Jeffrey Epstein’s Ties to Clinton, and His Questionable Source of Wealth
epoch times ^ | 7/11/2019 | Jeff Carlson

While media focus on Trump, larger questions remain about Epstein’s finances and ties to Bill Clinton

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6 after landing at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey upon his return from a trip to France. Epstein was previously indicted in 2007 on charges he abused underage girls, but reached a controversial plea deal, in which he served only 13 months in a low-security facility that allowed him to work from his office each day.

Epstein now faces federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking that may lead to him spending the rest of his life in prison. DOJ officials have indicated that they expect the charges against Epstein to expand as they delve further into the case. Attorney General William Barr has said he will not recuse himself from the newly opened Epstein case, although he “will remain recused from any retrospective review” of Epstein’s earlier case in Florida.

Questions surrounding Epstein have existed for a long time, including the source of his wealth and his relationship to former President Bill Clinton, who, according to flight logs, flew on Epstein’s personal jet 26 times.

Trump’s Plane Flight to New York City

Much of the mainstream media has chosen to focus on President Donald Trump’s past social ties to Epstein. In 2002, Trump was quoted in an article from New York Magazine, which was one of the first publications to profile Epstein following a well-publicized trip he took to Africa with Clinton:

“Mark Epstein: “We flew up on my brother’s plane from Florida together. Donald was on the plane.”

Q: “When?”

Mark Epstein: “Somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago.”

Q: “Okay. So we are talking about -”

Mark Epstein: “It’s either late ’90’s early 2000. Probably more like late ’90’s.”

Q: “Was that the only time you’ve met Donald Trump?”

Mark Epstein: “Yes.”

As mentioned, the flight took place on Jeffrey Epstein’s smaller plane—not the larger 727 that has been dubbed the “Lolita Express”:

Q: “Was this one of the big planes, the 727?”

Mark Epstein: “No. It wasn’t that one, no.”

Q: “Okay. How many people were on this airplane?”

Mark Epstein: “It was my brother, myself, Donald, the pilot the co-pilot.”

It appears that Trump hitched a ride back to New York on Jeffrey Epstein’s smaller plane following a stay at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. It also appears that this may be the only time that Trump flew on one of Jeffrey Epstein’s planes.

Q: “What was the purpose of Donald Trump riding on your brother’s airplane?”

Mark Epstein: “You’ll have to ask Donald. I think he wanted a ride back to New York.””

I can't help wondering if Epstein wasn't money laundering for the Clinton Foundation Crime Family.

Epstein was a pilot. Did errands for others.at healthy wages.

The last connects Epstein with NXIUM

Remember when JFK said he wanted to take down the CYA?

Well, he DOES have a foundation of his own. Perhaps a little exchange between foundations?

From the article:

“You won’t find Epstein’s transactions written about on Bloomberg or talked about in the trading rooms. ‘The trading desks don’t seem to know him. It’s unusual for animals that big not to leave any footprints in the snow,’ says a high-level investment manager.”

For a man reputed to have been managing at least $15 billion—all for billionaires—it would seem all but impossible that Epstein wouldn’t be known to the Wall Street trading desks. Additionally, Epstein reportedly employed no portfolio managers or analysts, telling people that he handled the entire investment side of the business himself, with all other employees being purely administrative.

Epstein, for reasons unknown, was also reported to be highly selective when it came to his clients.

That's like running a construction company, but not having construction workers.

More likely:

He took that mountain of dirty loot and dumped it into an ETF, or something, using the rest of his time to bringing in new girls, celebrities, and new blackmail victims.

Biiiiig genius Epstein doesn't crunch numbers at all, doesn't research science, etc.

More likely, IMHO, that Epstein wasn’t the one in charge, was running a honey trap for one or more state actors. And money wasn’t the objective. The payoffs were likely favors from the people being blackmailed. Votes, decisions, etc...

I’ve heard of ‘work release’ programs.. but this takes the cake. Human traffickers are eligible? Wow. What a sick society that allows wolves to hunt openly and then have cover provided for them.

Epstein wasn’t a pilot —Ghislain was. Tail numbers are different from SSN’s; they get passed around. It’s weird, I know. It gives TONS of false leads, we ran into the same with the Las Vegas mass shooter.

The more promising angle is the Mega Group.

Agree 100%. The objective was to create a powerful infrastructure to be called on in order to weild strong political influence.

This machine had the power to make a tiny entity have the power of a very, very large one.

If you had your hands on the controls, theoretically a single person could become like a country, maybe like a large country.

You could wage a war by proxy, you could influence major votes, elections...

I see the Epstein story fading since they cannot pin anything on Trump. Trump actually helped the prosecution.

The demopervs are now wanting this story to fade away.

“Despite Trump having been under close investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for nearly two years, no information relating to Epstein was brought up.”

Especially the part about Mueller ordering Acosta hands off Epstein, because he belongs to intelligence.
