Do we buy this?

That gave him the gravitas he wanted to get close to bigger and richer targets.



Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, played a substantial role in supporting the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative, one of President Bill Clinton’s signature post-White House endeavors, new documents released by the Justice Department show.

Maxwell took part in budget discussions related to the first Clinton Global Initiative conference; talked through challenges about it with both Clinton aides and Publicis Groupe, the company that produced the inaugural event; and arranged to wire $1 million to pay Publicis for its work on “the Clinton project,” according to emails in the massive cache of documents collected as part of the government’s investigations of Epstein.

....

Maxwell’s involvement in the launch of the Clinton Global Initiative took place in 2004, before Epstein’s 2006 indictment and 2008 guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution with a minor, and long before Maxwell, a daughter of media baron Robert Maxwell, was sentenced in 2022 to two decades in prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually exploit underage girls.

The source of the money is unclear, including whether Epstein provided the funds. However, the emails show that he was aware of the payment.

There's some obvious skepticism in your question.

And I think we know he’s acted on those flirtations. But I cannot for the life of me picture him raping someone.

If it’s proven that he’s done something wrong, then he can fry with the rest of them. But I just don’t think he’s the type.

I have no trouble believing that Donald Trump raped children. Because he’s nasty and gross and hung up on power.

Therein lies the difference for me.

I’ve said this numerous times on DU and I haven’t changed my mind.

For the record though, some of Epstein's girls were 18+, all the way up to at least 22.

That's not negotiable.

But I don't think he did. I think he's too smart for that.

And as crappy this is going to sound - he wasn't wanting for female attention. There seemed to be plenty of women who admitted to having had a relationship with him. So, I think if he wanted sex, it was probably available to him without him having to force anyone.

Let the questions begin

... that I look forward to your questions.....

LOL

President Clinton exonerated.
