    Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman walk into an Irish pub.

    The bartender sighs, “Oh no, not Yewtree again…”

    I’m wondering what kind of international incident this will cause. Who else is in there, it can’t be just Americans?

    I mean, it’s the one time he’s guaranteed to not be named in a sexual assault case, so why not?

    my personal objection.

    releasing the Epstein’s files will include people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.

    however, it would be very clear that those people are innocent, and they’re will be people in the files that were clearly diddling children.

    Either the files should be released in full and the only consequence for people who casually met Epstein and never interacted with him will be some conspiracy nuts harassing them. or at worse censor the list for those names.

    Also, just because there isn’t a file named “Epstein’s client list.docx” doesn’t mean there isn’t info about his clients.

      people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.

      All it’ll do is make a list of probabilities.

      If you were caught having sex with an intern, AND you were in Epstein’s book, it just has a higher chance. However, he’s more likely to go after someone who has been publicly caught.

      The black book isn’t as interesting as the redacted information in the court papers. Sealed details about the official testimony are going to be far more damning than his little black book.

      Also, there may be stuff like flight logs of personal accounts putting people in bad places.

      “just because there isn’t a file named “Epstein’s client list.docx” doesn’t mean there isn’t info about his clients.”

      Exactly, this focus on a “list” drives me crazy. If detectives investigating a murder don’t find a piece of paper with the victim’s name on it in the killer’s possession, they don’t throw their hands up and say, damn he got away with it.

      Epstein’s entire business model revolved around having receipts on his clients, that’s how he stayed out of prison for decades, and it’s why they are covering it up now. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a supressed criminal investigation.

        Because they were all male. Female SA victims report at a low percentage. Males are even lower because of a perceived lack of “manliness” from being a victim.
