The weekend also toppled another top Epstein domino. The New York Times ran a magazine-style exclusive headlined, “Money, Women and Taxes: Jeffrey Epstein’s Fiery Friendship with a Wall Street Titan.” The sub-headline explained, “New emails show how Mr. Epstein pressured Leon Black, his longtime friend and patron, to fork over millions for financial services.”




Based on the newly disclosed emails, billionaire Leon Black was Epstein’s largest client and source of funds, having paid Epstein $170 million over five years between 2012 and 2017 —well after his 2008 conviction— for “tax and estate planning.”

Leon Black is a living archetype of a Wall Street warlord. He’s thick-necked, silver-haired, and perpetually glowering, like a man deciding whether to buy you or eat you. The Times described him as “one of the richest and highest-profile figures on Wall Street.”

Black founded Apollo Global Management and built it into a fortress of leveraged buyouts and red-inked ruthlessness, thriving on debt the way sharks thrive on blood. Apollo Global Management is Wall Street’s iron-fisted answer to the old robber barons— a private-equity empire built on debt, discipline, and the dark art of buying distressed companies dirt cheap and then squeezing them until they squirt profits.

The son of a fur trader turned financier, Black is described as a man who never leaves the negotiating table, even at dinner. His friends once described him as “brilliant, volcanic, and obsessive” — the sort who could calculate a tax arbitrage in his head while glaring at a Picasso. When the Epstein scandal finally dragged him into public view in 2020, it revealed a financial figurehead both powerful and strangely captive: a billionaire titan, surrounded by masterpieces and money, yet mysteriously beholden to a convicted predator.

In late 2020, Apollo’s board was forced to hire an outside firm to investigate Black’s ties to Epstein. In January 2021, Dechert, LLP issued its whitewashing report, concluding that Black’s payments to the pedo trafficker were for “legitimate” financial services. But the damage was done, and a few months later, shareholders badgered Black into resigning as Chairman and CEO from the firm he founded.

This weekend it got even worse for Mr. Black. Much worse.

The Times portrayed Leon Black’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as a fusion of money, manipulation, and moral blindness— a partnership between a Wall Street colossus and a convicted predator that blurred every line between finance and servitude. The paper described Epstein not as a mere adviser but as a kind of malignant concierge who managed Black’s fortune, fixed his problems, and insulted him in the same breath.

Email Excerpt from Mr. Epstein to Mr. Black
Nov. 15, 2016
at least for a few weeks I am unable to commit much time and make any future plans to guide you in the redoing of your
procrastination produced mess.
That being said the tasks at hand are the following. You have a bomb of colored string that your retarded children have formed
It has to be very carefully unwound

In dozens of typo-strewn emails, Epstein demanded forty million dollars a year, scolded Black’s staff, mocked his children, and claimed to have saved him billions in taxes. Black, despite being one of the richest, most financially sophisticated, and meanest men on Wall Street, kept paying.

The Times also detailed how Epstein’s services extended far beyond spreadsheets. He advised Black on art transactions designed to dodge taxes, coached him through sexual-misconduct settlements, and brokered introductions to the global elite— from Bill Gates to Woody Allen.

By the end of it, Epstein had extracted roughly $170 million dollars, a fortune in and of itself that bankrolled the pedophile’s post-conviction comeback. The portrait is damning: a billionaire titan who thought he’d hired a financial genius, only to become the captive of a blackmailer with a Rolodex full of secrets.

The Times never used the word “blackmail,” but it might as well have left a trail of dollar bills leading straight to it.

Another woman said in a lawsuit
that Mr. Black had raped her at Mr. Epstein's Manhattan
townhouse. She eventually dropped the lawsuit.

The story (accurately) framed Epstein as a man with no legitimate expertise —a college dropout, not a tax attorney or CPA— who somehow convinced one of Wall Street’s savviest financiers to pay him $170 million or more.

They quoted Epstein’s own bullying emails— threatening to “stop work” unless paid, mocking Black’s children, and reminding him how much he “owed”— like a common payday loan shark demanding Black cough up his weekly vig. They highlighted Black’s inexplicable wire transfers to young women connected to Epstein, described hush-money negotiations over multiple sexual-assault claims from women in Epstein’s massage squad, and quoted Senator Ron Wyden (D-Or.), Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, who said the emails “raise questions as to whether there was more at play … potentially including blackmail.” And there it was.

