Thought about the #EpsteinFiles, because I'm seeing too many people say that we shouldn't judge people for what they said to #Epstein in private #emails...
Remember that he wasn't just a criminal, he was someone with huge amounts of money and influence. Conversations with him had gravity, the potential to reach the ears of the rich and powerful, even directly influence #PublicPolicy, and everyone who talks to him knows that when they are saying this stuff.
Don't think of it as someone shooting the breeze with a friend, think about it as someone corresponding with their Congressional Representative who is known for doing shady things.
No, simply talking to him isn't that big of a deal, but what they actually said in private is a huge deal.
We are getting a unique glimpse into who these people are in the dark, and some of them are speaking volumes. When people tell you who they are, you should listen, especially when they do so in confidence.
