Epstein was interested in Chomsky for some reason due to his expertise in linguistics, or so it's been speculated.

It's possible chomsky had nothing to do with Epstein's nefarious and illegal activities.

We won't know, until they RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

If Chomsky is guilty of some of the heinous shit, I'll be right there with you to throw him and drag him under the bus. For now, we don't know if he's actually guilty of anything.

for some reason

The linguistics research that Chomsky and Marvin Minsky were doing was the AI craze of their day. The place they were working was called the "MIT AI Lab". It was funded by the department of defense. Not hard to wonder why an Israeli agent would be interested in their work.

If Epstein happened to work for Mossad then I think it wouldn't be a far fetch they needed someone to keep a close friendship with Noam, considering his writings about Palestine

It's obvious, that there are a lot of people whom had contact with Epstein and had nothing to do with anything nefarious. However, I think Chomsky and Esptein kept contact after it was revealed he was a pedo child trafficker. Not a good sign.