Email Excerpt from Jeffrey Epstein to Leon Black
Nov. 2, 2015
I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments
with you I find it very distasteful. SO to be clear my terms
are as follows I will only work for the usual 40 million per
year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an
agreement 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months
ie march may june this can begin if i am able in January. I
will immediately stop work if the payment is not received.

Black —through his lawyers and PR consultants— vehemently denies all wrongdoing, and leans heavily on the Apollo management report finding that the money he paid post-conviction Epstein was proper for “financial services.” Black claims to have cut ties in 2017 or 2018 and fired Epstein because the “fees were excessive and disruptive.”

Epstein was arrested in July, 2019, at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, as he returned from Paris on his private jet. He was found dead in his cell a month later.

Two years ago, in 2023, Black also paid the U.S. Virgin Islands $62.5 million to settle its Epstein case against him. The USVI had alleged that Black “facilitated or enabled” Epstein’s sex trafficking in its territory. Now this.

The Times’ brutal exclusive was based on “previously unreported” emails and documents dated between 2015–2016, many of which were directed to Black’s personal assistant or other advisers. As we’ve seen with the other recent takedowns, the emails’ source was not revealed. But it’s not hard to imagine the source. Just ask yourself: who controls all the Epstein data? (House Republicans and the DOJ.)

The Times included documents clearly linked to the House Oversight investigation, like Black’s contribution to Epstein’s “Birthday Book.” So.







Over the years, Black played the political game as carefully as he picked takeover targets. He’s invested in both Democrats and Republicans, tilting slightly one way or the other as the political winds shifted direction. A 2020 Forbes article said he contributed to “leaders in both parties.” Since 2020, he has leaned toward the GOP.

I mention his politics because the far-left Times was the perfect place to leak intel damaging to a conservative-leaning billionaire. The Grey Lady has both the political motive to out Black, and she also has the means to weather the storm of private outrage that is sure to follow.

Leon chaired the New York City Museum of Modern Art (and was one of its largest donors). He endowed university programs, sat on vast numbers of chíc boards, and moved easily among trustees of major institutions. As an art devoteé and super-collector —he bought The Scream for $120 million— he was one of the art community’s favored darlings. Thanks to his bipartisan donation tendencies, Treasury secretaries, governors, and mayors all treated Black as a financial consigliere who could rally capital for public-private projects.

Black wasn’t just any old billionaire; he was a financial keystone in several elite ecosystems. That vast, interconnected political, social, and cultural network gave him what PR professionals call “soft immunity:” he was too well-connected to fail.

If Black collapsed, then a lot of other well-connected people’s oxes would get gored, too.

For example, if Black becomes publicly discredited, it will also stain the donor class that keeps a lord’s list of blue-chip institutions solvent. (Think Gagosian, Sotheby’s, Christie’s.) Trustees, gallerists, and museum directors hate that kind of radioactive money— it can force them to unwind decades of complicated financial entanglements.

Black’s reputation props up markets, museums, and even political relationships that all depend on the illusion of integrity. When a man who is that centralized loses legitimacy, the fallout scorches everyone in his radius— bankers, curators, donors, and politicians alike.

That, my friends, is exactly why taking down Epstein’s client list is so dreadfully difficult. Just imagine all the stakeholders lobbying behind the scenes to prevent this PR disaster. Exposing Epstein’s client list isn’t just a journalistic task; it’s a political, legal, and financial minefield, because so many of the people and institutions who orbit these billionaires like thousands of SpaceX satellites also have their own skin in the game.

The Times exposé was nothing short of seismic. It is a rhetorical missile strike deep at the heart of one of New York’s deepest aquifers of wealth and influence. It’s rare, almost unheard of, for the city’s flagship paper to turn its full investigative glare on the very social stratum that feeds its pages, funds its galas, and sits on the same museum boards as its editors.

Leon Black isn’t just some rogue trader; he is a load-bearing column in the cathedral of Manhattan money, underwriting the art world, propping up philanthropy, and serving as connective tissue between Wall Street, Washington, and the Upper East Side. For the Times to publish hundreds of words of raw correspondence showing Black’s nauseating, intensely private entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein —complete with threats, money, and unsubtle sexual undertones— was a journalistic act bordering on apostasy.

The Times wasn’t just reporting on a scandal; it was the opening act of an autopsy into its own ecosystem, performed in public.

