And it’s going to continue. You can bet there are other Epstein like people and places out there and rich people with access who are still committing heinous crimes.

The craziest bit about Epstein is how the F does he continue to operate the way he does, in the circles he was, after being convicted in 2008? It's a total failure by law enforcement, and society generally.

Too many rich and powerful folks all tied in I’m afraid. Even Pam Bondi let it slip that if they peruse it the entire place burns to the ground. So let it burn.

Pretty off-colour thing for a lawyer to say considering there are a number of suspicious deaths surrounding this thing, including of course Epstein himself.

I gotta say...the Lawyer said it with a smile on his face and the Client laughed.

They're not taking this seriously.

Yeah for sure it was a joke. I imagine he's had the same lawyer for a long time and they are close. I'd say something like that to my friend too as a joke. But all things considered, yeah just not a good choice of words.

Pretty telling how many people continued, or initiated contact after that. A rational person would see that as toxic as #### and in no way want to be associated. That these people seem almost indifferent to it tells you how much power they figured they had to take that risk. That they didn't see it as risky at all. That's telling about a lot of things.

So Trump wished Prince Andrew well today after his arrest. Same thing he did with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Once upon a time trump's campaign promised to "drain the swamp"

Pursuing this is essentially how it is drained. Probably shouldn't promise things you aren't prepared to deliver on, especially when you're housing a few of those swamp monsters.

Whoever goes down can be replaced. There is no shortage of people eager to climb who haven't (yet) lost their humanity entirely.

As revolting and disturbing as the already released Epstein files are, one has to believe that the remaining unreleased ones are truly horrifying.
