U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Epstein was not ostracised for his crimes. To some powerful men, he became even more appealing | Moira Donegan

So here's my issue: I can understand someone accepting an invitation not knowing who or what Epstein was, before it was public knowledge.
But if you get to the island or the plane or the party and see what it is, how do you immediately go screaming, max volume, to the press?

Many people said yes. There's a scale of culpability: I think some just wanted funding and for whatever reason didn't look too closely at the source they were seeking it from, which is still bad. Others got into the sleazy misogynistic spirit of it all; that's so much worse.

If your name appears 38,000 times in the Epstein investigation, and you have multiple rape/sexual assault claims filed against you (including a conviction), and you owned a teen beauty pageant, all while being friends with a sex trafficker, it’s no longer a conspiracy theory. It’s just a conspiracy.

Epstein file releases are about to bring down a major government and have rattled many others. On the other hand, most of the criminal chicanery and espionage revealed in them occurred in the US and involved figures close to Trump, and is having no consequences. America is the impunity state.

Hassett: "There's a chance that job creation lags, productivity skyrockets, profits skyrocket, GDP skyrockets, but then all of the sudden you're making 20 widgets and you can make 20 widgets with fewer persons, and then that person has to find a new job. I think that kind of transition could happen"
