There are some major issues with detective Jim Rothstein, for example. Sarah claims no one questions him, well some people that have been researching this for years do. For one Rothstein has claimed on multiple occasions that Trump is draining the swamp, he is rounding up the pedophiles and that they will be tried. Second, he used to admit that Roy Cohn was one of the heads of the major blackmail ring, but when Ed Opperman questioned him on it because Cohn was Trumps mentor, he backpedaled, and said that Cohn was not running the blackmail ring (all signs point to he was). Third, Rothstein is a major defender of father Bruce Ritter and Covenant House (is it because Rothstein is catholic?).

We know Bruce Ritter was apart of the blackmail rings because:
Information on Bruce Ritter:
- From Decade of Nightmares Philip Jenkins, Page 294
Ritter and Charles Keating (implicated in the Savings and Loan disaster [Lincoln Savings and Loan, Keating Five] which ties to Franklin) both served on the Edwin Meese III (CNP) council against pornography.
- From The New York Times, Margaret O’Brien Steinfels, Dec 13, 1992
“Father Ritter's work was held in high esteem by the public, the news media, a multitude of donors and
George Bush, who cited Covenant house as one of his "thousand points of light." Father Ritter himself was often mentioned in the same sentence with Mother Teresa, but perhaps Charles M. Sennott's phrase, "the Donald Trump of Catholicism," better captures the personal drive and entrepreneurial spirit that led to Covenant House's phenomenal growth.”

In the early 1970s, at a time when his interest in international aid was beginning to coalesce into AmeriCares, Macauley heard about a Catholic priest named Bruce Ritter who was struggling to help runaway children on the streets of New York City.
Macauley decided to contact him, and the priest had dinner with Macauley and his wife, Leila, several times before Macauley finally persuaded Ritter to accept his help.
When he did, the rise of Covenant House, one of New York City's most famous charities, began. Macauley was chairman of the Covenant House board of directors from 1986 to 1989.
The alliance between Macauley and Ritter led to an audience with Pope John Paul II in Rome in 1982. (Ritter left Covenant House in February 1990 after accusations of sexual misconduct with some male runaways he was helping).
The meeting with the pope gave life to AmeriCares. Although Macauley started AmeriCares in 1979, the organization did not go on its first relief mission until 1982, when the pope asked Macauley to send aid to his native Poland.
AmeriCares' contacts with important Catholic figures brought it a valuable ally in the Knights of Malta, a Catholic organization that has helped distribute AmeriCares supplies.
The Knights of Malta, formally known as the Sovereign Military Order of Knights Hospitallers of St. John and Jerusalem, is a worldwide Catholic charity founded in the 11th century to care for soldiers in the Crusades. Today, the group is based in Rome. J. Peter Grace, a member of AmeriCares' advisory board, is president of the American chapter of the Knights of Malta, based in New York City. William Simon, another AmeriCares advisory committee member, is also a member.
From Breaking the Faith – A close look at Covenant House By: Russ Baker
Working closely with former board member Robert Macauley, a wealthy businessman and life long chum of President George Bush, Ritter built a network of well-connected allies across the country to help pave the way for Covenant House’s rapid expansion. He made friends with many Reagan/Bush friends, like Peter Grace, the conservative billionaire head of W. R. Grace, William Simon, the former Treasury secretary, and Charles Keating, chief of California’s failed Lincoln Savings and Loan, which is under federal investigation for influence peddling in Congress. Many of these new friendships went well beyond a hefty Christmas contribution. Keating’s company, for example, made so many “substandard” loans - as much as $40 million worth - to Covenant, that the S&L took out a $10 million “key man” life insurance policy on Father Ritter, based on his proven ability to raise money via direct mail appeals.
So much money for a charity and so much frivolous spending:

Bruce Ritter was also mentioned in the Franklin Coverup by John Decamp:
In February 1989, Hill and Knowlton's Charles Perkins
rushed to New York, for a fraction of the firm's usual fee,
to help with public relations for Covenant House. The youth
organization's director, Father Bruce Ritter, was alleged to
have molested youth who took refuge with him.
Lauded by the Reagan and Bush Administrations as a show-
case for the privatization of social services, Covenant House
had expanded into Guatemala as a gateway to South America.
According to intelligence community sources, the purpose was
procurement of children from South America for exploitation in
a pedophile ring. The flagship Guatemalan mission of Covenant
House was launched by a former business partner of Nicaraguan
dictator Anastasio Somoza, Roberto Alejos Arzu, who had ties
to the CIA, according to the Village Voice of Feb. 20, 1990.
The Voice quoted Jean-Marie Simon, author of Guatemala:
Eternal Spring, Eternal Tyranny: "It's like having Idi Amin
on the board of Amnesty International."
A top source of money for Covenant House has been Robert
Macauley, founder of Americares, a service organization impli-
cated in channeling funds to the Contras. A close friend of
the Bush family since Connecticut, Andover and Yale days,
Macauley has George Bush's brother Prescott on the
Americares' board. Father Ritter was a vice president of
Americares, at least until he had to resign from Covenant House
in February 1989, and spent weekends at Macauley's estate in
Connecticut, according to a former Covenant House employee.
So yeah Rothstein has some explaining to do."
Listen to Ed Opperman's last interview with Rothstein, and how when he questioned him Rothstein fell apart. I had a hand in that Alex.
