The biggest name in Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book back in 2003 was a past president rather than a future one.

        Raping kids, trafficing minors, and for single crime that pig did. That answer your dumb question?

          Is there concrete evidence? Let’s not erode due process any more than is already happening.

            There is a mountain of evidence including testimony under oath from many of the victims as well as Maxwell. Bondi also warned him that he appears repeatedly throughout the papers. You are welcome to look any of it up. 🦭

              Then they should be arrested on that evidence, not just for being a name on a list.

                  “Arrest every single one of them…”

                  You need more evidence to arrest someone as an accomplice to child rape and sex trafficking than that they sent a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein before his first arrest. There are 50 people on the list, including Epstein’s family members.

                  Why does every thread on pedophiles have to go off the rails because people think if the crime is heinous enough, you just round up everyone without reasonable cause or probable suspicion?

              Keep in mind that the list is of people who wrote birthday letters to Epstein, including his family members, and that the commenter’s suggestion was that they all be arrested.

                Yeah it’s totally just a benign letter. That’s why he’s suing a newspaper for revealing it. Totally benign…

            There is a bunch of knee-jerk voting happening in this comment thread. You’re currently at 6 downvotes and I’m at 8 for suggesting birthday well wishes are not evidence of pedophilia.

            Edit: not evidence

    Very deliberate first line. As it’s written, it implies that Donald Trump’s name isn’t in the book. The reference in the tagline wasn’t even necessary. These companies know most people stick to the tagline and don’t read the whole article.

      I think you just misread it. It implies that Trump was in it but not the biggest name. Aren’t you more concerned they didn’t name Trump, so you might think it was Obama or Biden?

      The WSJ is the one that broke the story of Trump’s letter - 10 days ago! Why break a story you’re trying to hide?

        Trump was in it but not the biggest name

        I’ve seen his signature. It’s always the biggest.

    I can’t believe Leon Black was palling around with Epstein before he started living in Larry David’s house.

    Since I had to look him up anyway:

    “Leon David Black (born July 31, 1951) is an American private equity investor. He is the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which he co-founded in 1990 with Marc Rowan and Josh Harris. Black was the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art from 2018 to 2021. Black resigned from both Apollo Global Management and the Museum of Modern Art in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations and revelations that he had paid $158 million to Jeffrey Epstein.”
