"If we were in the same room, I wouldn't recognize him."

He uses the same old tired bullshit whenever his associations with sleazy and corrupt people gets exposed.

and that completely freaks me out. Being he has never been held accountable, he feels invincible and that makes him a very dangerous man.

Those must be like trophies to him. If he was that messed up, no doubt he has all kinds of other incriminating evidence around. That has to scare the crap out of some people.

In his mind he could even double down on his perversions if he wanted to. He felt quite safe.

There will be emails between the lawyers and Epstein, well heeled friends (see one Donald J Trump, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, etc) and whatever photos and video of these poor little girls performing sex acts on these old men. It’s disgusting and I hope it will all come out. However, when you have this many billionaires involved, it’s bound to take some hairpin twists and turns.

but it looks to me like both Epstein and Trump's modeling agencies were likely engaged in collecting compromising blackmail material on VIPs for the Russian mob. Just sayin', given all the established connections. Epstein bragged himself that he built his agency to be like Trump's. That's what @LincolnsBible seems to think anyway.

Let's ask Mikey (Cohen)...I bet he ran a few more sordid errands than the ones we've heard about.

It'll be interesting to see whether Employees 1, 2 and 3 sing in tenor, baritone, alto or soprano.
