Yesterday, a newly invigorated New York Times ran a triumphant story headlined, “House Democrats Release Epstein’s Birthday Letter Apparently Signed by Trump.”

Trump flat denies it. Yesterday, the White House said, again, that the image was not created by the President. “As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X.

When the “note” first appeared after a DOJ “leak,” Trump posted, “The supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE.” He has hinted that Biden’s DOJ put a lot of “garbage” in the Epstein file. President Trump also sued the Wall Street Journal silly over the story, which would be a strange bit of brinksmanship if he knew the note was legit.

The bizarre note bears no resemblance to anything Trump has ever written. It looks more like something two stoned staffers worked up, giggling like Beavis the whole time.

Let’s take a single example. Trump’s language style is typically simple, direct, and usually Anglo-Saxon. In other words, he tends to use short, common words and straightforward idioms, both in speech and in his personal correspondence.

Voice Over:
There must be more to life than having everything.
Donald
Yes. there is, but I won't tell you what it is.
Jeffrey
Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
Donald
We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey
Yes, we do, come 10 think of it.
Donald
Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey
As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time saw you.
Donsid
A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another
wonderful secret
Donaid J. Trump

But the word enigma is snooty, formal, literary, and Latinate (Portlanders: from a Latin root), in stark contrast with Trump’s well-known plain-talking style. Fact-checkers have pointed out that “enigma” cannot be found in the thousands of letters or public statements attributed to Trump, making its appearance in this note a puzzling outlier. (“Enigma” did appear, once each, in two of Trump’s less-well-known books; but both were almost certainly ghost-written.)

Most of all, the real enigma is why Trump would refer to himself as an ‘enigma,’ which is the opposite of brash and plain-spoken. ...

Beyond the stylistic issues, other problems with the note remain. Trump starkly denies it, he’s sued the Journal for billions, it includes strange, non-Trumpian elements, it comes without any chain of custody, and it has never appeared before now. Nobody (except possibly Epstein’s estate and House Committee members) has ever seen the original. The text appears degraded, as if by multiple layers of copying, but the scribble isn’t degraded. In other words, was the ‘drawing’ part added later?

All these arguments are red meat for the media, which is debating them with its entire arsenal of multimedia weapons, but the overlooked elephant in the outhouse is that, even if Trump did write it, the letter doesn’t actually say anything incriminating. To intuit that Trump somehow winked at shared criminal conduct —the kind that carries a life sentence— is a heavy lift. At worst, it’s bawdy and gross. But it was also a private letter, so where on Earth can you be bawdy and gross if not in private?

Finally, the scribble dates to a 2003 birthday book, which is several years before the timeline suggests Trump found out about Epstein’s conduct and banned the enigmatic mystery man from Mar-a-Lago. So … what does it prove, even if authentic? ...

What I find most interesting about this news is that the same day the Times tried to pivot to JPMorgan in a 20,000-word opus, and the Trump-Epstein story was fading away, the House Committee coughed up another copy of the birthday scribble to re-energize the media hysteria. Unless we think the House is working against Trump —and all the evidence points the other way— it seems like Trump wants the controversy to continue. Which is classic Trump media strategy.

In an awe-inspiring sense, this new, constant media drumbeat about Epstein is a kind of miracle. For years, journalists, activists, and researchers struggled to draw serious, sustained media attention to Epstein’s network and abuses. Corporate media ignored leads and buried stories. Yet now, thanks to DoodleGate, Epstein is everywhere.

How do you get the media to fully explore the Epstein story? Just. Like. This.

Soo, any dirt on Bill Gates? Shall we consider him exonerated? Have he used the word "enigma" ever?

The House Oversight Committee has released another tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, including a message from former President Bill Clinton in the disgraced financier’s infamous “birthday book.”

The surprise Monday night dump came hours after Epstein’s estate turned materials over to investigators in response to a congressional subpoena. ...

The former president’s friendly relationship with Epstein is well-documented, including multiple trips on Epstein’s plane. ...

Other parts of the book veered into the bizarre and suggestive.

It included dozens of childhood photos, topless or censored images of Maxwell, shirtless shots of Epstein, and bikini-clad women leaving notes about visits to Palm Beach.

Animal mating pictures and even a cartoon about “thinking less about money and more about naked women” also appeared in the pages.

One entry, written as a joke, appeared under attorney Alan Dershowitz’s name, claiming he had convinced Vanity Fair to change an article’s focus from Epstein to Clinton.

