trafficker reportedly said someone tried to murder him three weeks ago, the guy got taken off suicide watch by some psychiatrist who said he wasn't suicidal, the guy turns up dead, the guy's prison security cameras mysteriously malfunctioned, it's not hard to think someone wanted him dead, either by "allowing" him to do himself in, or else by doing the KGB thing in the Manhattan Correctional Center.  The press has thrown flak at Twitter and President Trump who called the case for Arkancide.

Bill Clinton Visited Jeffrey Epstein's 'Pedophile Island': Unsealed Court Documents.  Former president Bill Clinton visited the Caribbean island owned by Jeffrey Epstein known by locals as "pedophile island," according to court documents unsealed on Aug. 9.  The documents included a 2016 deposition of Virginia Giuffre, who has said she was a sex slave of Epstein's and made to have sex with a number of his friends and acquaintances.  Giuffre said that she flew to the island with Epstein when she was 17 and that, while she was there, Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell told her that she had picked Clinton up in a "black helicopter that Jeffrey bought her."

Former Head of NYC Prisons:  If Epstein Was in Solitary Confinement, He Wasn't on Suicide Watch.  Epstein was reportedly put into a cell by himself in the Protective Custody wing of the federal detention facility after an apparent suicide attempt on July 24.  In that wing, being alone in a cell means solitary confinement and "solitary confinement is not a suicide watch," said Bernard Kerik in a phone interview with The Epoch Times.  Kerik knows the prison system well.  He led the New York City Department of Correction between 1998-2000 and the city's police department between 2000-2001.

Report: People Close to Epstein Think Accused Sex Trafficker Was Murdered.  Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex criminal who was recently re-arrested on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy, was found dead on Saturday morning.  Authorities said the case was a suicide, but according to a Washington Post reporter, sources close to Epstein say he was murdered.  "People close to Epstein fear he was murdered... as Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier.  He was described as being in good spirits in recent days," The Washington Post's Carol Leonnig tweeted.

Far-Left Panic Over Epstein's "Suicide" — Shareblue Dispatches Urgent Talking Points For On-Line Activists.  Shareblue is the brain-child of far left activist David Brock; a rabid Clinton advocate.  Recently Shareblue hired Allison "Avi" Girvin as the Über leftist CEO for Shareblue Media.  Girvin was previously the head of NBC News's Business, Tech, and Media unit.  Apparently the death of Jeffrey Epstein, a pedophile and sex trafficker directly connected to the Clinton cabal, has triggered the maximum alert warning for "Avi" and the Shareblue community, as they dispatch urgent talking points for their social media army: [...] The "stalwarts" are those activists paid to go on-line into all social media platforms and defend the interests of the far-left ideology.  It would appear Mr. Epstein's death has activated the need for an urgent crisis response from the political left.

Suicide, you say?  Or, maybe they faked his death to get him out of there.  From what we are seeing and hearing, there are very powerful people involved in this and they will stop at nothing.

Reuters: Prison Guards Skipped Mandatory Checks Before Jeffrey Epstein's Death.  Guards at the New York City jail where millionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein was found dead Saturday did not conduct required checks on prisoners the previous night, according to a report. [...] Epstein hanged himself while in solitary confinement.  Three law enforcement sources confirmed the suicide to ABC News.  NBC reported he was not on suicide watch.

A brief thought on Jeffery Epstein's death.  Was it suicide?  Was it murder?  The only thing certain is that the man did not die of natural causes. [...] Epstein was probably the most valuable human asset ever housed in the Manhattan Correctional Center, given the high-level people he could have implicated in his pedophilia escapades and brought down.  You would think every precaution would have been made to keep him alive.

The Meaning of Jeffrey Epstein.  There's nothing crazy about the Epstein conspiracy theory.  In fact, it's banal.  But the banal truth must be suppressed at all costs.  What would happen if people started asking questions about their ruling class?  People might start to wonder whether they are not ruled by their betters, that the liberal "elites" who occupy our most powerful institutions are not only incompetent but downright evil.  We can't have that, can we?

Clintons Are All Smiles in Illinois Hours After Bill Clinton's Pal Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead.  The Clintons were all smiles in Arlington Heights, Illinois on Saturday just hours after Bill Clinton's friend Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell of an apparent 'suicide.'  Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan early Saturday morning from an apparent suicide.  According to reports, Epstein committed suicide, however, many close to him fear he was murdered.

