Massie names billionaire in Epstein's little black book

Rep. Massie dropped a bomb: Billionaire John Paulson, top GOP donor, bankroller of the Speaker, and Trump’s campaign, is in Epstein’s black book.

This is why they’re terrified of a full release.
The truth won’t just expose Epstein.
It will expose the powerful who enabled him.

End snip.

Bankroller of psuedochristian MAGAt Mike and the 🍊 🐔 💩 🤡 💣 murderer.

[marble falls]

1. Warm up the indictment pad. Time for a Federal Grand Jury.

[johnnyfins]

26. And how will that happen? Pam Bondi's DOJ?

[GB_RN]

31. Statute Of Limitations...

Has run out on that. Federal SoL is 5 years for most crimes, if I’m not mistaken. Had it been murder, it would be another story.

[cpamomfromtexas]

70. Statute of limitations was already up on pedophile

“Preacher” robert morris, the Gateway church pedophile who sa’d a 12 year old in Texas and Oklahoma over 30 years ago. He’s being charged in Okiahoma under a law that said if you committed a crime and then left the state the statute of limitations isn’t suspended.

I wonder if other states where these crimes occurred have similar laws?

[GB_RN]

77. Oh, Yeah.

Might vary a bit from state to state as to how long for the same crime, but I’m pretty sure that regardless of federal or state, the only crime that SoL (no pun intended) doesn’t apply to, is murder.

The alleged reason behind SoL is because evidence disappears, chain of evidence can be compromised, and the biggy? Memories. Why? Because we know they change over time. Memory is definitively, inherently fallible.

And that’s ironic because we give eyewitness testimony the highest level of credibility, but it is the absolute least reliable form of evidence: every time you recall an event, your brain actually changes the memory a bit. Think of it like a digital file: lots of 0s and 1s making up that data. Your computer might, unintentionally, accidentally write a 1 where a 0 should have been. Now, that write error might not be fatal for the file, but add up enough transcription errors, and your data are shot.

[Faux pas]

2. GO MASSIE!

[SSJVegeta]

35. Agreed. Protect that man. Trump has already hinted at trying to murder him

[C_U_L8R]

3. Drip, drip, drip

Trump's pedophile posse is gonna wish they'd just released the whole thing at once long ago.
Tick, tick, tick

25. "PedoPosse".... nt

4. Maybe the 'trickle-down effect' will work here. 🤔

[mobeau69]

5. As Massie said, it was already public. Good to say it though. The news is Massey actually said it. Apparently, at

least one goober has a line he won’t cross.

[lostnfound]

15. Billionaire Paulson donated to an anti-Massie PAC, along with Paul Singer

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/07/31/congress/maga-ky-super-pac-donors-00487931
Launched by Trump because Massie voted against the ‘big beautiful billshit’.

GOP megadonor Paul Singer was the largest donor to a super PAC seeking to oust Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) last month, according to a filing submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Thursday.

The group, MAGA KY, raised $2 million between its launch in late June and the end of the month:
$1 million from Singer
$250,000 from hedge fund manager John Paulson
$750,000 from Preserve America PAC, a super PAC tied to Miriam Adelson that backed President Donald Trump last year

6. Time to lawyer up perv boy

[SheltieLover]

7. Kick

[mikenash54]

8. Im wishing and hoping

But wont be surprise if it amounts to nothing.

[usedtobedemgurl]

51. Yeah, being in someone's contact list does not automatically make them a pedo.

Now, if the victims spoke out and said he was, that could amount to something.

[radical noodle]

57. True, there are many people who were friendly with Epstein

and likely didn't even know what he was up to. Still, someone who tries so hard to cover it up may well have something to feel guilty about.

[usedtobedemgurl]

80. Of course.

I believe there is a high likelihood he is guilty, but we have to deal with the facts we know. Does he look guilty? Sure. Do I think he is guilty? Absolutely. Do I want us to have better reading skills than Magats? Absolutely.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Let the chips and the chumps fall where they may.

[MLWR]

10. All very interesting, but I have a feeling

that in most jurisdictions, the statute of limitations will attach. However, everyone of these pedos should be shamed out of existence.

