The issue here is that the so-called Epstein Client list is constructed not by Epstein but an Author of books. So, he is in fact getting together information for fiction novel. Having names is trying to prove guilt by association. It would have zero foundation and be conjecture and that is very dangerous.

He does not appear to have linked any of the names to any crime either. That is why he has not had any lawsuits against him YET. We are only aware of Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew cases where one was prosecuted and the other settled out of court.

I am just taking him at his word there, that the names were sourced from court and 'charging' documents and backed up by the victims. If he is wrong on that I'd expect to see him sued. Dershowitz for example is quite prepared (to threaten) to sue Pierogi salesmen so can't see him not doing the same here if the information is wrong.

so many rabbit holes, like Watership Downs on steroids.

Capitalism, as I see it, is almost completely an insiders club. Much more so than the socialist I was in my 20s even realized. But of course I was a cynical socialist and figured there were spies around. These days I figure most of them are spies.

I'm rereading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy right now, gives a feeling for what's going on with the spy and counterspy psyop we're subjected to. I feel a bit like George Smiley.

I might have read it before but I was probably in my teens at the time. Will have another look.

Also, by that list, why was Epstein targeting mostly Jews.

The plot thickens as we knew it would. The criminals and their intricate webs are quaking in retreat. Seems asset forfeiture a useful remedy.

Yep as I just said to Stephen above, it's an insiders game.