Jeffrey Epstein's suicide makes no sense.  So why was Epstein placed in "solitary" in the first place?  After his first attempt, were his cell and his supervision changed?  Was he watched constantly by cameras in his cell, or only checked sporadically?  Was he allowed to have objects that he could use to attempt suicide again, after having done so once before?  How could a prisoner hang himself — as Epstein did, according to early reports — and no guard would immediately see it or react?  Why, given his previous attempt and all of the issues surrounding his case, wasn't a supervisory officer watching him constantly and able to respond immediately?  None of this makes any sense, at least at this point.

Was Epstein on Suicide Watch When He Died?  Mr. Epstein had been housed in a cell with Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer facing murder charges.  It was unclear if he was still being held with another inmate as of Saturday morning [8/10/2019].  Both men had been held in a special unit with strict security measures that is used to separate some inmates from the general population and that has held several high-profile terrorists, organized crime figures and drug dealers, including the Mexican kingpin known as El Chapo.  Under Bureau of Prison regulations, the government's jails and prisons must have one or more rooms designed for housing an inmate on suicide watch, and the rooms must allow staff members to control the inmate without comprising their ability to observe and protect him.  Every prison facility is required to have a suicide prevention program.

Twitter Removes #ClintonBodyCount with 84,000 Mentions from Trending List After Epstein Death.  In July Epstein was found injured and in a fetal position inside his cell at a New York City jail.  He was reportedly put under suicide watch.  On Saturday he reportedly hanged himself.  Within an hour #ClintonBodyCount was trending on Twitter.

Add One To Clinton Body Count, Jeffrey Epstein Killed During Suicide Watch.  Another day, another Clinton associate turned up dead.  Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died under mysterious circumstances Saturday morning, just a day after thousands of pages of bombshell documents were unsealed by a federal appeals court revealing names of powerful individuals allegedly involved with Epstein's child-trafficking scheme.  The Clintons had a lot of reasons to want Epstein dead, not the least of which that Bill Clinton flew with Epstein on his infamous "Lolita Express" jet 26 times, and even traveled to his so-called "Pedophile Island" in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Jeffrey Epstein Dead — Suicide Suspected — Questions Remain.  Convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his jail cell in Lower Manhattan.  So far, all reports indicate that he committed suicide by hanging while awaiting disposition of his federal criminal charges.  There will no doubt be a lot of questions asked to which very few answers will likely be given.  The first question on most people's lips will be "was he suicided?" Mr. Epstein was the keeper of secrets to many very powerful people, including, and especially, Bill Clinton.

Camera Malfunctioned — Who believes it?.  You know you love this man's videos.  Help him out — he was de-monetized and is under attack by the left, but we love his work.

Dead Men Tell No Tales.  What a coincidence!  [Video clip]

Did Jeffrey Epstein Actually Commit Suicide, Was He "Suicided" Or Was His Death Faked?  No one that I know of is buying the story that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.  Not one person I've spoken to or messaged.  Conflicting reports, along with the Manhattan Correctional Center gatekeeper answering the phone are making it virtually impossible for anyone to trace whether Epstein's body is anywhere in New York.  This all leads me to question what has happened to Epstein. [...] Considering the people named in documents, and those who stood to lose by this guy talking, my guess is that either they were really good friends and have planned an elaborate escape, confusing people with conflicting media reports until they get their story straight, or several people were involved in "suiciding" Jeffrey Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein Camera Malfunction:  No Proof for Rumor, But Other Questions Remain.  Rumors have been circulating ever since Jeffrey Epstein was found dead that cameras at the prison malfunctioned the night of his death.  However, at this point it's not known if there were any cameras recording Epstein and, if there were, whether they were working or recorded footage.  The person who started the camera malfunction rumor didn't provide sources at the time to verify his tweet.  However, there are plenty of other questions surrounding Epstein's death that have led some officials to call for a deeper investigation.

Barr announces DOJ inspector general investigation into Epstein death.  Attorney General William Barr announced following Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide Saturday morning that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz launched an investigation into the circumstances of the accused child sex trafficker's death in his prison cell.  This move is in addition to the FBI inquiry already underway.