[Ilsa]

17. I think it's all about shaming and ostracizing them now.

I believe the statute of limitations ran out long ago. But I suppose some of them have families or spouses to answer to, or maybe they seek to protect a religious leadership position.

[usedtobedemgurl]

52. I thought i heard on the news, yesterday,

The sol has not run out for the victims. I mean, it was not long ago Epstein was convicted as well as his sidekick, who is still in jail.

[brakester]

79. Biden signed a bill in 2022.

Biden signs bill eliminating civil statute of limitations for child sex abuse victims

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3647958-biden-signs-bill-eliminating-civil-statute-of-limitations-for-child-sex-abuse-victims/

As in everything, the devil is in the details:

AI Overview
There is no single statute of limitations on child molestation in the U.S.; the time limit depends on the state and whether the case is civil or criminal, with many states eliminating or significantly extending them due to laws enacted in recent years. For civil cases, the new federal Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act eliminated civil statutes of limitations for claims of child sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking, and many states have also passed similar laws allowing claims at any time. In criminal cases, federal law has no statute of limitations for child pornography offenses, and many states have removed or extended criminal statutes of limitations for child sex crimes, though specific timelines can still vary by state.

[GreenWave]

81. No wonder so many pervs came out to vote for Trump.

[bluestarone]

11. KICK a thousand

KICKS!!!!

[ToxMarz]

12. So he gave up information that we already had

and now he's a brave truthsayer. He didn't do shit, just a distraction to appear like he's on the right side of justice and and placate his critics without pissing off his overlord(s).

[FakeNoose]

14. There were at least 10 different versions of Epstein's "little black book"

Last edited Fri Sep 5, 2025, 10:56 AM - Edit history (1)

He must have made books and lost them all over Manhattan. I don't know, and I could care less.
This was before the days of cellphones and those little pocket-sized phone books were everywhere.
For all we know, maybe John Paulson never knew that Epstein had his phone number.
Having someone's phone number doesn't mean he supplied illegal escorts to them.

[Wiz Imp]

62. Epstein had both home and work numbers for Paulson in his black book.

[FakeNoose]

74. Maybe Epstein was laundering money for Paulson

I have no idea whether he did or not. But he didn't get extremely wealthy by being a casual pimp either.

[ancianita]

16. Can't find a thing about Paulson that's controversial, except his bitter divorce battle after 21 yrs of marriage.

Last edited Thu Sep 4, 2025, 09:33 PM - Edit history (1)

And the fact that he donated and helped Trump fundraise. Looked across lots of business and other sources. I missed the Politico piece. So yeah, it seems that he's tight with the right wing donor class.
I can't figure why they invest in toadies. It's as if they'd be poor if a Koch network didn't operate a move-fast-and-break-things insurgency on the government in order to protect them.

from a quick survey...

Paulson has been a major fundraiser for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.[29][30] On April 6, 2024, the Trump campaign self-reported a $50.5 million fundraising haul at John Paulson's Palm Beach house.[31] Trump reportedly considered Paulson to become Secretary of the Treasury, but Scott Bessent was chosen instead.[32]

Wealth and philanthropy
Between 2009 and 2011 Paulson made several charitable donations, including
$15 million to the Center for Responsible Lending,
$20 million to New York University Stern School of Business (auditorium now named after Paulson; also where Barron was last seen attending class)
$5 million to the Southampton Hospital on Long Island,
$15 million to build a children's hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and
£2.5 million to the London School of Economics for the John A. Paulson Chair in European Political Economy.[33][34][35]

In October 2012, Paulson donated $100 million to the Central Park Conservancy, the nonprofit organization that maintains New York City's Central Park. At the time of the donation, the gift represented the largest monetary donation in the history of New York City's park system.[36]
In June 2015, Paulson donated
$400 million to Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), the largest gift received in the university's history. Following the donation, the engineering school was renamed the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.[37][38]
The next month, he gifted
$8.5 million to New York City's largest charter school organization, Success Academy, to change public education and open up middle schools in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn and in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan.[39]

In 2022, New York University announced that Paulson had donated $100 million towards the cost of a new building in its Washington Square Campus. The building was named the John A. Paulson Center in recognition of the gift. [40]

