Former Clinton Treasury secretary remained in contact with Epstein amid controversy

Get ready for a flood of Jeffrey Epstein reports over the coming days because online sleuths are combing through the drips and drabs being released in order to find something, anything, on anyone.

Of course, the two biggest names under scrutiny right now are those of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

The former and current president are both prime targets for their opposing parties, and they are each taking some big hits right now.

On the plane

It is no secret that Clinton repeatedly flew on Epstein’s airplane, but where did he go?

Flight logs showed that Clinton was on the infamous plane a total of 17 times.

It is important to note that Clinton did not fly with Epstein until after he had left office.

What raised a lot of speculation that something might be shady here is that on two of the flights at issue, the logs did not indicate that Clinton’s Secret Service detail was aboard, as had been noted on other trips.

The island

Videos have emerged, speculated by some to be AI-generated, of Clinton on Epstein’s private island, but the billionaire himself once wrote that the former president never visited him there.

In one email, he wrote, “[T]hese stories are complete ant utter fantasy,,  I don’t know and have never met Al gore, CLinton was never on the island..  the telephone book is not mine, it was stolen by my houseman that is currently in prison for doing so.”

Even so, House Oversight chair James Comer (R-KY) stated, “Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee.”

The Clintons were, at one point, slated to come in to talk to the committee, but the request was later rescinded.

Staying in touch

Now, another Clinton insider has been linked to Epstein, that being former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who exchanged notes with Epstein for years after Clinton left office, as well as for some time after Epstein was convicted the first time around.

In one email, Summers is telling Epstein about an interaction he had with an unnamed woman, writing, "We talked on phone. Then ‘I can't talk later’. Dint (sic) think I can talk tomorrow". I said what are you up to. She said ‘I'm busy’. I said awfully coy u are. And then I said. Did u really rearrange the weekend we were going to be together because guy number 3 was coming’ She said no his schedule changed after we changed our plans. I said ok I got to go call me when u feel like it. Tone was not of good feeling. I dint want to be in a gift giving competition while being the friend without benefits."

In another exchange, Epstein discusses Trump, writing, "I have met some very bad people ,, none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body.. so yes- dangerous."

I don’t want to jump to any conclusions with regard to the out-of-context release of these emails, which is why I think the administration just needs to bite the bullet and release them all, unredacted. Otherwise, they will be selectively presented by the media and portrayed in a way that makes Trump look as bad as possible.
