Epstein, Epstein, Epstein . . . but don't give up

[KaraBulut]

It is all just theatre. Massie can move whatever he likes. He knows his fellow members won't vote for it when next they return and Johnson is likely to delay even that possibility. Articles of impeachment? In what world does he think that Congress would impeach Turmp's handmaiden in crime? Seriously.

I can't believe that everyone didn't know exactly what would happen and are just acting out a scripted poli-porno playbook in order to run out the clock.

The fact is that some of the richest and most powerful men in the world will get away with everything because they always get away with everything.

I did mispeak- the Massie interview said "contempt of Congress", not censure.

And it's lilly-livered Democrats that are poo-poo'ing the discussion about impeachment of Bondi. Republicans went after Holder and Garland for far less.

This is one that one issue where Republicans are going to buck the White House. That 427-1 vote surprised even the most cynical of Congress-watchers. Massie had been claiming numbers like 10-30 Republicans would vote for the Epstein discharge petition. The Republicans have finally figured out something that people have been telling them for a while: Trump can't primary the entire Republican caucus, so the more Republicans who say, "No", the better off the entire caucus will be.

We're going to reach the point where someone is going to have to be the fall guy for this debacle. Bondi is very unpopular with MAGA - she's polling minus 41 favorable/unfavorable. They were already pissed at her over the fake "release" of the Epstein files earlier this year and all these new cover-up stories are just putting a bullseye on her back.

Yes... follow the money.

Except DOJ has not released anything to explain where Epstein's money came from and where it went to.

Epstein wasn't born with $500 million, an airplane and an island. That money came from somewhere.

The Justice Department’s long-awaited release Friday of documents related to the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein was perhaps most notable for what it lacked.

Financial records, internal memos from prosecutors who investigated Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring, key material obtained from the searches of Epstein’s palatial homes — none of it figured prominently in the documents released Friday.

Interested in records that would help explain how Epstein grew so wealthy? None to be found.

Well someone apparently did actually blink if this is so. Although I am surprised that the DoJ would cower under the threat of contempt.

I know Khanna is looking at the money.

And someone out there knows about the money, because of some of the hints dropped.

And it is also one of the reasons why some very rich and influential people don't want the files released....they may not have been fucking 14 year old girls, but they were laundering money through Epstein.

Apparently, Blondi's DOJ staff don't know that there's two methods to redact documents. One is reversible, the other is not reversible.

Some of the documents that were redacted were done in a way that the redaction can be removed. Those unredacted documents are being recirculated.

Here's an article from the Miami Herald that includes a byline by Julie K Brown, the dogged reporter who kept Epstein's crimes on the radar after the Federal DOJ had dropped the matter and allowed the co-conspirators to get off scott free.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article313920022.html

The more than 10,000 files revealed for the first time that the Justice Department was investigating other potential suspects involved in Epstein’s crimes. The co-conspirators were not named in documents thus far reviewed by The Miami Herald. The files include tips that the FBI and Justice Department received about possible wrongdoing by President Donald Trump, although thus far, it’s not clear whether any of the tips were investigated or found to be unsubstantiated.

He should know that there is a time to remain silent.

Les Wexner – the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, one ofEpstein's biggest financial benefactors – was mentioned in emails by federal officials as an alleged co-conspirator of Epstein.

Gee. What a surprise.

How does he still have his law license?

 

[rareboy]

Slutnick...for more outright lies about a scam that is going to enrich him and his family members invested in developing these centres.

What he may be miscalculating is that a lot of communities are beyond furious at these developments and know that they are draining
water and power...not contributing to it.

 

[rareboy]

How does he still have his law license?

Yes...I beleive he does.

But I think he has effectively killed his career and reputation by going full Trumplicker back in Term 1.

If not since 2010 as he took on more and more garbage cases for horriblewant absolutely nothing to do with himm nowclients.

I was an admirer of his writing back in the earlier days before the corruption and sleaze starting oozing from him.

And when he started arguing for lowering the age of consent while the whispers about his Lolita predelictions and Epstein associations starting surfacing...that was it for me.

No wonder his neighbours want nothing to do with him now and some of the vendors at the local market refuse to sell to him.

It used to be that he was a respected Harvard law professor willing to take on controversial civil liberties and free speech cases.

But looking at his recent client list - Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, OJ Simpson, Julian Assange and Donald Trump- it looks more like he lacks a moral compass and will take any celebrity client who asks and who pays.

I'm looking at his yellow teeth and thinking that he is just rotting from the inside out. And I have no doubts that the Epstein victims are going to name him as being involved in the cover-up, if not the molestations.

 

[rareboy]

So this is the government level of discourse these days. BTW. Others are saying it is def not a fake. But always bear in mind that if fake stuff is being issued by DoJ, it is to create such a level of confusion that no one can beleive anything any more...classic KGB tactic.

^That exchange is on Twitter. Lay down with dogs...



One of the other name in the co-conspirator list is another Trump associate who hanged himself in prison after being arrested for sex-trafficking.

No, not that one... it's the other one. Jean-Luc Brunel.

Jean-Luc Brunel: Epstein associate found dead in Paris prison cell

Model agent Jean-Luc Brunel was being investigated for rape and supplying girls to Jeffrey Epstein.

Jean-Luc Brunel - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Police investigation and death

Following Epstein's death in August 2019, Brunel went into hiding; shortly thereafter, the French National Police launched an investigation into him. In September 2019, his Paris home and offices were searched by investigators as part of a probe into sex trafficking by Epstein.

On 16 December 2020, Brunel was intercepted by police at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, as he was about to board a flight to Dakar, Senegal. He was held in custody in La Santé prison for questioning in relation to rape, sexual assault, criminal conspiracy, and human trafficking, with all of the allegations involving minors.

On 29 June 2021, Brunel was charged with drugging and raping a 17-year-old girl in the 1990s. Brunel said he was innocent. On 19 February 2022, Brunel was found dead in his jail cell, after hanging himself. He had attempted suicide several times before his death.

Brunel was another "best friend" of Epstein, along with Paolo Zampolli, the modeling scout who introduced Trump to Melania.

Brunel also had links with Steven Mnuchin, the Secretary of Treasury during the first Trump Reich.

Here is Brunel with Brett Ratner, the film director who directed Melania's $40 million Jeff Bezos produced documentary. Ratner doesn't work much anymore because multiple women have acused Ratner of sexual harassment.

It only figures that Rattner, who more or less disappeared after 2016 would be given the task that likely no other 'director/producer' would touch.

I doubt if splashing the $40 million dollar price tag will make viewers flock to the theatres for an end of January release. (January...the month where garbage movies go to die)(if they just don't go direct to cable or digital). We know she probably banked most of the bribe money Bezos forked out for this empty ego project. It won't be on the screen except in the schmatta she is parading around in.

Preliminary comments about the trailer and from viewers is that it is boring and scripted and fake. You know, just like she is.