In 2024, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem awarded Paulson an honorary doctorate in recognition of his extensive philanthropic contributions to Israeli cultural and educational institutions.
His support for Israeli initiatives includes a
$27 million commitment to establish the Paulson Bar-El Building for Computer Science and Engineering at Hebrew University.
Paulson also contributed significantly to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2021 to celebrate the museum's 90th anniversary and has supported the Jerusalem Campus for the Arts.[41]

[SSJVegeta]

19. There are going to be many many more.

The billionaires very well might be going down

[ancianita]

20. They're not terrified because they're not elected and not trump and won't be charged by

this doj and they'll still be rich and unless the victims actually name them as perpetrators, there's no known jurisdiction that can begin investigations of these crimes.

But one can dream, right?

[SSJVegeta]

24. There will be unwanted attention on them nonetheless

It will crash their stock, hurt their company's and associates' reputation and potentially even turn them into the worst possible thing imaginable to them: Millionaires.

These scandals alone can lose these people billions of dollars. Theres a reason they spend billions to buy the politicians who protect them. But even not all politicians can be bought.

[ancianita]

27. Probably all that. But

without knowing who they donate to at election time (and believe me, theirs is dark money) just how is all this really going to help us win the next two cycles?

I mean, this epsteinepsteinepstein has to get out the Democratic vote so we win, right?
Then what do we do while we're cleaning up epic amounts of legislative, judicial branches and agencies of government, not to mention all the economic and social damage?
Who will be the AG to do get all that done legally? Kamala Harris? Marc Elias?

Our winning will have to be because of all of the above. If we win the next four battles through 2028,
the 2029 America rebuild back better will have to be of biblical proportions.

[SSJVegeta]

38. Im not so worried about winning the next election

As I am having the next election.

This issue if (yes "if" ) it continues down this path -and it appears to nearly be a runaway train, will be so damaging politically (and to the billionaires who will absolutely lose billions of dollars from the PR damage alone) that there will no longer be any support for Trump within his party -as so much of it has been manufactured and kept standing on the flimsy toothpick pillars of billionaire greed. .

[rampartd]

58. rebuilding this debacle is the project of generations.

our institutions must be strengthened and made more flexible, and every cockroach from mara lago eliminated.

[vanlassie]

40. And how will they show their face at church anymore?

[SSJVegeta]

41. Believe me. We havent seen anything yet.

Just wait.

[SSJVegeta]

18. Massie has instantly earned my respect

Protect that man, as they say

[ancianita]

28. Seriously? He couldn't get the discharge votes.

Is this guy...

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-massie-epstein-files-0c4b49ed

...the same guy who was touted by the Federalist Society?

https://fedsoc.org/contributors/thomas-massie

Is one issue all that's needed to be that easily impressed? Ever heard of the broken clock analogy?

[SSJVegeta]

29. If one issue is going to completely destroy the billionaires and Trump, then yes.

Also the discharge petition will pass by October specifically because of Masssie, Mace, Boebert and MTG. Because in October there will be two more Dems in congress. Im sensing those four individuals are having a very stark metamorphosis into what the world they conceive actually is -and truly appear to be putting human beings over power.

This Epstein list won't just destroy Trump, it may cripple the ironclad hold that billionaires have had for decades on both parties.

[ancianita]

34. IF. It's the biggest hypothetical little word in the world.

"...it may cripple the ironclad hold?" I hope you're right. I don't want to be cynical, since we fight the good fights, but in the interests of being practical, know that the Koch network of right wing billionaires and dark money are winning. Which party the rest of billionaires (a rather elite club, imo) choose to help win depends on whether those other billionaires' idea of America involves democracy.

Sure, we outnumber them. I'll be watching the polls and the election vote counts, like everyone else.

[SSJVegeta]

36. We are dangerously and meticulously close to not ever having an election again

It is those four misfits that could, strangely enough, keep that from happening.

[Tommy Carcetti]

43. Nope. Fuck that guy.

I can respect a Republican who manages to do right despite my fundamental disagreements with him or her on various issues or principles.

