“Jeffrey Epstein hobnobbed with high-profile guests from the worlds of politics, banking, Hollywood and philanthropy at a Hamptons party just two months after his release by the state of Florida for soliciting a minor.

Photos from a 2010 dinner party at the home of David and Julia Koch obtained by DailyMail.com show Epstein as he chats with guests after a screening of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

Guests included Wilbur Ross, Rudy Giuliani, and Steve Mnunchin.

Bad Reporting Took Down Alex Acosta

Trying to inoculate journalists against hindsight bias is like trying to teach your cat algebra—it’s an uphill slog. Happily, the Washington Post last Sunday gave us a history of the decade-old Jeffrey Epstein sex-crimes prosecution that didn’t rely on the anachronistic innuendo that filled a Miami Herald series entitled “Perversion of Justice.” The furor caused by that series led last week to the resignation of Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who had the misfortune of being the U.S. attorney whose office prosecuted the long-ago case.

The Post investigation, with a non-tabloidal realism the Herald couldn’t muster, found “not a crisp portrait of white hats tilting against black hats, but rather a mottled mural of prosecutors who were eager to stop Epstein from preying on girls, but also sensitive to the young women’s desire not to have their names made public.” It adds that Mr. Epstein’s high-priced defense team “took advantage of the fact that many victims felt a bond with their accused abuser.”

To put it more bluntly than even the Post wants to, prosecutors seem to have feared losing in court because their witnesses were unreliable. If so, this echoes the apparent experience of a state prosecutor in Palm Beach County in the same matter, who ended up going before a grand jury with a single witness, who wasn’t even underage. It also echoes a declaration, in the Herald’s own words, by the Manhattan district attorney in a subsequent matter that the “underage victims failed to cooperate” in the Florida prosecution.

Oh please. That article was written by Trump apologist Holman Jenkins Jr. of the Wall Street Journal. This is what New York Magazine wrote about Jenkins:

President Trump’s defenders have constructed elaborate defenses for his multitudinous violations of laws and political norms. Holman Jenkins Jr., the longtime Wall Street Journal editorial writer and columnist, has crafted a comprehensive rationale for defending Trump that renders every case-by-case rationale superfluous. Jenkins argues that the only ethics in politics and governing is triumphing over your partisan enemies.

Jenkins and his Journal editorial page colleagues have mounted a characteristically unyielding defense of Trump on the Russia scandal. The FBI is biased, Trump has done nothing wrong on Russia, and so on. But what makes Jenkins’s argument so extraordinary is that it does not rely on this, or any particular set of facts, being true.

How do we know Holman Jenkins Jr. is not a fellow traveler? It seems to me that those vigorously defending child rapists are probably child rapists themselves.

Acosta should have resigned. No worries, it’s all good. Trump isnt doing anything worthwhile and his cabinet is full of garbage. So long Acosta, you suck.

He very probably either is or wants to cover for someone he knows is. I don’t understand this. If I found out that someone I loved had been raping children, I’d want them punished as fully as the law allows.

The Daily Beast has uncovered evidence of Bill Clinton's connection to Epstein that began early in his presidency.

Days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges in New York, Bill Clinton distanced himself from the high-flying financier and convicted sex offender. The former president owned up to just six encounters with Epstein, starting in 2002: Four flights on the billionaire’s private jet, a single trip to his Harlem office, and one “brief visit” to his New York apartment, all with staff and security detail in tow.

Now, a Daily Beast investigation has uncovered ties between Epstein and the Clinton administration that date back to the president’s earliest days in the White House, casting doubt on the oft-circulated narrative that the two only began associating after Clinton left office.

As early as 1993, records show, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association and attended a donors’ reception hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Around the same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential aide Mark Middleton several times at The White House. Two years later, businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote a personal letter to Clinton thanking him for their talk about the financier.

“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, told The Daily Beast. “Any suggestion to the contrary, is both factually inaccurate and irresponsible.”

Representatives for Epstein, de Rothschild and Middleton did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

^^ Sounds like a nothing burger, to me. Epstein seems like a creepy striver who was trying desperately to get into Clinton's orbit.

Epstein will likely not make it to trial. As per tonight's news, he will either be murdered or commit suicide.

[Anonymous]

Already on Twitter

Clinton had Epstein assaulted
Trump had Epstein assaulted
Putin had Epstein assaulted
Mossad had Epstein assaulted
Saudi had Epstein assaulted.

[Anonymous]

I am surprised a foreign government hasn't had him killed yet. He likely has dirt on more than just the royals.

Agree he isn't going to make it. And it won't be suicide. He loves himself too much and has spent decades smugly above the law knowing he wielded powerful friends he could count on to dig him out. He had blackmail material. Now those powerful people in his little black book who have too much to lose. They are going to silence him.

I'd be willing to bet his billions came from being the world's most elite human trafficker of underage girls. Those powerful friends were most likely his best clients. The pigs need to be unmasked...all of the from every country and every political party.

Dark seedy underworld.

Listen: we all know that Clinton was a predator. That period in US history was not a good one for women. The fact that Epstein palled around with Clinton is consistent with his guilt. And guilt of others that hung around Epstein. They all knew the girls at his parties were underage.

Thank you for linking.

I hope he starts spilling the beans; I think either way this guy is finished and on some level he gets that (although I don’t necessarily think it was suicide; any of the other options presented seem just as likely).
