Parallels Between Epstein And Denver’s Players And Sugar Scandal
Let’s see by a show of hands how many of you remember an infamous period in Denver history when we all discovered that Denver had four operating bordellos with a very high-class high end bold print names as clientele.
When you compare and contrast the Jeffrey Epstein story with Scotty Ewing and the rich and powerful of Denver, it amazingly lines up.
Post Watergate, when Gerald Ford was president, he held a meeting with Richard Helms the head of the CIA, his vice president Nelson Rockefeller, and Henry Kissinger. As the story goes Gerald Ford had discovered that Nixon was having the CIA open people’s first-class mail, wiretapping reporters, monitoring the anti-war efforts, and wiretapping citizens with no one’s knowledge.
Ford asked the CIA what would happen if that information got out. Helms replied a lot of dead cats are going to get out.
I always thought of that when it came to Scotty Ewing’s client list. If it ever got out a lot of dead cats were going to get out.
Since we were involved in the initial investigation, I called the Hancock number from Ewing’s list and — City Council member about to be Mayor — Michael Hancock’s voice answered. We knew we were on to something. Since then, comparing it to the Epstein story I’ve learned so much more.
Alan Dershowitz asserted at one time that he had seen the client list, but the Department of Justice and Pam Bondi say there is no such animal.
Scotty Ewing claimed his client list was stolen and there was a Denver police report that Ewing was a victim of a burglary. Stolen items did not include cash, jewelry, his iPad, his flat screen tv. Rather the burglars only made off with Scotty’s computer and the records from the former escort service.
Like the Epstein case, the Denver police announced they had also closed the investigation into the theft of Ewing’s records.
And the police cited lack of forensic evidence that there was actually a burglary. Scotty told me that he believed none of what was stolen would ever be returned. But at the same time, I talked to Channel Seven’s Tony Kovaleski who confirmed at the time that they saw the black book phone list of appointments, logs, scheduled bookings, and credit card slips of Players and Sugar.
Also recall Chief Federal Judge Edward Nottingham, naughty Nottingham. Documents in February of 2008 shut down the escort agency and the documents led to Nottingham’s resignation in 2008.
Sound familiar?
Many big Denver names were rumored to be on the stolen list, of course including Mayor-elect Michael Hancock. Now comes again parallel lives.
The present government officials who claim this is all absolutely false also remind me of Hancock’s campaign manager the legendary Evan “blow dryer” Dreyer who claimed the reports were untrue. And, that Michael, and the campaign, endured negative, false, deceptive attack after attack for months and none of us should believe it.
Again, sound familiar?
The protection, and I believe cover up, was done by The Denver Post, KUSA, and other sources.
One of the many internet rumors in the Epstein case was that the so-called client list was his insurance policy, or perhaps even blackmailing prominent world players.
I do know that when Scotty Ewing did my radio show, and management of KHOW tried desperately to stop Ewing’s appearance, including putting a little watchdog in the studio with me the day he came on, stated like Robert De Niro in Goodfellas you may know who I am, but I know who you are, and he aimed that at his johns who were listening to the show that morning.
After all of this, including charges of tax evasion and witness intimidation, Ewing did six months home detention. The woman he sold Players and Sugar to, Brenda Stewart, did six months. And Judge Nottingham will do the rest of his life.
But what does that say about the Epstein saga. Chuck Plunkett with The Denver Post wrote a column that tried to exonerate Hancock because they had spelled his name wrong in the book, and never mentioned our phone call on the air where Michael Hancock’s voice answered the phone number, and one of the working girls picked Hancock’s picture out of the lineup. The story in Denver was spiked.
And isn’t it amazing that after all these years not one of those names has ever appeared, not one customer/client has been revealed. Now will history repeat itself, and you and I never find out who flew to Jeffrey’s island, or visited him in New York or, for that matter, whether or not he killed himself.
