So, former Israeli Premier Bennett has said, not Mossad. and Crabgrass cannot prove that wrong, but then, the money did not materialize out of thin air. So, the headline from The Times, mid-item raises a possible reason Trump wants Epstein questions buried with Epstein, but that's not ringing any bells with MAGA people like MTG, who want the people (them) to have the truth, the perps named, and all.
Sen. Wyden's Democratic Party membership on committee posts has given him a glimpse where he says we all should see and weigh. Crabgrass agrees. Russian money and Trump hiding deep from it is of interest, given how the "hoax" word has been so coarsely abused. This is smoke under the old saying.
Second source online, again quoting Wyden, who is on YouTube over this speaking slowly enough that you will not mishear a word -
Wyden discussed the revelation in a Thursday floor speech, saying, “Last year, the Biden administration allowed our investigators to look at portions of the file. We did that at the Treasury building. Here is what it says. Treasury’s Epstein file details, Mr. president, 4,725 wire transfers.”
“Let me repeat that: 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts. That’s even more to investigate. The file shows that Mr. Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking,” Wyden said.
Wyden’s findings were also reported on in the New York Times. Wyden shared the Times article and added, “Epstein had to pay for all his sex trafficking somehow. Further evidence shows he used Russian banks to process hundreds of millions in payments. Again, this is info in the possession of the Trump administration, but they’re refusing to investigate.”
The Miami Herald’s Julie Brown, who has spent years investigating Epstein, shared Wyden’s remarks and noted, “In almost every interview I’ve given on this story, I’ve said ‘Follow the Money.’”
Wyden’s comments come amid a firestorm of controversy around the Trump DOJ and FBI releasing a memo saying that the main conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein are false, a claim that has deeply divided the MAGA base.
The Treasury Department responded to Wyden’s remarks in a statement, saying, “Despite Senator Wyden’s fantasies, there are no hidden files at Treasury. The Biden Administration had access to this information during its tenure. The fact that Senator Wyden never asked Joe Biden or Merrick Garland to address this matter shows this is pathetic political theater and a complete joke.”
The numbers are real or not, and whether Biden and Garland did a thing about them is an irrelevancy. They are real or not, so let the truth out. The bottle's been uncorked, and bullshit from Trump "hoax" musings only heightens interers.
BOTTOM LINE: The genie is out of the bottle.
Someone said "Russia, Russia, Russia" disparagingly, showing hubris in so speaking, but - ITS BACK!
______________UPDATE______________
Something Crabgrass expects to be fleshed out, other banks and other amounts, and were any Israeli?
_____________FURTHER UPDATE___________
As a mental exercise, if I were a Mossad administrator running Epstein as an asset, I'd possibly think to use a Russian Bank rather than a local one as an intermediary in paying things. Or a Cypriot Bank, Ukraine Bank, whatever. Multiple intermediaries. And he'd be an independent contractor and not an employee on the books, so Bennett could say he was not employed by Mossad without stretching truth too much by implying no tie, as opposed to no regular paycheck on the books.
Heart and head both say Mossad, no matter what Bennett or others deny, ran Epstein. Israel getting alliances by blackmail might be more reliable than by moral allegiance to Zion.
Doing what's done in Gaza could cloud Zionist loyalty. Having video might bind faster, firmer, longer.