Email Excerpt from Mr. Epstein to Mr. Black
March 20, 2016
To help out im keenly aware of your current cash position. SO
I will consider an in-kind payment real estate ( Miami ), art
financing of my new plane (allows you to spread over years
or of course the preferred cash.

Leon Black’s exposé arrives not as an isolated scandal but as the current American crescendo of a tightly sequenced international purge. Just weeks earlier, Bloomberg published a cache of previously unseen Epstein emails (also supplied by an anonymous source), a revelation that cost UK deep-state fixture Peter Mandelson his post at Lazard within forty-eight hours.

Within days after that, Prince Andrew’s long-dormant Epstein correspondence resurfaced in Britain, reigniting the royal’s disgrace and causing (so far) the loss of all his prestigious titles. British papers are chattering about the Palace considering banning Andrew from all Royal properties.

Now, like the next domino falling in sequence, the Times unloaded its anonymously supplied trove of Leon Black’s messages, implicating Wall Street’s upper sanctum. Three empires of influence — politics, royalty, and finance— all pierced by a single ghostly hand. The synchronicity feels less like coincidence and more like choreography, a coordinated leak-offensive designed to expose, in rapid succession, the hidden arteries through which Epstein’s contagion flowed.

What’s most unsettling —and brilliant— about the recent cadence of revelations is that it feels staged for maximum sustained impact, not the random chaos of one giant leak. A single document dump would have pleased Epstein watchers and generated shock and noise, but then burned out as the public struggled to absorb the sheer volume. This carefully sequenced detonation —Prince Andrew, Mandelson, Black, and whoever’s next— creates something far more lethal: an ordered narrative of inevitability.

Each exposé primes the next, tightening the sense that an unseen hand is methodically unspooling Epstein’s web one thread at a time.

The choreography serves a critical purpose. It keeps powerful people guessing who’ll be next to be crushed under the Epstein wheel and who is leaking. It signals intent: whoever is releasing these materials isn’t merely airing secrets, but is staging a reckoning. And it keeps the story alive in the headlines, day after day, week after week, instead of cratering into information overload. This is only going to hurt for a very long time.

Who knows? The next wave could out more billionaires or politicians or even target the institutional nodes rather than individuals— like the banks, foundations, and law firms that served as the connective tissue of Epstein’s operations. Nobody knows. By spacing out the leaks, the operators can calibrate each new revelation to dramatically land just as the previous story starts to cool, guaranteeing that the elite world Epstein exploited never recovers its balance.

The real weapon isn’t the disclosure— it’s the timing.

Finally, for those of you feeling frustrated by the absence of accountability among Epstein’s clients … how are you feeling now? You must admit that we are at least making a good start.

Andrew told Met to dig up dirt on Virginia Giuffre: Police launch probe as email reveals he procured private data for smear campaign

Prince Andrew embroiled the Metropolitan Police and one of Queen Elizabeth's most senior aides in a campaign to smear his teenage sex accuser, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

A bombshell email obtained by this newspaper exposes how Andrew asked his taxpayer-funded Met bodyguard to investigate Virginia Giuffre and passed him her date of birth and confidential social security number.

Interesting if the Met came back with "She has compromised a British prince."

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-15227281/Email-Epstein-used-Andrew-lure-Australian-PM-daughter-mansion.html

Convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein asked Prince Andrew to arrange a dinner with the attractive daughter of the former Australian prime minister, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

In an email dated February 16, 2011 – part of The Epstein Files currently being reviewed by the US Congress – Epstein wrote to Andrew saying: 'Would you ask Katherine Keating if she would like to come for dinner with Woody Allen next week in New York?' to which the prince replied: 'Will do.'

Two days later, on the eve of Andrew's 51st birthday, Epstein wrote: 'What will you do tomorrow? Sorry I cannot be there as you get older.'

Andrew responded: 'Having a very quiet day. But a dinner party in the evening. On the Keating case.'

Socialite Ms Keating, who was 29 at the time, is the daughter of Paul Keating, the Australian PM from 1991 to 1996 who was dubbed 'The Lizard of Oz' in 1992 when he placed his arm around Queen Elizabeth.

Ms Keating confirmed Andrew 'fixed' her 2011 dinner with Epstein.

