The 2018 political thriller, The President Is Missing, co-written by James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, debuted at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list for fiction in both the print/hardcover and e-book categories. Reviewed in the New York Times Book Review section for June 24, 2018, the novel was touted as “ambitious and wildly readable,” a story of “a president who ditches his handlers and goes rogue from the White House, convinced he is the only one who can foil a huge cyberterror plot.”

While the book “unspools smoothly,” it reportedly gets a bit bogged down at the end, with “a few too many unsubtle messages about the current state of our politics.” Nonetheless, the reviewer admires the novel, in its realistic depiction of “the selfless and often nameless people who work in government” who are willing even to lose their lives “because they are compelled to serve their nation,” in its exploration of the thin line between loyalty/duty and resentment/temptation, and in its shining of “a spotlight on the deep commitment of America’s adversaries to tear us apart and weaken our standing in the world.”
Touted as an “Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller,” the book immediately had almost 700 amazon reviews, and now it has nearly 6,500, although it does not top the list when the title is searched at the site. According to amazon, James Patterson “holds the Guinness World Record for the most #1 New York Times bestsellers, and his books have sold more than 375 million copies worldwide.” He had reportedly written 202 books by the time of this publication, and he has contributed to many philanthropic causes, receiving the National Book Foundation’s 2015 Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community.
Were you wondering about this instant bestseller that seemingly appeared out of nowhere to take the reading world by storm? Not mere happenstance, the book resulted from a political deal between pseudo-author James Patterson (who writes 202 books?) and ageing lothario Bill Clinton, in the service of big bucks and Hillary’s 2016 bid for the presidency. The President Is Missing is tribute to the selfless and often nameless people who work in the publishing industry, compelled to serve the interests of the media stars who bring in the profits. [1]
Patterson not only writes novels, but also non-fiction, such as his 2016 book, Filthy Rich, another New York Times bestseller – “the shocking true story of Jeffrey Epstein,” the billionaire socialite, sometime scientist, and registered sex offender. Although Patterson gets author’s credit, he collaborated with investigative reporters Connolly and Tim Malloy, who were responsible for much of the research and writing.
Until recently, Epstein has flown mostly below the radar (and I do mean flown), coming into view from time to time and exposed, partly, by Patterson’s semi-pornographic bio. Filthy Rich details the downfall of Epstein, relatively speaking, who was arrested after a complaint in 2005 and incarcerated in 2008, serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence. With his arrest in New Jersey on July 6, 2019, Epstein is in the spotlight once again.
Jeffrey Epstein – Filthy Rich
Born in Brooklyn, Epstein is a reported billionaire and major donor to the Democratic Party, with residences in Palm Beach, New York City (“reputedly the largest private residence in Manhattan”), New Mexico, Paris, and the island of Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which he owns. Although Epstein worked on Wall Street, eventually founding his own financial management firm, no one has quite been able to explain the source of his purported vast wealth. [2] This funded a lavish lifestyle and allowed him to dole out piles of C-notes to underage girls solicited to give him erotic “massages,” as detailed in graphic fashion by Patterson in Filthy Rich.
Sexual encounters occurred at Epstein’s residences and on his Boeing 727, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” which was outfitted with a bed for “orgies” with his guests and groups of young girls. Flight logs released in 2015-2016 list such luminaries as Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Naomi Campbell, Woody Allen, Alan Dershowitz, and Bill Clinton. The ex-president took 26 trips on the Lolita Express, notably an excursion to Africa in 2002 to tour AIDS projects, and Epstein credits himself as “part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative.” Yet Patterson’s Filthy Rich has little to say about Clinton, summing up the relationship as follows:
“Bill Clinton got the use of a jet out of Epstein – a trip to Africa. But he andEpstein weren’t bosom buddies.” [3]
Although Clinton was an obvious star of the show, and his role should have been investigated, The President Is Missing from Patterson’s 2016 book about Epstein.

