REPORT: Clinton-era FBI disregarded Jeffrey Epstein complaint

The trove of photos recently released from the Epstein files has generated new questions about the pedophile’s influence in our political world.

After a woman came forward about a complaint that was levied during the Clinton administration, even more questions are being asked.

The woman at issue claimed that she filed an Epstein-related complaint with the FBI in 1996, but it was never pursued.

Epstein and the Clintons

We all know that Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton had a friendship that was flourishing in the early 2000s, but how did that come about, and what exactly did Clinton know about Epstein’s activities?

During the 1992 election cycle, Epstein made two donations of $1,000 each to Clinton’s campaign. He followed that up with a donation of $10,000 to the White House Historical Association in 1993.

Things start to get rather interesting, however, after Clinton left office, with Epstein donating $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation in 2006, as well as donating more than $200,000 to Hillary’s Senate campaign and participating in a joint fundraising committee with the Democrat Party.

As we all know, Epstein had developed a reputation as someone who liked younger women, but it was not until the mid-2000s that he would be criminally charged for the first time. Even so, Bill Clinton traveled with Epstein repeatedly between 2002 and 2003.

The timeline

The first time Epstein was reportedly on the radar of authorities was in 2005, when an investigation was opened into his activities in Palm Beach, Florida.

The investigation was launched after the parents of a 14-year-old girl told police that Epstein had asked their daughter for a massage. Police then discovered that the billionaire's abusive scenarios often started with an initial request for a massage from young girls.

It was also noted that the complaints dated back to 2002, which is key for this report.

As it turns out, there was actually a complaint filed long before 2002, but it was allegedly dismissed by Bill Clinton’s FBI.

Vindicated

Maria Farmer just came forward after the release of Epstein-related materials to note a complaint she filed against the pedophile nearly three decades ago, and nearly a decade before police claimed his illegal activities started.

Farmer’s complaint was included in the first wave of documents released by the Department of Justice, and it accused Epstein of stealing photos of her younger sisters as well as making other threats against her.

Her complaint stated, "Epstein stole the photos and negatives and is believed to have sold the pictures to potential buyers. Epstein at one time requested [redacted] to take pictures of young girls at swimming pools. Epstein is now threatening [redacted] that if she tells anyone about the photos he will burn her house down."

According to Farmer, the FBI “chose to do absolutely nothing” with her complaint, which now opens the door to some fuel speculation between Clinton, Epstein, and the Democrat Party of a possible cover-up for a major donor. Farmer and her sister filed another suit against Epstein in 2019, in which they received a settlement. I just cannot help but wonder how deep Epstein’s influence went, and how many powerful politicians were covering for him. More importantly, if they were covering for him, why were they doing it?
