# The Pritzker Files: CIA Dinners, Turkey-Nusra Intel, and the Nobel Peace Prize Pipeline to Putin

The Discovery
We searched 329,442 DOJ Epstein documents for "Tom Pritzker." What we found looks like a private intelligence network operating through a convicted sex offender's email.
Tom Pritzker is the Executive Chairman of Hyatt Hotels. His family is worth approximately $30 billion. His cousin J.B. Pritzker is currently the Governor of Illinois.
Here's what the documents show.
Document 1: Turkey Warns Al-Qaeda About Iraqi Fighters
**EFTA02451648** - September 6, 2016
Jeffrey Epstein writes to Tom Pritzker:
> "turkey gives nusra a heads up on Iraqi recruits. =AO slaughter. - russia gives erdoga..."
Translation: Turkey was allegedly warning Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate) about Iraqi fighters joining the opposition. The result: a "slaughter."
This is operational intelligence about a NATO ally's relationship with a designated terrorist organization, shared casually over Gmail between a hotel billionaire and a convicted sex offender.
Document 2: "Cluster Fuck" - Inside Knowledge of Military Operations
**EFTA02451927** - September 6, 2016
Tom Pritzker writes to Epstein:
> "There is a tradecraft name for this Administration's approach. 'Cluster fuck'. When China began building bases in S China Seas we ran 'freedom of navigation' cruises. This is a technical process that describes which of the ship's systems are on and which systems are off. O orders it done, Pentagon sends over details and Susan Rice views systems on/off not as a protocol but as a menu of options. She..."
Pritzker is using intelligence community terminology ("tradecraft") and describing the specific technical protocols of US Navy freedom of navigation operations - which systems are on, which are off, how orders flow from the President through the Pentagon, and how National Security Advisor Susan Rice allegedly interfered with military protocols.
This is not public knowledge. This is operational detail.
Document 3: Terrorist Leaders' 2016 Election Preferences
**EFTA02451935** - September 6, 2016
The exchange continues:
Epstein: "nusra, isis, al queda, jaba, hamas, the leaders all prefer donald wild"
**EFTA02451940**
Pritzker responds: "They know Hillary."
A convicted sex offender and a Hyatt billionaire casually discussing which candidate terrorist organization leaders prefer in the 2016 election.
Document 4: Dinner with the CIA's "Charlie Wilson's War" Operator
**EFTA02411581** - June 20, 2010
Pritzker writes to Epstein from Afghanistan:
> "Spent the evening in Kabul at dinner with the Company man who ran Charlie's war. No shit. It was him. Knows everything and everyone. Haqquani and he used to talk about who would kill the other guy first. Sovs had a big price on his head in Pak. He designed the program then did the on the ground execution (of the Soviet Union). After Charlie finally got married the Julia Roberts character..."
"The Company" = CIA. "Charlie's war" = Operation Cyclone, the covert CIA program to arm Afghan mujahideen against the Soviets. The "Haqqani" reference is to the Haqqani network - currently a US-designated terrorist organization.
Tom Pritzker is describing a private dinner in Kabul with the CIA officer who ran one of the largest covert operations in American history, casually mentioning that the Soviets had a bounty on this officer's head in Pakistan.
Document 5: Turkey's Foreign Minister and McChrystal in the Same Week
**EFTA02413506** - June 12, 2010
Pritzker to Epstein:
> "In Turkey with Foreign Minister on Thursday and in Kabul with McCrystal on Friday."
Meeting Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu one day, then General Stanley McChrystal (commander of US forces in Afghanistan) the next.
**EFTA02414952** - October 25, 2010
Pritzker describes his network:
> "Davutoglu (Turkey) and HBJ (Qatar) are friends. Know some of the others, but not as well. Davutoglu is a Kissinger type thinker. Master chess player. HBJ is a trader, money burns in his brain. Was once with him in some new model of Porsche. Asked him what kind of car it was and he said a Porsche. I said that I knew the Porsche line and it wasn't a Porsche. He said it was the prototype."
HBJ = Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. Pritzker rode in his prototype Porsche.
Document 6: The Putin Pipeline Through the Nobel Committee
Epstein wasn't just collecting intelligence - he was brokering access.
**EFTA01940931** - January 19, 2014
Thorbjørn Jagland (former Norwegian Prime Minister, Chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee) writes to Epstein:
> "Hi Jeffrey, I am in Davos next week. Why don't you come. Terje is also coming. I'm going to Sochi and meet with Putin."
Epstein responds:
> "definitely. let's try to set a putin meeting"
**EFTA01941232** - Same day
Epstein follows up:
> "you can explain to putin, that there should be a sophisticated russian version of bitcoin. it would be the most advanced financial instrument available on a global basis"
**EFTA02450579** - September 21, 2016
Epstein writes to Jagland:
> "when are you going to see putin? are you free tonight for an hour or so around 8 to see tom pritzker?"
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee chairman. Putin meetings. Tom Pritzker. All connected through Jeffrey Epstein's Gmail.
Document 7: The Ehud Barak Dinner List
**EFTA02421941** - September 20, 2010
Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff tracking RSVPs for an Ehud Barak dinner:
| Name | Status |
|------|--------|
| Tom Barrack | No |
| Arthur Sulzberger (NYT) | No |
| Steve Schwarzman (Blackstone) | No |
| David Gergen | No - very disappointed |
| Len Blavatnik | Maybe |
| Jes Staley (JPMorgan) | Office requested time |
| Tom Pritzker | Invited |
| Charlie Rose | Invited |
| Larry Summers | Invited |
Most declined. But the list itself shows Epstein's attempted reach into media (Sulzberger, Rose), finance (Schwarzman, Staley, Blavatnik), politics (Summers, Gergen), and the Pritzker network.
The Pattern
Tom Pritzker appears in the Epstein files as someone with:
1. **Direct CIA contact** - dining with officers who ran covert operations
2. **Real-time military access** - meeting commanders in active war zones
3. **Foreign minister relationships** - personal friendships with Turkey and Qatar's top diplomats
4. **Operational intelligence** - knowledge of Turkey-al Nusra relationships, US military protocols
5. **"Tradecraft" vocabulary** - using intelligence community terminology
All of this shared over email with Jeffrey Epstein, who in turn was trying to broker Putin access through the Nobel Peace Prize Committee chairman.
The Question
Why was a Hyatt hotel executive sharing operational intelligence about Turkey's relationship with al-Qaeda, criticizing NSA Susan Rice's interference in military operations, and discussing CIA officers' covert histories - all with a convicted sex offender?
The documents don't answer that question. They just prove it happened.
