(3,679 posts)Confirmation of something long suspected. One of the many reasons he gets away with his criminal acts.
Seems evident the rumors he and j and g were more than friends, they were business partners, are more than just rumors. Which means that j and g were doing the same thing. Which begs the question, are t and his spawn still running that particular business?

However it is also certain that the current regime's Department of Justice has a huge amount of the material which Epstein had, and which Epstein apparently was using to blackmail the rich and powerful. Under Trump the Department of Justice has been weaponized against the enemies of the president to an extent never before realized. Does it seem credible that the Department of Justice would not be using the Epstein material on Trump's behalf?

(42,820 posts)Kinda goes without saying.
Ive been clicking at the millions of docs from the latest release of files and there are already videos of stuff that doesnt require much imagination. Videos of young girls in some really awful positions.
Tomorrow the Dems including Jamie Raskin will have access sans the redactions. That might just put a partial end to this, as Jamie showed on television that the redactions they are doing are to protect such people. He showed the memos and explained how the redactions could only have been to cover up the identity of the perpetrator.
I guess what puzzles me is that there would be that many men interested in girls. Ive always thought of this as a perversion. It could have been a normalizing process, then an opportunity, photographed, and then blackmail.
I have researched how early an age this perversion shows itself and it is very early.

(69,124 posts)With billions of people in the world, it's not surprising that there are at least thousands of wealthy and/or powerful men with this perversion. Epstein's business was finding them. I think he and Trump were in business together.

(42,820 posts)Of men in this position are few.
Maybe that is why Epstein had to take this worldwideto increase the number.of men who would find themselves interested in this sort of thing. perversion.

(69,124 posts)People who seek power over others seek positions of power. Politicians, business people, judges, law enforcement, wealthy socialites - even academic stars. Even the town bully, the mean drunk who gets in bar fights. If you look for it you see it everywhere.
Of course not everyone in those positions seeks unlawful power over others, but if your primary goal is that, you'll gravitate to positions that give you power.
Some people have a strong urge for power over others, and they find ways to get it. The rest of us don't notice until we're the ones being abused.

(3,679 posts)asia, the middle east, india...they dress it up as marriage, on their books it is illegal, but it is not enforced. Bloody hell, even here in the u.s. there are several states where girls as young as 12 (or was it 10?) can be legally married with their parents permission. And the attempts in those states to raise the age to 18 were shot down because...fredumb.

Trump was partners with Epstein in the biggest sex, Blackman and money laundering scandal in history.
Until his partner was partner no more.
