Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." ...

I bet Epstein read the 2016 book "Filthy Rich" because it was about himself. And in that book, he would have learned that he was reputed to have "no moral compass".

Then there was a hit piece published on Trump right before the last election, Nov. 2 2024:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/listen-to-the-jeffrey-epstein-tapes-i-was-donald-trumps-closest-friend/

In that, the author quotes Epstein as saying the same thing about Trump:

Epstein on the tapes offers a damning judgment of Trump, telling Wolff, “The moral compass just does not exist.”

I'd bet that that particular insult came to Epstein's mind because he read it in "Filthy Rich".

https://www.thedailybeast.com/everything-trump-has-said-about-why-he-broke-up-with-epstein/

Roger Stone, a former adviser to Trump, gave a chilling account of what Trump claimed to have witnessed at Epstein’s Palm Beach estate.

In Stone’s 2016 book, The Clintons’ War on Women, he wrote that Trump noted to a Mar-a-Lago member after a visit to Epstein’s home that a crowd of girls in the financier’s pool appeared to be underage.

“The swimming pool was filled with beautiful young girls,” Trump said, according to Stone. The book said Trump then jokingly added: “‘How nice,’ I thought, ‘he let the neighborhood kids use his pool.’”

Stone reportedly said in a later appearance on Lindell TV that Trump left Epstein’s place after just 15 minutes because he was “uncomfortable with the mix of younger women and the limited number of men.” It’s unclear when Trump’s supposed visit to Epstein’s home took place.

Stone’s book said Trump was invited to Epstein’s infamous private island, but always declined.

Sounds like Epstein was trying to get blackmail material on Trump, but Trump sidestepped that as far as we know.

Trump added in response to another question that day: “Jeffrey Epstein was not somebody that I respected. I threw him out. In fact, I think the great James Patterson, who is a member of Mar-a-Lago, made a statement yesterday that, many years ago, I threw him out.”

Ah! The author of "Filthy Rich", James Patterson, seems to be a friend of Trump.

Isabel built on her father’s political connections. “My father was most influential in my life. He was a very accomplished man and achieved many of his goals during his life. I learned very much from him and have made many of his ways my own,” she said. This included developing intimate ties to a myriad of Israeli leaders, including Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest associates.

Ah, Ghislaine's sister Isabel is friends with Barak, who was literally above Mossad as Defense Minister and then Prime Minister of Israel.

Alex Djerassi, Ghislaine's nephew, is also in US politics:

https://www.mintpressnews.com/maxwell-family-epstein-mossad-cia/290379/

Although she failed in her bid for the White House, President Obama named Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, and one of her first actions was to appoint Djerassi to her team. He quickly rose in the ranks, becoming Chief of Staff at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. In this role, he specialized in developing the United States’ policy towards Israel and Iran, although he also worked on the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and accompanied Clinton on visits to Israel and the Arab world. ...

Djerassi was later appointed an associate at the U.S.-government-funded think tank, the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. While there, he again specialized in Middle East policy, his bio noting that he “worked on matters relating to democratization and civil society in the Arab world, the Arab uprisings, and Israeli-Palestinian peace.” Today, he works in Silicon Valley.

An another of Ghislaine's nephews was in the White House:

While Djerassi’s fortunes were tied to the Clinton faction of the Democratic Party, his cousin Xavier Malina (Christine Maxwell’s eldest son) backed the right horse, working on the Obama-Biden 2008 presidential run.

He was rewarded for his good work with a position in the White House itself, where he became a Staff Assistant at the Executive Office of the President. Like his cousin, once his time in office was over, Malina also secured a position at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace before pursuing a career in the tech world, working for many years at Google in the Bay Area. He currently works for Disney.

Given that the Jizzlaine heritage is entirely spook-plex at the highest level, going both back and forwards in the genealogy, do you really think the PTB would allow the original Jizzlaine to spend a single day in prison? Jizzlaine shit we were fed is another movie.

Finally, the mystery is solved!

Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." ...

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

(What Hoffenberg had failed to realize, he told me, is that Epstein would con him. Epstein would take $100 million of Towers money, move it offshore, and meanwhile cooperate with U.S. prosecutors against Hoffenberg, who was unable to do anything about this because he’d pleaded guilty, which meant there was no trial — and therefore no discovery.)

Lol, well, what did he think he was getting by hiring someone with no moral compass?

Ah, Ghislaine said in her recent testimony in prison that Epstein never met her father Robert Maxwell, but Hoffenberg says otherwise:

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

Hoffenberg told me that Epstein had said he’d worked on several projects with Robert Maxwell, including solving Maxwell’s “debt” issues.