Epstein’s pals include heads of state, entrepreneurs, academics and research scientists, celebrities, and numerous beautiful women, notably Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell (né Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch). Robert Maxwell, head of the Mirror Group Newspapers, was alleged to be a Mossad agent by Seymour Hersh in his 1991 book on Israel’s nuclear program, The Samson Option. Maxwell denied the charge and sued Hersh for libel, but he died in November 1991, and the suit died with him. Hersh countersued and eventually received an apology and a settlement.[4]

This has led to the speculation that Ghislaine Maxwell has Mossad connections as well. She was instrumental in procuring young girls for Epstein, in a constant supply for his use, her own use, and for loans to others. According to the testimony of several of the girls involved, they not only serviced Epstein and Maxwell but also their associates, including Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, and other powerful players. The girls were asked to bring back reports on their liaisons, which were sometimes filmed with hidden cameras. [5] These look like high-end blackmail operations, with Epstein and Maxwell skimming sex off the top for their own sick pleasure. [6]
Virginia Roberts, now married and using the name Virginia Giuffre, filed an affidavit in 2015 claiming that Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her in 1999 at age 15 while she had a summer job at Mar-a-Lago. Giuffre says she spent four years as Epstein’s “sex slave” and was also pimped out to Prince Andrew and Dershowitz (although both have strenuously denied the charges). Giuffre claims that she never slept with Bill Clinton but met him twice at Little Saint James, and was sure “Bill must have known about Jeffrey’s girls.” At the very least, Clinton knew what Epstein was up to.

Justice Not Served
Things started to slide in 2005, when the parent of a 14-year-old contacted the Palm Beach Police, saying she believed her stepdaughter had been molested by a wealthy man. The girl had shown up at school with $300 in her purse, and soon she was describing Epstein’s mansion at 358 El Brillo Way and the “massage” she had given him. Palm Beach detectives began to investigate and turned up more girls involved both as participants and solicitors. The girls were interviewed, and a search of the premises netted ”sex toys,” erotic art, and nude photos of underage victims, as well as secret cameras.
Police Chief Michael Reiter and Detectives Joseph Recarey and Michael Dawson began to build a case, culminating in Recarey’s probable-cause affidavit in 2006. This found sufficient cause to charge Epstein with four counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, as well as lewd and lascivious molestation, both second degree felonies. These would have put him behind bars for years if convicted. However, things changed when the case was handed off to Palm Beach state attorney Barry Krischer, who had a different plan for Epstein. Instead of having him arrested, he convened a grand jury.
The fix was clearly in, as the Palm Beach Police were not informed of the time and date of the grand jury meeting, and witnesses including the victims were not notified regarding their testimony. Recarey eventually learned that Krischer’s office had made an offer to Epstein and his attorneys, Guy Fronstin and Alan Dershowitz. Despite all the evidence amassed, the offer was for one count of aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, regarding only a single victim (although 47 were eventually identified), and a sentence of five years probation. This was due to the efforts of Dershowitz, who had proceeded to attack and smear the victims (Filthy Rich).
The many interesting details that followed cannot be recounted here (you can read Filthy Rich), but the outcome was a plea deal in 2007, an NPA (“non-prosecution agreement”). By this time, Epstein’s legal team also included Ken Starr, Roy Black, and Jay Lefkowitz. The NPA allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two state felony charges, for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors for prostitution. He would register as a level 3 sex offender but not be prosecuted for felony offenses involving the sexual abuse of underage girls. The victims were allowed to sue him in civil court, but any potential co-conspirators were immune from prosecution. The deal was negotiated in part by R. Alexander Acosta, then United States Attorney in the Southern District of Florida, who is now Secretary of Labor in the Trump cabinet. It was kept secret from the victims until it had been signed by a judge and put into effect.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to the charges proposed. He received a 30-month sentence, including 18 months of jail time (of which he served 13 months), with six days off per week for “work release” (requiring him to spend only his nights in jail), and 12 months of house arrest (but allowing him to fly to his various residences). In what has been termed “a slap on the wrist,” he did his stint in the Palm Beach County Central Detention Center, not far from his home on El Brillo. Epstein enjoyed a single cell, in his own wing, with his own security guard, and unlimited visitors. According to the sheriff, “He was astonished that he had to go to prison at all.” [8]
The Art of the Book Deal
None of Epstein’s victims was consulted before the NPA was drafted, and this gave rise to a complex series of lawsuits, followed by numbers of settlements. In 2008, victims’ rights attorney Bradley Edwards filed a suit citing the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, stipulating that victims of federal crimes have the right to be heard in court and not be precluded from court proceedings. This has been winding through the courts, and new allegations have appeared, keeping Epstein on view as a person of interest. This caused a problem for some of his associates, including Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
By early 2015, Roger Stone, Ken Silverstein, and others began to ask whether the Epstein affair might drag in Bill Clinton, creating a liability for Hillary in her bid for the presidency in 2016. Enter James Patterson, who was working on Filthy Rich with his investigative reporters. By the end of 2015, detective John Connolly announced that he was ready to turn over his manuscript to Patterson, so that the book could appear before the 2016 election. Why the rush, unless Patterson was working with the Clintons to establish a narrative – a narrative in which The President Is Missing from the Epstein saga? In return, Patterson got a lucrative book deal with co-author Bill Clinton, elevating his literary status considerably (his 202 books notwithstanding). However, this move did not help Hillary achieve her objective.
News of Bill’s 26 trips on the Lolita Express came out in May 2016, and in early November, just days before the election, highly-placed sources within the NYPD reported that both Bill and Hillary had frequented Little Saint James (“Orgy Island”), citing the contents of ’s laptop. Forget James Comey and Hillary’s email server… The evidence from Weiner’s laptop, “enough evidence to put Hillary and her crew away for life,” was likely responsible for Donald Trump’s victory. [9] The details have not been released, although rumors abound on the internet, and photos have appeared allegedly showing tunnels and underground rooms on Little Saint James with disturbing images of children.

