Fucking coward. Being concerned that your family might have problems is not an excuse for associating with someone like that. You're a big fucking boy bill, pull your britches up, accept you did an infidelity, and don't associate with child sex traffickers.
Gates hired Jake Greenberg, who was the oversight panel's chief investigative official until December, to help him prepare for the appearance, the New York Times reported on Tuesday. A committee spokesperson told Reuters the panel has not worked with Greenberg since his departure.
How is this allowed
Hey, so I spent the past few months preparing that big investigation into that one scandal of yours, but now that I've made a career change can I interest you in some interview prep?
Money.
Gates also testified that he never witnessed any criminal conduct from Epstein. He accused Epstein of blackmailing him over his extramarital affairs.
Behold, Homo Billionaries
"never witnessed criminal conduct from Epstein" my ass... blackmail is criminal conduct.

Yeah, Mr Mossad was getting blackmail on the American elite so they would do their bidding.
The subtext is that the Epstein ring was a compromat factory.
We already knew that though.
At this rate we will discover at some time in 2027 that Epstein is dead.
They're slow walking this. Classic Trump legal strategy.
He's not going to face justice. Its sickening that he's lied, stolen, and raped kids and others his whole life and been promoted to King of the world as the result, but thats just how it is.
At least after he's dead he will become the distraction for who ever replaces him, so his legacy will be torn to shreds.
People are shitting on Gates and that's appropriate and all, but the subtext here is really important. Epstein and his circle went after powerful people through blackmail and the influence extends really far. And there's a person sitting at the head of the White House who's name appears a fuckton of times in the Epstein files. The whole thing needs to be blown wide open and there's obviously a lot of people in powerful positions who don't want that to happen because things about them will get out.
Yesterday's NYT expose of the Epstein panic in the White House last summer mentions that the name Mar-a-Lago appears in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.
That's a hell of a lot of orange smoke for a tiny little nothing-to-see-here fire.
We already know the subtext though. That's the thing the entire pizza gate saga was essentially a fake version of what's been happening since at least the 1960s with Israeli intelligence.
Epstein, like his many bosses and colleagues still operating, helped traffic children, matched powerful people with children (sometimes adults), all to ensure their absolute loyalty to whatever group is actually in charge of both the CIA and Israeli intelligence agencies.
If you're not with them, you're against them, so they'll either make sure you stay with them, or they'll just kill you (JFK).
That’s the thing the entire pizza gate saga was essentially a fake version of what’s been happening since at least the 1960s with Israeli intelligence.
It's not unique to the Israelis.
Also, it'd be really interesting to look more deeply into the origins of the Pizzagate allegations, to see if (as I suspect) the originators had Epstein links. It's a common tactic to poison media coverage of a potential scandal by spreading a false but similar story that can be discounted, then conflating the now-dismissed fake story with the real one.
I'm willing to bet pizzagate was also real, and ALL of them are degenerates.
Qanon was a diversion to deflect the Trump Epstein network's activities onto everyone else, particularly political opponents.
The stories I've read of Donald Ewen Cameron blackmailing people in mk ultra are similar.

Huh. Would you look at that.
The more I read about this Epstein guy the more I think he was a jolly bad egg.
Take my upvote for a Norm MacDonald inspired joke.

LOL at taking 7 words to say "blackmail"
Oh, another Epstein "victim".
Fuck you, Bill. Epstein never forced a billionaire into anything, they all walked into the trap willingly.
I'm not saying Gates was a "victim", but it seems silly to ignore the role blackmail played in Epstein's operations.
Multiple things can be true at once. He was a victim of blackmail because he was guilty of whatever the fuck was going on at pedo island.
I think a lot of people were pressured into participating at pedo Island because of existing blackmail, which generated more powerful blackmail. Using blackmail leverage to create more blackmail leverage is like blackmail 101.
Correct - but he should still be held accountable for things like fucking children even if he did so under the threat of some other embarrassing info going public.
Blackmail only works when the one being blackmailed digs their own grave with a pattern of failing to do what they should do every step of the way.
Oh I never said he shouldn't be held accountable. I'm just saying there was almost certainly a pipeline of small steps to being fully implicated. There were definitely people who got involved with Epstein because he was a power broker that had his fingers in a lot of pies, and by the time they were past the point of no return it was too late.
Not saying that's the case with Gates, but it's important to recognize that part.

You're absolutely right, but I think some of us are worried about losing sight of how he managed to rule via blackmail: he blackmailed incredibly shitty people who did incredibly shitty things. Epstein was a monster of a human whose own proclivities will haunt most of our nightmares for the rest of our lives, but we shouldn't forget that he didn't coerce the people he blackmailed. Sure, he enabled and catered to them, but these people already had their own horrifying habits that they thought (probably correctly) they were rich or powerful enough to practice with impunity.
I know you already said that you're not calling Gates a victim. But also, focusing too hard on a (made up) quote like "Epstein blackmailed me into 90% of the crimes I committed," runs the risk of a large portion of the population forgetting that 10% of those crimes were catered by requesting using resources from other people Epstein blackmailed because they also wanted to do some shit that was so fucked up that only someone like Epstein could make it happen quickly, quietly, and conveniently.
Excellent comment.

Just to be clear this is not Trump testifing under oath. Not Epstein. Not Maxwell.
Yep only people who don't fall in line with the current regime. Fuck Gates and I'm glad to see any of these monster prosecuted but there are bigger fish they should've started with.
Gates is a piece of shit and I’m glad the ghoul is getting put to the coals but a lot of republicans see him as one of the biggest villains in the context of Epstein, this is to placate them and nothing more, I honestly hope he’s still got the guile he used in the 90s and sells everyone else out once he knows he’s fucked.
Yes we know, and their ages?
Plea for sympathy: Denied.
So we now have clear evidence this is what everybody with a brain thought it was. All that's left is to apply that reasoning to the dog that hasn't barked.
Edit: and we're all aware of how well Maxwell is being treated?
