5 crazy moments in Leslie Wexner's deposition

You start to wonder how much evil could have been prevented in this world if Leslie Wexner's parents had only thrown him a birthday party.

I’ll admit that I’m looking forward to next Wednesday’s dispatch when, hopefully, we’ll be able to discuss somebody other than notorious thong salesman Leslie Wexner.

But The Rooster turned seven in December, and yesterday, I got curious about the first time that Wexner’s name entered the Rooster Cinematic Universe.

From The Rooster on July 11, 2019:

Personally, I never trusted Wexner, a grown-ass man with too many opinions about women’s lingerie for my liking.

We’ll see if it was simply happenstance that Wexner got in on the ground floor of a worldwide pedophilia ring, but I have a feeling that some of the Wexner signs that populate buildings throughout Columbus could come down unless Epstein magically turns up dead in a prison cell.

Ah! Well, nevertheless!

Wexner recently faced a deposition in his New Albany manse, where several Epstein survivors allege that they were abused.

Given the gross favoritism, I was shocked when the U.S. House Oversight Committee released the entire deposition on Thursday afternoon.

You can view the entire four-hour, forty-five-minute saga here:

I’ll be honest.

I have only gotten about two hours through the deposition. But here is the most viral moment, where Wexner’s lawyer threatens to kill him if he answers another question with more than five words:

Another major revelation was that Wexner’s parents never threw him a birthday party, something that he clearly still resents at age 88.

It makes me wonder how much evil could have been prevented if Wexner hadn’t tried to earn that love through building a teenage anorexia empire and befriending a psychotic pedophile for decades.

Wexner wore a snazzy outfit as if he were about to take a quick excursion in a sailboat around Cape Cod on a cool fall day. It was part of an act of nonchalance, as if he couldn’t be bothered by the spectacle, while he brazenly perjured himself by pretending that he never considered Epstein a friend, despite decades of evidence to the contrary.

Here are five minutes that hit me the hardest in the first two hours, with more to come perhaps later today or next Monday, before we shift gears.

Oh yeah, Ghislaine Maxwell has been to New Albany

In August, convicted British demon Ghislaine Maxwell stated that Epstein “ran” New Albany, the patchwork of farming land that he helped build into the vibrant suburban faux plantation we know today.

Wexner painted Maxwell as Epstein’s “girlfriend” whom he “wanted to marry.” When a House lawyer asked Wexner if that relationship was monogamous, Wexner replied that he “thought so.”

But things got hazy for Wexner when he was asked whether Maxwell had ever visited his home in New Albany.

Personally, I think I would remember if I had ever allowed a convicted international sexual trafficker into my home, but Wexner has obviously hung out with a lot more of those types than I ever have.

Wexner claims he doesn’t remember if he signed a prenup before marriage

Wexner curiously couldn’t deny whether Epstein orchestrated his prenup before he married the daughter of a founding member of Israel. He couldn’t even remember if he signed one at all.

Wexner was equally hazy when asked if Epstein hired anyone in his immediate orbit, which, again, should have been a rather easy “no” if he was an evil influence on the edge of Wexner’s life.

So, how, exactly, did Ohio State’s Dr. Mark Landon meet the world’s most infamous pedophile?

Wexner seemingly complicated Ohio State’s Epstein’s problems when he vehemently denied that he introduced Epstein to Dr. Mark Landon, the Ohio State OB-GYN chairman, whom Epstein paid $75K a year for “consulting services.'“

It’s an open secret in the Ohio State medical community that Dr. Landon and Wexner are friends, and that he delivered Wexner’s children.

If Wexner didn’t introduce Dr. Landon to Epstein, who did? Because the next suspect would be Abigail Wexner, or Dr. Landon making the introduction himself.

Would have loved to see Dr. Landon’s reaction when he saw that clip. I wouldn’t be happy if I were him.

Wexner pretends to be unfamiliar with Dr. Richard Strauss

Thank God for Federal Judge Michael Watson ordering Wexner deposed in the Dr. Richard Strauss class-action lawsuit against Ohio State on Feb. 11, because House Democratic lawyers clearly didn’t do their homework on that particular scandal.

The lawyer, who went uncorrected by her colleagues, couldn’t even pronounce Strauss’ name properly. She also alleged that Dr. Strauss abused women, which was entirely untrue.

Wexner was also not the chairman of the Ohio State Board of Trustees at the time. He was a trustee, but more importantly, he was chairman of the Trustees’ Board of Personnel when Ohio State mysteriously declined to renew the contracts of the ostensibly diligent Strauss in 1996, one year before the university let him retire with “emeritus” status.

Still, Wexner’s flippant dismissal while pretending to be unfamiliar with the name Dr. Strauss just shows how little experience he has in being confronted with his own actions.

Thankfully, he won’t be so lucky at the next deposition.

Wexner seemingly doesn’t deny a longtime romance with a pedophile

In my opinion, I have always believed that, in my opinion, the most likely explanation for Wexner’s behavior was that he’s at least bisexual and fell in love with Epstein.

Epstein’s last cellmate told the FBI that Epstein earned his money by “having sex” with Wexner. And Wexner didn’t offer much of a denial to that theory, either.

The Rooster will have more on the deposition on Monday. But given the probability the first two hours set the stage for the next 2:45, it’s not looking good for the notorious thong salesman.

Here comes the cavalry: There will be a second, high-level Zoom call on Capitol Square on Friday afternoon.