Hansen: Epstein wearing 'paper clothes,' had blanket 'he couldn't use to hang himself'.  Investigative reporter Chris Hansen is raising questions about Jeffrey Epstein's reported suicide today, and claims "heads will roll" at the prison where he was being housed.  "While Epstein may be dead of suicide, heads are going to roll at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility," Hansen said in his casual Twitter video.  "Epstein, because of his earlier suicide attempt, was in a special area of the lockup where he was monitored 24/7.  He was wearing paper clothes with which he could not have hung himself," he said, "and he was given blankets which he could not use to hang himself."

Epstein Dead, Democrats RELIEVED!.  One thing you need to know about Epstein is that he was a major Democrat donor, and... associate.

Ann Coulter:  Jeffrey Epstein 'Probably Didn't Kill Himself At All'.  Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter thinks that billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein didn't commit suicide, but was likely murdered to protect powerful people.  "Man of honor, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself to protect Ghislaine.  In fact, he probably didn't kill himself at all," Coulter tweeted Saturday. [...] In fact, Coulter believed Epstein's death was all but inevitable because she believed he had "state sponsors" facilitating his blackmail operations using underage girls to entrap powerful people.

First batch of new Epstein court docs say Bill Clinton had private party on Pedophile Island.  On Friday, a federal appeals court released what has been described as the "first batch of thousands of pages of sealed records" linked to a defamation suit filed against convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's "madam," Ghislaine Maxwell.  Contained within the nearly 2,000 pages of documents are allegations from Epstein's alleged "sex slave," Virginia Roberts Giuffre, regarding the powerful men whom she'd been forced to have sex with, along with the powerful men whom she'd sometimes seen in Epstein's presence.  Included among the latter set of men is former President Bill Clinton.

Former MCC inmate:  There's 'no way' Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.  There's no way that man could have killed himself.  I've done too much time in those units.  It's an impossibility.  Between the floor and the ceiling is like eight or nine feet.  There's no way for you to connect to anything.  You have sheets, but they're paper level, not strong enough.  He was 200 pounds — it would never happen.  When you're on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket.  They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves.  The clothing they give you is a jump-in uniform.  Everything is a dark brown color.

Jeffrey Epstein told guards weeks before he hanged himself that someone tried to KILL HIM.  Jeffrey Epstein told prison guards and fellow inmates that he believed someone had tried to kill him in the weeks before his death, a source has revealed to DailyMail.com The insider, who had seen the disgraced financier on several occasions during his incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also claims that the normally reserved Epstein seemed to be in good spirits.  'There was no indication that he might try to take his own life,' the source told DailyMail.com

Rudy Giuliani on Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Suicide: 'This Is Very Questionable'.  Rudy Giuliani reacted to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide Saturday morning, asking a series of questions about his death and stating, "Committing suicide on suicide watch doesn't happen." [...] ["]Did they fall asleep?  Did the camera malfunction?  Was there camera surveillance?  Who was he about to implicate?" Giuliani tweeted Saturday [8/10/2019].

Jeffrey Epstein dead:  William Barr 'appalled' over pedophile's apparent suicide, FBI probing.  US Attorney General William Barr said he's "appalled" that Jeffrey Epstein was able to kill himself while in federal custody, as the FBI announced Saturday that it would be probing the convicted pedophile's death.  "Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered," Barr said.  "In addition to the FBI's investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death," Barr added.  The stunning developments come a day after a trove of newly unsealed documents implicated a number of powerful people in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking ring.

Trump official Lynne Patton says Epstein was 'Hillary'd!!' — #VinceFosterPartTwo.  Vince Foster is a former Clinton aide who was found dead of a suicide in 1993. Though several investigations ruled that there was no foul play, there have long been conspiracy theories about Foster's death and his intimate knowledge of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  When running for president in 2016, Donald Trump even called Foster's death "very fishy."  "He knew everything that was going on and then all of a sudden he committed suicide," he told The Washington Post.  The term "Hillary'd" is also often used in conspiracy theories about the Clintons, as multiple associates of Hillary Clinton have had unexpected deaths.

