Another one meriting the disclaimer:
The conspiracies aren’t consistent about his death. Epstein’s letter to Larry Nassar complaining that he and Nassar got in trouble for being pedophiles while Trump did not also implies that he was planning on committing suicide rather than be murdered.
The DOJ literally forgot to redact the documents correctly, and many of them can be copied / pasted into another program to remove the “redactions.” This admin is such a clown show.

Oh look, another million documents to review. Hiding in the same cabinet with the Biden crime family documents.
The Lake Michigan baby drowning is from a tip line, not a deposition, and allegedly occurred in 1984, 7 years before Epstein became friends with Maxwell and before he started regularly hanging out with Trump. I find it less plausible than the depositions from multiple victims discussing Trump.

I absolutely agree. It feeds into why, under normal circumstance, “releasing all the files” is a bad idea, because there are a bunch of idiots out there who will glom onto such claims, arguably eroding the credibility for other armchair quarterbacks pointing out the likelihood of actual wrongdoing, and potentially defaming innocent people (not that our Glorious Leader is innocent).
The slow release of Epstein files over a long period must be driving Trump crazy? Would have been better for him if the DOJ had complied with one massive dump last week. This story will drag on for weeks as new files are released.

I can recall being told ‘this is going in your permanent record.’
WTF do you have to do to get a permanent record with a million docs? Oh, right, never mind.

The real question out of all of this is:
Which individuals in the US Govt and in the State of Florida paved the way for his deal back in the early 2000s given the ludicrous amount of evidence against Epstein.
This case highlights America’s two-tier justice system perfectly to be blunt.
If a pedophile can use money and connections to get this sort of outcome……the sky is the limit for the rest of the criminals with money and connections.
This has been the case for much of recorded history.

I don’t think pedophiles made that list until very recent times..
There used to be a societal limit on this sort of behavior that might get you a deal if you had money and connections.
Being a pedophile essentially made you radioactive.
Now its like….it doesn’t matter.
With enough money and power anyone can shift legal boundaries. Pedophilia might take more money and more power than other crimes, but no reason to believe there is any real fundamental difference.
Money, connections, and information about others’ pedophilia.
So what is the confession in all of that - he never paid the admission to Epstein island but tried to get in for free?
I think the difficulty is that societally there’s a lot of haze around what’s appropriate for adults to do with teenagers between the ages of about 12 or 13 and 18 and what’s ok varies a lot between countries and time period. I’ll note that there doesn’t seem to have been a lot of pushback on a pre-politics Trump intentionally walking in on naked teenage girls at his teen beauty pageant.
Growing up, several girls I knew were dating guys in their 20s and 30s while they were in their mid or early teens and it seems like their parents often knew about the relationships. We have a family friend who got married at 15 to a guy in his early 20s. Don’t a lot of US states allow 12 year-olds to get married with parental permission?
So looks like 4 states allow it and a bunch of others allow 15 and 16 year olds to get married.
