    prepare for the wave of leftists and democrats connected to epstein and everything about the gop being scrubbed.
    ….
    and, hot take here: how reasonable is it to expect everyone that knew epstein to have known the circumstances of him soliciting an underage child, or to know that it happened at all?
    I’m sure he had a plausible story about it being dark, she was wearing makeup or some bullshit… his very short jail sentence would support any claims of “honest mistake”.
    and while i know there was some press about his conviction, did everyone know this?
    i’ve never run a background check on anyone i’ve hung out with, nor have i googled their names. Any one of my friends could have an old pedophile conviction i never heard of… i’d like to think i could just tell, but im not actually psychic.
    i sure wouldn’t hang around after i knew.

    originally that was the problem with the epstein files being released. He tried to connect himself to as many famous people and intellectuals as possible.
    now they will all be guilty in the court of public opinion.
