The MAGA architect is escaping opprobrium for his chummy relationship with the notorious pedophile.
ALL OF WHICH RAISES A QUESTION: Why has there been no similar accountability for another of Epstein’s pen pals—Steve Bannon?
Trump’s consigliere, strategist, propagandist, and former senior counselor at the White House was on very friendly terms with Jeffrey Epstein. He exchanged hundreds of emails with the convicted felon and conspired to whitewash his public image.
Do you have friends who can send a private jet to retrieve you when your flight has been delayed? Epstein apparently did that for Bannon in 2018. On a trip to Great Britain, Bannon was greeted by protests. He emailed Epstein: “Protesters slowed down speech don’t think I can make the flight we r enroute to heathrow.” Epstein replied that he could fix it: “There. Is a gulf air that leaves at 950 with a stop in Bahrain.” Bannon was appreciative, joking that “U r an amazing assistant.” Keeping up the theme, Epstein emailed a few days later asking how it feels “to have the most highly paid travel agent in history.” Bannon responded “U r pretty good asst.” Epstein in turn replied “Massages. Not Included.” Yes, you read that correctly.
Bannon and Epstein talked politics quite a bit. Epstein quizzed Bannon about whether British Prime Minister Theresa May could survive. Bannon wrote back: “I don’t see how BUT the guys over here have no balls. . . . Boris; Gove; Rees Mogg; David Davis - somebody has to step up.” They also swapped theories about other European nations—though the identity is not always clear in their cryptic communications. In 2018, for example, Epstein emailed Bannon “Spoke to [the] country leader we discussed… I leave Wednesday, back Friday. We should lay out a strategy plan when I’m back. Travel safe.” And referring to a Bannon journey apparently to Abu Dhabi, Epstein wrote: “I’ll make sure you’re well looked after.” Responding to Bannon’s ambitions to extend the MAGA movement to Europe, Epstein advised: “If you are going to play here, you’ll have to spend time, Europe by remote doesn’t work. Lots and lots of face time and hand holding.” A few hours later he added “I am unaware of your playbook. however, whatever is good for you – Im in.”
