FOR THE LAST TIME (WELL PROBABLY NOT) THE “WJC” IN THE EPSTEIN FILE EMAILS IS *NOT* BILL CLINTON (Includes 8 Documents)
This week I have seen several posts on social media that are resurrecting that old, widely disproven misinformation that the WJC in the emails in the Epstein files stand for William Jefferson Clinton – i.e. our 42nd president, Bill Clinton.
They don’t.
I mean, they *do* – they *do* stand for William Jefferson Clinton, but that is *not* who is using that email account.
The *email* account, being used on a Cingular wireless Blackberry, was controlled and used by Doug Band, Clinton’s personal assistant and, eventually, deputy assistant and then counselor to President Clinton. He was also Clinton’s assistant once Clinton left office.
And it is *after* Clinton left office that these email exchanges are happening. This makes sense because Band was coordinating Clinton’s schedule; Clinton was making a lot of appearances, and also travelling for his Clinton Foundation.
Put very simply, the “wjc@” email address is a *company* email address used by Clinton’s assistant, not by Clinton himself.
Of course, I don’t expect you to take my word for it (well, ok, I do, but also..) for Notes from the Front members I am including *8* documents – emails – that prove that it was Doug, or, as Maxwell called him, Douglas – and, as Maxwell also called him, BooBoo, behind the WJC emails.
Note that it is her calling him “BooBoo” that is at the root of some, but not all, of the misinformation, because BooBoo sort of sounds like “Bubba”, and Bubba is associated with Clinton.
The documents that I am including for Notes from the Front members include banter between Maxwell and Band, with the “WJC” prominent in the ‘from’ or ‘to’ address, but not the full email address. However, one of the emails has Band explicitly including that full email address in the body of the email (which is why it wasn’t redacted – they didn’t catch it). That email address is… wait for it…
wjc@imcingular.com
However, even without that, there is a whole lot of context in those emails that proves it is Doug Band with whom she is communicating *and* that it is with Doug that they exchange the pet name “BooBoo” (barfbarf). For example (for my email geek colleagues here is a C&C warning – for the rest of you, have a barf bag at the ready because this is nauseatingly sweet and saccharin):
From Maxwell: “Booboo, I am in PB – we came back form the Island for a few days and may come to NY tom – are you around? I am very ill and require immediate medical attention – I am suffering from boobooitis – a very serious condition. Without a booboo fix the symptoms become very pronounced – a withdrawn far away look, frequent sighing, prone to cries into the night that sound like Shakespeare sonnets that sound like this – Oh Douglas – oh Douglas – wherefore art though Douglas”
(Funny that as a Brit she didn’t know it is “wherefore art thou”, not “wherefore art though”.)
In another Maxwell says that she “needs a heavy dose of BooBoo”. (Notes from the Front members will note that in this particular email she is also forwarding an email that she sent to someone named Leah Pisar whom, a search reveals, is associated with both the Transatlantic Project and the Aladdin Project.)
An email from Doug refers to “Clinton as well”, referring to him in the third-person *because Clinton is not the one sending and receiving these emails*, and in yet another Doug says that he’s going to need the full names and bios of whomever is going to attend what seems to be a luncheon at which Clinton will appear.
There are also some other emails that contain headers, which of course makes my little email geek heart go pitter-pat, (For those of you who don’t know, one of my areas of expertise is email law and policy. In fact I’m the person who coined the term “deliverability” and co-founded the email deliverability industry – true story. My organization, ISIPP, is one of only two services in the world to be used world-wide by inbox providers and spam filters to confirm the positive reputation of an email sender before accepting their email for delivery (the other is Validity, we were founded in the same month of the same year, which is why I say I co-founded the industry – they did as well).) But I digress, the point is, I know how to read email headers. And you will see in the emails *from* the WJC account that they do indeed originate from the imcingular.com account, just as Doug told Maxwell because, well, *Doug* is the sender who is sending from that account.
There is also a somewhat humourous email with Doug telling Maxwell that he called and left a message, but her assistant is French and so understood that she should tell Maxwell that “dog called”.
Anyways, I hope this dispels any misinformation about exactly whom is writing from the WJC email address.