Gonna start using this:

Someone sent me a link to a picture of Boris with a young woman, claiming that it was Ghislaine, but I'm sure it wasn't. Grok agrees:

There is no credible evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell was romantically or personally involved with Boris Johnson. However, Johnson and Maxwell were contemporaries at Oxford University in the 1980s, and Johnson’s sister, Rachel Johnson, has stated that Maxwell was a friend and that she once saw her resting her high-heeled boot on Johnson’s thigh while holding court in the Balliol College junior common room. This anecdote, however, does not imply a romantic relationship.

A widely circulated photograph falsely claiming to show Johnson with Maxwell actually depicts him with his first wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen, at a Sultans Ball in Oxford in March 1986, a year before their marriage.

Maureen Comey and the Epstein files. She worked extra hard to find Trump connections.

Two Democrat judges are holding the release back.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed prosecutors offered his freedom if he agreed to implicate Donald Trump: cellmate

Nov. 5, 2025

After his arrest on child sex-trafficking charges in July 2019, Epstein was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan — where he shared a cell with ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione, who was awaiting trial before being convicted on a quadruple-murder charge.

Tartaglione, 57, now claims that Epstein, who died a month after being arrested, told him prosecutors had offered to cut a deal if he’d snitch on President Trump, who was then in his first term.

“Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Esptein’s crimes he would walk free. in a petition to be pardoned,” Tartaglione claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by The Post.

“Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s],’ ” the filing states.

The papers don’t specify what crimes Trump would have been implicated in. At the time of his death, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes — from financial misdealing to money laundering and blackmail.

Comey, who acted as lead prosecutor in Tartaglione’s case, was fired by the Justice Department in July. Attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful, while the Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.

Tartaglione added in his petition that Epstein told him “President Trump was not involved in Epstein’s crimes.”

The two men shared a bunk until Epstein’s first suicide attempt on July 23, 2019, when he was discovered in his cell with bruising on his neck. He was then placed on suicide watch in a secure unit and given a different cellmate when he returned. ...

The Metropolitan Correctional Center jail, in downtown Manhattan, which was evacuated and demolished shortly after Epstein’s death. ...

Tartaglione claims there have been numerous attempts on his life since Epstein’s death, leaving him injured and with a metal plate in his head.

Damn, lots of sus activities here. Why was the prison torn down, and who is trying to kill Tartaglione?

Epstein files are forensically worthless at this point with so many sticky fingers from the Intels messing with them. They at best rise to manipulated hearsay.

Of course, Maurene Comey was the impresario of The Department of Fake Federal Trials For Intel Officers with central casting lawyers, judges etc. for public consumption. She's a chip off the sociopath dad's block.

New "Epstein List Camouflage". Best ever invented.

So, the Senate has come to a deal to end the shut down and are ready to pass their bill.

That means that the House must go into session to pass it, as well.. That Means Johnson must Swear in that new representative from Arizona. This triggers the number of required signatories for the release of all the Epstein files.

Somehow, someway something is gonna go Sideways.

This is the other big one.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/581

This resolution provides a special rule for consideration of H.R. 185 and amends that bill to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make publicly available certain records related to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.

Under H.R. 185, as amended by the resolution, DOJ must publicly disclose all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in its possession that relate to Epstein or Maxwell. The records include unclassified records referring or relating to Epstein's detention and death; flight logs of aircraft owned or used by Epstein; individuals named in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, civil settlements, or immunity or plea agreements; immunity deals, sealed settlements, or plea bargains of Epstein or his associates; entities with ties to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks; and internal Department of Justice communications concerning decisions to investigate or charge Epstein or his associates.

However, under the amended bill, DOJ may withhold or redact portions of records with written justification that such portions contain (1) victims' personally identifiable information; (2) child sexual abuse materials; (3) images of death, physical abuse, or injury; (4) information which would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution; or (5) classified information. DOJ may not withhold or redact records on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.

Further, within 15 days of completing the required disclosures, DOJ must provide Congress with a report listing all categories of records released and withheld, all redactions made and their legal basis, and all government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in the released materials.

I don't even like the withholding of the classified parts, because it's exactly those that are likely to implicate Mossad.

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein wrote in a 2011 email that Donald Trump had “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim of sex trafficking and said in a separate message years later that Trump “knew about the girls,” according to communications released Wednesday.

