The Other Jeffrey Epstein

Public attention has understandably centered on the repugnant, grossly exploitative sex bazaar overseen by Epstein and his co-conspirators.

It was one of the most appalling performances I have seen by a government official. Did anyone tell her how the financial indicators she spruiked might affect the wealth of the men who raped girls thanks to Epstein. This is a crime of wealthy men versus the poor and vulnerable female children
