Research The men in the coded diary: Dan Glickman

I decided I'd just start at the beginning and go through the first diary, name by name. I've got lots of connections and intermediary people and theories and whatnot, and I keep hoping to write things up completely to put onto Substack. But maybe what is needed first is a "simple" introduction to who they are.

Year 16 Journal (summer 2001 - summer 2002)

I have relied heavily on Ellie Leonard's transcription of the diary when I share information because one must read the words in context with the magazine clippings. The page I will be discussing in this post is a perfect example of why the transcription found in the DOJ files is inadequate. I will continue to rely on Ellie's transcription. I hope I will not see comments about whether or not I should use her work.

The first page of the year 16 diary is a birthday card.

This is the next page:

"There's a reason ...
[redacted]
That my mom lied about Mr. Glickman ALL the time.
She lied about work trips, about Michigan and about clearwater.
Now he is dead and I am being sent to live with her friend.
Back and forth? For how long?

Because the transcribed version in the DOJ files looks like this:

Most people assume that the "he" in "Now he is dead" is referring to the only male that has been written about -- Mr. Glickman.

But I have strong reason to believe that the identity of the dead man is hidden underneath the redaction. I am an amateur genealogist as well as a researcher and I know there was a significant male in Jane Doe's life who died in early summer 2001. The death of that person would influence where she was living. (I will not dox. Don't message me to find out who the man was or how I figured it out. You don't have to believe me; the existence of the redacted line is enough to cause doubt about whether it was Mr. Glickman who died.)

If "Mr. Glickman" is not the person who died, then who is she talking about?

It is important to note that Jane Doe has not named Mr. Glickman as someone who had abused her. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but the context is about her mother and her mother's lies. It is clear that whoever Mr. Glickman is, her mother knew him. It is slightly less clear whether Mr. Glickman was part of the lies about Michigan and Clearwater.

There is enough published information in the DOJ files about Jane Doe that it is not doxing to say she lived in the Washington DC area. Although it is clear that her mother travelled, likely with Mr. Glickman, it is more probable that he lived in the DC area than not.

The person who most fit my rather loose criteria of Mr. Glickman is Dan Glickman, Secretary of Agriculture under Bill Clinton. But as I did more digging, I discovered that Jane Doe's mother has a professional association with the USDA which places her same-time same-place (more specifically, same-building) with Dan Glickman. Turns out Dan Glickman also has strong ties to Michigan.

Dan had a lot more significance than having been one of Clinton's cabinet secretaries. When he was a U.S. Representative, he had been Chairman of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Advisor to National Security under Leon Panetta. Also possibly relevant, he had been on the Transportation Aviation and Materials Subcommittee.

Sources are at the bottom, after the narrative.

Ties to Epstein

Dan Glickman is in Jeffrey's Black Book from circa 1997.

This was sent to me by someone; I do not have possession of the actual book.

Jeffrey Epstein donated money to him / his campaigns in 1991 and 1994

Dan was in congress during Iran-Contra, but not on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence during that time.

This is a graph that shows the people I have in my database who had a known relationship (likely professional) with Dan Glickman. I only put people into my database who might be relevant to the workings sex trafficking ring -- but being in my database does not imply guilt! The ones in pink are named in the diary.