Dershowitz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Another caption suggested Epstein was working for the CIA, accompanying a photo of him with a redacted woman.

Would be nice if they had the whole Clinton letter in the article, but no.

https://rudy.substack.com/p/women-and-children-first

Peter McCormack: “One day [Robert Maxwell’s] body is found in the ocean. Another suspicious death.”

Whitney Webb: “Yeah. Ghislaine thinks it was rogue Mossad agents and Sicilian mafia hitman that killed him.”

McCormack: “Together?”

Webb: “Working together. That's kind of the thesis of my book.” ...

“Basically what I argue in my book is that the network behind Epstein, and the reason why there's so many powerful people in this group is because it's born out of this union that occurred during World War II between organized crime and the U.S. intelligence apparatus.”

"We're never going to get an affidavit from the CIA like, "Yes, we did bad things." We've known they've done bad things in various decades. It's been very documented, and they won't admit to bad things there in almost every one of those cases. So you're not going to get that about Epstein or about anybody else."

“If I say Epstein had a relationship with people, I'm not saying they had a sex blackmail relationship necessarily. What we're trying to untangle here is the truth of who Epstein was, and why was he taken down - because I don't think he was taken down because in 2019 all of a sudden the US government became outraged about the sweetheart deal of 2007, 12 years after the fact, and then wanted to rectify some wrong. I think it was about something else.”

“Apollo Global Management is [Leon Black’s] firm that he funded with other ex-Drexel people, and his crimes with Epstein were investigated by an internal group at Apollo that exonerated him. One of the lead authors on that is a guy named Alvin Buzzy Krongard, who used to be executive director of the CIA and is one of the main suspects in 9/11 insider trading. It's a meta cartel.”

“There's a lot of weird stuff with Epstein, for example, in the 2008 financial crisis that hasn't been appropriately investigated which was, you know, in essence a huge wealth transfer from the bottom 99% to the top 1%, and of course Epstein was a major banker for the top 1%. He basically was the pin that popped Bear Sterns, and then Bear Stearns is absorbed by Epstein's new bank, JP Morgan.”

“As my books show, if you go as deep as I went in writing those two books - and you could certainly go deeper - it basically shows that the world is run by a meta-cartel. I would argue it is a cartel. It basically operates with an impunity. They have no accountability for all of their crimes, even when they're exposed here and there. Some people just are protected and above the law, almost inexplicably, and as I point out in my book, it's a lot of the same actors over and over again, the same institutions.”

Webb: “They only want to keep the discussion at sex trafficking, because it's wider than sex.”

McCormack: “Because it's wider than that.”

Webb: “Epstein was absolutely doing a lot of really shady arms trafficking stuff and financial criminality, and they have no interest in getting deep in the weeds there because that exposes other people.”

McCormack: “So, organized crime hasn't gone away. It's just…”

Webb: “Rebranded. It's rebranded. They're philanthropists now.”

McCormack: “Well, look at Leslie Wexner.”

Webb: “Yeah, of course. Leslie Wexner is a great example of that.”

“Epstein had long been a treasured customer at JPMorgan. His accounts were brimming with more than $200 million. He generated millions of dollars in revenue for the bank, landing him atop an internal list of major money makers. He helped JPMorgan orchestrate an important acquisition. He introduced executives to men who would become lucrative clients, like the Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and to global leaders, like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.”

“Sure enough, just as more bank employees were losing patience with Epstein in 2011, he began dangling more goodies. That March, to the pleasant surprise of JPMorgan’s investment bankers in Israel, they were granted an audience with Netanyahu. The bankers informed Staley, who forwarded their email to Epstein with a one-word message: “Thanks.””

“The fallout for JPMorgan has been limited. In 2023, it paid $290 million to settle a lawsuit brought by roughly 200 of Epstein’s victims and an additional $75 million to resolve related litigation brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where many of Epstein’s crimes took place. The payments were a rounding error for a company that raked in more than $50 billion in profits that year. (The bank didn’t admit wrongdoing and is trying to force its insurers to cover some of the litigation costs.) No regulator took action against JPMorgan. No executives lost their jobs. Dimon remains one of the most powerful bankers in the world.”