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

Epstein had also told Hoffenberg that via Maxwell and Leese he was involved in something that Hoffenberg described as “national security issues,” which he says involved “blackmail, influence trading, trading information at a level that is very serious and dangerous.” ...

But the gist of the claims that you will be able to hear, and ultimately watch in a three-hour documentary series, is that Maxwell, who was himself a conduit between the Israelis and other governments during his life time, introduced Epstein to Israeli leaders, who then allegedly used Epstein as the equivalent of an old-fashioned Russian “sleeper,” someone who could be useful in an “influence campaign.”

The sources, who range from former arms dealers to former spies — and also Hoffenberg — suggest that Epstein, who lacked any sort of moral compass, decided to go one step further and compromise influential people by recording them doing things they wouldn’t want made public. ...

And once he got out of jail, in the last 10 years of his life, Epstein bragged to various people, including journalists, that he was advising a whole assortment of foreign leaders who included Vladimir Putin, Mohammed bin Zayed, Mohammed Bin Salman, various African dictators, Israel, the British — and, of course, the Americans. ...

It’s not wholly surprising therefore that the same sources who say they know he was some sort of intelligence asset say that he became a liability — which is why, possibly, he lost any “protection” and was arrested.

A handful of people I interviewed, including former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, maintain that this is exactly what happened to Robert Maxwell, which is why, they say, Maxwell was killed. His financial problems were about to make him vulnerable.

Jeez, here's "moral compass" again:

https://qz.com/1661999/jeffrey-epsteins-ex-mentor-accuses-him-of-fraud

Hoffenberg, a former Trump Tower tenant, started the pro-Trump political action committee Get Our Jobs Back in April of 2016. He said in a FEC filing in June it would conduct a $50 million marketing campaign for Trump. He “left the Trump team” after being disillusioned with their campaign tactics, he told Quartz, and particularly their reliance on Wikileaks. ...

He became a born-again Christian while he was in prison, he told Quartz, and spent years studying the Bible at his wife’s urging. Hoffenberg said he is speaking out now to help the original investors get their money back. The 1997 judgement against him requires him to pay investors back.

“I can’t support people who blatantly break the law. My moral compass today as a born again Christian is very substantial,” he said.

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-trump-tower/

Steven Hoffenberg, who worked in a 15th-floor suite, remembers his landlord’s tolerance. Trump leased space in 1993 to the debt-collection executive and one-time New York Post suitor months after he was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for running what was then one of the biggest Ponzi schemes ever.

“He’s very objective,” said Hoffenberg, who was indicted, went to prison for 18 years and was released in 2013. “Renting space has nothing to do with color or race – or indictment. It has to do with if you can pay the rent.” Hoffenberg, a born-again Christian, promised a $50 million marketing campaign this year when he started a pro-Trump super-PAC, Get Our Jobs Back Inc. So far, that money hasn’t materialized.

Another contradiction from Ghislaine's prison testimony:

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303

He describes his most public companion of the last decade, Ghislaine Maxwell, 41, the daughter of the late, disgraced media baron Robert Maxwell, as simply his “best friend.” He says she is not on his payroll, but she seems to organize much of his life...

Ghislaine explicitly said she was merely a paid employee of Epstein.

Les Wexner, Epstein's biggest customer and patron, is also very close to Ehud Barak:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wexner_Foundation

In October 2018, Israeli reporter Erel Segal reported that $2.3 million had been transferred to Ehud Barak for unknown work between 2004 and 2006 by the Wexner Foundation, which had described the money transfer as payment for research.[4] On October 29 Maariv (through its Israeli radio station) reported that Barak had been given the funds while he was a private citizen and the fund transfer is under investigation.

https://slaynews.com/news/epsteins-victims-go-public-push-release-sealed-files/

Victims of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will appear at a Capitol Hill news conference on Wednesday.

It comes as momentum builds in Congress to force the release of sealed files tied to Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking scandal.

The press event, featuring survivors alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), comes amid a bipartisan effort to use a procedural motion known as a discharge petition to compel a House vote demanding the Justice Department release the files. ...

The move comes just as the House Oversight Committee released nearly 34,000 pages of Epstein-related documents. ...

Massie dismissed the sudden document dump, saying:

“They haven’t given us anything. There’s nothing new here.”

He and Khanna accused leadership of trying to blunt their push to force a real vote on releasing the full Epstein files. ...

Khanna argued the victims’ testimony will cut through political gamesmanship.

“These victims haven’t spoken for decades,” Khanna said in a statement.

“When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers. ...

