Is Jay Clayton the right guy to investigate the Epstein files for crimes and indictments?
Jay Clayton is the US Attorney overseeing the Southern District of New York. His prior relationships with individuals associated with Jeffrey Epstein are real conflicts that should prevent him from overseeing the investigation and case.
Attorney Robert Barnes shared that the SDNY US Attorney worked with clients associated with Epstein. He previously represented frequent Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman, the large man who was behind the E Jean Carroll lies against President Trump.
Here’s how you can know Bondi’s referral of Epstein connections to SDNY is NOT intended to lead anywhere except to delay the release of the files. The US Attorney assigned to it has previously represented Reid Hoffman, Chase & JP Morgan. https://t.co/EqrhBumYdt

Another conflict exists between Clayton and Leon Black.

We previously reported on Clayton and his actions against XRP/Ripple days before he ended his time as the Chairman of the SEC in President Trump’s first term. We reported in September 2021:
Today we’ve uncovered a video that indicates former SEC Chairman Clayton was behind the SEC’s moves that created a favorable environment for two cryptos, Ethereum and Bitcoin, while he was SEC Head. He dropped a lawsuit on their largest competitor Ripple on his last day in office.
We asked the question, who made the call to give Ethereum an unfair advantage in the industry by labeling only Ethereum as a non-investment, allowing them to sidestep Investment-related regulations?
We found the answer to this question and it is the same guy who shackled Ripple on his last day in office, Jay Clayton.
In a video we found on YouTube Clayton is the one who directed Lowell Ness, a partner at Perkins Coie to draft the memo about Ethereum.
This video indicates Jay Clayton was with attorney Lowell Ness at a meeting at venture firm Andreessen Horowitz on January 25, 2018, where the former SEC Chairman asked them for advice and suggestions for a “playbook” that would essentially become the SEC Guidelines that would give Ethereum a ‘free pass’. This meeting was confirmed on Clayton’s calendar.
The Perkins Coie team then submitted their document to the SEC and presented their position in April, to the delight of SEC leadership.