Not that Trump gets a pass. Although he is said to have barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago over Ghislaine Maxwell’s solicitation of young girls at his club, he was formerly an associate of the two and even an admirer of Epstein:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” [10]
A woman using the pseudonym Katie Johnson accused Trump and Epstein of raping her in 1994 when she was 13 years old, saying she realized only years later that one of her attackers was Donald Trump, after seeing him on “The Apprentice.” She filed suit in April 2016, but the suit was dismissed due to filing errors (the address given was a foreclosed home that had been vacant since the death of the owner). The suit was filed a second time but dropped on November 4 just before the election; no supporting evidence has appeared, and the claims of Ms. Johnson have been deemed not credible. In a recent interview, attorney Bradley Edwards has said that he does not believe that Trump was involved “in anything untoward whatsoever.”
In 2018, Epstein was again in the news. In April 2018, a fire allegedly broke out on Little Saint James. The lawsuit filed by Bradley Edwards against Epstein was scheduled to go to trial in March 2018 in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, but it was further delayed by an appeal from Epstein’s attorneys. In May 2018, the FBI released nine groups of files on Epstein, many of which were heavily redacted. One of the memos includes the sentence, “Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon.” Some are speculating that the information he provided may explain the extreme leniency of his sentence.
Meanwhile, former Palm Beach detective Joseph Recarey died unexpectedly in May 2018, “after a brief illness,” at age 50. Recarey, mentioned above, was one of the lead investigators in the case against Epstein. “No other information about the cause of death was released.” The case was summarized in a Daily Beast article, and protesters disrupted a Patterson-Clinton book tour event and a Trump rally, voicing concerns over the Epstein connection.
The Downfall of Epstein?
The story has continued to unfold, with Epstein presumably pursuing his sybaritic lifestyle and his friends lying low – although things began to pick up in late 2018. The secret NPA was again brought to attention through a series of articles in the Miami Herald in late November, which pointed the finger at Alexander Acosta. [11] This seems to have been an effort to draw in Donald Trump, through his Secretary of Labor, although Acosta was clearly not the one calling the shots. The forces protecting and directing Epstein and his blackmail operation were surely behind the NPA, although “The Cowardly Secretary of Labor” was blamed by the mainstream media.
In February 2019, a Florida federal judge ruled that the prosecutors who brokered the NPA had broken the law by keeping the negotiations secret, in violation of the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat, called the NPA “despicable,” joining 18 other House Democrats in demanding Acosta’s resignation. “The Trump administration needs to get him the heck out of there – this is the person we have enforcing the country’s child labor laws.”
In a related case, 167 court documents were ordered unsealed by a federal appeals court ruling on July 3, 2019. The court decision cited the public’s right to access information about the case, outweighing the privacy concerns of certain individuals, “including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders,” implying that that such persons were involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking schemes.
With the world waiting for the release of these documents, Epstein was arrested on July 6, apprehended after his private jet touched down at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, arriving from France. The new charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy were brought by the public corruption unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York. According to U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of New York, the NPA is binding only for the Southern District of Florida and not in New York. Epstein pleaded “not guilty” in court on July 8. He is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, pending a bail hearing scheduled for July 15.

Agents reportedly broke open the door of Epstein’s Manhattan mansion with a crowbar and searched the premises, finding “nude photographs of what appeared to be underage girls.” As Attorney Berman said of the victims, “They deserve their day in court.” Considering the many influential players who risk exposure with the new charges, one wonders if justice will finally be served.