“There are a lot of other rich, powerful men, politicians, business leaders, who have committed abuse and who have not been held accountable,” Khanna added. ...

“This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls…

“In this country, people want transparency. They want accountability.”

Meanwhile, GOP leadership has introduced its own resolution to continue the Oversight Committee’s investigation, a move Massie blasted as “political cover” for lawmakers unwilling to back his bipartisan legislation.

For years, speculation has swirled about who else may have been involved in Epstein’s network of wealthy, powerful figures.

Now, with victims preparing to go before cameras, Khanna and Massie believe the pressure on Congress and the Justice Department may finally force answers.

My expectation is for yet more obfuscation, obstruction, and corruption. But it's important to keep the attention on Epstein going for as long as it takes.

Massie didn't get the votes he needed. Epstein delayed a while longer.

Luna said “Slavic foreign governments were named working with Epstein.” What do you want to bet one of those Slavic foreign governments has a fake, corruptocratic president whose name rhymes with “Smellensky?” I’d bet Michelle’s Tahoe on it.

Don’t overlook the tweet’s significance: Luna dropped “international trafficking networks,” “immigration fraud,” the US Treasury, and Deutsche Bank. In other words, she described a state-sponsored, big-dollar, international conspiracy— not just gigabytes of grotesque child porn that ‘somehow’ found their way into the now-useless FBI files during Biden’s tenure.

Remember: Bondi never said there was no Epstein conspiracy. She just said that evidence wasn’t in the FBI files. It appears Republicans are quietly redoing the Epstein investigation, except properly and methodically this time.

For some reason, some conservative black-pillers buy the Democrats’ theory that the “Epstein files” contain some sort of Trump-killing smoking gun. For the life of me, I will never understand why. If that were true, why didn’t Biden use that smoking gun to erase Trump’s political existence? (Democrats cling to a far-fetched theory about unidentified Trump holdovers at FBI shielding the smoking-gun documents during the interregnum.) You guys are on your own with that theory; have at it in the comments.

Can you see what kind of magic is happening here? Democrats are now hanging on every new release from Republicans, carefully reviewing all the trickled-out Epstein material (trying to find their smoking gun, but still). And —this is the most important point— if they ever want to hang Trump with Epstein’s prison sheet, Democrats will have to demand justice for all other names as they surface, too.

Does anyone really believe that Democrats’ fascination with this story happened on accident? Or because President Trump —whose DOJ arrested Epstein— really fears the facts? You really think Congressional Republicans like Anna Paulina Luna and James Comer are defying some Trump directive to “bury the Epstein story?”

It looks to me like the Epstein story is being disclosed, just slowly and painfully, and not in the way we’d pictured it. And somehow the Democrats have come onside with Republicans in demanding justice. It’s a kind of miracle.

There’s too many powerful intel people who don’t want it out. Dragging it out is what they do.

Let's not release the Epstein Files now because they weren't released under Biden.

Makes perfect sense.

Epstein Victims and Survivors Speak Out for the FIRST TIME – Announce They Will RELEASE Their OWN Client List to Expose the Elite Pedophile Ring Cover-Up

A group of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims broke decades of silence on Wednesday, stepping forward to demand justice and transparency from the government and vowing to release their own client list if the political establishment continues to stonewall.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino ignited a firestorm across conservative circles after publicly backing the official narrative that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.

In July, a new FBI/DOJ memo obtained by Axios concludes Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail. The FBI also determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019.

The FBI memo says there is no evidence that Epstein blackmailed powerful political figures. Additionally, the memo suggests that no further Epstein records will be released.

“The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no “further disclosure” of Epstein-related material “would be appropriate or warranted,”” Axios reported.

On Wednesday, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) hosted a press conference alongside ten survivors of Epstein’s abuse. Also present was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Rep. Khanna claims support is growing on both sides of the aisle, with 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans expressing willingness to act.

This comes as the House Oversight Committee confirmed the Department of Justice had turned over an additional 33,000 pages of Epstein-related documents under subpoena.

For the first time, survivors of Epstein’s network of abuse addressed the American people directly.

“We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors and for survivors; no one else involved.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/epstein-victims-survivors-speak-first-time-announce-they/

Trump's reverse psychology denying any significance to the Epstein distraction worked. It really, really worked. Everybody is on fire to keep the Epstein revelations going and going, including the Dems now.

Trump can bail out and tell his gang stalkers he tried while shrugging his shoulders.

Also when you see $$$$$ signs then you start talking. What is truth though? There's probably $100M+ in his estate. Supposed victims could get $1-2M a pop. Life changing money for most that they'll burn through.

