I thought I’d build on this thread re 45 non-Russia shadiness to document some of the things I’ve pulled together recently.

The actual Michael Wolff "Fire and Fury" quote is that 45, Jeffrey Epstein & Barrack were the “nightlife Musketeers” back in the day

Before I get into Tom Barrack, some recent news on "reviled billionaire pedophile" Jeffrey Epstein. Interestingly, looks like Steve Bannon met with Epstein last Wednesday.

pagesix.com/2018/08/11/ste…

Back 2 Tom Barrack, chairman of the inaugural committee that raised $107M & no one knows where the $ went. He has a history w/ controversial bailouts. Post Weinstein scandal, he was 2 bail out W’s co. but deal canceled. Also bailed out MJs Neverland Ranch goo.gl/T6Cw6C

Barrack introed George Nader–the guy w/ the Saudi/UAE ties-2 the 45 campaign. Nader, a cooperating witness in Mueller probe, is a convicted pedophile –in Czech Republic of 10 cases of sexually abusing young boys & in Virginia of possession of child porn goo.gl/dFRUUh

Other 45 connxns to pedos? This year, 45’s KY chair Timothy Nolan was sentenced to 20 years – he pleaded guilty to human trafficking of adults, promoting human trafficking of minors and unlawful transaction with minors goo.gl/LBdZkQ

45’s Oklahoma campaign chair, Ralph Shortey, pled guilty to child sex trafficking last year

45 biz associates: Tevfik Ariv & Alexander Mashkevich (Trump SoHo). Turkey accused them of human trafficking after found aboard a boat w/ 9 young women (2 were 16) Mashkevich not charged; Ariv charged but was acquitted when the women refused to testify. goo.gl/V9w9Qz

Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell. As @20committee noted, during the 2016 election RG write 4 op-eds going 2 bat 4 Moldova's Vlad Plahotniuc - per INTERPOL, a human trafficker. Moldova's main industry is selling young women, often children 2 traffickers.

Another 45 administration official: Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. Jeffrey Epstein came up during his confirmation hearing since he approved a controversial sweetheart plea deal for Epstein.
goo.gl/EN1uis

Epstein's legal team included Trump defender Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz helped negotiate the sweetheart deal approved by Acosta which provided immunity from federal prosecution not only to Epstein, but also to “any potential co-conspirators of Epstein” goo.gl/k2G1qn

A 2014 civil rights action re the sex trafficking of minors alleged Epstein forced Jane Doe #3 to have sex w/ Dershowitz while a minor & that he witnessed abuse. Thus AD negotiated an agreement that provided protection 4 himself agnst criminal prosecution goo.gl/VNx8UW

Epstein's house is near Mar-a-Lago. Virginia Giuffre alleged she was pulled in2 years of abuse by Epstein when working as a 15 y/o towel girl at Mar-a-Lago. She accused Epstein gf Ghislaine Maxwell of procuring underage girls for him. That suit settled before trial in 2017.

45 on Epstein: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy..He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life." goo.gl/H2FMkv

In July, BBC aired a documentary w/ new accusers like Barbara Pilling who said 45 hit on her when she was 17 after her modeling agency sent her 2 one of the parties he threw, typically almost exclusively models (young as 14/15) & a few older wealthy men
goo.gl/WCR25C

The BBC accusations gibe with this report: 45 would “go from room to room,” ...“I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine..” The men often knew each other. “They exchanged info, facilitated each other"
goo.gl/1oA4Hb

The child rape suit mysteriously dismissed on eve of the election also gibes. Jane Doe says as a 13 y/o she was enticed 2 attend parties at Epstein's home w/ promise of $ & modeling jobs. Complaint attached a witness statement: Epstein's party recruiter
goo.gl/T8QUwo

Tiffany Doe, Epstein’s “party planner” from 1991-2000, says her duties were “to get attractive adolescent women to attend these parties”
"I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Trump and Epstein. Both..were advised that she was 13.."