Jeffrey Epstein Dead by Hanging in Jail ... There Should Be Video Recording.  Law enforcement sources tell us, the protocol in the Suicide Watch Unit where Epstein was held is for monitors to record the movements of the inmates.  So, there should be video showing exactly what happened ... unless someone erased over it.  And this is especially puzzling — our law enforcement sources say Epstein's cell was so bright he was complaining he was unable to sleep.  Fact is, whatever happened should have happened in plain sight of the guards.

Epstein dies of Arkancide.  The Daily Beast reported this morning, "The Biggest Bombshells in Newly Unsealed Epstein Documents."  Hours later, he was dead in his jail cell. [...] He was on suicide watch.  I wonder if any of the suicide watchers loses his job.  Likely not.  The public doesn't mind if we dispose of this rat without a trial.  But many rich and powerful people will also escape a trial, including the prosecutors who let him skate in Florida a decade ago.

#ClintonBodyCount trends in light of Epstein jail shocker.  Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide has raised suspicions and sent social media hashtags trending as many questioned how prison personnel failed to prevent his death.  The billionaire financier was found dead Saturday after reportedly hanging himself at a Manhattan jail where the convicted sex offender was supposedly under a suicide watch.  Epstein was hospitalized a few short weeks before for what appeared to be a suicide attempt that failed.  But his death on Saturday while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges, and one day after the release of documents implicating several prominent political names — including Bill Clinton — instantly set off conspiracy theories.

Sasse tells AG that 'heads must roll' over Epstein treatment in federal custody.  Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Saturday wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr that "heads must roll" regarding Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide after his body was found and it was reported that he had been take off suicide watch.  "The Department of Justice failed, and today Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators think they might have just gotten one last sweetheart deal," Sasse, who chairs the the Senate Judiciary oversight subcommittee, wrote in the letter.  "Every single person in the Justice Department — from your Main Justice headquarters staff all the way to the night-shift jailer — knew that this man was a suicide risk, and that his dark secrets couldn't be allowed to die with him," he added.  "Given Epstein's previous attempted suicide, he should have been locked in a padded room under unbroken, 24/7, constant surveillance.

'This smells very fishy': Skepticism ensues after shocking Epstein suicide death.  Many reactions to the Saturday morning [8/10/2019] suicide death of alleged sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein expressed suspicion around the circumstances of his death.  Epstein allegedly hanged himself in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center early Saturday morning, despite previous reports that he was under suicide watch.  He had been indicted on several charges of exploiting underage girls, sex trafficking, and other crimes related to activities that took place between 2002 and 2005 over several different locations, including the billionaire's private island in the Bahamas.  His death follows the unsealing of 2,000 pages of documents on Friday that implicated many other high-profile individuals in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking ring.

Jeffrey Epstein dead, of purported suicide.  A lot of very powerful Democrats are breathing sighs of relief.  Dead men tell no tales, and the man whose tales could sink the reputations of and potentially incarcerate a slew of the most important political figures in the US (and a member of the British Royal Family) will be making no deals with prosecutors implicating bigger fish.  The cynics who insisted that he would never live to bring down so many powerful people have been vindicated. [...] If he had been on suicide watch, as ordinary prudence would require, it is highly unlikely that he could have successfully killed himself.  There should not have been any materials for a self-created hanging in the cell of someone who had previously attempted suicide.  The death comes less than a day after a court unsealed a trove of over 2000 documents implicating even more powerful figures.

Epstein allegedly committed suicide last night.  Updates:  Suicide confirmed.  The obvious questions about this will likely be circulating for a while.  First of all, was this an actual suicide or an "assisted suicide?  The last time he was found unconscious with wounds to his neck, some reports claimed that another prisoner had tried to take him out.  But since they put him on suicide watch after that, it appears the authorities were convinced he'd done it himself.  And what about that suicide watch?  Unless someone at the Manhattan jail mistakenly thought that meant "watching people commit suicide" this shouldn't have been possible.  Surely they removed anything he could have hung himself with.

New Court Documents Reveal Bill Clinton Held Private Party on Epstein's Pedophile Island.  Over two thousand court previously sealed court documents involving the Jeffrey Epstein child sex abuse case were released this week and are now available.  Cernovich.com reported on the highlights earlier today [8/9/2019].  According to one document Bill Clinton held a private party on Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island.

