Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

    Epstein was loaning and moving millions, maybe billions, of dollars. I can hardly pretend to understand what the game is like on that level.

    But first and foremost, Epstein was a financier. The money was top, girls second. And the girls were a source of pleasure and blackmail. Rinse and repeat. C-C-C-COMBO! Once you set foot in that tar pit, for whatever reason, you’re stuck.

    Gates, for all his flaws, never struck me as a kiddy fucker. Horny wasn’t his game. Ruthless domination of the IT world was his goal, and he got it. Does that make sense? And yes, I am well aware of his evil past. I started learning computers when he was a kid building Microsoft in the 80s. Read his unauthorized biography, tracked him on the news, worked his ecosystems, seen where he’s been, mostly. I get it.

    Guess I’m only saying, because he met Epstein, flew to his island, not automatically putting rape on his record. But again, I’d have a hard fucking time believing he didn’t know.
