A couple of weeks ago when we asserted that the walls were closing in on Reid Hoffman‘s and Microsoft‘s ability to keep him on the tech giant‘s board of directors, due to (among other things) the LinkedIn co-founder’s Trump Derangement Syndrome and evasions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, we challenged his claim that he was “cleared” of wrongdoing by the FBI. We wrote, “As anyone who has ever reported on the FBI or federal law enforcement knows, clearing people is not what the Justice Department does,” as former U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said in the past.
That has now been further confirmed, earlier this week, by current Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in an interview with podcaster Katie Miller (wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller). Blanche has been the public-facing point man regarding the release of the “Epstein files” by the Justice Department. During the conversation, Miller initiated a line of questioning about Epstein’s island visitors:
Miller: “Is there evidence Reid Hoffman went to the [Epstein] island?”
Blanche: “Yes, I believe so, yes. I believe he’s admitted that he went to the island.”
Miller: “Is there documentation that shows underage women were also present at the island?”
Blanche: “At the same time as any of those guys? Not that I’m aware of.”
Miller: “Would you say that [Hoffman, (Bill) Gates, and (Bill) Clinton] are absolved of any wrongdoing and that DOJ has closed the case on this matter?”
Blanche: “No, no, no. Listen, when it comes to the trafficking of underage women, there’s no statute of limitation. So this case is never CLOSED.”
As nearly all the legacy media likes to include in their reports on the Epstein files, “being named in the documents does not necessarily mean the individuals committed a crime” or “did anything wrong.” To date, NLPC has mostly emphasized that when it comes to his relationship with Epstein, Hoffman has mostly tried to distract or downplay the nature of his engagements with him — claiming, for example, it was only in the context of “fundraising,” mainly for MIT’s Media Lab. The records released by the Justice Department weeks ago have shown that to be another Hoffman deception.
As for Blanche’s response as to whether underage women were on Epstein’s island “at the same time as any of those guys” — including Hoffman — the Deputy AG’s lack of awareness is irrelevant, as it’s likely he wouldn’t have immediate reason to know whether there were or weren’t.
The pertinent fact is that Epstein had attractive young women — often more than one — with him for much of his waking hours. On the island. On his airplanes. At his New York townhouse. At his New Mexico ranch.
As a recent CNN report revealed, visitors to the island — like Google co-founder Sergey Brin — should have been deeply suspicious of what they observed about the presence of victims on the island:
“The activities were so obvious and bold that anyone spending any significant time at one of Epstein’s residences would have clearly been aware of what was going on,” one victim stated in a court document…
“They observed that we did not speak and that we remained mute,” the victim, whose name is not included in the public document, wrote in the statement. “They witnessed the trauma on our faces and in our eyes. Sergey and Anne [Wojcicki, Brin’s wife at the time] witnessed our souls and bodies riddled with fear. They said nothing. They did nothing.”
The FBI hasn’t cleared Hoffman of any wrongdoing. Based on testimonies like those recounted by CNN, and since the House Oversight Committee has asked the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and others, about their Epstein connections, why hasn’t Hoffman been hauled in and asked about what he saw and what he knew?
