    I’m sure he has a note.

    I all but never pull any of Meidas Touch's stuff in here, if only because generally they're a day or two behind the news and their analysis is kinda windy. I'll make an exception for this one, because while some of this has been explored elsewhere I don't know that I have seen it outlined in quite this way. It's connecting Trump to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the late 90's, shortly before he married Melania.

    So is there a site with a list of the names or no? I have yet to see an actual list.

    The people named in this release were all known and there are no direct accusations of pedophile.

    I read there will be another release, which may have more details.

    I'd think that you can get access to the vast majority of it with a little google-fu. So far there has not been anything earth shaking. Lists of who rode on Epstein's plane, visited the island, most of that stuff was already out there. You'll find some sycophants and enablers, get to read some statements, but there does not seem to be a lot added to the basics of the story.

    There also were thousands of documents dumped. I wonder how closely they've been scrutinized.

    I've not conducted the research that the armchair experts have done regarding Epstein and Maxwell so I never really grasped the situation until reading a couple of articles recently that quoted extensively from various lawsuits. There's one thing I don't think you can argue: The two of them were deranged sexual freaks, and it seems to me that would have to be pretty obvious to anyone who spent time with them, especially on the island or the ranch, both places that were filled with young girls.

    So I guess I'm leaning towards the guilty-by-frequent-association side of things, when it comes to Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Bill Richardson, and some of the others.

    Am I misremembering or was Epstein on Clinton's pardons list? Every, and I do mean EVERY president let some pretty scummy people walk their last few days in office.

    You are thinking of Marc Rich - totally different scumbag - but understandable.

    The real revelation would be to fully understand how Epstein earned Les Wexner’s total devotion, because Epstein being given the keys to that financial fortune on the face of it makes zero sense. Epstein had to have leverage over Wexner and/or some of the most powerful people on earth to gain control of billions of dollars with the most pedestrian of resumés.

    And we will NEVER get that answer.
