He did this interview with an investigative reporter who says Epstein was recruited by the CIA through Bill Barr. Recall Epstein worked for Barr's dad early on. A real deadbeat. Then became a millionaire, traveling in their circles.

Epstein and Ghislane worked for Russian and Isreali intelligence.

Ghislaine's father was Robert Maxwell.

Maxwell also worked for Israeli intelligence and died mysteriously.

Quite an interview! True historical perspective!

The spy novels are prolly based on his life!

GB suspected him of being a triple agent! Israel, USSR/Russia, and US.

The character Cooper plays becomes a financial genius and earns millions because of his mathematical skills, aided by a mysterious pill.

Well, it was reported last week that Epstein had tremendous computing skills, was hired to teach because of it and got noticed and given a shot at Bear Sterns where he earned millions.

He leverage even more somehow, I don't know, thru blackmail, video evidence, whatever, and eventually his predilections for young girls led him to what he became.

As for him being an agent, could be, who really knows? It sure didn't help him...nobody covered for him. Barr may have had him taken out to make sure the info he had on trump never came out.