“The apparent impunity alarmed Bridgette Carr, a law professor and human-trafficking expert whom the U.S. Virgin Islands hired after Epstein’s death to analyze JPMorgan’s role. Carr concluded that the bank enabled his crimes. “I am deeply worried here that the ultimate message to other financial institutions is that they can keep serving traffickers,” she told us. “It’s still profitable to do that, given the lack of substantial consequences.””

One of the Satanic abuse victims said the Epstein file originals are kept by the Vatican. P2, P3 Masons (mafia, black nobles), they are all tied together with the Intels in the International crime enterprises. Of course, the Vatican is on board with the NWO. They don't care what depravity is inflicted as long as they have a shot at becoming the One World Religion.

"Whitney Webb: “Yeah. Ghislaine thinks it was rogue Mossad agents and Sicilian mafia hitman that killed him.”

McCormack: “Together?”"

Webb: “Working together. That's kind of the thesis of my book.” ...

Maybe Trump will pardon Jizzlaine with the Biden AutoPen.

https://slaynews.com/news/ex-uk-ambassador-lord-mandelson-scrambled-shield-jeffrey-epstein-fbi-investigation-emails-show/

Former British ambassador to the United States Lord Peter Mandelson is under fire after newly unearthed emails revealed he worked behind the scenes to support child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as U.S. authorities closed in on him.

The cache of messages, obtained by Bloomberg, shows the socialist Labour Party power broker, once dubbed the “Prince of Darkness,” acting as a confidant to Epstein while serving as EU Trade Commissioner, even as the disgraced financier faced charges for abusing minors.

In one 2006 email, Mandelson wrote Epstein: “What’s cooking? Here whenever you need.”

Later, on the eve of Epstein reporting to prison in 2008, Mandelson told his “best pal,” “I think the world of you… You must fight for early release.”

The revelations paint a damning picture of Mandelson coaching Epstein through his legal troubles, with Epstein even asking whether the commissioner could help secure a pardon from Florida’s governor.

On Thursday morning, after the emails emerged, Mandelson was fired as the U.K.’s U.S. ambassador over the revelations about his relationship with Epstein. ...

Despite public denials, records show Mandelson stayed in touch with Epstein for years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from minors.

Ceffer says

Maybe Trump will pardon Jizzlaine with the Biden AutoPen.

She's probably already out.

Charlie Kirk had publicly called for the release of the Epstein files. In a video posted on September 8, 2025, just two days before his death, Kirk stated:

“The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein… Every file should be released to the public”

https://classythomasmassie.substack.com/p/massie-working-hard-to-force-a-vote

Massie’s controversial discharge petition is moving closer to the threshold of 218 signatures. If the benchmark is reached, it will trigger a floor vote on the Epstein files.

“Ro Khanna has communicated with them, I believe, and he’s indicated to me that they’ve expressed they’ll sign it. We’ll get to 218. In fact, we have one more person coming in November, so we need two signatures, and three will be here soon enough.” – Massie

The hope is that Massie’s leadership will spur such a vote, emboldening lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to release the Epstein documents.

At the moment, merely one more House vote is necessary to hit 218. It looks like Massie might build momentum toward the threshold later this month.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/reckoning-redux-saturday-september

Two days ago, Bloomberg ran an exclusive story below the headline, “Jeffrey Epstein Email Trove Reveals Ghislaine Maxwell’s Secrets.”

Bloomberg isn’t saying where they got them. But the paper reported it had reviewed “a cache of more than 18,000” emails from a particular Yahoo email account “which haven’t been previously reported.” As you might guess, the emails also apparently included scads of salacious attachments. ...

The article was packed with scandalous and tantalizing new details. For example, Bloomberg cited a “gift spreadsheet” that includes names and lavish spending on big-ticket things from a $35,000 watch for a “former Bill Clinton aide” and a Lexis for his attorney Alan Dershowitz, down to various items of “lingerie” for teenage girls and a series of “Massage for Dummies” books...

Apart from the intriguing buffet of new hints and fascinating details, what must be the article’s biggest news was buried two-thirds of the way through the lengthy story. In over 18,000 emails, Bloomberg only found three references to President Trump.

“Except for three minor instances,” Bloomberg said, “the emails do not mention President Donald Trump.” In a 2006 email, Maxwell asked Epstein to review a list (for an unknown purpose) of 51 “politicians, business executives, and Wall Street powerbrokers.” Epstein responded with two words: “remove Trump.” In a 2007 email —a month before Epstein brokered his non-prosecution agreement— Maxwell told Epstein, “you have to assume they went to donald trump, then gossman, the docs in wpb, paschow etc.”

