Bill Gates says he met with Epstein because he knew 'a lot of rich people'

Bill Gates in an interview published Tuesday defended his association with registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, describing his relationship with the disgraced financier as business-oriented.

Gates told The Wall Street Journal that he met with Epstein solely for his connections to other businessmen, adding that he did not attend the rumored parties at which Epstein was accused of preying on young girls.

"I met him. I didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn’t go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that," Gates told the Journal. "There were people around him who were saying, 'hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.' "

"Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men. I was never at any parties or anything like that. He never donated any money to anything that I know about," Gates continued.

Epstein had plenty of money and lived lavishly......but didn’t have any visible means of support.

If we are to believe Gates, he hung around Epstein to find donors for his philanthropy.

Could be Gates gave Epstein grants......to keep his operation going.....to attract rich donors?

I was wondering why Gates decided to come out with this comment at this time.

This issue is fading from the public consciousness. It seemed odd he would bring attention to it.

Am expecting more than one “board member” has a suspicious past.
Birds of a feather etc etc etc.

Why did Gates associate with Epstein with the MIT grant? That was after Epstein had his first conviction.

I'm not at all convinced that Bill Gates would have the first clue what to do with a naked female...of *any* age.

I stopped trusting any denizens of the Swamp circa Ruby Ridge and Waco.

How many of the supposedly staunch conservatives in Congress told us about the Shush Fund?

I distrust and verify.
