Who can commit any crime they want and get away with it.

Epstein, Dershowitz, Mandelson, Wexner, Zuckerman….

I’m guessing because he’s in the book.

Particularly those in NYC social circles. Not every letter is disgusting, but many are.

And I think you misunderstood the "seriously". It wasn't a question of whether Bill was one of those writing, but that particular poster's clueless response about why Bill was specifically, and solely, mentioned.

My response was not clueless.

I refuse to repost the book.

Find it and Read it yourself.

but the word they transcribed as "Illegible" actually was legible. It is "errors" for anyone who's interested.

I'll take Russian Troll for $2K Alex

… was a boring boilerplate driven, nothing burger. Nothing indicating real friendship.

the least you could do is actually post it. Otherwise, that line looks very much like a smear job.

So often this particular kind of left/right bias is left alone. The both siderisms of too many news outlets prejudices people against the very facts that need to be pointed to. Again, thanks.

I’m not going to post it.

it, taking less time than it took you to type your response to me. Since you deliberately chose innuendo and provocation, your demonstrated intent is all too clear. But do keep trying, we can all use the amusement.

It struck me strange.

That is all.

I’ll let each of you draw your own conclusions after reading it for yourselves.

Proximity is not collusion. But proximity can draw or tempt pre-conclusions.

We have no other facts. Only the page in the book.

Read it and draw your own conclusions

Seriously, answer: why?

Not sure the bothsiderism with BillClinton was necessary, though, when Republicans have taken depravity to an entirely new level.

what the "note for bill clinton" was?

by another DU'er.

Epstein had done some financing work for the Clinton Foundation and had offered his plane for Foundation travel (as the Foundation lacked a plane of its own). Bill Clinton has never, ever denied this fact, and this was long before the worst allegations regarding Epstein were known.

The purpose of this book was for Epstein--a narcissist--to be able to brag about his self-perceived wealth, power and sexual prowess.

In terms of business connections, knowing a former US President is as good as you can get. So getting that President to write a short, two sentence blurb as part of a brag book would have been a no-brainer.

Clinton wrote notes all the time to people he knew to various degrees, or didn't even know at all. I actually have a thank you note that Clinton wrote to my grandfather; in 1992 after Clinton's victory, my grandfather had sent him a desk staff he had made as a gift, and Clinton wrote a handsigned note in response.

So Epstein did some work for the Clinton Foundation and lent his plane to the Foundation. The two were business acquaintances but there's nothing to suggest they were close friends (as it clearly seems Epstein and Trump were).

The note was basically the equivalent of a cameo video.

Unlike Trump's weird and cryptic letter and drawing, Clinton's note was innocuous and generic. The only part that looks any way remotely bad is when Clinton described Epstein as having a "childlike curiosity," a choice of words that in hindsight is rather regretable.

But beyond that, there's nothing to suggest anything unusual about Clinton's inclusion.

“Jeffrey - Happy 50th - It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends.”

That's it. A very brief, single sentence, hand written.

I see nothing weird or creepy there.

It can be found on page 126 here.

‘Childlike curiosity’ sounds a bit sus to my ear. Easily construed as. ‘curious about children’.

is more telling.

of pedorapist epstein, and had a very positive meaning.

Without the Epstein connection, I could see it being used as a positive to anyone who, like most kids, is interested and fascinated by many diverse things.

Having read the NYT article on his connection to Chase Bank, one early point they make is that Epstein was a collector of people. From those referenced later in the article, it seemed that he enjoyed the company of innovative, clever people in addition to many with power, wealth or status.

Reading that article, it is clear Chase intentionally had a blind eye to many red flags that should have been reported earlier because he was able to connect them to people who made a lot of money for them. It also makes it clear that his connections to powerful people was what gave people the excuse to overlook things they should have been suspicious of.

Here, Clinton was, to some degree, a victim of Epstein wanting the prestige of closeness to a former President. Offering his plane for use of the Clinton Foundation, which was unquestionably doing good work was both a genuine contribution to the foundation and a connection that added to the powerful people that others saw around Epstein.

Why a victim? There is absolutely no information that implicates Clinton in anything directly or in knowing there was anything wrong. Yet from internet accusations even though no victim has accused Clinton and the Comer subpoenas, he has been smeared by the association.

Childlike curiosity is a common phrase that has nothing to do with being curious about children. The phrase has been used to describe many famous people including Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Clinton himself. you wouldn't think twice about it being used to describe anyone else and there is zero evidence Clinton had any knowledge of Epstein's activities.

Reading something into it that's not there and, seeing something into it from photos.....

at a minimum, that the most famous sexual abuser of children of all time was described as having a childlike curiosity.

"Childlike curiosity" is actually used to describe people who are curious about the world around them and adventurous. It's not a derogatory phrase and there was no innuendo implied.

a revolving door and everyone going in sees who is coming out. That's why no one rats on anyone. Remember the Franklin cover up and the stories of young boys going in and out of the White house back door back in 1989?

they are creeps. I don't care who they were. And I also think it is important to follow the money trail.

"Laws are like spiderwebs: they catch the weak and poor, but the rich can rip right through them."

That will tell you much and likely point at some very power full men across the globe.

into a vagina....so there is that

Just to be clear.