Jeffrey Epstein Is Dead, According to Multiple News Reports.  Jeffrey Epstein, the investor who faced federal charges of molesting teenage girls, has died, according to multiple news reports. [...] Epstein had previously been moved to a suicide-watch unit after being found unconscious in his cell with marks on his neck on July 23, a week after his bail request had been rejected.

The Editor says...
How many people have ever managed to kill themselves in a "suicide-watch unit?"

Update:
Apparently it happens every day (on average) in psychiatric hospitals.

Jeffrey Epstein dead in apparent suicide.  Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died overnight in an apparent suicide, law enforcement sources told the [New York] Post Saturday [8/10/2019].  A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. and headed to New York Downtown Hospital.  A call for a reported cardiac arrest came in at 6:38 a.m., Fire Department sources said.  Two weeks ago, Epstein, 66, was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck.

Jeffrey Epstein dead by suicide, found in Manhattan jail cell.  Disgraced multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls, reportedly died by suicide early Saturday morning inside his Manhattan jail cell.  The 66-year-old Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City weeks after he was arrested of multiple child sex-trafficking charges, sources confirmed to Fox News.  An FDNY source told Fox News that he was transported out of the prison around 6:30 a.m.  New York Downtown and was dead on arrival.

Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex trafficking victim named Bill Richardson, George Mitchell in newly released documents.  A woman who has long claimed disgraced money man Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with powerful men named two prominent Democratic politicians — former Sen. George Mitchell and ex-New Mexico governor and Clinton cabinet official Bill Richardson — in documents unsealed Friday [8/9/2019] by federal prosecutors in New York.  Friday's [8/9/2019] revelations came from more than 2,000 documents that were unsealed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.  The papers included affidavits and depositions of key witnesses in a lawsuit the now-33-year-old woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, filed against Epstein and his associate, Ghislane Maxwell in 2015.  Giuffre accused the duo of keeping her as a "sex slave" in the early 2000s when she was underage.

How does a hanging occur in a suicide watch unit?  Did someone "accidentally" leave 20 feet of rope in his cell?  Pretty soon, various people in the news media will want to know if there are surveillance cameras in this jail.  Be ready for a series of excuses from the police, such as, "Yes, cameras are everywhere, but they all malfunctioned this morning," or, "The video server for those cameras was accidentally wiped, 'like with a cloth.'"

Report: 'Camera Malfunction' in Epstein's Prison Cell Prevented Recording of His Alleged Suicide.  The reported suicide of Democrat-affiliated sex predator Jeffrey Epstein earlier this morning has journalists and other concerned citizens demanding answers.  But they shouldn't expect any to arise soon, if ever, as a report from New Right founder Michael Coudrey indicates that a mysterious camera malfunction has prevented any footage of Epstein's alleged suicide from being captured.

Lead U.S. prosecutor in '08 Epstein case resigns.  A. Marie Villafaña, the lead federal prosecutor who helped negotiate a controversial plea deal for accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has submitted her resignation to the Justice Department, the Miami Herald has learned.  Her departure comes amid a federal probe into the role she and other federal prosecutors, including her former boss, Alexander Acosta, had in sidelining a 53-page indictment against the wealthy New York investor in favor of a state plea to minor prostitution charges in 2008.

It looks like the mysterious NYPD deaths are connected to Clinton via Weiner's laptop.  There were a total of 12 individuals who saw Anthony Weiner's Laptop computer, 9 of those 12 people are dead now.  Mysterious deaths abound in Washington D.C. circle of VIP's.  NYPD is not even immune from persecution.  Of course, the "Powers That Be," never expect anyone to put the pieces of the puzzle together, when they do, those people commit suicide, or have tragic accidents.  Two state senators murdered in their own homes?

Kurt Smolek-Another Hillary Associate Dead.  After missing for two days, State Department Official and Federal Agent Kurt Smolek was found dead, floating in the Potomac River.  Transparency-this is not covered in MSM but that's par for the course when it involves the Clinton body count or Pizzagate. [...] WHIO7 requested autopsy reports that would determine the exact cause of death, but have not heard back yet.  Coincidentally-his body was found exactly where George Webb, a top You Tuber and Pizzagate citizen investigator had been filming just a few days before.  A message perhaps?