In June of 2018, Bill Hinman, Director of Corporate Finance of the SEC, gave a speech giving Ethereum and Bitcoin an advantage over all cryptocurrencies. Then Clayton slammed Ethereum’s competitor, Ripple, with a bogus lawsuit on his last day in office.
Clayton has a past that suggests he may not be the right person to lead the Epstein case. What’s really going on?
But, but, Pam Bondi said he was a really good prosecutor and the best guy for the job! /s
Fire this loser
Is he the right guy? For our super corrupt gubmint, yes. Sadly it has been about We The People for a very long time.
He is exactly the right guy because of it!
That's why he was chosen.
Of course. Blondi is conflicted. The entire SDNY is a cesspool.
Pick someone from the Midwest and appoint them as a special prosecutor.
I remember in the beginning Bondi had tens of thousands of DOJ people pouring over the "Epstein Files". What happened with that? Have they all been silenced?
just another soundbite form “Soundbite Barbie.”
It really happened. Kyle Seraphin related that he knew many of the guys tasked with reviewing the material. They said it gave them nightmares because it was so much worse than “consensual sex with teenage girls”. Now imagine you had been forced to review that and then leadership tells you it doesn’t exist and never talk about it.
Blow the whistle.
If I don’t stand up than who? If not now than when?
God will not accept, I was just doing my job.
Off subject here but, I never forgot the small dinner party I was invited to attend with Murry Rothbard. Never will forget.
Do you remember any details about what he said?
It was in 1984. Being a Libertarian as I am he spoke of insane spending by the Fed. The shocker was an easy perspective, Carter had a deficit of 40 billion, now with Reagan, is was 200 billion. I remember he said hay look, 40 billion, not bad. That got a fun laugh. I recall he said something like we need a Libertarian in charge of the printing press. Man, it was good educational fun.
Carter inflation – 20%
No gas.
She's a player. I personally don't think she's conflicted.
She's Trump's puppet…don't ya know?
A lawyer checking on other lawyers……….what could possibly go wrong? SARC.
just the fact that you had to write SARC at the end is proof that the PC/GLOBALIST crowd has ruined AMERICANISM …
any adult from the 1960's would have seen the sarcasm, now the snoflakes are so programmed for "triggers" they crap their pants if you write a comment in ALL CAPS, THEY THINK YUR YELLING AT THEM, when sometimes yur just too lazy to give a crap …
screw yall and yur stupid social media rules …
respectrully not baggin on yur comment, just the fact you felt you had to point out the obvious to the bleedin' idjit snoflakes …
hahaha you frikken scumbags think people are stupid all this clown will do is coverup the coverup one day we will get the names of the child rapists and murderers and you will be brought to justice and your billions seized
So no wonder deep state wanted to keep this quiet, everyone involved in government is tied to this scandal. Removing them all will make shutdown seem like vacation.
As soon as I hear SDNY it's a big red flag for me. What is Pam Bondi thinking using the corrupt system to execute these investigations? Is Trump not aware?
Most likely knows. One BIG Club and we ain't in it!
Could actually be the reason. Think Barr. The man was involved in every single large scale coverup there was in my lifetime.
Including overeating. The fat tub of hate filled guts. He was on Mark Levin years ago. Mark treated him so nicey nice. I never watched or listened to Levin again. He's all for Israel at least until the last American is dead.
You suck too much coque.
I really believe THEY own Everyone and Everything, Includin Trump.
.
I still support Trump to da End. No other choice!
.
No meaningful election law or indictments and Deep State isn't even scratched yet!
.
Same o Same o!
Epstein Epstein. So many entertained by sick sht.
So many much more important things going on that need attention.
If Epstein Schiff was revealed it would take it ALL down!
Why does he look sort of like Chris Wray?
Oy.
How come conflict of interest only applies to honorable people?
SDNY is the problem, the station and their records should be raided. Remember all the officers who supposedly took their own lives? It is definitley where the trove is
If he has any proven direct connection with any of them, force his removal. He must recuse.
I don't know. Should the fox guard the henhouse?
Yep. Bondi has to go.
Bondi stays true to form … puts on a show for the cameras and then makes sure it leads nowhere and nothing is done.
Wise up Trump … Bondi is not an asset.
I'm at a loss. Please tell me.
I wish I knew.
One reason is it is so big not only our Political but our Financial; institutions will most likely collapse.
.
Pull it ALL down!
.
Just say NO to Satan!

