It’s not just Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book that included a controversial list of who’s who.
The Wall Street Journal disclosed the private calendar of the deceased predator for the first time this weekend.
Correspondence details meetings with a far wider circle of the rich and powerful than initially reported. (RELATED: Report: JPMorgan Chase Can Be Sued Over Links To Jeffrey Epstein)
They include alleged meetings with current CIA Director William Burns, when he served the Obama administration as deputy secretary of state.
Other names include former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, who later joined Goldman Sachs as its chief legal officer; Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College; and Noam Chomsky, arguably the most influential intellectual and iconoclast in the past 50 years.

All of the meetings occurred after Epstein pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution involving a minor.
According to the documents, William Burns met Epstein on two occasions. One of them at his Manhattan townhouse. Ruemmler and Epstein had dozens of meetings. He had scheduled for her to join him in Paris in 2015 and fly to his private island in 2017. The disgraced financier’s schedule listed that Chomsky was to fly with Epstein and have dinner at his glided New York City mansion in 2015. The Journal couldn’t verify if every meeting took place. However, Epstein visited Leon Botstein at Bard College along with several young women.

None of these individual’s names appeared in Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s so-called black book or on the flight logs for his private jet.
The report adds:
Most of those people told the Journal they visited Epstein for reasons related to his wealth and connections. Several said they thought he had served his time and had rehabilitated himself. Mr. Botstein said he was trying to get Epstein to donate to his school. Mr. Chomsky said he and Epstein discussed political and academic topics.
Mr. Burns met with Epstein about a decade ago as he was preparing to leave government service, said CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp. “The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector,” she said. “They had no relationship.”
Ms. Ruemmler had a professional relationship with Epstein in connection with her role at law firm Latham & Watkins LLP and didn’t travel with him, a Goldman Sachs spokesman said. Epstein introduced her to potential legal clients, such as Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, the spokesman said. “I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein,” Ms. Ruemmler said.
In 2006, Palm Beach police began an investigation into accusations that Epstein molested at least 40 young women and girls. In 2008, he pled guilty to two state charges, avoiding dire consequences.
A secret arrangement with the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta (R), spared Epstein from a potential life sentence. Acosta claimed he agreed to the sweetheart deal because he was told Epstein was involved in intelligence work “above his pay grade.” No further details are known.
Epstein’s case generated waves of media coverage at the time, with publications in the U.S. and abroad reporting on accusations from underage girls and young women. In 2006, several politicians returned donations from Epstein. Some associates moved to distance themselves from him. His biggest known client, retail billionaire Leslie Wexner, later said he cut ties in 2007. His bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co., later said it closed his accounts in 2013, though some bankers continued to meet with him for years after.
During his 13-month jail sentence, with a six-day-a-week work release, the alleged sex trafficker met with constitutional law scholar Alan Dershowitz and Arnold Paul Prosperi, a friend of former President Bill Clinton.
Epstein and Maxwell, his madam and on-and-off girlfriend, are documented to have rubbed shoulders with Bill Clinton, Great Britain’s Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey, Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine.

Epstein maintained a close friendship with future President Donald Trump for the better part of two decades. Their falling out occurred in the early 2000s before allegations that Epstein abused underage girls became public. (RELATED: Judge Who Signed Off On Mar-A-Lago Raid Connected To Jeffrey Epstein)
In 2018, the Miami Herald started publishing a series of exposés on Epstein’s accusers and his preferential treatment. The paper corroborated allegations of trafficking in women and girls as young as 12 from the United States, South America, Europe and former Soviet republics. Journalist Julie Brown identified 80 Epstein victims and located more than 60.
On July 6, 2019, an FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested Epstein at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. A raid at his New York City townhouse found copious evidence of what’s been described as a sex trafficking empire.
At the time of his mysterious death, Epstein was held without bail at New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. Although his jailers promised the Justice Department they would have a guard check his cell every 30 minutes, those procedures weren’t followed on the night of his purported suicide. The two security cameras within view of his cell also malfunctioned.

Are there any prominent Republicans who had similar innocent dealings and elbow-rubbing with Epstein, who were likewise completely unaware of Epstein’s status as a purveyor of young girls and blackmailer of his clients?
Disgusting. Out of control Federal Agencies.
Did Chomsky apply to Epstein for cunning linguistics?
Did “plant” kill Epstien for this alone ??
Both political parties and other high influence people were involved so we will never know.
So will Maxwell ever spill on the corrupted perverts in high Govt. Bankers and such ?? Or is that why she’s still alive ?? Epstein was a waste of brains and flesh but he was taken out like anyone else that’s a witness to the big name officials and players !! He was a potential witness and payed dearly for it too !! The CCTV on not one but two cameras just happened to go out at the perfect time ??? How is it Clintons dressed up in a red dress and all and hardly gets any questioning about it , or why it was in Epstein’s Sex Hotel ??
