Bill Gates Is Very, Very, Very Sorry He Inadvertently Consorted With a Convicted Child Trafficker and Banged Russian "Dates" Procured by Jeffrey Epstein
UPDATE: President and CEO of the WEF Resigns Over Epstein Ties
You wouldn't believe how sorry he is about the "mistake" he made in becoming BFFs with a guy who just got convicted of soliciting a 14-year-old girl.
It's a real Oopsie Moment, all right, and he promises he'll #DoBetter now that Epstein is dead.
One of two Russian women Bill Gates admits having affairs with during his 27-year marriage was helped financially by Jeffrey Epstein -- who used the sordid secret to try to blackmail the billionaire Microsoft co-founder.
Gates tries to portray these women as, I josh you not, a "nuclear physicist" and a "bridge player."
But they were kept women, paid for by Jeffrey Epstein. I think the "nuclear physicist" was chiefly concerned with splitting the Nut Atom. (To borrow a joke from Empire of Jeff, I think.)
Gates' surprising mea culpa Tuesday was a questionable attempt to cleanse his image over his friendship with Epstein, which ex-wife Melinda French Gates largely blames for destroying their marriage.
"I did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player ... and one with a Russian nuclear physicist," the billionaire told staff at a town hall for his Gates Foundation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Gates admitted the affairs while maintaining that he did nothing "illicit" with his now-dead pedophile pal.
However, rumors of the fling with the bridge player, Mila Antonova, first emerged over her own ties to Epstein -- ones featured heavily in damning exchanges in the Epstein files.
Antonova was also an acquaintance of notorious Kremlin spy Anna Chapman, with a photo capturing them strolling near Wall Street before Chapman, the daughter of a former KGB officer, was booted out of the country.
Gates was 53 when he was first pictured with Antonova, who was in her 20s, at a national bridge event in Washington, DC...
However, one of Gates' main advisers and confidants, Boris Nikolic, introduced her to Epstein in 2013 -- when he'd already convicted of child-sex offenses -- as she sought help getting money to start an online business to teach people how to play bridge.
Epstein also paid Antonova so she could attend a programming camp as part of helping her pursue a career in software development, she told the Wall Street Journal in 2023, when she had initially refused to confirm the affair with Gates.
This sounds like he was paying money so that she could develop interests that could help her get close to Gates.
"Epstein agreed to pay, and he paid directly to the school," she explained at the time. "Nothing was exchanged. I don't know why he did that. When I asked, he said something like he was wealthy and wanted to help people when he could."
However, he appeared to have a far more sinister motive -- and try to force Gates to pay him that money and more under the threat of exposing his cheating to his then-wife.
A Gates spokesperson previously claimed that Epstein "tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates."
In a July 2017 email released by the Department of Justice, Epstein also made a string of allegations against Gates, branding his one-time friend "so cheap" for the way he'd treated his mistress.
"After I sent her that note she said she had little money, couldn't afford air conditioner, was living on a friends couch. Really needed money. I sent her some," he emailed Boris Nikolic.
"Your friend Bill is nuts," Epstein continued in the typo-filled rage. "His former girl. Can't afford air con. Can't afford to travel to bridge.The richest man in the world is so cheap, his former bridge girl and toy, lives on a friends sofa."
...
Gates, meanwhile, has repeatedly expressed regret at his involvement with the late pedophile, and insisted he had no involvement in any of his wrongdoings.
"I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit," Gates said in the town hall meeting Tuesday, according to the WSJ. "To be clear, I never spent any time with the victims, the women around him."
We'll see. Why would you purposely develop a friendship with a man just convicted of soliciting an underage girl, if not for a shared interest?
Do these billionaires just donate to left-wing causes like environmentalism so they have an excuse to ditch their wives, attend conferences, and score some Russian kept woman mish?
Answer: Mostly.
In some minor Epstein news, Epstein blamed then-Prince Charles for
former Prince Andrew being stripped of his trade envoy job. Which he allegedly used to deliver UK state secrets to the pedophile financier.
Jeffrey Epstein blamed "Charles" on the day Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost his UK trade envoy job.
On 21 July 2011, the day it was announced that the former prince would step down from the role, Epstein wrote: "I assume he knows that this is Charles doing."
Finally, Bill and Hillary Clinton will
finally be questioned about their contacts with the known and notorious pedophile and whoremonger.
They will, as usual, blend perjury with strategic obfuscation.
It depends on what the definition of "underage" is.
House members are eyeing a new phase in their monthslong investigation into Jeffrey Epstein: A race to produce results that match the stunning Epstein fallout across the globe and satisfy an electorate clamoring for accountability.
This week's interviews of Bill and Hillary Clinton -- who are scheduled to testify to lawmakers under subpoena and behind closed doors about their relationships with Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell -- could be a pivotal moment in this effort.
Bill Clinton has maintained that he was an acquaintance of Epstein's but stopped communicating with him at least a decade before his arrest in 2019, and he has not been accused of wrongdoing.
His spokesperson Angel Ureña posted on social media in 2019 that the former president traveled on Epstein's plane four times internationally in 2002 and 2003, but that Secret Service details were present "on every leg of the trip." Hillary Clinton has said she has no memory of meeting Epstein at all. A spokesperson for the Clintons did not respond to a request for comment.
But the Clintons' depositions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee come as the recent arrests in Britain of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, and ex-ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson, have only intensified the pressure on Congress to produce similarly dramatic impacts closer to home.
That means both Clintons will be put under a microscope for any potential transgression, whether it relates to the late financier's sex trafficking conviction or not.
"Obviously, the committee wants to see some people be held accountable," said Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) in an interview in advance of the high-profile depositions. The former president will testify Friday, and the former secretary of state Thursday, both in Chappaqua, New York.
Roughly 19 committee members are expected to be on hand for the depositions, and Comer said he suspected questions to focus on what interactions the couple had with Epstein -- in the White House or elsewhere.
"I think what you're seeing in Britain is, the charges against Prince Andrew and the former ambassador weren't sex-related crimes. They were more with respect to treason and selling secrets and things like that," he explained. "We were just fascinated how Epstein was able to surround himself with so many high-profile government figures, not just in the United States, but in other countries, so I think there will be a lot of questions."
Good afternoon!
Update: Like I said, these people just arrange left-wing conferences to pork prostitutes.
Update: Boy, Epstein must have been a
fantastic dinner guest to earn so many high-profile dining partners.
Brende has acknowledged he dined with Epstein three times between 2018 and 2019 and communicated with him by email and text, but said he was "completely unaware" of his past criminal activity.