Memo to Will:
If you have the patience to wade through George Webb’s meandering thoughts, you can learn some interesting things:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0h3B1F3zE
Ralph…Thanks for those links….what I get from Webb is this goverment is so infested with various levels of criminality and corruption that there is no way short of a total bring-down of the entire system to ever return to some semblance of trust and truth. It’s rotten to the core and beyond.
Quick article that makes things look good for the Trump in the pedophile Epstein case:
From the moment I heard Jeffrey Epstein had been arrested I knew none of us had anything close to the real story. And, by the time this is over, I don’t think we’ll have anything close to the real story either.
That shouldn’t, however, keep us from picking through the bread crumbs and see where they lead us. I wrote previously that I thought this story would lead to Hillary Clinton. The MAGA crowd loved that.
Regardless of whether Hillary winds up being the target is irrelevant. What I wrote the other day I still feel is the most likely situation.
I was cautiously optimistic that Trump would turn the corner on his presidency now that Mueller, impeachment and the rest of it would lift from his shoulders. His foreign policy maneuvers didn’t fill me with much, if any, confirmation of this hope.
But domestically signs were there that he had stabilized the battlefield.
Epstein’s arrest tells me he’s now out for blood.
That was, frankly, my gut instinct talking when I wrote that. It fit the sequence of events and the changes we’ve seen in D.C. over the past four months since Attorney General William Barr shut down the Mueller investigation.
What was done to Trump went far beyond egregious. It went far beyond even lawlessness. It was an operation that spanned multiple governments, showed complete contempt not only for procedure but the people themselves.
It was, in short, a supremely arrogant attempted coup that expected to get away with it all because they always had in the past. It was also amatuerish as hell.
The reason I’ve never believed any of the arguments that Trump is simply a bait and switch pitch man for the Deep State is because that description defies reality.
It doesn’t pass Occam’s Razor. The people Jeffrey Epstein represents hate Trump holding power because they have nothing of substance on him. Sure he’s bribed building contractors or paid off unions to get his buildings finished. Whatever.
No one other than the squeakiest of wheels would get upset over that. Everyone accepts that to do business in a corrupt world like New York you swim with some of it because that’s simply how things are done, like it or not.
But using fourteen-year-old girls as blackmail agents and prostitutes to run guns, drugs, topple governments and steal weapons research is another level of corruption. It’s orders of magnitude worse. And to Trump’s credit it seems like he’s never dabbled in that particular thing.
Because if he had, he would never have become President and the Deep State would have never organized a coup attempt against him.
Occam’s Razor, folks. They don’t have anything of substance on him. At best they’ve got a few pictures of him at an Epstein party and then he’s gone.
Watch a few minutes of this report by George Webb and tell me this doesn’t sound exactly like what we’ve been presented as evidence that Trump is one of Epstein’s perverts.
We know Trump helped a case against Epstein in 2009. We know that Trump threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for hitting on a young girl. What we don’t know is left to our imagination to reinforce our view of Trump one way or the other.
For the past six days it has been wall to wall, “Epstein is a pervert. Trump went to a few parties. Acosta, Trump’s guy, let Epstein off.”
Now Acosta resigns as Secretary of Labor.
But Epstein is most definitely an asset. The breadcrumbs are everywhere for you to find. The last thing Acosta did before resigning was letting it be known that he thought Epstein was connected to intelligence.
“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
And now he resigns because of the 2009 plea deal? Something doesn’t pass the sniff test here. This is the biggest revelation of the entire week.
It’s also easily inferred from simply looking at the magnitude of the crimes committed and the final deal that was signed.
The news comes at us so fast, just like in a good action movie, that sometimes we forget to step back and ask basic plot questions, like “If this guy is that connected why are we hearing about this now at all?”
“Why did the FBI kick in the door of his home?”
“Why is this even news?”
“Who ordered the judge to unseal the records from the previous case?”
Because if this is that big a cover-up – implicating everyone from the CIA, to the State Dept. and Dyncorp to the Israeli Mossad — none of this should be in the news.
No way would these people risk exposing Epstein to this level of scrutiny if they were just trying to run a ‘nuts and sluts’ operation on Trump to impeach him.
And all of those questions, again using Occam’s Razor, lead to one answer. Donald Trump.
I think Trump started this thing and is now going to watch it play out to the end. Acosta was chum, sent out to fall on his sword and keep the story moving quickly to make it look like Trump is in cahoots with Epstein.
This first act is to go all out in attacking Trump. The intense focus on the sex-trafficking, the ‘nuts and sluts’ angle, is your key to understanding the stakes here. This is Alinsky 101, accuse your target of that which you are guilty of and make it personal. Guilt by association to put Trump on the defensive.
But to do that they also have to hand over the Clintons. And this is what I was getting at the other day. Hillary is over-extended here. Trump knows the way to take her and the rest of them down is to get to them through Epstein.
And most importantly, notice how no one in D.C. is out in front of the cameras, clutching their pearls about how horrible it all is. That silence you don’t hear is fear. Chuck Schumer, who was all over the news in December/January when it looked like Mueller was going to get Trump impeached is now nowhere to be found.
Pelosi, as I mentioned the other day, is fighting an internal battle within her party and not joining the #MeToo chorus. The outrage is simmering. And the Swamp can’t contain this by hoping to sweep this under the rug.
Notice how Epstein asked for immunity the other day. But have you heard anything about it since? No.
What did they get from Harvey Weinstein? Remember him?
There comes a point where a line is crossed, morality is truly compromised and people look at themselves and ask, “Is this the world I want to live in? Is this what we’ve been reduced to?”
Act I is the outrage and the attempt to keep the focus on the pervie side of things. Keep people focused on their disgust circuit and, hopefully, off the man behind the curtain.
But, as I said on Fault Lines, we live in a post-Dorothy Oz where the curtain was pulled back and reveals the weird little man with the levers and we realize yes, this is what we’ve been reduced to.
And that’s when the anger starts and Act II begins.

