Jeffrey Epstein hung painting of Bill Clinton in drag in his home

[Polybius]

(JTA) — Jeffrey Epstein had an oil painting of former President Bill Clinton dressed in drag prominently displayed in his Manhattan townhouse.

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that the painting featured the former American leader lounging in a blue dress in the Oval Office. A blue dress played a prominent role in Clinton’s own sex scandal — his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The painting was identified as “Parsing Bill” by artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid.

Epstein, a Jewish financier, hanged himself in a New York jail over the weekend while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Clinton and Epstein had numerous contacts over the years, with the former president even riding on Epstein’s private plane on more than one occasion.

Don't look too deep into this. Perhaps he hung it up to mock Clinton because he refused his offers?

2. I suppose old Jeffrey thought he was being just adorable.

What a child. Oh, well.

3. And so many people just loved associating with this guy and trump

4. ....Weird but proves nothing.

The fact that he appears to be mocking him suggests they were not on buddy buddy terms and less likely to have conspired together.

13. Their source, as they clearly indicated, is the Daily Mail.

Which is a right-wing tabloid.

7. the rwnjs are lolololing at this as if clinton posed for the damn thing

it is certainly possible for a marginally skilled "artist" to paint something like that without a live model. probably a few similar in caves in the neander valle.

motive : Epstein mocking his friend? whatever? I would no more believe it than I would a photoshop.

10. This nonsense? On DU?

11. The Daily Mail isn't always the most accurate news source.

14. If this is real

sounds like he has contempt for Clinton. I truly believe Epstein’s first MO was to develop relationships to entrap people in blackmail for future purposes. I think some or most of the people in his little black book never took the bait. The answers aren't in his *published* little black book, but probably video tapes.

15. Notice the blue dress. I think he was being

sarcastic.

[TwilightZone]

16. Agreed.

Seems rather obvious, frankly.

[Blue Owl]

17. Well I guess that confirms Epstein had some shitty taste in art

18. I had heard this

but wasn't sure if I believed it or not.

19. So, this is just weird!

Can't comment since i don't know more...
