I suppose it depends on what the meaning of “is” is, but the fallback position for most anything that befalls the Clintons—and the scandal du jour is nearly always of their own making—is to lie. But let me back up for a moment: over the weekend—while we were all immersed in mortar wars with our neighbors, and consuming copious amounts of barbecued meat—Bill Clinton’s one-time good buddy and oft-private plane host, Jeffery Epstein, was arrested on what is alleged to be a sex trafficking ring filled with under-aged girls. And if you’re anything like me, and have a historic memory longer than Alyssa Milano’s, the first name that popped into your head upon hearing of Epstein’s arrest was “Bill Clinton.” But for those of you who don’t know, and thus are wondering what Bill Clinton has to do with all of this…here’s a primer. Briefly:

Former President Bill Clinton continues to remain silent about the 26 flights he took aboard convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the ‘Lolita Express,’ which reportedly offered underage girls to passengers to rape.”

“Fox News wrote in 2016 that the Lolita Express, a Boeing 727 jet, was ‘reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.'”

Yes, the same Bill Clinton who indeed had “sexual relations with that woman” and lied about it—remember, Monica Lewinsky was indeed an adult, but was young enough to be Clinton’s daughter, and was most certainly in a subordinate position to then-President Clinton—had this to say days after the news broke that his one-time BFF was under arrest for allegedly sex trafficking young girls:

Yeah. Bill Clinton just glared into a camera and wagged his finger at us. Again.

Pardon me while I call BS alongside Mr. RFH. And here a just few reasons why:

1. Bill Clinton—who says he took four trips (not four flights) on Mr. Epstein’s plane—gets four Pinnochios yet again: one for being a slime ball, and three for his typical misleading language. According to 2016 reports, Bill Clinton took at least twenty-six flights on Epstein’s private jet, with at least one of them to Epstein’s infamous island where under-aged girls were frequently in attendance, and ditched his secret service on at least one of the five-legged jaunts. So…unless Billy is deaf, dumb, and mute, it’s a tough sell to believe he saw nothing out of the ordinary on any of those flights, or at any of their destinations.

From a 2016 Fox News article:

Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.”

Snip

“Official flight logs filed with the Federal Aviation Administration show Clinton traveled on some of the trips with as many as 10 U.S. Secret Service agents. However, on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is listed. The U.S. Secret Service has declined to answer multiple Freedom of Information Act requests filed by FoxNews.com seeking information on these trips. Clinton would have been required to file a form to dismiss the agent detail, a former Secret Service agent told FoxNews.com.” [emphasis added]

Liar, liar. Depends on fire.

Yeah, the word “BleachBit” comes to mind…

2. Mr. Clinton has a long and well-documented history of, ahem, behaving inappropriately around women who are not his wife. And, as noted above, at least one of those women was a painfully naïve, uber-young intern of whom he took advantage, abusing his power over her.

3. And then there’s this:

Which this intriguing Twitter thread might explain.

And finally, 4: Donald Trump—whom the left is trying desperately to drag into the sordid story of pedophilia (that whole Russia thing has imploded, so they need a new “gotcha,” doncha know)—was reportedly the only person who assisted authorities the first time Epstein was under investigation for similar charges years and years ago. Plus he banned Mr. Epstein from the Mar-a-Lago grounds for “sexually assaulting” an “under-aged girl” employed there:

The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk. I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information. That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009.”

And his administration has been rounding up sex trafficking rings that, of course, goes mostly unreported by our media.

So, why is Bill Clinton’s name all over the news now (watch that linked video!)—connected with the repulsive story of an already-convicted sex offender doing what sex offenders who aren’t sufficiently prosecuted do: re-offend—after he’s enjoyed decades of Teflon Don-ish protection by the liberal media, Hollywood, and anyone who values Democrat power more than protecting children? Simple: the Clintons no longer have political clout. Their power has waned, just like Bill Clinton’s once-charming persona. With the political trouncing of his (un-indicted felon?) wife two-and-a-half years ago, the Clintons have nothing left to barter, and thus have nothing to offer anyone who wishes to achieve power in the political swamp in which the Clintons dwelled for decades. And therefore throwing them to the wolves is now safe, albeit despicable for those who remained silent or were complicit in decades of cover-ups. With some continuing to do so to this day:

Seems Wikipedia has altered Epstein’s bio already. First screenshot of Epstein’s bio was at 8:27 a.m. The 2nd was at 10:30 a.m. omitting Bill Clinton & Spacy yet leaving Trump! That is frightening. Same exact bio of Epstein, different times. https://t.co/T6lUHD8TrO pic.twitter.com/5QrjuovwHB

So while no one should be shocked if Bill Clinton skates in connection with Epstein’s alleged sexual predation charges once again, so should it be equally un-shocking should he find himself on the business end of a criminal indictment. Because karma has a way of catching up with evil. And Clinton’s meeting with her—as is that of anyone who allowed a known sexual predator to roam the world freely with barely a slap on the wrist—is long overdue.