As always, the exact text is infinitely more important than any far-left extremist reporter's misinterpretation. Here they are:

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26223230/epstein-emails.pdf

Trump already admitted he had visited Epstein's house, and said he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago after Ghislaine poached at least one of his coat-check girls, so I don't see how this proves that Trump knew Epstein was abusing the girls on such a scale, or using them to collect blackmail. "knew about the girls" could be knowing that Ghislaine was poaching them.

There's even an old interview with Trump saying that Epstein liked girls "on the younger side". At most, you could say that Trump had a good idea that Epstein was violating the age of consent, but that doesn't prove any criminality on the part of Trump.

Democrats replaced "Guiffre" with "VICTIM".

Patrick says

Email was already released, unredacted. It's Guiffre



And Guiffre said... never saw Trump.

Father got her a job at the Mar-A-Lago. And of course, just like in previous encounters recorded by authorities (caught naked in a car with two older boys and weed years before), get herself in trouble by the fastest way.

LOL! Of course, one wonders if Trump has had time to 're-manufacture' the re-manufactured "Epstein Files" so they re-fuck the Dems instead of him. Illuminati Wars are interesting.

What's the betting pool odds that the current Epstein distraction is a Trump switcheroo set up? He knows how to play them so well.

Representative Thomas Massie’s long-pending Epstein petition gained the final vote it needed. CNN reported the result in a story headlined, “Johnson says House will vote next week on push to compel DOJ to release all of its Epstein files.”

Brave Thomas Massie will finally get his vote! On the record. And I’ll bet it passes overwhelmingly. In fact, key Trump allies and MAGA stalwarts have already signed Massie’s petition, including Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), and Lauren Boebert (R-Co.).

But let’s reel in our enthusiastic expectations. First of all, James Comer and the House Oversight Committee have already subpoenaed the DOJ’s Epstein file. So that is already ongoing. In fact, yesterday, Oversight released 20,000 new pages of documents obtained from the late sex offender’s estate. I think they’re closing in on having released 100,000 pages in total.

Second, the history of Congress “compelling” the DOJ to disclose stuff is, well, inconclusive. In 2011, Congress tried to compel the DOJ to turn over “Fast and Furious” files. The DOJ resisted, citing privilege and separation of powers. In 2019, Congress tried to compel the DOJ to turn over “Russiagate” documents related to the Mueller investigation. Same thing happened.

So … while Congress can vote for the DOJ to release stuff, it can’t really make the DOJ do anything. If they do, there will be a lot of political pressure, but don’t expect bankers’ boxes to start rolling up to the curb or anything.

Still. There’s a whiff of something different in the air this time. CNN’s article expressed surprise at Johnson’s agreement to hold the vote next week. He could have waited till next year, or at least for seven full days, depending on whose rule interpretation you prefer. But Speaker Johnson said let’s just get on with it: “It’s a totally pointless exercise. We might as well just do it. I mean, they have 218 signatures, that’s fine, we’ll do it.” ...

The Democrats’ smear attempt spectacularly backfired. When Epstein said, “the dog that hasn’t barked is trump … im 75% there,” he was speculating about being almost fully convinced Trump was cooperating against him with the Palm Beach County Sheriff. As it turned out, Epstein was right. It was Trump.

Virginia was the link. Epstein concluded that Trump was capitalizing on his previous relationship with Virginia— from when they knew each other at Mar-a-Lago. Epstein was suspicious because Trump had visited Virginia, but she failed to “mention” it. Epstein appears to have thought Trump was wearing a wire. (And maybe he was.)

Early in the day, running with the Democrats’ redacted version, corporate media tried to launch a political scud missile at Trump, but it prematurely exploded into infertile embarrassment when the House Oversight Committee promptly published the unredacted email, which provided the missing context.

Much more interesting were other newly disclosed emails showing anti-Trump reporters, like Michael Wolff (USA Today, Vanity Fair), coordinating Trump attacks with Epstein. Years after Epstein’s first conviction.

Or, just before Epstein’s second arrest in 2017, we see New York Times reporter Landon Thomas prompting the pedophile with a heads-up that a new investigation was underway...

In other words, here we have liberal reporters secretly conspiring with a notorious pedophile and sex-trafficker like close comrades. It’s almost like they never met a well-connected pedophile they didn’t instantly fall in love with.

Now let’s stitch yesterday’s Epstein news together and see what sort of mittens it makes.