Arkancide? Murder of Arkansas Senator Linda Collins-Smith linked to Epstein pedophilia and sex trafficking scandal.  New information is surfacing to suggest that the unsolved murder of Arkansas Senator Linda Collins-Smith may be connected to the public unveiling of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his child sex trafficking ring.  While the details are still forthcoming, CD Media is reporting that a "confidential source that has been accurate consistently" recently came forward with proof tying Collins-Smith's mysterious death to her involvement with blowing the lid off an alleged child sex trafficking ring in Arkansas.  Collins-Smith, a Republican, had also been working to expose "massive corruption in the local and state government" in Arkansas, which suggests that she may have been "Arkancided" for getting a little bit too close to the truth.

Did Molester Epstein Try To Commit Suicide?  Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street financier and convicted molester arrested for more sex crimes against minors on July 6, might have tried to commit suicide, a report from authorities in New York suggests.  Jailers found the bazillionaire sex pervert in his cell with marks on his neck, news reports say.  Epstein, a registered sex offender, is incarcerated in connection with a federal indictment for sex-trafficking minors.

Kurt Smolek-Another Hillary Associate Dead.  After missing for two days, State Department Official and Federal Agent Kurt Smolek was found dead, floating in the Potomac River.  Transparency-this is not covered in MSM but that's par for the course when it involves the Clinton body count or Pizzagate.

Satire:
CDC: People With Dirt On Clintons Have 843% Greater Risk Of Suicide.  According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control released on Thursday, people with inside, compromising knowledge of Bill and Hillary Clinton's financial and political dealings are 843% more likely to commit suicide.  "We've never seen a single risk factor cause a spike of this magnitude," a CDC spokesperson told reporters.  "Interestingly, in spite of their increased suicide risk, people with dirt on the Clintons rarely show any warning signs of suicide, and they never leave a suicide note."

Jeffrey Epstein reportedly found injured in Manhattan jail cell.  Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein was found semi-conscious in a fetal position in his jail cell, according to sources who spoke to the local NBC affiliate in New York.  Epstein, 66, who was being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Facility in New York City to await trial for alleged conspiracy and sex trafficking, bore marks on his neck, leading two sources to speculate that he may have tried to hang himself.  Another source claimed that Epstein's injuries were not serious, and were perhaps a means to secure a transfer.

Epstein found injured in his cell last night.  Arkancide?  The term arkancide refers to the strange homicides and suicides of people that have had some sort of relationship with the Clinton family.  Speculation has been around the internet for decades that these friends (and often, enemies) of Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton, former president and Governor of Arkansas, may have been killed at the direction and will of the Clintons.  Now, I'm not here to say whether there is truth or not in the Clinton body-count, but another news story broke yesterday that was drowned out by the Mueller testimony.  This one had to do with new evidence that Epstein visited the Clintons' White House on multiple occasions.

Federal Judge Who Oversaw Release Of Jeffrey Epstein's Sealed Records Was Found Dead.  Many people didn't even know that federal judge Robert Sweet, federal judge presiding over a key lawsuit relating to wealthy, Clinton-connected financier Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in March.  However, no cause of death was determined at the time. [...] I realize the judge was 96, but seriously, is no one finding the timing of his death suspicious?

The Editor says...
Usually a 96-year-old man dies peacefully with his family at his side.  It's not often that a prestigious federal judge is just found dead.  The people on the Clinton Body Count list are almost always "found dead" somewhere.

Federal judge overseeing key lawsuit relating to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dies.  Robert W. Sweet died at his home in Ketchum, Idaho, while on vacation, The New York Times reported.  He was appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.  Politico reported that Sweet was presiding over the lawsuit that followed what many saw as an unusual plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein.  Alexander Acosta, the current U.S. Secretary of Labor, negotiated what critics called a sweetheart, potentially corrupt plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein when he was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Judge presiding over lawsuit related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dies.  The massive, yet secretive decade-old case surrounding wealthy elitist financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been in the news again in recent months, a fact which no doubt has been of great concern to former President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary due to their close connections to the registered sex offender.  The continuously developing story took an unexpected turn over the weekend when an elderly judge overseeing a related lawsuit against an Epstein associate reportedly died on Sunday.
