It seems they are trying to distance Epstein from Bill Clinton. Bill flew to the island a dozen times, Epstein's girlfriend came to Chelsea's wedding... Ah! but Bill didn't show for a dinner once so he wasn't really connected with Epstein that much? If the reporter just left that part out completely it might have worked, but they are trying a little too hard. I bet there is a deeper connection there.
The case, overall is just so strange. The plea deal he got before, his attempted suicide in his cell after(!) filing an appeal to post bail.
Also, he went from stealing checks in the mail https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6962478/parties/united-states-v-epstein/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6962478/parties/united-... to owning private islands, 7500 acre range in New Mexico, apartment in Paris, a Boeing 727, getting a multi-million dollar mansions for $1 as a "gift". It's just unbelievable stuff.
- microdrum 7y agoClinton also went on Epstein's private jet 27 times. He is by far the most connected to him. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/nyregion/bill-clinton-jeffrey-epstein.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/nyregion/bill-clinton-jef... It's weird how many articles say that Epstein was connected to "Clinton and Trump." No: he'd met Trump. He was connected to Clinton.
- rdtsc 7y ago> Clinton also went on Epstein's private jet 27 times Wonder how many of those flights were to the infamous island... I thought it was interesting to see if the reporter is somehow connected to the Clintons. It seems she was at least viewed as being favorable towards them: (from https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/33810 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/33810) > - Reuters (Sarah McBride) is writing what should be a positive story on our campaign's efforts to attract the backing of young tech entrepreneurs. I guess the lesson for Brin, and others, is to "cultivate" a better relationship with the journalists so they can insert lines like these in their articles "there was this one time when Brin saw Epstein, but Sergey quickly crossed the street and didn't even say hello".
- JKCalhoun 7y agoNot sure where you make that distinction. I've seen plenty of articles suggesting Trump is "connected" to Epstein. I mean Trump was accused in court of raping a 13 year old on Epstein's property. I'd say that is more than he merely "met" Epstein…
