As someone observed a long time ago, sometimes there is a human element and a stupid element involved.

One might think that the inner circle enjoyed the secret because not only was it satisfying (and yes the gang may have aged out but as the law is clear, it views pedophiles as pretty much incurable) but this elite gang convinced themselves that they were untouchable. And of course the money transacted was nothing to sneeze at as well.

Would it be because....he was charming?

[mister_coffee]

Just asking a question here.

From the "Birthday Book" it is obvious that most of Epstein's friends knew all about what he was doing. So it does raise the question of why so many powerful, wealthy, and presumably intelligent people thought it was okay to pal around with a pedophile? I mean, even convicts know that pedophiles are bad people and shun them.

The WSJ has gotten the Epstein/Maxwell yahoo email account

"Epstein’s personal Yahoo account was turned over to Bloomberg News, including hundreds of previously unreported emails.
'...hundreds of emails from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account, which haven’t been previously reported, shed new light on Maxwell’s partnership with Epstein. They also contribute to longstanding questions about her credibility, including her truthfulness in a two-day interview she had with officials from the Department of Justice this summer. (Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after a jury found in 2021 that she recruited and groomed women for Epstein to sexually abuse.)
The emails, part of a cache of more than 18,000 obtained by Bloomberg News, show that Maxwell and Epstein were closer, in many respects, than either publicly admitted. Maxwell opened at least one foreign bank account using one of his addresses, was a named director on one of Epstein’s main revenue-generating companies and traded stock in a company they were both invested in, details that haven’t been previously reported. The pair discussed undergoing a shared fertility procedure, long after Maxwell claims she largely disassociated from him. They corresponded about discrediting women who raised allegations against them, including in one exchange where Maxwell said she planned to circulate compromising information on one of Epstein’s sexual-abuse victims.
...The emails include a spreadsheet itemizing nearly 2,000 gifts, luxury items and payments totaling $1.8 million, with notations indicating they were intended for Epstein’s friends, business associates and victims. The spreadsheet, which was created by one of Epstein’s accountants, includes a $35,000 watch that was earmarked for a former Bill Clinton aide; a $71,000 purchase at a Lexus dealership for one of Epstein’s lawyers; and other items, such as lingerie and chocolates, some for teenage girls who later lodged sexual abuse complaints against Epstein and Maxwell. The spreadsheet indicates that Maxwell helped Epstein arrange many of the items...
...the emails demonstrate her deep knowledge of the legal jeopardy he faced and show how she helped him strategize over even the most consequential details.
“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.”'
A month later Epstein pleaded guilty to two Florida state charges: felony solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution. He also registered as a sex offender.'

Been wondering why Speaker Johnson put the House into early recess rather than have a vote on the Epstein files.

caught on a hot mic, the infamous James O'Keefe sent in an operative to meet with a senior DoJ official and during the conversation, on tape he told her
the DoJ intended to redact the Rep names in the Epstein files. Interestingly, the DoJ has actually released a statement verifying that this official engaged in the conversation.

Hopefully they won't send any more of these:

That's a plutonium-238 dioxide pellet. And yes they glow from their internal heat.

OF Course!! Because dealing with things as simple as nuclear fusion - and space travel - should always be relegated to some drooling, numbskull, fascist azz hat….

Getting harder and harder to distract from the Epstein files but they're still trying. Today's bait, putting a nuclear reactor on the moon.

From Shane Almgren:
"I decided to look into the facilities Ghislaine Maxwell was just from from/to and here's what I found out.
WHERE SHE WAS SERVING HER TIME: Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) Tallahassee
FCI is a "low-security federal correctional institute" for women, with a combination of male and female guards. It's got a double-fence with electronic monitoring. Known issues at the facility are severe staffing shortages, poor sanitation and maintenance, rodent and bug infestations, spoiled food, and lots of complaints of staff misconduct including sexual abuse (poor gal!). There's a structured daily schedule with limited movement.
WHERE SHE IS NOW: Federal Prison Camp (FCP) Bryan in Bryan, Texas
FPC is a "minimum-security prison camp" with all-female guards. Nick-named "Club Fed" for its relaxed dormitory-style housing, comfortable amenities, and ample recreational activities, FPC has no perimeter fencing or guard towers. There are few restrictions, loose schedules, free outdoor access, and many of the inmates work jobs offsite.
According to Bureau of Prisons designation policy, sex offenders aren't typically eligible for camps like Bryan unless granted a waiver. Which raises a few questions about how Maxwell ended up there."

Maxwell's transfer to Texas is suspect:

Speechless. You just can't make this stuff up. Trump takes another wild step to take eyes off the Epstein fiasco. He's ordered nuclear subs to be positioned off Russia

Seems worthwhile to revisit the timeline and bring The Apprentice in on it. The show first aired in 2004 and it soon became a major source of income for Trump that he wouldn't want jeopardized by Epstein's threats. Now that we've all gotten to know the seedier side of Trump it's become public knowledge that he is fueled by revenge that is not always well orchestrated. There's no doubt that Epstein had receipts and that what he could or would do with them worried Trump. No doubt Epstein was smart enough to recognize the hornet's nest he would stir up with revelations, revelations that would blowback on his own empire. So, ya, I think Epstein made the threats but I don't think he would have followed thru, but Trump was triggered. Triggered enough to contact law enforcement? Nah, never personally, but he could have tipped off a buddy who told a buddy who told a buddy.

[mister_coffee]

The problem with the whole "dropping a dime" thing is that both of them were up to their necks in major criminality and I find it implausible that either of them (no matter how stupid) would go to law enforcement. Because they would know they had no way of controlling whether any investigations they triggered would start looking at them.

Given the murky history of Epstein's finances and Trump's public history I feel pretty confident that both of them were involved in seriously dirty finance.

On the other side of it I find it implausible that not only did Trump not only know about what Epstein was doing to little girls, I also find it implausible given his known proclivities and public statements that he wasn't hip-deep in the same stuff. Yuck.

The other interesting question is who else distanced themselves from Epstein in 2004 and 2005?

Jim: Shane Almgren used to work for Trump at Mar a Lago. He's stuck pretty close to the public facts and certainly Wolff's interviews are pretty juicy tidbits after all these years. This third storyline lines up better with the chronology and is more in line with Trump's persona.
