Bill Gates is finally addressing his reported friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. And he, sort of, got time with various people by spending time with other people,” Gates, 69, told the Wall Street Journal in a wide-ranging interview published on Friday, January 24. “So yes, I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that it was just a huge mistake.”

Gates went on to say that the controversies surrounding Epstein prior to his 2019 arrest and subsequent death in August of the same year have made him more cautious about meeting new people now. “Definitely,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “I mean, are you kidding?”

In 2022 Gates’ ex-wife Melinda French Gates cited his alleged relationship with Epstein as one of the factors that led to their divorce. “It’s not one thing, it was many things. But I did not like that he’d had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,” she told CBS Mornings at the time. “I made that clear to him.”

French Gates also told Gayle King she met with Epstein “exactly one time” so she could get an understanding of what he was like. “I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,” she added. “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. … It was awful, and he was awful.”

So many people need to be rounded up over this.

But it won't happen.

How many times is Gates on his flight logs? Like several dozen or something?

He couldn't figure out what type of person he was after a few?

Aren’t all white liberal males into pedophilia, slavery, and rape?

Yep.

When it comes down to it and the rubber meets the road, all the elites, of all shapes and sizes, cover for each other, especially if there might be something they don't want to be exposed on.

Children and forced sex workers be damned.

Just like the presidents and Congress are all buddies. They snarl at each other in pubic, but attend weddings and parties, etc. together.

Same for the cable news people. Hannity and Olberman go out to dinner often together. It's all a damn sham.

Rich nerd gets to be friends with rich poon hound and get pre teens to lick his balls on the down low in paradise.

Bill can talk shite now but if Epstein was still alive and free he would be on the island this morning doing the same.

If it was as bad as she says, did she remain silent? I genuinely don’t know if she did, but it seems like if it was so overwhelmingly evil, a woman with her platform has the capability of shining a massive spotlight on it if she so chose.

Possibly, but understand, even though actions of Epstein and those who played his games with them were utter, horrible evil, people in these elite status circles are still many times afraid to speak up. Maybe there's something in their background, whether illegal or something totally embarrassing that could ruin the life they're living or their family, that at the end of the day, they just look the other way and keep their mouth shut.

The mistake is that he was caught out and embarrassed by the press for frequenting the parties.

Trying to get out front and get his side out is classic pr buffering. His people must feel that a narrative they don’t like is about to be put forth. Trump opening the books to other files has them worried.

I mean, I get all that, but now she’s choosing to lay on her outrage? Seems like being quiet then was self-serving, just as piling on now when it’s safe is as well.

He may have visited the island, but it was only because he was really into the manatees.