When the House inevitably votes next week to compel the DOJ to release the full Epstein files, and assuming the DOJ fully or even partly complies (why not?) … then what?

Democrats are convinced the files are packed with dirt on President Trump. If so, Trump’s resistance to their release will have been the biggest political miscalculation of all time, since it made the interest in the Epstein materials swell to a fever pitch. If the documents were coming out anyway, he could have released the files on day one, back when Democrats couldn’t care less about Epstein.

Or there isn’t any dirt on Trump … but the files will still be ugly, for a lot of folks other than Trump, including some Republicans. But this way, with Democrats and Republicans voting together to compel the release of the files, Trump can’t be blamed, and Republicans can’t be blamed.

If some billionaire donor or Republican politician gets exposed for island-hopping, it won’t have been Trump’s fault.

We shall see. I’ll update you after next week’s vote.

Guess Dr. Strange Trump has had time to debug and rebug the Epstein files. He probably has them booby trapped for the booby trappers. Illuminati games are interesting.

I'm going to predict a big anticlimax. The worst thing will be a donor or two.

The Dems would have released it years ago under Biden if it hurt Trump or Trump donors badly.

If somebody wants to bang teenage girls, there's countless places in the world from Central to South America, to the Middle East (Dubai) to Asia. There's no reason to go to a tiny island, certainly not for rich people. It won't be much worse than Gaetz with a 17-year old he was Venmo'ing for "WAM!"

But, like other doc drops, if it's not damning of a party or not salacious enough: "They're holding back the Bombshells!!"

The most likely implication that those documents contain is the fact that there is a two tiered “justice” system in the USA, and that the authorities turned a blind eye to years of crimes by Epstein and some of his associates, and perhaps the deep state see eye aye used him to collect intelligence thereby tacitly approving his crimes.

Find self in hole, stop digging.

How about 'Love's Labour's Lost'?

https://slaynews.com/news/epstein-emails-hillary-clinton-secret-affair-vince-foster-shortly-before-committed-suicide/

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein’s email archive has detonated another political nuke in the form of a 2016 message in which the child predator appeared to allege that Hillary Clinton was engaged in an illicit affair with her husband’s former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster.

House Democrats released the trove this week, and among the communications is a May 25, 2016 email exchange between Epstein and disgraced author Michael Wolff. Wolff asked Epstein for a “thumb nail” summary on “Nussbaum/foster.”

Epstein replied with a cryptic line that directly raised eyebrows: “nussbaum white house counsel. . hillary doing naughties with vince.”

The message appears to reference Bernard Nussbaum, President Bill Clinton’s White House Counsel, and Vince Foster, who was found dead in 1993 under circumstances that have fueled controversy for more than 30 years.

Foster, a longtime Clinton confidant from Arkansas, died from a gunshot wound to the head on July 20, 1993, at Fort Marcy Park in Virginia.

Multiple official investigations ultimately ruled Foster’s death a “suicide.” ...

The inconsistencies were documented in investigative reports, media archives, and congressional records.

Among them:

• Minimal blood at the scene
Foster was shot in the mouth with a .38-caliber revolver, with the bullet exiting the back of his skull.

Experts have long pointed out that such an injury should have produced massive blood loss, skull fragments, and brain matter.

Instead, reports described only a small trickle from the mouth and nose and no significant pooling under his head, despite the body lying on an incline.

• Contradictions about the gun
Paramedics reported the body was in a different position than police photos.

The gun was found clutched unnaturally in Foster’s right hand with his thumb jammed inside the trigger guard, a position difficult to reconcile with recoil from a suicide shot.

No fingerprints were found on the weapon, not even Foster’s.

• The missing bullet
Investigators never recovered the bullet, adding to long-standing suspicion that the shooting may have occurred elsewhere.

• Undisclosed physical evidence
Reports noted blond hair and carpet fibers on Foster’s clothing and semen stains in his underwear, details that fueled additional speculation.

• Questionable investigative conduct
The Orlando Sentinel reported in 1994 that the Park Police “botched much of” the initial investigation, losing skull fragments, failing to locate the bullet, and underexposing an entire roll of crime-scene film.

When investigators later attempted to develop the film, it was unusable.

• Conflicting forensic findings
Fiske’s own pathologists later reported:

“The finding of the head facing forward and the right-sided blood stains are mutually exclusive.”

The pathologists’ findings suggest the body may have been moved.