I still believe this is a witch hunt that is a dead end. Rich people may be involved, but they're not the people you know or want to hear arrested. Ted Wilson (making a name up) in Iowa city with a bunch of farmland. That get ya going? Clinton was going to St. Thomas prior to knowing Epstein and then started flying on the Lolita. I dislike Clinton, even though he was the best POTUS since Trump.

The guy was getting BJ's in the White House from above age interns. He's also not stupid. I don't know about the one prince, they all seem gay in Europe anyway. But if there's any proven pedo's it will be people you've never heard of in your life. Maybe a few C level types that you know the name but it doesn't much matter. Again Jared from Subway. Anyone care about that guy now? Nope.

I get your point, but Dems are trying to flip the script. If Trump was involved in anything they could have trashed him. Or any of his donors. This appears to be a Dem coverup in my opinion. No facts to back that opinion, but I think Epstein was on the Dem side looking at some of the supposed perpetrators of sexual violence.

Professional lawfare man hating legal extortionists aren't a great look. How many false witnesses can Allred hire? Is she a double agent to discredit the Epstein agenda?

Why not release and burn them all then?

From 2019:

https://mintpressnews.cn/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/

Before getting to the Mega Group, it is worth noting one particular act apparently undertaken by Lauder while he was U.S. ambassador to Austria that has recently come to light in relation to the arrest in early July of Jeffrey Epstein ... When police recently discovered an Austrian passport with Epstein’s picture and a fake name after raiding his Manhattan residence, the source and purpose of the passport came under media scrutiny. ...

Given that Epstein was unable to meet the conventional qualifications for an Austrian passport — including long-term residency in Austria (the passport lists him as a resident of Saudi Arabia) and fluency in German — it appears that the only way to have acquired an Austrian passport was by unconventional means, meaning assistance from a well-connected Austrian official or foreign diplomat with clout in Austria. ...

Though Epstein’s defense attorney declined to reveal the identity of the “friend” who provided him with the fake Austrian passport, Lauder was both well-positioned to acquire it in Austria and also deeply connected to the Mega Group, which was co-founded by Epstein’s patron Leslie Wexner and to which Epstein has many connections. These connections to both the Austrian government and to Epstein’s mentor make Lauder the most likely person to have acquired the document on Epstein’s behalf. ...

Furthermore, Epstein and the Mega Group’s ties to the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, also suggest Lauder was involved in procuring the passport, in light of his close ties to the Israeli government and the fact that Mossad has a history of using ambassadors abroad to procure false, foreign passports for its operatives.

Eric Holder says

Why not release and burn them all then?

Agree. There's something here that none of us are seeing. We don't have the evidence so it's all just guessing.

Trump was a Dem at one point. He has friends in that realm. Pedophilia is generally a left leaning type thing. Some conservatives got into it, but I'd say it's 10:1 Left:Right. Epstein may haunt Trump's past with his associations with the left. I think Trump personally is clean, that said I think he obviously knew what was going on.

It's the kind of leave me out of your shit and leave me alone situation. If Trump knew something he's immediately implicated even if he didn't touch a minor. That's the world we live in.

I wonder if there is any connection between all this talk about releasing the Epstein files and Netanyahu’s stated desire to take away your freedom of speech?

The rabbit hole is too deep and too ineffably horrible/psychotic/depraved for the public's Overton stretch. There is unlikely to be any forensically useful source evidence that has not been tampered with as booby traps by CIA/Mossad/MI6 etc. etc., and the operations have been shifted to ongoing operations anyway into other venues that don't have the publicity spotlight. In other words, business as usual and there is no reason for Trump to get stuck on the tar baby.

So, now the whole affair has been twisted into a MSM Mockingbird parody with a three ring circus of crazy liberals, professional media and legal extortionists, and raving Congressional hit men.

The Epstein publicity has turned into a great disinformation cover for all of the Intel assets still honey potting and pedovoring/blackmailing someplace else without the cynosures of press examination. It sounds the alarm so all the police go to the site while they have free reign to rob the jewelry stores. Nobody even thinks of Epstein as being the tip of the Intel iceberg, they think it is the whole game.

Jizzlaine Lite Actress demonstrates they will deconstruct it into tawdry, shallow soap opera, maybe to resurrected from time to time as a publicity zombie.

The Jewish mafia in the US was a big funder of Israel early on.