It’s just three emails, but based on those, one can fairly assume Epstein considered Trump to be a dangerous enemy. ...

Also two days ago (not coincidentally, as it turns out), the UK Guardian ran a story headlined, “Keir Starmer sacks Peter Mandelson over Jeffrey Epstein ties.” (What we really need to figure out is how a notorious pedophile like Jeffrey Epstein managed to infiltrate layers of governments all over the world, but I digress.)

The short version is that one of the most influential, well-entrenched British deep state overlords’ career is finished. He refused to resign, so Prime Minister Kier Starmer was forced to sack him, which in British English means “fired with extreme prejudice.”

Lord Mandelson was most recently appointed as the UK’s top diplomat to the U.S., and was preparing to meet with President Trump next week in London. But before that, he has advised any number of British Prime Ministers. He has dined with the King and consulted with the Queen, probably many times. He’s known as a “political fixer,” and has held dozens of top appointments in the UK government. Including once —ironically, as it turns out— serving as the country’s top prosecutor (like our Attorney General).

I say it was “ironic” because emails and a newly released photo (above) from Epstein’s “birthday book” show Mandelson was, wait for it, close friends with Jeffrey Epstein. One begins to wonder just how many “close friends” the international man of mystery collected, in between all those massages. Thousands, it seems. Anyway, not only did Mandselson call Epstein “my best pal,” he expressed feelings of “grief” over Epstein’s 2007 conviction, strategically advised him how to get out of it, and kept being best pals anyways. ...

The emails that sank Mandelson for good were not part of any government archives. Instead, they came apparently from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account, which was just acquired and vetted by Bloomberg “using established digital investigative journalistic practices.” ...

In another email, not any quid pro quo, perish the thought, Epstein asked Lord Mandelson to seek a pardon for him as to the state charges from Florida’s Governor Charlie Crist, who was visiting the UK at the time. ...

Lord Mandelson is not any bit player. He’s the head of Britain’s deep state, connected to royalty and legions of foreign dignitaries. Whether by blackmail or by animal lust, Epstein controlled him. Now, just over the last two days, previously unseen emails and a brand new birthday book— generously seasoned with Trump derangement— permanently ended the long-time political fixer.

Who gave Bloomberg those emails?

Patrick says

Who gave Bloomberg those emails?

Were there any "Trump's Guilty Again For Dummies" books in there?

Clear as day, there is a major frame job going in those files that has the Dems drooling like Pavlov's dog.

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/epstein-files-release-the-coverup

Throwing the likes of Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, George Mitchell, Jeal Luc Brunel, Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky, Tom Pritzker and various other John Doe sex addicts under proverbial buses is nothing more than a distraction.

At this stage of the game is the following really a major revelation?:




... The real story that mainstream media refuses to investigate is why federal judges in New York have been allowed to secret away in sealed documents the puzzle pieces to how Epstein’s network of powerful men were able to run a sex trafficking ring for two decades with the “active participation” of the largest federally-insured bank in the United States, JPMorgan Chase; and right under the nose of its Chairman, CEO and media darling, Jamie Dimon.

This is the Big Story that has been left to wilt on the vine by the likes of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and their peers. ...

Many of the individuals listed in Epstein’s little black book – a total of 1,571 – have had important banking relationships with JPMorgan Chase. In a court filing on July 26 of last year by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which has since settled its Epstein-related case against JPMorgan Chase for $75 million, it listed the following individuals as people Epstein referred as clients to the bank: Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates; Google co-founder and billionaire Sergey Brin; the Sultan of Dubai, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem; media and real estate billionaire Mort Zuckerman; and numerous others. ...

The lawsuit’s theory of the case was that specific members of the Board of JPMorgan Chase “put their heads in the sand” and ignored that the bank had become a cash conduit for Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring because they were hoping that their own verifiable business ties to Epstein “would go unnoticed.” (We might add an attendant thesis: that Dimon takes very good care of his Board in return for them taking very good care of him.)

Mainstream media ignored the allegations that members of the JPMorgan Chase Board of Directors had business ties with Epstein and Judge Rakoff wasted no time in dismissing the case on technical grounds. (This was not the first time that a major scandal involving JPMorgan Chase received a news blackout by mainstream media.) ...

