The Trump - Epstein Nexus uses legitimate methods of the law for unlawful purposes.
We know from the testimony of women like Stormy Daniels Trump would use non-disclosure agreements to conduct illicit affairs. The agreement trapped, quite effectively, a woman in a sexual understanding that proved to be dangerous. Stormy Daniels was stalked and threatened by Trump's thugs. All this is a matter of testimony.
Relationships between men and women should not be allowed to be a document. These legal instruments were intended to protect corporate research and scientific investigation that stockholders paid for and held trademarks and/or patents.
Non-disclosure agreements are more or less a financial protection for governments and corporations with their employees. I also think the idea of
pre-nuptial agreements need to be reviewed.
Women are courted for their beauty, personality, or other traits that endear a man to them. That is legitimate. It is real. There is no document that can capture the dedication of a woman in a marriage. Marriages are important and sacred but to create a document that inhibits the best outcomes of both persons in that marriage is oppression.
But, in the case of the Epstein criminal network, Epstein's value was in the company he kept and it wasn't the women. Epstein literally captured very important people in a trap he regarded as a pleasure when in fact it was prostitution of minors for the enjoyment of men. Massages or no massages the testimony is on record and it is obvious what Epstein did. The people, like Leon Black who benefited from Epstein's contacts didn't bother to look beyond the instrument that captured important people into Epstein's circle of influence.
Black funded a pedophile. What was he doing with non-disclosure agreements with women? More intimidation and exploitation? I take it, it wasn't his wife.
...Black paid Epstein over $150 million during their yearslong relationship
Black is the co-founder and former chief executive of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management. He stepped down in 2021 during the fallout over his ties to Epstein.
Lawmakers have alleged that Black paid Epstein $180 million during their yearslong relationship.
A 2021 review commissioned by Apollo found that Black paid Epstein $158 million from 2012 to 2017, after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor. The review said the payments were for “bona fide tax, estate planning and other related services.”
Black is among a number of influential figures to appear in the investigation into Epstein and the web of wealth and influence around him. Other figures to have appeared for the investigation include former Democratic President Bill Clinton, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Black is mentioned repeatedly in files that the Justice Department has released related to the Epstein investigation. He also appears in a collection of birthday messages sent to Epstein that were released by the House committee last year, including a poem attributed to Black that refers to “Blond, Red or Brunette, spread out geographically.”
Before the June 26 appearance before the committee, Black maintained that he was not aware of Epstein’s “nefarious activity” until 2019 and that he paid Epstein for legitimate purposes, in part due to his “unrivaled network of relationships” with influential figures.
