Don't know. Is there any sort of evidence for that?

Maybe I'll have a quick look on X... :lol:

In all seriousness, Epstein was almost certainly a CIA/deep state operative. Links to Israeli secret service too iirc. I doubt if there is anyone of any importance he didn't try and hook up with. How successful that was is anyones guess.

Looks like we will get to find out though. It is one of Trump many promises to release the Epstein list. Promises which almost got him killed.
Well thats certainly one interpretation of the events and Trumps intentions.

So the number of women accusing Al Fayed of abusing them is upto 111, Private Eye and IIRC Vanity Fair reported on this years ago.
Theres been several people who enabled his behavior and there were complaints into the Met (who did fuckalll because, hell it was the Met) decades ago.
He's bang to rights. Private Eye says so.
They said so back in the 90s iirc. (In a recent issue they reprinted what they said then verbatim). It seems they were one of the few that would risk the backlash/lawsuits and actually print the story. As said ^^^ the people that should have been interested weren't, or were actively shutting the story down. There may be a few bandwagon jumpers currently but it's more interesting to ask why he wasn't put under any sort of pressure back then. (Or, if you want the spooky music version, why anyone should want to trash his reputation this late in the day. You may draw dotted lines to Dodi/Diana to illustrate any theories as you see fit).
