As a former federal prosecutor who focused on sex trafficking cases, it is true that there is a “difference” between criminals who traffic 15 year olds and criminals who traffic 5 year olds. One gets a greater sentence than the other. Both are aggravated felonies with a 15 year mandatory minimum.

If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???
They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Epistemic violence against sexual abuse accusers—smearing them as deluded, crazy, or incompetent—is something rapists know works, and they conspire to do it.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

The sad thing is that "elite social networks and credentialing institutions explain how capital influences state behavior" is generally seen as a weak and outdated explanation. But over the past couple years all the most vulgar theories of state/capital relations are looking correct
