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

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.

I think it's more like Epstein specialized in girls

Anything to ratchet up the pressure on that orange toddler is welcomed.

He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 3 hours ago

Oh, King's for sure on that list if he's saying that.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no, I thought King was one of the good ones. Is there still some hope? What was the context?

Check the list for Rep. Frank Underwood.
