I mean, it's the one time he's guaranteed to not be named in a sexual assault case, so why not?

I'm wondering what kind of international incident this will cause. Who else is in there, it can't be just Americans?
Rich people are not an America-only issue.
That's my point.

"My computer recently crashed and I've lost all my friends' email addresses."
I think it's more like Epstein specialized in girls
my personal objection.
releasing the Epstein's files will include people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.
however, it would be very clear that those people are innocent, and they're will be people in the files that were clearly diddling children.
Either the files should be released in full and the only consequence for people who casually met Epstein and never interacted with him will be some conspiracy nuts harassing them. or at worse censor the list for those names.
Also, just because there isn't a file named "Epstein's client list.docx" doesn't mean there isn't info about his clients.
"just because there isn't a file named "Epstein's client list.docx" doesn't mean there isn't info about his clients."
Exactly, this focus on a "list" drives me crazy. If detectives investigating a murder don't find a piece of paper with the victim's name on it in the killer's possession, they don't throw their hands up and say, damn he got away with it.
Epstein's entire business model revolved around having receipts on his clients, that's how he stayed out of prison for decades, and it's why they are covering it up now. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a supressed criminal investigation.
the conspiracy is about who (we know who) and why (we know why) the criminal investigation is being suppressed.
Anything to ratchet up the pressure on that orange toddler is welcomed.
Crazy how Spacey’s career abruptly ended, even though he was acquitted and/or found not guilty. Yet Trump, who has lost his civil sexual assault cases, is the fucking president of the United States and no one will do anything about it.
Spacey would still be making movies now if he’d just preyed on vulnerable women instead.
Dustin Hoffman, Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ryan Seacrest all have multiple SA allegations that they were able to play down and keep working, but those were all from women.
Most homophobia stems from the fear of male rape, so the usual meninist/MRA crowd who scrambled to defend “innocent until proven guilty” for Russell Brand (3 upcoming producer credits) are nowhere to be seen when it’s Spacey.
(for clarity, this is not a defense of Spacey, it’s an attack on hypocrisy)

Jesus Christ is that a real quote? It's accurate AF. Like, uncomfortably accurate.

How can you mention these people and forget Jared Leto? He's an actual cult leader.
I think if your whole brand is being a creepy weirdo, that sort of makes you immune to the consequences of being identified as one.

Worth noting Spacey is currently on Epstein flight logs that have been released
Epstein's private plane took President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, and comedian Chris Tucker to Africa

You forgot about being a 34x convicted but not sentenced criminal.
He was sentenced, it's just that his sentence was ... nothing. Which of course is a totally appropriate penalty for a fucking felony.
yes, it is revealing how flexible the conservative soul is when it comes to corruption and perversion, while simultaneously being inflexible about things like compassion, charity and kindness.
The only true thing Trump has ever uttered was that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose support.

probably becauses hes into male minors. and not female like most of the pedophiles/ephebophiles out there.
Not googling that word
It's just a synonym for libertarian.
That's so funny
It's a distinction some make, where pedophiles go for the kid kids, like prepubescent, where ephebophiles want the ones who have at least started puberty but are still kids.
Hold my beer, it's even more complicated
- Infantophiles go for 0-5 (up until developed consciousness)
- Pedophiles ~6-beginning of puberty
- Hebephiles - going through puberty
- Ephebophiles - after puberty but before adulthood
- Teleiophiles - 18-late 30s
- Mesophiles - 40s-60s
- Gerontophiles - 70+

Don't ask me why I know, I just like getting to the grit of things.
I'm going to accuse some people of being Teleiophiles and Mesophiles.
Careful with the mesophile label, some microbiologists may start watching you with interest.

Okay, but then why did you laminate the legal statute so you could carry it in your wallet?

He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.
Oh, King's for sure on that list if he's saying that.
Oh no, I thought King was one of the good ones. Is there still some hope? What was the context?
We don't need your help here..
Right? Like we get it, you're not in the files, and you want to remind everyone you were acquitted and found not civilly liable of your own sexual misconduct. But "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent," and dodging legal responsibility is not vindication.
