    He’s trying to retcon the whole thing (and no doubt pad himself and his cronies), by fabricating this fiction that there are names in it that are just associated with Epstein, without being involved in anything illegal.

    Personally I don’t buy it. Seems like he’s in CYA-mode.

      Release the list and we can sort em out.

      But really, having anything more than a conversation with him is suuuuper sus. Even if not illegal, it’s shady AF.

        If that concern were actually relevant and not merely an excuse, mob justice would fail to consider innocence. That’s seen repeatedly. Merely an excuse seems likely, but…

        The thing I could imagine is that the list being something like a contact list, and Epstein treated celebrity contact information as a status symbol. If the list is a ledger of otherwise off book transactions, or a lost of people complete with blackmail material, then I can’t see how they could even try to make the argument about innocent caught up in the list.

        Either way if they have a district list, put aside releasing the list for a moment, where’s the legal system enforcement actions?

        Oh like we get I dunno like 12 people in a room to listen to what all happened relate it to relevant law and establish guilt or innocence… I hear commie countries do anti freedom stuff like that