The Corrupt System Will Never Police Itself
Thursday, 11 July 2019 15:38 Brandon Smith
False hope breeds crippling apathy – This is what I have to think to myself when I see the news media fervor over the second arrest of (alleged) billionaire Jefferey Epstein, or similar events which in most cases end up fading into the background and forgotten. The public’s favorite distraction has always been to watch high profile people kicked out of their castles in the clouds, but I would point out that even when the globalists sacrifice one of their own in the public eye it is usually only to satiate the masses and their hunger for justice for a very short time. The system is not designed to root out evil; it is designed to obscure and perpetuate evil.
Epstein is a perfect example of this. He was already prosecuted on pedophilia charges over 12 years ago and received a “sweetheart” plea deal which allowed him to serve a mere 13 month sentence. How many child rapists get that kind of treatment in our court system? And what about the vast array of people (including political leaders) that were close friends and associates with Epstein during his “Lolita Express” days? Are we really to believe they knew nothing about what was going on? That they visited his island and never saw any wrongdoing?
Why didn’t they come forward immediately? Why did they wait until Epstein was already being prosecuted before they publicly admonished him? Is it because they were involved in the same activities? And if so, why have they not been prosecuted as well?
My point is, people should lower their expectations that justice will be served or that the “dominoes will fall” in the Epstein case. Also, keep in mind that James Comey’s daughter, Maureen Comey, will be on the prosecution team in the case, AND , Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, is the same man who brokered Epstein’s immunity deal. Like strands of malignant cancer, these people are wrapped around every facet of government.
But this is not just about Epstein, and as much as I would also like to see the guy hang for his crimes, I have to admit that this latest event is probably nothing more than another piece of theater meant to give the public false hope that the system is changing and that elitist criminals will be treated the same as any other criminal. How often does this ever happen?
How about the Bernie Madoff scandal? Madoff runs a Ponzi scheme that devoured $65 billion in client funds and he is sentenced to 150 years in prison, but JP Morgan, the bank that HELPED Madoff move his stolen money, got nothing more than a fine.

This Rick Wiles podcast goes over a lot of Epstein’s fairy tale background and ultimately conjectures that Epstein is a career Mossad agent whose job was to gather blackmail material on powerful people, and that this is the mechanism which has allowed Israel and the Zionist globalists to perfect their take over of America over the past 20 years .