The real puzzle pieces are the thousands upon thousands of hours of videotape that Epstein recorded across all of his hidden cameras throughout his various homes and getaways. That is the most damning evidence, and it will never be released.

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr conned President Trump, ran cover for the CIA, MOSSAD, MEGA Group, and other entities that worked with Epstein. And then Bill Barr had Epstein suicided, and laughed about it during his MSM interviews.

The fact that Bill Barr’s father, author of a depraved pedo sci-fi novella, hired Epstein as a teacher in a prestigious NYC prep school is also no coincidence.

The fact that JPMorgan Chase, which aided and abetted Epstein’s sex trafficking ring for decades, is one of the owners of the Federal Reserve should give further pause as to why there is a central bank to begin with that is neither Federal nor has any actual reserves, and what deeper global financial scams are afoot leveraging powerful pedophiles.

Nope, that horse ain't dead.

Why are almost all Republicans blocking the full Epstein files from being released?

Opportunism and cowardice by Republicans here.

They note everyone is distracted, then use that opportunity to keep hiding the Epstein files from the public.

Opportunism and cowardice by Republicans here.

A fish rots from the head down. The executive branch has all the power necessary to release the files. And seeing how they act even when their authority is uncertain (cough, tariffs, cough) the argument that they suddenly need judges or the Congess to permit the release is insulting everybody's intelligence.

Our buddy Benjamin Fulford with his customary exotic take on things, but perhaps a bit more anchored than usual. Even the CK stuff is tied in with the Epstein files.

What gets me is Biden regime's FBI and DOJ sat on this for 4 years. Same FBI that said AntiFa or Violent Left does not exist. What is interesting as both Biden regime's White House chief of staff were Jewish American.

Grok:

Can Congress Compel the Release of All Epstein Files Held by the FBI?

Yes, Congress has the constitutional authority to compel the release of investigative files held by the FBI (part of the executive branch), but this power is not absolute and faces practical, legal, and political limitations. The executive branch (DOJ/FBI) controls the files initially, but Congress can assert oversight through legislative tools, though full release may require negotiation, court enforcement, or overcoming vetoes. Below, I explain the mechanisms, limits, and Epstein-specific context.Congress's Investigative PowerAuthority: Congress's oversight stems from Article I (legislative powers) and the Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. I, § 8, cl. 18). The Supreme Court has upheld this as essential for legislation and accountability (e.g., McGrain v. Daugherty, 1927; Watkins v. United States, 1957). It includes subpoenas for documents/testimony and public release of non-classified materials.

Tools to Compel Release:Subpoenas: Committees (e.g., House Oversight) can demand files; non-compliance leads to contempt charges or court enforcement.

Legislation: Bills or resolutions (e.g., discharge petitions) can mandate release within deadlines.

Amendments: Attach to must-pass bills (e.g., defense authorizations).

Executive Branch Control and LimitsInitial Custody: The FBI/DOJ holds files and can withhold under executive privilege (e.g., national security, ongoing investigations, victim privacy).

Courts may uphold this if Congress's demand exceeds legislative needs (Trump v. Mazars, 2020).

Veto Power: Presidential veto can block bills, requiring a 2/3 override.

Practical Barriers: Political opposition (e.g., from leadership) or inter-branch negotiation often resolves disputes without full release.

Epstein Files SpecificsIn 2025, bipartisan efforts (e.g., Reps. Massie/R-KY and Khanna/D-CA's discharge petition) aim to compel full DOJ/FBI release within 30 days.

House Oversight released ~33,000 pages in September 2025 via subpoena, but critics say it's incomplete.

Senate votes (e.g., Schumer's amendment) failed, showing executive resistance (e.g., via Trump veto threats).

Congress can compel but may not force immediate, full release without override or court backing.In summary, Congress can compel via subpoenas or laws, but the executive retains leverage through privilege and vetoes, often resolved politically

PATEL: The estate of Epstein has a voluminous amount of information that they have not released

LIEU: Wouldn't it be great if the FBI subpoenaed the estate?

PATEL: The estate is under no obligation to provide that information

LIEU: That's just false. You're the frickin' FBI! You can subpoena information

Moskowitz: You've seen the picture of the woman's body with the president's signature—he says it's not his. Will you open up an investigation into Epstein estate for putting out a fake document?

Patel: On what basis?

Moskowitz: They put out a fake signature—a forgery of his signature.

Patel: Sure, I'll do it.

