Jeffrey Epstein Had 1,000+ Victims

Industrial scale abuse enterprise far larger than previously believed is revealed in new document

Ken Klippenstein

Twenty years after Jeffrey Epstein was exposed for his child sex abuse enterprise, the Justice Department this week made a startling revelation. Rather than the “dozens” of victims previously alleged by the government and media, Justice now says that there were “over one thousand” victims.

Everyone is talking about Epstein again, from MAGA types furious that the Trump administration is not producing a supposed client list, to the mainstream media, which is giddily mocking just about anyone critical of the Justice Department here as conspiracy theorists.

One person who doesn’t want to talk about it is Donald Trump, who told New York Magazine in 2002 that his buddy Epstein was a “fun” guy who “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Seldom one to shy away from blurting out whatever, when asked this week about the Epstein memo, Trump uncharacteristically changed the subject. He admonished the reporter, telling him that the question was a “desecration” to the lives lost in the Texas flood.

with witnesses.

One of the little girls, Maria, just disappeared.

The other girl got Gloria Alred to take Krasnov to court, but she got so many death threats she backed out.

Someone could talk with Gloria Alred, if she is still alive, about the case.

4. I believe that has already happened, and many victims have come forward

Those victims are adults now, and my guess is that many are angry and unhappy about the way they were abused as young teens. Not all the victims are willing to go on the record, and some have changed their names and made a new life for themselves. So it's understandable.

I believe the turning point was Virginia Giuffre and her ability to get away from Epstein and bring the lawsuit against him and Prince Andrew. The outcome of her lawsuit wasn't so great, but it made other young women realize that they had a voice.

Don't forget that these girls were specifically recruited from poor circumstances. They were from broken homes, some were high-school dropouts, etc. and the promise of money and modeling or acting jobs were enticing to them.

3. Epstein and Chump were "buddies" back in New York but that was finished around 2005 or so

A real estate investment in Florida in the early "aughts" broke up the friendship of Chump and Epstein.

As I learned from one of David Cay Johnston's books, Epstein found a bargain property in Florida that looked like a great investment. Chump already owned Mar-A-Lago and he was looking for more properties, as was Epstein. Anyway Ol' Jeffrey asked his buddy Donald whether he thought it was a good property. Donald looked into it and quickly grabbed it for himself, right out from under his "friend." This is why Chump has no friends, all he does is screw everyone.

Of course, Epstein had a different way of dealing with people. He treated his "friends" to sex parties with young girls, and quietly collected blackmail material on all of them. Whether Bill Clinton was part of this circle remains to be seen, but he says he wasn't. We can be certain that Chump WAS part of the circle, with no regard to whether he was married or single at the time.
