General Discussion

It's one thing if there's proof that they were "involved", such as there is with Andrew (due to Guiffre's direct allegations), photos that confirm the "relationship" exists are legitimate evidence that might serve to establish the "credibility of the witness", if you will. THOSE kinds of photos are appropriate to share and I have no issue with the public seeing them.

But character assassination of people (I'd cite Larry Summers and the congressional rep from the VI as examples) simply because they knew him, or kept speaking to him after some point at which it could be argued they "should have stopped being friends by then", but there is no evidence of any wrong-doing apart from that? I'm just not a fan of that. Feels very "angry mob, out for blood" in nature, and I don't care to be a part of that.

We already know a hell of a lot of rich/powerful people associated with Epstein. It is NOT right, however, for de facto investigators (like congresspeople) to post pictures of people in such a way that the public will assume, without evidence, that because Epstein "associated with" them they are therefore a participant in his crimes, nor even aware the he was abusing minors. This would be esp. true if it's an old picture.

And while there's strong evidence Trump knew what Epstein was up to, the fact that there's a picture of him with a group of young women (seen if you visit the Huff Po article) is not particularly incriminating in and of itself, given that he was the owner of the Miss USA/Miss Teen USA pageants. BUT it is still kinda creepy, and Trump is a special case in that he's POTUS. So I consider Trump photos to ALWAYS be "fair game", to be clear.

As far as the standards I mentioned above goes, I'd prefer if the photos released of any given (non-Trump) individual were accompanied by reason(s) why this particular photo is being shared, i.e. why the relationship is incriminating, such as a victim saying that person abused them, or an email between them and Epstein containing incriminating language, etc. I'm just not a fan of making false accusations or bearing false witness against people without evidence is what it comes down to. I hope the congresspeople in charge of deciding which photos are released will adhere to this standard, because it feels like the right thing to do.

MHO, fwiw
