The most dangerous place to be for a young girl on Epstein’s island was around Jeffrey Epstein and the most dangerous place for anyone to be is between a camera and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Recently, Rep. Khanna, one of the most hypocritical figures in Congress, has formed an alliance with the equally disreputable Rep. Thomas Massie to pretend that he’s outraged and cares deeply about Epstein’s crimes.
Even though there’s no such prior evidence of him caring about Epstein.
Rep. Khanna has taken to accusing random people of being involved with Epstein while ignoring his financial backer who really was. I wrote in November about Khanna’s ties to Reid Hoffman and through him to Epstein.
In 2014, Ro Khanna, a former Obama official, was on the campaign trail in his congressional race while touting his support from LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman.
Around the same time, Hoffman was visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island.
A decade later, Hoffman and Khanna have become some of the most vocal crusaders against the long dead Epstein. Hoffman dropped an estimated six figures on a Monday Night Football ad by supposed Epstein ‘survivors’ demanding the release of the ‘Epstein files’. None of the ‘survivors’ in the ad mentioned the names of any of the men who abused them or revealed that the ad was being paid for by an associate of Jeffrey Epstein and a visitor to his ‘island’.
Hoffman isn’t just Khanna’s Silicon Valley ‘sugar daddy’, but a power broker whom Khanna worships.
Rep. Ro Khanna ran for office by telling CNN that he was going to apply Hoffman’s lessons to politics. When Rep. Khanna visited ‘coal country’ in Kentucky, his takeaway for helping “working class Americans” was to quote Reid Hoffman. When Khanna wrote a book, Reid Hoffman reviewed it on LinkedIn, and then Khanna shared the review and praised Hoffman for his “deep” insights. And when President Trump tried to reform mass migration, Rep. Khanna turned to Hoffman to defend the destructive practice.
While Rep. Khanna claims that he hates PACs and wants to get rid of them, Cooper Teboe, Khanna’s campaign manager, finance director and currently ‘chief strategist, created his own consulting firm, CDT Strategies, supposedly to help progressives running against party incumbents, but actually went on to fundraise for Biden’s SuperPAC Unite the Country. Hoffman donated $1.5 million to the PAC. And there’s a history of aligned giving involving Hoffman and Teboe with other candidates.
We now know even more about Hoffman’s connections to Epstein. This Bloomberg article dug deeper into those ties.
Over the years they exchanged gifts — dumbbells for Hoffman, a metal surfer statue for Epstein — with Hoffman staying at both Epstein’s Caribbean island and his townhouse on New York’s Upper East Side.
Hoffman, a board member at Microsoft Corp. and partner at Greylock Partners, once hosted Epstein at a dinner with Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. Epstein advised Hoffman on matters beyond fundraising, from Hoffman’s interest in buying a private plane to his meetings with foreign dignitaries. Those included the UK’s former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Hoffman first met Epstein at MIT during a visit that included Ito. After the meeting, Epstein emailed Ito to ask if Hoffman had followed up “on the jail.”
“About your jail thing?” Ito replied. “I talked to him about it and he got it. He doesn’t judge people.”
Epstein and Hoffman began communicating via email and Skype, with Epstein at times offering guidance on some of Hoffman’s own business ventures. After Hoffman and his colleagues at Greylock met with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in October 2013, Epstein asked about the meeting and suggested introducing Hoffman to others in Gates’ network.
“Joi says that you’re on the fence around investing in the fund — worth scheduling a skype call for that? OK if no,” Hoffman wrote.
“Always can make time for a Reid skype :)” Epstein replied.
As the press attention snowballed, Hoffman offered to help Epstein with damage control. “Been giving a bit of thought to how I can help with recent press,” he wrote in January 2015, “mostly looking for help on the on-line front.” Epstein responded: “nothing to do during a storm, but hunker down, and wait until it blows over.”
“Jeffrey has exquisite taste in people (myself excepted),” Hoffman wrote in a September 2014 email.
After the island and New York visits, Hoffman appeared to be grateful. On Christmas Eve, he told Epstein he’d sent him two gifts: a surfer statue for the island, and ice cream, either for himself or for “the girls.” A Hoffman spokesperson said the “girls” in question were adult members of Epstein’s team who used that term for themselves.
This is bad. It’s far worse than any of the other people whom Rep. Khanna and his pal Massie have tried to smear.
Rep. Ro Khanna has accused everyone, especially President Trump, of being linked to Epstein, except his backer.
This is wrong, despicable and Rep. Khanna should be held accountable for his Epstein ties.