Kash Patel: "Do you know how court orders work?"

Dan Goldman: "I was a prosecutor. A real prosecutor for ten years. I want to understand what the court order prevents you from releasing witness statements that the FBI took... you are hiding the Epstein files. You are part of the cover-up."

I want them to release everything. Not just the witness statements, but all the video footage (with girls blurred) and everything else they have.

Total transparency.

Dan Goldman: "I was a prosecutor. A real prosecutor for ten years. I want to understand what the court order prevents you from releasing witness statements that the FBI took... you are hiding the Epstein files. You are part of the cover-up."

And Kash Patel was a real public defender in South Florida so its not as though he does not understand this. It helps he was a public defender to understand the process on both sides.

.

Patel has basically exonerated everybody who was ever suspected or accused of fucking minors provided to them by Epstein. So don't you dare joking about Bill Gates visiting the pedo island on TV unless you want the FCC wreck your ass. 🤡

He also admitted that the sole reason for him being where he is now was complete and utter BS. 🤭

Wrong, Kash Patel has been a trial lawyer and gone through the entire process from discovery to closing arguments by the defense team. Plus he was an assistant US attorney under Trump involved in criminal investigations.

Dan Bongino has investigated crimes at NYPD then at Secret Service, as he investigated fraud cases while assigned to Secret Service in New York.

Howard Rubin, ex-NYC financier with ties to George Soros, arrested for allegedly sex-trafficking women to ‘sex dungeon’ penthouse: feds

A retired Big Apple financier with past ties to George Soros allegedly “tortured” former Playboy models and other women in a Midtown penthouse-turned-soundproofed BDSM “sex dungeon” for years, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Howard Rubin, 70, was arrested by federal authorities at his home in Fairfield, Ct., Friday morning on charges he sex-trafficked at least 10 women between 2009 and 2019, luring them to swanky New York City hotels and the leased luxury pad near Central Park — where he restrained, beat and electrically shocked them, the Brooklyn US Attorney’s Office charged.

The famed former money manager — known as “Howie” or “H” and worth at least tens of millions of dollars — even appeared to revel in the stomach-turning encounters in text messages with his personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, who is also facing sex-trafficking charges tied to the scheme.

https://slaynews.com/news/dnc-refuses-return-decades-donations-jeffrey-epstein/

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is under renewed fire after revelations that it never returned donations from Jeffrey Epstein.

Evidence has emerged showing that the DNC failed to return the money even as the late financier’s sex-trafficking case files continue to rock Washington. ...

Scrutiny over donations tied to controversial figures is standard practice in politics.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), for example, faced calls to return $1.4 million linked to its former finance chair Steve Wynn after he stepped down in 2018 amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations.

The DNC also accepted more than $90,000 from billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, a longtime associate of Epstein who faced accusations from Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Trump admin pretty much squashed all Epstein stuff. They are protecting people who have been and are above the law. TACO

Read sickening messages between ex-NYC financier Howard Rubin and his personal assistant as pair celebrate hurting women

Disturbing text messages between accused BDSM-crazed tycoon Howard Rubin and his longtime personal assistant were laid bare Friday as federal prosecutors charged the pair with a decade-long sex-trafficking scheme.

Rubin, 70, brazenly memorialized his twisted sexual deviances in missives exchanged with 45-year-old staffer Jennifer Powers and others — including some of his alleged victims — giddily bragging about his love of hurting women, court papers charged.

Here are some of the sickening messages revealed by Brooklyn federal prosecutors as Rubin and Powers were hit with a 10-count indictment:

In one horrifying exchange in 2015, when the retired financier Rubin allegedly told Powers that he had his way with a woman tied up to a cross.

The dedicated sidekick — who had worked for Rubin since 2011 — sent a sickening reply, the feds charged.

“I can only imagine what you did to her on that cross!!! Did you shock her p—y??” Powers allegedly wrote.

Rubin allegedly replied that he had, but bemoaned the fact that his electrocution device was losing strength, according to court papers.

It just goes to show that women will endure anything if there's a payoff.

I sometimes wonder what women were like 250,000 years ago, before they were bred for compliance/dual mating strategy.

Larry Niven, in his Tales of Known Space universe had the Kzinti, who bred out intelligence in their females over a half million years ago, so that they couldn't even speak.

Is 4th wave feminism the last gasp of resistance by women before they end up like Kzinti females?
