Clinton, Democrats, the glitterati and convicted sex offender together on planes

By Kay B. Day

Former president and legendary bad boy Bill Clinton, along with select members of the glitterati like ill-tempered model Naomi Campbell, show up on flight logs for planes belonging to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

That shouldn’t surprise—Epstein has been an extremely generous Democrat donor. So naturally he attracts high profile Dems like Sandy Berger who snatched unknown documents from the National Archives as the 9/11 Commission got underway. President Barack Obama’s economic adviser and Clinton favorite Larry Summers boarded an Epstein jet as well said The Palm Beach Daily News.

Apparently the political and showbiz elite didn’t know what Epstein was up to in his spare time.

The Daily News said the flight logs are from 2003-2005.

The Palm Beach Post said Epstein was indicted in 2006.

Some people just aren't good judges of character, especially if they're judging a potentially generous donor.

When Epstein wasn’t catering to American royalty, he was allegedly molesting girls as young as 14.

Here’s part of what the victims’ attorney Brad Edwards wrote in his pleading:
“Epstein engaged in the act of trafficking minors across state or country borders for the purposes of sex or prostitution between 2000 and the present. ... Epstein used the fact that he had transported other minors across state and country borders for sexual purposes to help persuade Jane Doe to be sexually abused by him. Epstein also asked Jane Doe to bring other girls to him. Epstein committed the same sorts of acts against other minor girls…”

The Post reported, “Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter was furious with State Attorney Barry Krischer, saying in a May 2006 letter that the prosecutor should disqualify himself. ‘I continue to find your office's treatment of these cases highly unusual,’ he wrote. He then asked for and got a federal investigation. He did not return a call asking for comment.”

Krischer took the evidence against Epstein to a grand jury instead of “charging him directly.”

Krischer is a Democrat. One level of justice for Party elite and quite another for Main Street.

The Daily news said Epstein, who bought himself some high powered defense attorneys, did 13 months for soliciting a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution.