Go to around 28:00 to get to the Epstein part.
…a very interesting conversation, although prior to Acost’a resignation.
Please do not miss that podcast…there’s info there I have not heard from other sources.
Epstein Prosecution is For Real!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO6QtPBP2sw
Oh, no doubt it’s for real…BUT…will there be true justice? Do you think his singing and walking away with 5 years is fair? I do not. No doubt he knew he was to be arrested…….he even sold the Lolita express.
Of course, we know by now that Acosta did resign.
Posobeic?..to be trusted as an avowed Zionist….? Bargaining for his buddy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTOKadRTR0
We’ll see.
The REAL monster:
Attachment
The Epstein case is a perfect illustration of The Jewish Problem: A Jew’s primary loyalty is always to the tribe and to Israel.
Think about it. Jews Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell provide blackmail material on Americans to the Mossad and CIA by despoiling young girls. This makes Epstein a Jewish hero because he was serving Israel.
And the American Jewish 5th column silently cheers; they admire Epstein and revel vicariously in his sexcapades! Look at all the prominent Jews associated with Epstein who knew what he was doing.
Never mind the girls; they were just shiksa whores.
If it was my grand children or great grand children, I would put a bullet in his head and not blink an eye.
Political Collapse or War?
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/07/12/political-collapse-or-war/
If nothing serious happens to Epstein, we are looking at corruption beyond the imagination. It will be time for some sort of massive reaction. Along with that, if we also go to war with iran, it would seem pretty damn certain Trump was compromised.
Right now, all signs are that Trump is in the clear.
This animal must be put away or hung. I doubt the victims and their parents would expect less. There is no other course.
Yesterday, I actually read on ZH that he’s asking to be allowed to spend his time in his townhouse in NY. What kind of arrogance is behind a request of that nature?
Answer:….the kind of arrogance that KNOWS TOO MUCH!
It’s starting to look more and more like this entire episode may be an attempt to tie Trump to Epstein and bring him down, The logic behind this makes little sense considering Trump’s catering to Israel, Could it be that his recent backing down from hitting Iran has something to do with it? I just don’t know.
The vid in the following article/comment is about three years old and I really do not put much faith in it. Watch at your risk:

Dang man tons of articles !
Thanks will
SO, here’s an interesting very recent release:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-10/bombshell-alex-acosta-reportedly-claimed-jeffrey-epstein-belonged-intelligence
Another ZIONIST operative…seems Jim Stone is right.
I would like to repeat and clarify: Epstein definitely was a deep state gatekeeper, who had the job of keeping top politicians in line.
There’s no other way to see it. If he was running a sex plane to a sex island that was run exclusively for the top of the top of the top tier people, and he filmed them all IN SECRET, that’s exactly what it was. Anyone who stepped out of line would be immediately shown screwing someone far too young, while married or committed elsewhere, while in office, the whole 9 yards, – he got ALL OF THEM on video without them being told. Of course it was a blackmail operation to keep the deep state in line. It gave all the leverage needed to instantly jail those who stepped out of line.
I seriously doubt Bill has done anything of significance with Hillary since Chelsea (she’s probably his), Hillary is far too repulsive and Bill is far too much of a player. Lolita express 27 times, plus Monica and probably 30 others . . . . . THAT BOY is going to toe the line come hell or high water. Obama could likely be exposed simply by telling the truth about Michael, who looks more and more feminine as time goes on and the hormones work better . . . . you know – that Ellen incident and many many more . . . . I’d be genuinely surprised if that story was off. One way or another, they have them ALL nailed except Trump.
There are lots of stories now floating around about Trump being Epstein’s top client, but there’s a problem, NO TAPE. Trump figured out what Epstein was in the 90’s and banned Epstein ever since. It is one thing to get on the Lolita express ONE TIME without knowing what it is, and then walking away in disgust, and then banning Epstein from all your resorts. They were not pals after that. Trump had influence, and Epstein tried to nail everyone who was at Trump’s level.
The bottom line is that Trump has never had a thing for underage girls. And to top that off, he had options. Why go there?
The only thing Epstein has in his favor with all of this is that he did not kill the girls when he was done with them. That’s a fair shade better than Hillary with her upscale facial masks.
IF the American public stands for this crap, we are truly a lost and irretrievable society.
A society that cannot protect it’s OWN CHILDREN has ZERO value on this earth.
I should have left this place many years ago.
Another article from ZH that expresses how many of us must feel:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-10/major-red-flags-are-causing-many-doubt-whether-justice-will-be-done-epstein-sex
It won’t just be Jeffrey Epstein that will be on trial in the months ahead. As this scandal unfolds, the entire U.S. legal system will be on trial, and if justice does not prevail many Americans will lose faith in the system for good.
Speaking of Hillary. A certain Bill Clinton campaign person has reported that he avoided sitting anywhere near Hillary on the 1992 Campaign bus. Evidently she has the most putrid body odor he had ever smelled. It was a combination of rotten garbage and dirty diapers. I’ve asked other people about this….they all concurred.
That is one great summary of what’s going on.
The gap between what is justice for the average schmo and a billionaire or one of the elites is ‘cosmologically’ huge…..and disgusting.
Epstein should hang…along with his ‘accomplices’.
