And of course, thereason we learned of Epstein’s power is not only Julie Brown’s intrepid reporting, but a newspaper with enough courage and commitment to put resources behind her investigation. What newspapers are willing to do that now??

I haven’t heard people saying this yet: it is highly unlikely that Jeffrey Epstein was running the only billionaire pedophile ring in the world. The documents have revealed whole global elite networks that include access to young girls. Who’s running the current rings for all these men?

Yes. Testifying you took your wife and children to the sex trafficker island sounds LOTS better. Quick thinking there Lutnick!

I'm so fucking over all these conspiracy theorists who imagine women doing terrible things to men, and then justify their destruction of women's freedom

And the *only* reason we even know about Epstein is because ONE intrepid reporter actually took young girls’ testimony seriously. If it wasn’t for Julie Brown’s tenacity - and RESPECT FOR THESE YOUNG GIRLS - we’d all be in the dark.

SO: Who’s following the next trail?

As Le Point and Le Monde have both reported, Epstein was running a major project out of his luxurious apartment in Paris' 16th arrondissement to advance the interests of Marine Le Pen and her Pétainiste party, which appears to have been coordinated on several levels with the Kremlin. Here's Bannon.

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.
