Epstein built ties to Russians and sought to meet Putin, files show

[Zorro]

Justice Department files show that Jeffrey Epstein sought help from a Russian official after claiming a woman from Moscow was blackmailing “powerful businessmen” in New York.

Senior Russian officials and business figures, including a former graduate of Russia’s Federal Security Services Academy, cultivated relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a trove of documents newly released by the Justice Department, expanding the scope of international contacts by the late financier and convicted sex offender.

The documents reveal that several high-profile Russians met and corresponded directly with Epstein, and that Epstein made repeated efforts over multiple years to arrange a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. They also include evidence that Epstein enlisted a former leader of a pro-Kremlin youth movement who was once awarded a medal by Putin to help improve his public image.

In response to the disclosures, Poland opened an inquiry into possible links between Epstein and Russian intelligence services, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Tuesday.

The Kremlin dismissed the move, with a spokesperson saying that the allegations of ties between Epstein and Russian intelligence “deserve nothing but jokes” and did not merit serious comment.

1. If he was an asset, why was he begging to meet Putin?

He had full access to leaders and inner circles from other countries...

2. Somehow I don't think Vlad needed a pimp.

He's always had his own people for that, and they'd get flying lessons out a fifth floor window if any leaks were on the horizon.