• Damage from the White House response
One of the most controversial elements came the day after the death, when Nussbaum blocked FBI agents from searching Foster’s office.

According to reports, Nussbaum even ordered an agent to sit in a chair and “not rise from it again” while White House personnel went through Foster’s files.

Epstein Email Fuels Fire on the Eve of Renewed Public Scrutiny

The Epstein–Wolff exchange is certain to intensify long-running questions about the Clintons, as the message explicitly ties Hillary Clinton to Foster in a sexual context.

It’s an explosive allegation given the historical suspicion surrounding his death and the decades of controversy over the Clintons’ political operations.

The line “hillary doing naughties with vince” remains unexplained, and Wolff has not commented.

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/12/jeffrey-epstein-donald-trump-russia-emails-00648919

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump

Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russia’s top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.

“I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s longtime foreign minister.

In the email exchange, one of hundreds released Wednesday by congressional investigators, Epstein indicated he had previously talked about Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s forceful ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin died in 2017.

“Churkin was great,” Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, wrote. “He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.”

The exchange was among dozens that showcase Epstein’s extraordinary network of international associates, whom he often corresponded with about Trump’s first-term policy decisions.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the emails, but press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing Wednesday the broader set of emails “prove absolutely nothing other than President Trump did nothing wrong.” ...

In the emails, Jagland said he was meeting Lavrov’s assistant the following day and would suggest a connection with Epstein. It’s unclear if anything ever came of the proposed contact. ...

“Do the Russians have stuff on Trump? Today was appalling even by his standards,” wrote Larry Summers, the former Clinton administration Treasury secretary and Obama administration economic adviser, in an email to Epstein on July 16, 2018, the day of the Helsinki summit with Putin.

“My email is full with similar comments. wow,” Epstein replied the next day. “Im sure his view is that it went super well. he thinks he has charmed his adversary.. Admittedly he has no idea of the symbolism. He has no idea of most things.” He also called Trump’s handling of the summit with Putin “predictable.”

Summers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Days later, Epstein was flexing his overseas relationships in an email exchange with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, telling him in a July 23, 2018, message that Bannon needed to be physically present in Europe to wield influence on the continent. ...

Epstein often relied on his foreign contacts to learn about their views of Trump as he obsessively tracked the new president’s actions. And at other times, he simply showcased his deep connections around the world in emails with other associates.

“Can you belive MBS sent me a TENT carpets and all,” Epstein wrote to billionaire businessman Tom Pritzker in December 2016, referring to Mohammed bin Salman, who is now the Saudi crown prince.

“A tent? Hmmm…” Pritzker wrote back. “I think that is code for ‘I love you’. Or, maybe code for ‘go pound sand’. Better check your [Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] urban dictionary.”

Pritzker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A year before he reached out to Jagland for help with the Russians, Jagland asked Epstein to visit him in Strasbourg, France, so Epstein could help him “understand more about Trump and what’s going on in the American society.”

Wait, what?

Epstein was corresponding with Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Tom Pritzker, and MBS? That's the real news here.

All this stuff coming out demonstrates that Epstein was a mid level, malignant narcissistic pimp backed up with money by the Intels to do their dirty work, and whose self regard swoll beyond his native intelligence and capabilities. He's the standard model of a depraved useful idiot backed up by big guns, so he overestimated himself in every situation.

Jizzlaine was his handler, having come from a dynastic spy family. The rest of the family (and maybe even the unimprisoned Jizzlaine since the one in prison is a fake) are involved still with spy related AI and various Globalist technologic control grids and companies.

Jizzlaine wants to be 'pardoned' because she wants to roam free again without the fake prisoner appendage.

So, was this the point all along with all the 'Epstein Denials'? The files in the hands of the baleful black hat Intels were booby trapped and it's taken this long for Trump et alia to rebunk and decontaminate them? Trump has let the Coliseum bloodthirsty crowds rouse to a fever pitch thumbs down for a knockout punch? I guess we'll see.

Gonna be a few Dems fooked by this whole thing? You think they would have had the stratagems to know that this thing could come back on them like a tidal wave. They took the low hanging fruit of the Intel buggered files, as if they wouldn't be eventually vetted.

They are cognitive dissonating into increasingly unstable orbits.

Meanwhile, Trump is letting the toxic avengers gloat over his 'senilities and disabilities', LOL! It is a movie.
