Re: Democrat sex offender and dear friend of Hillary Clinton, Ed Buck.

Ed Buck, a longtime fixture of West Hollywood politics, was 
convicted Tuesday of charges that he supplied the methamphetamine 
that killed two men during “party and play” encounters at his 
apartment.

In a gruesome case of an older white man using his power and money 
to exploit the poverty and drug addiction of younger Black men, the 
jury found Buck guilty of every charge in a nine-count indictment. 
Among them were maintaining a drug den, distribution of 
methamphetamine and enticement to cross state lines to engage in 
prostitution.

Buck, 66, could spend the rest of his life in prison. His two 
convictions for supplying the meth that resulted in death each carry 
a minimum sentence of 20 years.

The verdict concluded a two-week trial that featured harrowing 
testimony by men hired by Buck to show off their bodies in underwear 
and get high on crystal meth and the party drug GHB. Excerpts from 
Buck’s hundreds of graphic videos and photos of the drugs-and-sex 
sessions left spectators wincing at the trial.


It was only in September 2019, after a third Black man nearly died 
of an overdose, that Buck was arrested — a delay that fueled angry 
protests by activists who accused law enforcement officials of 
failing to aggressively investigate a politically influential white 
man. Buck, a onetime candidate for West Hollywood’s City Council, 
made more than $500,000 in campaign donations over the last couple 
of decades, nearly all of it to Democrats.
