"Our government seems to believe the American people are stupid when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Not naïve or confused — stupid, as if we can’t put together basic timelines, read plea agreements, or notice when a serial sex trafficker keeps skating through consequences that would flatten anyone else."

"Let’s drop the fairy tale. Epstein was not spared from accountability for decades by accident. He was spared by choice."
"We all know - thanks to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, that Trump trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell through his spa at Mar-a-Lago, so it stands to reason that Trump would traffic girls through his modeling agency."

One of the tipsters released in the Epstein documents this week reached out to me. She sat for a formal FBI interview, but her 302 wasn't released pursuant to the Transparency Act.
"A few days ago, in the newly released batch of Epstein files, we got a look at a report of FBI tip line summaries. Most of us have seen these documents because they were quickly taken down by the Department of Justice, only to be reposted in the portal later.
The person who reported her friend being trafficked through the Trump modeling agency reached out to me, and I show you what she had to say in the latest episode of The Breakdown."
Allison Gill links to a video in which you can watch what a person who reported her friend being trafficked through Trump's modeling agency — the friend was a teenaged girl — has to say. See this link:

"The Epstein case is for all these reasons not a footnote to this moment but an emblem of it. Epstein and a circle of rich men indulged themselves in violation of the law and decency at the expense of over 1000 women, and not only expected to get away with it…they have gotten away with it."

"One of them is president. Others are in positions of power that allow they to bury the darkest aspects of the stories."
"The Epstein files offer America the opposite of closure. They are the latest widening of a scandal that has become a leitmotif of our time — not only because half the material remains unreleased. ...
How can you throw the bums out when they span the system? By that measure, Donald Trump is a short-term beneficiary of the latest 3mn or so page release."

"Though he, his wife and his Mar-a-Lago club are referred to 38,000 times, Trump is in sufficiently broad company that others are taking as much of the airtime."
"Newly released emails and travel itineraries appear to show that for years after Jeffrey Epstein served time for procuring underage girls for prostitution, he continued to attend exclusive dinners alongside Silicon Valley’s most famous billionaires."

"The emails, part of a trove released by the Department of Justice on Friday, show that as late as 2018, Epstein was invited to or attended dinners alongside the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Google vice-president and later Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer."

"Knowing what we know now, it’s interesting to go back and listen to what Donald Trump loyalists (though not Donald Trump himself!) were saying about the Epstein files before the election.
Here’s Elon Musk, who would go on to serve for several weeks as Trump’s informal co-president and wrecker, telling Tucker Carlson," (continued in /13)

“'I think part of why Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is going to become public.' …
And of course, Trump’s on-again/off-again consigliere Steve Bannon fanned right-wing, QAnon-style lies about pedophilia rings linked to the Democratic Party."

"If you knew nothing else about the Epstein scandal, and were told this story chronologically—at least as it stood at this time last week—you might mistake these assertions for righteous crusading….
Now we know this wasn’t just lazy partisanship. Some of the people who led the charge for Epstein transparency knew they were inculpated in the Epstein files."

"Their behavior—support Trump on an Epstein Files transparency pledge, then stand pat as Trump attempts a brazen Epstein coverup—makes most sense if they wanted Trump to win because they thought he’d be able to keep the truth about them buried forever."

"The irony should not be lost on Americans that the MAGA movement and its QAnon cousins made the hunt for pedophiles their obsession. It turns out that those concerned about child sexual predators should have staked out Jeffrey Epstein’s island…not a D.C. pizza restaurant."
~ Jennifer Rubin
"The list of those associated with pedophile and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein from the released files reads like a who’s who of the MAGA/oligarch class."
Rubin points to the ways in which the Trump regime is hurting children: measles outbreak as RFKJr rolls back vaccine recommendations; cuts to SNAP and Medicaid; destroying USAID; snatching and deporting children, using them as bait, etc...
"Academics and pundits spend too much time quibbling over whether the Trump regime is 'authoritarian' or 'fascist.' What is not debatable: a regime that abuses, terrorizes, and neglects children — and engages in a cover-up of monstrous sex crimes against kids — is evil. Anyone who has participated in or enabled these unforgivable actions should be banished from public life."