Jane Doe: Trump said I shouldn’t ever say anything if I didn’t want to disappear like Maria, a 12-year-old that was forced to be involved in the third incident with Trump & that I had not seen since & that he was capable of having my whole family killed. goo.gl/wZHhVk

In Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against Epstein, she alleged he kept her as his “sex slave.” In Jill Harth's 1997 suit against Trump, she alleged that Trump demanded that she become his sex slave. gawker.com/report-woman-w…

Jill Harth's (now ex-)husband George partnered with 45 on the American Dream Festival, “an event-oriented affair that includes a ‘Calendar Girl’ competition, whereby young, often vulnerable female contestants compete for prizes and titles.”

Harth alleged Trump groped her, violated her “physical and mental integrity” & engaged in “Svengali-type acts to control and subjugate” her to his “will with demeaning and perverted communications” demanding that she become his sex slave. The allegations continued:

These allegations bring to mind the sex trafficking and forced labor charges brought earlier this year against sex cult Nxivm. Interestingly, "Roger Stone was previously one of several powerful political players on the payroll of NXIVM..." goo.gl/Db3hNj

Roger Stone is connected to Nxivm - the sex cult allegedly financed by the Bronfman sisters, the heirs to the Seagram fortune. Clare Bronfman was charged in the Nxivm sex-trafficking case.
goo.gl/qVUbZH

Fun fact: Edgar Bronfman Jr is the half-brother of Clare Bronfman & appears in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book

Nxivm isn't the only interesting recent case. "A husband-and-wife pimp team orchestrated a high-end prostitution ring through a website called Russian Dolls." Arrested in July at their FL home in Trump Towers where they ran their enterprise remotely

goo.gl/w6SsZ1

As per @LincolnsBible, notice the RU nationals originated in Brighton Beach then landed in Trump Towers in Sunny Isles, FL. Russian mob started in Brighton Beach & then to FL. goo.gl/dxBRqS

Another interesting case - that looks like a plea deal(?) - is this one - a "Miami escort service owner pleaded guilty today to filing a false tax return" Dennis Zarudny’s escort service marketed as a “prestigious escort agency"
goo.gl/28gKxg

Zarudny pled in April 2018. In July SDNY announced arrest of 2 Parkland, FL guys 4 money laundering in connection w/ their operation of Flawless Escorts, a nationwide business offering prostitution services. goo.gl/wzEWk3

Here's where it gets really crazy.
VC Michael GOGUEN (pictured in linked article w/ Marla Maples) sued in 2016 by a woman alleging she was brought to US by human traffickers & sold as a dancer 2 a strip club where she met Goguen who kept her as a sex slave
goo.gl/2vhB6m

In 7/16 Goguen filed a defamation suit against a MO Republican gubernatorial candidate who referred to Goguen as “the owner of a teenage sex slave” Goguen donated $1M to his opponent Eric GREITENS. (Greitens won & resigned amid sexual assault allegations)
goo.gl/YqQhGz

The Goguen case was set for trial in 5/17 & I haven't yet found any reports on its disposition. But "Goguen spends much of his free time in the quiet town of Whitefish, Montana and is an active philanthropist." (Whitefish as in Ryan Zinke's home town) goo.gl/wnJSsD

Here's the crazy part. What Whitefish philanthropist "reportedly helped save dozens of victims during" the 10/17 Las Vegas mass shooting? Michael Goguen. 4 a guy in need of reputation rehabilitation, how convenient to be there, survive & be hailed a hero.
goo.gl/DK2ib1

Reposting since this fell off the thread. BBC accusations gibe with this report: “I was there to party myself. It was guys with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine..” The men often knew each other, “exchanged info, facilitated each other" goo.gl/vCN8cj

Simona Mangiante - George Papadoulos' wife - was introduced to Mifsud as an attorney specialising in child abduction cases. She did work for the European Parliament on that issue & was eventually fired by the mediator for cases of Int’l Child Abduction

goo.gl/jFKUjj

She purportedly did work for APB World Group – a shady org known for recovering internationally abducted children. They sent this letter of complaint upon hearing of her firing. Per @ScottMStedman some things in this letter don't check out

goo.gl/p1FPHB

Complaint re Eric Kalmus of ABP:
"..we discovered that Erick Kalmus had created and hosted atleast two pay pornographic web site's that also would take the visitor to other site's hosteing child pornography!"
