There is also this email to “Mr. Jeffrey,” apparently from an Epstein victim, who describes going to the symphony with Botstein in 2013

A lot of what is in the recently released emails is absolutely new and concerns Botstein’s decade-long friendship with Epstein including numerous meals together, Epstein helicoptering girls to campus to see Botstein, Botstein traveling to the island, Epstein arranging a girl’s tuition with Botstein

I would encourage you to read more of the emails as well as this article www.thedailycatch.org/articles/eps...

Go on…

In an April 14 open house event cited in the new complaint, Botstein was asked about his role as final arbiter of college sexual assault cases. Three students who were present told The Huffington Post that during the discussion about sexual assault he commented: "You have to use common sense. A girl drinking a bottle of vodka and then going to a party is as wise as me walking into a Nuremberg Rally while wearing the yellow badge."

One question I have is that if Bard President Leon Botstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, thinks that college rapist boys are similar to Nazis, then why does his school treat them so leniently? www.huffpost.com/entry/bard-c...

Of course there was also the darkroom guy in his 50s/60s who left the country to continue being with a student

Raised this to Simon’s Rock friends, and I’m hearing there are many such cases

But when you’re 16, you’re just like, “damn, that’s messed up”

In retrospect, it’s so insane that an English professor at Simon’s Rock left his wife for a student (Simon’s Rock students start college before finishing high school) and continued to work there for decades

Now we have an answer for the question of “where were the adults in charge?” they were hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein!!!

Looking back, it’s pretty messed up that an English professor at Simon’s Rock, a Bard affiliated for students who have YET TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, left his wife for a student. But when you’re 16, it’s easy to feel like all you can do is go, “Damn that’s crazy”

As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

At least the @timesunion.com has some guts! Finally the full Botstein-Epstein story is coming out www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Nor that his 2006 blogpost about Trump’s Epstein ties would today be memorialized on Justice.gov following a sustained groundswell of popular outrage about Epstein and his network of rich and powerful fellow pedophiles and enablers

20 years ago, then-closeted fascist blogger John Carney could not have imagined that today his political movement would control the federal government and he would be cheerleading it for the fascist blog Breitbart, which is running cover for Trump’s Epstein ties

write the full Botstein-Epstein story, you cowards

Spotlighting The World Factbook as We Bid a Fond Farewell Somewhat devastating news today from the CIA: One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. There's not even a hint as to why they …

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

The tail number of the plane is 624-N. Leon Botstein should arrive at least 10 minutes before take off (so by 9:50am) The estimated time of arrival to ST. Thomas is 2:30pm. We will have Leon picked up and taken to Jeffrey's island...all will be taken care of! Do let me know what flight Leon prefers to take this Saturday Dec. 22nd and I will take care of the booking. As we spoke about before, I will need Leon's passport information but also make sure he has it with him for this trip! He will need it!

Epstein emails suggest Bard College President Leon Botstein visited the island in 2012. It's been reported that Botstein took money from Epstein, but don't think it's public that he went to the island. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
