Anyone who wishes to minimize or even suppress this story will almost certainly have to answer for it one day.
As Thomas Jefferson oncewrote, referring to the urgency of emancipation, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.”
On Wednesday, God’s awakening justice may have taken the form of a hot mic.
In one of the more remarkable moments ever caught on camera, attorney Michael Levy interrupted billionaire andJeffrey Epsteinassociate Les Wexner’s shockingly candid testimony before the House Oversight Committee to issue Wexner a mortal threat, according to theDaily Beast.
“I will f***ing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, OK?” Levy whispered.
Obviously, the attorney did not intend for others to hear the threat. But a microphone picked it up very clearly.
In one respect, of course, Levy did nothing terribly surprising. After all, lawyers often show frustration when their clients talk too much. If attorneys have to go to verbal extremes to prevent their clients from incriminating themselves, then who could blame them?
What made this instance so eye-popping, however, was that Wexner had not been talking about himself much at all. Instead, the 88-year-old Victoria’s Secret founder had mentioned other powerful figures connected toEpstein.
“He had done personal work for the Rothschild family in France,” Wexner said of the convicted sex offender Epstein.
TheRothschilds, a legendary European banking family, trace their wealth to the 18th-century merchant Mayer Amschel Rothschild, whose five sons laid the foundation for the family’s 19th-century financial dynasty.
