    Btw… all of the names released to date? We doing anything about any of them?

    Is Brett Ratner going to jail? No? He’s making Rush Hour 4 now?

    How about Larry Summer? Woody Allen? Bill Clinton? Anybody??

      Nobody will be prosecuted as a result of the Epstein Files. The chain of custody has been irretrievably compromised. Nothing in them can be trusted as evidence in court, and any lawyer can get the evidence tossed, or at least mistrusted enough by the jury to not convict. This is all just salacious gossip.

      The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails. It’s boring, but the evidence is much stronger, and will hold up in court.

        I mean, I don’t think that’s the reason why.

        The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails.

        But that also won’t happen, for obvious reasons. Nobody is going to prosecute Jamie fucking Dimon for anything, even though he’s closer to the center of this web than even Epstein himself.
