*Trump is on the witness list in a lawsuit stemming from billionaire ephebophiliac, Jeffrey Epstein*





There was once a time — before the investigations, before the sexual abuse conviction — when rich and famous men loved to hang around with Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire money manager who loved to party.

They visited his mansion in Palm Beach, Fla. They flew on his jet to join him at his private estate on the Caribbean island of Little Saint James. They even joked about his taste in younger women.

President Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy” back in 2002, saying that “he’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Now, Trump is on the witness list in a Florida court battle over how federal prosecutors handled allegations that Epstein, 64, sexually abused more than 40 minor girls, most of them between the ages of 13 and 17. The lawsuit questions why Trump’s nominee for labor secretary, former Miami U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, whose Senate confirmation hearing began Wednesday morning, cut a non-prosecution deal with Epstein a decade ago rather than pursuing a federal indictment that Acosta’s staff had advocated.

Cant remember the time frame for those trips that included who knows what party tricks.. Possibly before heart complications, making him straighten up a bit.

turned up a photo with Geffen and others including Paul McCarney.

Dasha Zhuskova is the wife of the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and she sat next to Ivanka at a tennis open and showed up at the Inaugural.

There are no Russian billionaires who exist without approval of Putin.

When you are a millionaire/billionaire, it seems people go along to get along so as not to upset the lucrative apple carts.

I was pointing out the manner in which he was inserted into the conversation. Laughable at best. Do you think Clinton might be on the witness list like the other poster? In this particular instance, why would he be?

It was extremely transparent.
