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.

    When you feel invincible you tend to test that invulnerability. We should feel lucky they aren’t hunting us for sport just to prove they can.

      … as far as we know. Victims of pedophilia often survive and could at least theoretically tell about the crimes. Dead people don’t.

      Who knows how many people who “fell through the cracks” of society were picked up and hunted for sports? I don’t think anyone would start a manhunt if some homeless people disappear.

      I would NOT be surprised if billionaires would do this.

        This is basically the story of “eyes wide shut” Which has a whole conspiracy around it that Stanley Kubrick made it as his last film to out the elites.

          I never saw that film and always found the title confusing, but it makes a lot more sense after reading your comment. Thanks for that.
