The kicker is that Hugh Hefner was a god awful person him self. If someone like him saw red flags with Epstein then they must have been unimaginably horrific.

    Reported to FBI in 2005, didn’t hear back until 2020. So that’s Robert Mueller, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe as directors during those 15 years FBI ignored her. It was three years into Chris Wray’s tenure that she finally got a call back. And a year after the perp DIED. Jesus fuckin Christ

    Goddammit, imagine if they had investigated, how much better the world could be!

    They knew. They didn't investigate on purpose. Fucking conspiracy theorists went crazy thinking there was a child trafficking ring in the basement on a one story pizzeria, but now gobble their cucklord's pedophilic nuts

    That's because it was never about the paedophilia, the only reason they worked themselves into a lather is because they thought it was a Democrat run child trafficking ring. Accuse a Republican of literally anything and they don't give a shit but the second you accuse a Democrat of so much as jaywalking and they'll turn it into a national emergency.

    During Trump's first term it came out that Roy Moore, an Alabama Republican running for Senate, was a rapist and a pedophile (naturally he was Trump's endorsed candidate).

    Not only did Moore not drop out of the race, he almost won the election. And he only lost because enough Democrats showed up to vote for his opponent - the Republican voters still mostly supported Moore even after he admitted to going after teenagers.

    They probably investigated and found out it would impact the ruling class so they dropped it.

    my money's on it was a honeypot run by israel to entrap us leaders, was wildly successful beyond the wildest expectations, the fbi caught on to it after a bit and rather than, y'know, doing the right thing, they decided they wanted to also have the dirt on the us leadership.

    They still aren't doing that, quite the opposite, in fact, which shows who's really running the U.S. and what a farce this so called democracy is—the very democracy they supposedly always defend around the world. For example, in Israel, which also had the very best connections to Epstein, as evidenced even by the little information that the so-called U.S. law enforcement agencies are willing to disclose.

    I despise Hefner usually, this is the first time I can think of where he's been somewhat honorable.

    How disgusting is that? Hefner was actually too good to hang out with Epstein, Trump, Clinton, et al

    He's one of those cases where he's 90% horrible, 10% making good points. He fought media censorship for obvious reasons for a long time, and was on the right side of history for that, at least.

    We all can and should shit on Hugh Hefner, but one thing he wasn’t was stupid. Apparently another thing he wasn’t was a child rapist.

    Good on you Hef for not being the biggest piece of shit alive, at the time, I guess

    I think I remember this from a Behind the Bastards episode from way back when, maybe 2020.

    Or maybe I'm confusing two BtB stories, in any case in one Playboy helped the abused & exploited woman become independent and also gave emotional support. (or was it You're Wrong About? Damn.)

    In any case, the true Epstein story was known for basically ever (even before Q-Anon) and he was just never investigated properly, even though multiple victims came forward ages ago. Which is somehow even more shocking.

    His (first) time in jail was a joke btw, he was allowed to go home to do office work every day...

    Clearly, there was a lot more going on than we've ever been told, and it was well-known at the highest level of our government for multiple administrations from BOTH parties. Both sides covered this up, and are STILL covering it up.

    We need to expose ever tiny detail, and destroy whoever gets destroyed. It's time to clean house of many years of accumulated scum, and if it destroys reputations and careers, that's too bad. That's what you get for covering for MONSTERS.

    Because half the fbi were probably clients of Epstein

    It's kind of a shame. If only Hugh Hefner knew any journalists or publishers. They could have done an exposé.

    Not blaming Hugh for Epstein's crimes, but...did it not even occur to him?

    Here is the text for anyone here in the comments:

    Playboy founder Hugh Hefner notified the FBI of Jeffrey Epstein and reported that a Playmate was sexually abused and trafficked by the late financier, according to new court documents reported this week.

    The FBI reportedly ignored several of Hefner's tips about Epstein for 15 years, according to NewsNation.

    Court records show that Audra Christiansen, a former Playboy Playmate, told Hefner in 2005 that she was an Epstein survivor and asked Hefner to contact the FBI. She suggested that authorities would be more likely to take his call over hers because of his status.

    Hefner died in 2017 at age 91.

    Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown, in her Substack, reported on the legal complaint, which was filed by 34 Epstein survivors against the United States in the Southern District of Florida.

    In the court document, the FBI agreed to assist Christiansen and investigate her claims. But Christiansen apparently did not hear from the FBI until October 2020.

    "For about fifteen years, the FBI did not investigate Ms. Christiansen’s tips or follow up on her allegations," according to the court documents.

    The documents revealed that Christiansen met the late convicted child sex offender, and "before she knew it she was naked and raped by Epstein" and "trafficked for 10 years."

    "The complaint alleges the FBI did not investigate the model’s claim and by not doing 'violated mandatory policies and protocols requiring it to investigate claims, like Ms. Christiansen’s, of child sexual abuse and trafficking' and 'failing to investigate credible tips, such as Ms. Christiansen’s allegations, the FBI created a foreseeable zone of risk to future victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise, including Plaintiffs,'" NewsNation reported.
