I try to stay skeptical about conspiracy theories, but I have yet to see an explanation for why this guy had so much money and connections. To talk about "science" and "money markets"? At Bill Clinton's request? None of that makes sense to me.

Who? Epstein? He had the billions and nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. Sell some girls here and there to the wealthy, lock in a little blackmail, you could be rich and powerful too!

Well he made serious money by being Les Wexner’s financial consultant and secret boyfriend. So he had access to Wexner’s funds. He’s a successful conman, it’s one of the reasons Trump liked him so much.

Rich powerful man once met another rich powerful man. Give me some more, no meat on this bone.

This looks bad for Mandelson and Clinton but there’s not really incriminating about Blair. They met at Downing Street for 30 minutes at Mandelson’s recommendation and talked about politics.

Yeah the question should be, why did Mandelson suggest it.

Yes, because any prior or further meetings would be fully documented

So that's why Trump put him on his Gaza peace board

So he met Epstein and is currently receiving big money from top Friends Of the IDF donor Larry Ellison to rule Gaza?