McCain and Romney, for example. Adam Kinzinger. Liz Cheney, despite my disdain for her father.

But those are/were real, legitimate politicians.

Massie's a clown. MTG is a clown. James O'Keefe is a clown.

I'm not going to be fooled into thinking those people are in any way our allies.

[SSJVegeta]

54. The GOP you named said words. They were all talk no action

Nance Mace praised trump, called him a victim and then took an action that simultaneously can destroy him and their donors. Actions very clearly speak louder than words.

[womanofthehills]

83. Massie is one of the few Congress people who will not accept AIPAC money

I like him for that and for voting against bombs for genocide. MTG is also making the rounds speaking up against genocide. Both of them are appealing to young Republicans who are more anti war. Trump hates Massie.

[DET]

21. Figures

Paulson is a hedge fund manager who made billions from the 2008 financial crisis.

But not trump?

[Karasu]

32. John Paulson being on it was already known. Just not to the majority of the public until now.

[usedtobedemgurl]

50. I did not hear him say trump was not in the Epstein phone book.

That is where Paulson's name came from in this context. Not flight manifests or victims. It is from Epstein's personal contact book.

There are at least 14 different numbers for Donald Trump listed in the book (and that has been widely reported in the bast).

[ancianita]

69. It doesn't mean that. What he says is just one name of all those others he COULD name.

He's giving one name just to show he knows who's on the list, that's all.

[Iwasthere]

33. Put the names that survivors compile in a hat

53. This. Play hardball.

37. Does this just mean hist contact information was held by Epstein or does it link to sexual abuse?

[Bayard]

39. How did Massie come by this info?

I think I remember reading a bunch of names from it in the news. Massive says it is public in that interview snippet.

71. I see recognizable names:

Taking one for the team by looking through these....
Alec Baldwin
Mike Bloomberg
Mr & Mrs Jimmy Buffet
Phil Collins
Minnie Driver
Duchess of York
Duke of York
Ralph Fiennes
Mick Jagger
Dr. Henry Kissinger
Christopher Lambert
Rupert Murdoch
Joan Rivers
Maria Shriver
Kevin Spacey
Ivana and Ivanka Trump
Barbara Walters
Dr. Ruth Westheimer
Lots of Maxwells, a few Kennedys

I'm thinking some of these have been inserted, like some Soro's
I see plenty of couples and women
The former PM of Israel being escorted by Secret Service on Epstein's plane???
Notably absent: Donald trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew

[Kaleva]

72. The Duke of York is Prince Andrew

[Wiz Imp]

76. Donald Trump is on there on numbered page 85

14 different phone numbers are listed under his name

Bill Clinton isn't listed, but there is a listing for Doug Bands and immediately under his name it says "Office of Bill Clinton"

There is a listing for Duke of York (Prince Andrew is the Duke of York)

None of these have been "inserted". This is a verified actual copy of Epstein's black book. If a person is listed here that means Epstein legitimately had them on his contact list for some reason. Just because they were on the contact list means nothing other than they had contact with him at some point. I would guess the vast majority of people on the list did nothing wrong and did not know of Eptein's proclivites.

Epstein's connection to Ehud Barak has long been known.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/ehud-barak-met-with-jeffrey-epstein-dozens-of-times-flew-on-private-plane-report/

Ehud Barak met with Jeffrey Epstein dozens of times, flew on private plane — report
Former prime minister Ehud Barak met with the late disgraced financier and child sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein dozens of times beginning in 2013, according to a new report on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.

Barak was among the list of Jewish names — including pioneering linguist and left-wing activist Noam Chomsky, longtime Bard College president Leon Botstein, and filmmaker Woody Allen — listed in a newly uncovered private calendar for Epstein, the WSJ reported in the first part of its investigative series on the hugely influential Jewish donor who used his largesse to obscure what investigators uncovered years ago as an elaborate underage sex trafficking ring.

Epstein met with thousands of people over his career and the presence of their names does not itself indicate any evidence of misdeeds.

