Really refuels the flames on how Epstein died and why...

Wolff is a really interesting character in this. I’ve been listening to his podcast and reading his substack and it’s all very really interesting given this info. (Also an aside - can we discuss how his wife has used this situation to showcase her interior decorating/cardigan styling on his IG and launch her own lifestyle substack?)

I thought your use of “fabulist” was apt. He’s a good storyteller and writer. His substack is book excerpts - it doesn’t feel particularly of the moment or responsive to anything. Journalistically I wonder how he maintains all these sources. And now that I’ve read a few things and listened to his podcast it’s all starting to feel a little recycled. I wish there would be something new. What’s your take?

I think he’s too far into accomplice and advisor territory to rightfully call himself a journalist, and I think sitting on info till you have a book to sell is ethically sus.

Definitely! I’m very interested to see what he says about that. He has a whole podcast now basically dedicated to Trump and Epstein so there’s no skirting the issue.

Why I am shocked! I had no idea the president could be involved. He seemed like such a lovely family man…

Is it just me or is this why Trump ran for president in the first place? He knew it would all come out eventually and at least he could complicate being punished for it?

As more comes out I'm adding an addendum that this is either why he ran OR he has no idea about the puppeteering going on behind the scenes but someone wanted him in the WH as a useful idiot and that someone was relevant to and shaped by Epstein's extensive parapolitical influence. The true pizzagate?

Release them ALL- I don’t care who’s in the files! AND release ALL the Epstein & Assoc investigative files- including his money/business dealings!

I understand why the victims have not publicly named names however, I wonder if there is some protection if they were questioned & did in a congressional hearing?

Yeah, like, I do not care remotely if any Dems participated in this, they should be prosecuted for their crimes no matter what side of the aisle they're on. Only wanting the "other guys" to go down for sex trafficking children, but protecting your own is real gross behavior? Such a self-own from Republicans.
