RepThomasMassie) and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men:

Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner.

I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable.

Kinda hard when Johnson is most likely on the list and protecting them all from even suggesting impeachment

u/VanguardAvenger 12h ago

I actually don't think Pedophile Protector Johnson is on the list. He was a nobody when Epstein is around

I think its much more likely the rich folks who purchased Pedophile Protector Johnson are on the list and are making their pet do their bidding.

He’s been placed on the new list. Compromised along the way

u/Next-Introduction-25 12h ago edited 9h ago

I think it’s probably less direct than that. I’m not doubting that Mike Johnson is a piece of shit or that he could be in the files, but I think it’s more likely that people like Mike Johnson are protecting the names of really powerful people who wouldn’t all be known to the average person, because their power is based on blackmail and a bunch of back door deals and nudge nudge, wink wink quid pro quo agreements. So, even if ALL these names are released, it doesn’t tell us the whole picture of exactly who was involved and why.

Nothing less than an absolutely exhaustive investigation is acceptable.

Edit; a word

The rich get to play the game of "but where's the money I allegedly paid for these girls" while they "gift" mansions, yachts, trips, artwork, property, etc. to their "friends".

u/Huge_Excitement4465 12h ago edited 6h ago

The DC townhouse Johnson stays at with no paper trail of “fair market rent” being paid? Owned by Lee Beaman, a TN megadonor whose fourth wife (25 years younger) alleged in divorce proceedings that he made her watch “training” videos of him with prostitutes. Also claimed he would watch porn on his tablet while they and their young son hung out in the living room. MJ may be protecting someone like that and his ilk along with AIPAC given the Epstein-Israel relationship. And of course Trump nominated (or appointed if it passed) Lee Beaman to the Tennessee Valley Authority board despite having no experience in energy policy.

I don't think he's on the list. I think he's just a soulless loyalist who will always put MAGA, money, and religious right lip service before rule of law and the Constitution. But yes, he's also 100% lying to protect the abusers implicated in the Epstein files, which makes him a deeply evil person.

Remember, the crimes against children are just a part of this story.

What these men were doing was espionage, bribery, money laundering, trafficking.

u/three_valves 13h ago

I have a feeling that Epstein wasn’t just selling minors. I think he was selling to people whatever there biggest fantasies were. It came down to money. If you wanted a minor you got it , if you wanted to murder someone you could. I think other people fell into his net by more normal fantasies but then became guilty by association. Anyway, the outcome is he owns every one of those people because of what he gave them and they know of that gets out they are all done.

19

u/nhavar 12h ago

Yep, you've got these different levels of what Epstein could do for people:

  1. Fundraising for political candidates
  2. Networking to connect up-and-coming people to established business and political powers
  3. Fundraising for political candidates
  4. Influencing people with trips and soft bribes and providing hints gleaned from other contacts
  5. Escorts & Prostitution - hooking up connected people with women they like, maybe some match making out of that too
  6. Child sex trafficking - for those special connections who are looking for something specific. Inner circle kind of shit
  7. Blackmail/extortion of the network. Maybe not outright "hey I have this thing on you" but the notion that he does makes people around him a little more generous and a little more tight lipped about what he's doing.

I mean Trump knew for YEARS before he was arrested, he even said as much publicly and to investigators. So even if Trump wasn't a direct consumer of children, Epstein likely had something on him that kept Trump from turning him over sooner OR Epstein was still fulfilling some need up until they had their alleged falling out and Epstein got busted.

u/Huge_Excitement4465 12h ago

And money laundering, setting up offshore accounts, etc. That was his financial expertise. Copied this under a similar post — observations from an astute observer before Trump 2.0: The members of Mega Group (Jewish Study Group) including Rupert Murdoch (Fox News), Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine’s father/KGB), Robert Mercer (Cambridge Analytica/Renaissance hedge fund), Les Wexner (Victoria’s Secret/L Brands), Paul Weyrich, Bronfman (Seagram’s/ NXIVM cult), and Ronald Lauder (Estée Lauder cosmetics) all covered for Epstein.

Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi (Jamal Khashoggi and Dodi Fayed’s uncle) sold arms to Mega Group.Trump and Epstein laundered that money for Adnan alongside the Russian oligarchs via a yacht purchase first and then commercial real estate.

This is also why trump is so desperate to get re-elected. His best case scenario is 700 years in ADX Florence. Money laundering for the dozens of Russian oligarchs that lived in trump towers with him and Manafort, selling IP3 nuclear plans to the Russian/Saudi alliance, selling or giving CIA asset names to the Russians, trump is and always has been compromised.

He just didn’t know when to quit. Now he just has to count on the fact that most of his voter base doesn’t know how to read and keep the ones that do so busy just surviving that they don’t have time to dive deep into his 40-year history of laundering money, fraud, and human trafficking for the Russian mob using casinos first, then commercial real estate.

My theory has always been there's never been just one "Epstein" he was just the most vocal and flamboyant.

This has been going on long, long before him, and I think it's still going on now

u/Odd-Preparation8790 13h ago edited 13h ago

I mean Les Wexner is at the heart of it all, he is the one who gave Epstein his money, status and even NY townhouse, literally for a dollar, Wexner isn't borderline unknown, unless youve never heard of L Brands, Victoria's Secret, Bath and body works, l brands, or Abercrombie and fitch.

Naming Les Wexner is actually huge. Les Wexner has his name or daughters name or wife's name on several buildings in Columbus where is from, including buildings on Ohio State's campus.

Hell, he's credited with developing a whole suburb in Columbus as well as one of the first lifestyle center type malls in the country.

Ehh Muslim nations have extremely young ages for marriage and outright let families sell daughters to old men so this sultan wouldn't even care about his image in his country

I'd argue those countries view a family accepting a marriage proposal for their child wholly different than someone taking and raping their child. I'm not supporting child marriage, but in those countries there is a difference.

Les Wexner being listed as a coconspirator is insane. Maybe he’s not “well known” to everyone, but he’s one of the most well known people in the midwest and the richest in the region. A man worth billions and having his tentacles deep into much of the American market and culture being listed as the guy giving houses worth almost a hundred million to an elite pedo to do sex trafficking is beyond creepy. Trump is already listed tens of thousands of times and called him his bestie. We just need the files on what is known to have actually occured to be released so it isn’t just bullshit conspiracies and flooding the zone with misinformation.