Shortly thereafter, Siegel came in. He sat opposite Dafni and asked him to tell why he was in Los Angeles. As Dafni relates, “I told him my story, how the Haganah was raising money to buy weapons with which to fight. When I finished, Siegel asked, ‘You mean to tell me Jews are fighting?’ Yes, I replied. Then Siegel, who was sitting across the table, leaned forward till his nose was almost touching mine. ‘You mean fighting, as in killing?’ Yes, I answered. Siegel leaned back, looked at me for a moment and said, ‘OK, I’m with you.’ ”

“From then on,” recalled Dafni, “Every week I got a phone call to go to the restaurant. And every week I received a suitcase filled with $5 and $10 bills. The payments continued till I left Los Angeles.” Dafni estimates that Siegel gave him a total of $50,000.

Later that year, Dafni was in a hotel in San Francisco. He went down for breakfast and bought a newspaper. The headline declared that Bugsy Siegel had been killed in Virginia Hill’s mansion. Dafni mused, “Thank God I took cash and not a check.”

The report, titled “Shapiro Homicide Investigation: Analysis and Hypothesis,” names Leslie Wexner as linked “with associates reputed to be organized crime figures” ...

The report also noted that Arthur Shapiro’s law firm — Schwartz, Shapiro, Kelm & Warren — represented Wexner’s company, The Limited, and states that “prior to his death, Arthur Shapiro managed this account [The Limited] for the law firm.” It also noted that, at the time of his death, Shapiro “was the subject of an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service because he had failed to file income tax returns for some seven years prior to his death, and he had invested in some questionable tax shelters.” It also stated that his death prevented Shapiro from his planned testimony at a grand jury hearing about these “questionable tax shelters.”

Maybe Epstein was also killed so that he could not talk about tax evasion.

The “Mega” Mystery and the Mossad

In May 1997, the Washington Post broke an explosive story — long since forgotten — based on an intercepted phone call made between a Mossad official in the U.S. and his superior in Tel Aviv that discussed the Mossad’s efforts to obtain a secret U.S. government document. According to the Post, the Mossad official stated during the phone call that “Israeli Ambassador Eliahu Ben Elissar had asked him whether he could obtain a copy of the letter given to [Palestinian leader Yasser] Arafat by [then-Secretary of State Warren] Christopher on Jan. 16, the day after the Hebron accord was signed by Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.”

The Post article continued:

According to a source who viewed a copy of the NSA transcript of the conversation, the intelligence officer, speaking in Hebrew, said, ‘The ambassador wants me to go to Mega to get a copy of this letter.’ The source said the supervisor in Tel Aviv rejected the request, saying, ‘This is not something we use Mega for.’”

The leaked communication led to an investigation that sought to identify an individual code-named “Mega” that the Post said “may be someone in the U.S. government who has provided information to the Israelis in the past,” a concern that subsequently spawned a fruitless FBI investigation. The Mossad later claimed that “Mega” was merely a codeword for the U.S.’ CIA, but the FBI and NSA were unconvinced by that claim ...

Almost one year to the day after the “Mega” spy scandal broke, the Wall Street Journal was the first outlet to report on the existence of a little-known organization of billionaires that was “informally” called the Mega Group and had been founded years prior in 1991. The report made no mention of the spy scandal that had spread concerns of Israeli espionage in the U.S. only a year prior. However, the group’s distinctive “informal” name and the connections of its members to the Mossad and to high-ranking Israeli politicians, including prime ministers, raise the possibility that “Mega” was not an individual, as the FBI and NSA had believed, but a group.

https://mintpressnews.cn/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/

Around this time, Maxwell was approached by British intelligence outfit MI6 and offered a position that Maxwell ultimately declined. MI6 then classified him as “Zionist — loyal only to Israel” and made him a person of interest. He later became an agent of the Mossad, according to several books including Robert Maxwell: Israel’s Superspy by Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon. Furthermore, Seymour Hersh’s The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy alleges ties between Maxwell and Israeli intelligence.

According to Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad case officer:

Mossad was financing many of its operations in Europe from money stolen from Maxwell’s newspaper pension fund. They got their hands on the funds almost as soon as Maxwell made the purchase of the Mirror Newspaper Group with money lent to him by Mossad.”

https://mintpressnews.cn/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/

Whereas the Mossad’s past reliance on gathering intelligence had relied on the same tactics used by its equivalents in the U.S. and elsewhere, the widespread adoption of the Promis software, largely through the actions of Earl Brian and Robert Maxwell, gave the Mossad a way to gather not just troves of counterintelligence data, but also blackmail on other intelligence agencies and powerful figures.

Indeed, Promis’ backdoor and adoption by intelligence agencies all over the world essentially provided the Mossad with access to troves of blackmail that the CIA and FBI had acquired on their friends and foes for over half a century. Strangely, in recent years, the FBI has sought to hide information related to Robert Maxwell’s connection to the Promis scandal.