According to the WSJ’s Wednesday report on the calendar’s contents, Barak visited Epstein about 30 times between 2013 and 2017 at his estates in Florida and New York, including a time in 2014 when the former Israeli premier flew with Epstein on his private aircraft from Palm Beach to Tampa, after which Epstein went on to New York. Barak said his wife and an Israeli security guard were also on that flight. He said he flew with Epstein on his private plans on one other occasion, also with his wife and guards.

Oh. And RFK Jr is on the contact list.

[Bayard]

86. How did I miss that?

Thanks, and for additional info.

[wolfie001]

42. Finally! A brave Republican!

I'm 65, and I'd never seen one. Since Raygun, they've ALL been cowards and spineless weasels (including Raygun). Without exception.

47. Speaker johnson's (r) republicon sugar daddy?

How peculiar....

and unsurprising

[usedtobedemgurl]

48. He did not implicate Paulsen

At least not in my mind. He never says Paulsen is a pedo. He says Paulsen MAY be implicated or embarrassed to be mentioned in the little black book. That, to me, is not accusing someone of what that person probably did.

[sop]

55. I suspect a lot of men in corporate mass media board rooms are also in Epstein's Black Book.

Could be why the story has been so poorly reported.

[Emile]

56. If Trump wants to fight crime, he should have this

child rapist arrested.

[Ocelot II]

59. Follow the money. The men named in Epstein's various lists might or might not have been

schoolgirl-diddling pedophiles, but they are likely the sources of much of Epstein's money, since he cultivated wealthy people to participate in his investment schemes, some of which involved sex trafficking and money-laundering - and there were Russian connections. What Trump is trying so hard to cover up and protect is the money pot and the financing of the trafficking as well as the sexual abuse - which he taped for blackmail purposes. Either Trump didn't know his name appeared so frequently in the files or that he was tied to Epstein's dodgy financial transactions, or else he thought they'd never actually be released in full, so he promised to release them to satisfy the MAGA horde, which assumed only child raping Democrats' names appeared. When, after Bondi ordered the FBI to look for his name, he found out who and what was really in the files he changed his mind. But now he's in a corner because the harder he fights to prevent their release the guiltier he looks. Most people seem to assume he's trying to conceal his sexual acts, and that's probably part of it, but I think what he's really trying to hide is his involvement in Epstein's international sex trafficking operation. Trump loves nothing more than money; he doesn't care how he gets it, and he'll have wanted a piece of that action. My theory, anyhow, for what it's worth.

[IronLionZion]

60. John Paulson has been backing Trump since his first 2016 campaign

He sold the Doral resort to Trump

[Wiz Imp]

66. At the Press Conference, the one person explicitly named was Lex Wexner

Both the lawyers and the victims mentioned him and he is known to have been a source of money to Epstein. Tehy seemed to be be explicitly saying the DOJ needs to investigate Wexner.

Wexner is listed in Epstein's book under 4 different addresses (London, Aspen Colorado, & New Albany & Columbu Ohio). I counted 63 different phone numbers under LES WEXNER listings. There is also a listing under WEXNER - FLIGHT DEPT in Columbus Ohio with 4 more phone numbers. Plus a listing for ABIGAIL WEXNER PLANTATION (she's Les Wexner's wife) in Albany Georgia with 4 more numbers.

73. I don't think any of this is about prosecution, at this point, it's about outing pedophiles...

Rapists and other criminals who are bankrolling what's happening to this country. It's about making people aware of how these men get away with this stuff, and the women/girls are blamed.

I don't care who's names are in the files. Democrat, Republican, whatever. Put it out in public and let the chips fall where they may. It's time we stopped allowing this shit to ruin people's lives.

[EndlessWire]

84. I agree.

It's not about punishment. It's about following the threads and seeing exactly who did what. We need to know how dirty we are, and if other countries are involved. But mostly, it's about the truth, and breaking the back of this insane Trump cult. What do we want? We want Trump gone before he utterly destroys our Democracy. When do we want him gone? Last year.

Let anyone who is in the files defend themselves. Let's try to keep Maxwell in prison. And let's try to find out definitively whether Epstein killed himself or was murdered. And, we could offer ptsd treatment for the victims. But, I don't think we can get even on this one. Let's settle for discrediting the Orange Pedophile, and cracking the ring wide open. Make them answer publicly.
