A week after Bill Gates abruptly pulled out as a keynote speaker at a high-profile global AI summit in India, the left-wing billionaire finally mustered enough nerve to “take responsibility for his actions” over his ties to late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a town hall meeting with Gates Foundation employees.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Gates told employees at a town hall event for the foundation on Tuesday that he never spent time with Epstein’s victims, and never visited Epstein’s island.
He revealed that Epstein later learned about two affairs he had with Russian women, but said those relationships did not involve Epstein’s victims. Gates said photos in the Epstein files show him with redacted women were taken by Epstein’s assistants after meetings.

What’s more, the Department of Justice, when Pam Bondi isn’t promising to prosecute Americans for “hate speech” or rolling out new schemes to cover up the Epstein, hasn’t scrounged up the time or energy to bother even investigating any of them.
No prosecutions, no investigations, no press releases.
Nothing but radio silence Continue reading “Elusive COVID Justice: Where Are the Prosecutions?”
