Althouse: "Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005...."

July 7, 2019

"Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005...."

"Saturday's arrest by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force comes about 12 years after the 66-year-old financier essentially got a slap on the wrist for allegedly molesting dozens of underage girls in Florida.... 'It’s been a long time coming—it’s been too long coming,' said attorney David Boies, who represents Epstein accusers Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Sarah Ransome.... 'We hope that prosecutors will not stop with Mr. Epstein because there were many other people who participated with him and made the sex trafficking possible'.... Over the years, Epstein billed himself as a renowned philanthropist and pledged $30 million for Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He’s palled around with a host of famous faces including Donald Trump and Bill Clinton; the latter traveled with Epstein to Africa to address issues like economic development and AIDS. In a 2002 profile in New York, one fellow Wall Streeter described Epstein as a 'mysterious, Gatsbyesque figure' who 'likes people to think that he is very rich' and 'cultivates this air of aloofness.' Another prominent investor added: 'He once told me he had 300 people working for him, and I’ve also heard that he manages Rockefeller money. But one never knows. It’s like looking at the Wizard of Oz—there may be less there than meets the eye.'"

From "Jeffrey Epstein Arrested for Sex Trafficking of Minors/Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on Saturday and will appear in New York court on Monday to be charged with sex trafficking, according to multiple law enforcement sources" (Daily Beast).

Birkel said...: No, Earnest Prole, let's just imagine one NJ Senator and one former president who definitely spent time on Epstein's "Lolita Express" on the way to his private underage prostitution island.

Fusion GPS tried to tie Trump to Clinton's pedophile pal Epstein as part of smear campaign

From the Washington Times; 7/7/19, 8:24 PM
Seeing Red said...: The Trump-Epstein link appears purely social, far short of Mr. Clinton’s 20-plus plane rides on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet around the globe in the early 2000s.; 7/7/19, 8:32 PM
Chuck said...: I’d just like a President — not Bill Clinton, not Donald Trump, nor any of their spouses, ex-spouses, friends, mistresses, etc. — who had no connection whatsoever with Jeffrey Epstein.

This “But... Bill Clinton...!” crap doesn’t work with me I never once voted for a Clinton in my life.; 7/7/19, 8:57 PM
Birkel said...: Smear Merchant Chuck, self-admitted racist drunkard and all-around fopdoodle:

It's not comparing Clinton to Trump. It's the fact Clinton flew on the Lolita Express to Epstein's private island more than 20 times. That's where Epstein kept a stable of underage girls.

Trump owned a gold course that Epstein joined. Trump has a home close to one of the homes Epstein owns.

It's a qualitative difference. Your attempt to smear Trump by claiming some sort of equivalence is noted. Your Smear Merchant reputation precedes you.; 7/7/19, 9:11 PM
Drago said...: I would classify LLR-leftist Chuck's last post as:

1) 97% smear (admitted smear merchant)
2) 3% "drive wedge between Althouse and her readers"

Its clear that many on the left fear what is coming so the lefty/LLR-lefty bat signal was illuminated and our LLR-lefty Chuck, as always, dutifully answers the siren call of the Smear Merchant Left, of whichhe is a part.

There is, once again, as always, zero evidence for LLR-lefty Chuck's and Inga's bizarre fact free cultist accusations.

And thats why hoax dossier crew FusionGPS is behind this latest lefty/LLR-lefty smear...because they always are.

Btw, there is zero evidence LLR Chuck did NOT vote for Bill Clinton.

Twice.; 7/7/19, 9:25 PM
Gospace said...: BTW, if you're having any trouble believing stories about Epstein, scroll through a few pages of crazydaysandnights.net documenting (for different definitions of documenting) things going on mostly amongst Hollywood types, though models, business people and politicians are frequent discussion subjects.

It's where I discovered that"yachting" has a meaning other than sailing on a yacht. And Epstein is featured today.; 7/7/19, 9:27 PM

So, not GWB either. Carter maybe? I think the others are all dead.; 7/7/19, 9:51 PM
readering said...: I would classify Drago's last post under the category of Chuck Obsession. A category overflowing with comments. Tireless.; 7/7/19, 10:12 PM

Read the comments, it's a Rorschach test.; 7/7/19, 10:29 PM
tim in vermont said...: It’s not so much “but Bill Clinton” as the completely different way that the press treats the two. But it doesn’t bother LLR Chuck that the press operates as the enemy of Republicans and advocate for Democrats. LLR thinks that it would be different if it weren’t Trump. Sure it would be different, but it would be the same. Democrats get edited out of stories and Republicans get roped in. What did McCain do wrong in the Keating Five?

McCain said, "One of our jobs as elected officials is to help constituents in a proper fashion. ACC [American Continental Corporation] is a big employer and important to the local economy. I wouldn't want any special favors for them.... I don't want any part of our conversation to be improper.”

That makes a Republican a criminal. Nothing makes a Democrat a criminal. But Chuck is OK with the one sided press.; 7/7/19, 10:42 PM
Drago said...: readering: "I would classify Drago's last post under the category of Chuck Obsession."

It is very very important to lefty readering that no one offer any criticism of LLR-lefty Chuck and also that no one actually document the extraordinary hackery of said LLR-lefty.

The reason is all too obvious.; 7/7/19, 11:20 PM
readering said...: Chuck got several comments but you seem singularly obsessed.?; 7/7/19, 11:26 PM
Qwinn said...: Drago *is* clearly obsessed with Chuck, but I don't mind, and I'll even pitch in when Chuck is being particularly disingenuous. Drago could obsess twice as much and it still wouldn't be as tiresome as Chuck's unrelenting moby routine.; 7/8/19, 12:08 AM
Drago said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 7/8/19, 12:36 AM
Drago said...: Qwinn: "Drago *is* clearly obsessed with Chuck,..."

Hardly.

But it is important to hold Chuck and all leftists to precisely their own "standards", even though its clear the left/LLR-left dont actually believe a single thing that they lecture others about.; 7/8/19, 12:40 AM
Earnest Prole said...: No, Earnest Prole, let's just imagine one NJ Senator and one former president who definitely spent time on Epstein's "Lolita Express" on the way to his private underage prostitution island.

I don't believe Trump would consider that a threat to his Presidency.; 7/8/19, 1:43 AM
Qwinn said...: Are you kidding? If tomorrow morning Trump angrily denies sleeping with 10 year old girls , Inga, Chuck and the entire collective Left will claim his anger proves he's guilty and his denial proves he's Obstructing Justice.; 7/8/19, 2:32 AM
rhhardin said...: I just watched a Roman Polanski film last night. That and Weinstein Co. introductions let you know it's not some PC piece of trash film like you get today.; 7/8/19, 5:16 AM
