The journalist (Julie K.Brown) that did the expose that forced the DOJ to arrest Epstein in 2019 - did an interview yesterday and she said she did not think that Epstein did all this by himself. She also talked about possible financial crimes. I have always thought that financial misdeeds were a big part of this cover up. Even if some of these folks were not engaged in sexual abuse/misconduct - they may have been involved in shady financial dealings.
Michael Wolff said Epstein showed him pictures of trump with young topless girls. He doesn't say how old the girls were.
I notice that trump has not threatened to sue Wolff, and Wolff is on record saying this multiple times in different interviews.
According to Wolff, Epstein said he had dirt on trump - "the kind of dirt that would have canceled the election". I have no idea what that means, maybe he was just blowing smoke. But one of the things he did talk about was trump and money laundering and the Russians. He probably knew a lot about that.
Going back to what Julie K. Brown said yesterday, she said she did the expose for the victims. Until then, they had not gotten justice, Epstein got a sweetheart deal, the girls - as young as 13 or 14 were accused of being prostitutes by the prosecutors that were supposed to be getting them justice. She reminded us that they are the real victims. They are more than just a meme or political toys and they deserve justice. In all of this, they are barely mentioned. Virginia Guffrie died by suicide recently. Ms.Brown also mentioned that others have not recovered, mental illness, substance abuse. Another victim filed a civil suit against a prominent NY psychiatrist ( a friend of Epstein - ) - whom she claimed sexually abused her and sex trafficked her. She was an adult at the time. The psychiatrist claimed he had a "non secret" consensual relationship with her. No such thing as a consensual relationship with a psychiatrist and a patient. If not criminal, it is unethical. She alleges that he forced her to have sex with other men while he watched. - I guess this is his "non secret" defense.
I do think there should be congressional hearings about who knew what, when and why.
Weinstein, R. Kelly. P. Diddy. All these men continued their disgusting behavior for many years as a "non secret". There are more of them out there.