In 'We're being played world' ……………… it's the perfect choice!
No
What Epstein investigation?
If you bank at Chase you have ties to clients. If you use Linked In you have ties to clients. If you’ve flown Virgin airways you have ties to clients. It’s all of them.
US Attorney Jay Clayton overseeing the Southern District of New York is the right guy to investigate the Epstein files if you are one of Jeffrey Epstein's cients.
The whole SDNY DOJ should have been purged along with the eastern division of Virginia. What is wrong with these new leaders? Obama did it first thing.
Is there anyone out there that is not compromised?
If this guy worked for Epstein's clients, then his appointment was to make sure only the "right" people will get targeted for indictment. He's there to protect the guilty.
The SDNY needs to be completely gutted
and new attorneys appointed.
That is exactly why the pedophiles selected him.
Next to Washington DC isn’t the southern District of New York one of the most corrupt? Why would you do it there?
I'm sure the "Epstein investigation" is a head-fake by Trump to block the release of the files after Congress votes for it. The only thing they'll likely do is refuse to release the "sensitive" files because of the "ongoing investigation." As such, it makes little difference who heads up the investigation.
It's all fixed, no one is going to ever do any time, they all watch out for each other, they know exactly what they're doing.
Get this fox out of the henhouse, please. Put him on other cases.
Better to pick some local prosecutor with no political ties
This is like the Diddy case where hollywood was protected. It will be the same for epstein clients.
MMost certainly NOT as he was the most frequent flier to Epstein island himself !! He later bragged about it to quote most of Congress, the good ole boys club….
WTH TRUMP ?
Bambi (and Kash) has to go!
All the Epstein files are is a smokescreen to cover for all of congress doing absolutely nothing except extorting American tax payers.
The Epstein files are used to control government and law enforcement officials. If one wanted to rule the world, this is how. Its the single most important thing there is. But everyone wants to downplay it.
Indeed. Plus, the Deep State always pick Controlled People who Will Destroy, Derail and Cover Up the "Investigation." NOT further it honestly. They've been doing this forever. Look at the So-called Warren Commission and more. My God, Jamie Gorelick who was a primary CAUSE of 9/11 was then Put ON on the 9/11 Commission, what a freaking JOKE, ON and on. Find out WHO put this clown on this task and you'll find The Deep State. BOOM.
Boom?
BA-KA-BOOM!
It's being used as cover, but not a smoke screen. There are young girls who were trafficked and sexually assaulted by Epstein to high powered clients for the purpose of blackmail.
They are rich, influential, in politics and government, and the control over them is more important to the Deep State that Justice.
If you want to change it the American people must GET OFF THERE ASSES AND GO
VOTE ! A report on elections stated only 42% of registered voters (nation wide) went to the polls last election ! That is pure laziness >shame on the so called American public.
LOL. Still think we're voting our way out of this do you???
And when we had an 80% turnout in 2020 and the democrats STILL STOLE THE ELECTION…and the REPUBLICANS DID NOTHING TO STOP THEM OR INVESTIGATE OR QUESTION THE RESULTS….please tell me again how voting actually changes things…..I'll wait….
Um yea someone who has inside insight? Yeah is the right guy, gives him an advantage
.
Many layers of Scumbags…
.
He looks like he could be a CLIENT.
Oh, never mind.
FRIENDS OR REPRESENTED THAT PERVERT REID HOFFMAN EPSTEIN VIP CUSTOMER !!!
NO NO NO !!!
Trump seems to have alot of Trojan horses come into the gates at the WH and Mara Lago.
Be careful of the enemies within…
Nope!!! It'll be just another whitewash.
More proof ( if anyone needed it). Pam Blondi has got to go.
EXACTAMUNDO. Why is Trump, a results guy, keeping this accomplished absolutely nothing twit around??? Bon Bon Bondi is a total zero, along with Kashie Kash Kash, and Bon Bon Bongino. Come on, convict somebody for Christ's sake.
And why is he against MTG and Massie who want all the information released?
Blah, blah, blah. Does anyone really believe that any of the perps will be held to account? If you do I have a slightly damaged bridge in Brooklyn for a very attractive price.

This is a sad and consistent fact of American JUST US. IMO instead of self flagellation over stuff like this OUR(??) “CON”gress should be putting DJT’s judges on the bench and figuring out how to make the dictator/rulers in robes accountable so OUR agenda can proceed without further delay.
Bondi thinks Claytkn is PERFECT for the job.
OBVIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY, BONDI is DEEP STATE when it comes to protecting. Powerful political CRIMINALS
END OF STORY.. ..
They will go to any end to make sure nobody is punished.
Yoo Hoo! Calling Pam Bondi!
of course he's the right guy, the perfect cover up for the democrats who are guilty like hell for him to sweep it all away.
I don't believe the Epstein Files will ever be released because the 3 intelligent agencies who ran the sting operation are still blackmailing the people they captured. These groups are not about to give up their wealthy/powerful Epstein diddlers until they are all gone & buried and maybe not even then. This is behind the scene dirt governments don't want U to hear or see because it exposes their wicked ways. IMO
Clayton is no good…one of the gang. The day he left the SEC he dropped the single biggest crypto case to date. The case against Ripple (XRP) lasted 5 years, the case was BS from the start and cost the company 100 million in lawyers alone. The SEC lost the case!! The SEC during his and Gary Ginslers time was an extortion racket proecting the banks. Usually the crypto companies relented and paid millions in fines, but Ripple fought them till the end.
HE PROTECTS THE BANKS and destroys their competition. Im verrry familiar with him, I dont trust him.
Do you get it yet??? Do you get the Trump and Co. is making those 3-D chess moves to make sure that there is never justice related to Epstein. No disclosure of the operation perps (you know…those certain intelligence agencies) or of the pedos. 3D chess. See how that works?
Ricky Dearman: James O'Keefe = trustworthy.
Is he even the right guy to be in that job?? Didn't Kash Patel put him there?
Can’t anyone say, “Jay, you’re fired. “?
EVERYBODY has ties to Epstein.
Epstein was an Israeli pedophile blackmail operation.
