    This looks bad for Mandelson and Clinton but there’s not really incriminating about Blair. They met at Downing Street for 30 minutes at Mandelson’s recommendation and talked about politics.

    I try to stay skeptical about conspiracy theories, but I have yet to see an explanation for why this guy had so much money and connections. To talk about “science” and “money markets”? At Bill Clinton’s request? None of that makes sense to me.

      Who? Epstein? He had the billions and nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. Sell some girls here and there to the wealthy, lock in a little blackmail, you could be rich and powerful too!

    Lord Mandelson pushed for the meeting, telling Sir Tony’s chief of staff Jonathan Powell that Epstein was “a friend of mine” who ex-US President Bill Clinton hoped to introduce to the PM.
