>The Jeffrey Epstein case is an asteroid poised to strike the elite world in which he moved. No one can yet say precisely how large it is. But as the number of women who’ve accused the financier (at least, that’s what he claimed to be) of sexual assault grows to grotesque levels—there are said to be more than 50 women who are potential victims—a wave of panic is rippling through Manhattan, DC, and Palm Beach, as Epstein’s former friends and associates rush to distance themselves, while gossiping about who might be ensnared.
>Who knew what about Epstein’s alleged abuse? How, and from whom, did Epstein get his supposed $500 million fortune? Why did Acosta grant Epstein an outrageously lenient non-prosecution agreement? (And what does it mean that Acosta was reportedly told Epstein “belonged to intelligence”?) But among the most pressing queries is which other famous people might be exposed for committing sex crimes. “There were other business associates of Mr. Epstein’s who engaged in improper sexual misconduct at one or more of his homes. We do know that,” said Brad Edwards, a lawyer for Courtney Wild, one of the Epstein accusers who gave emotional testimony at Epstein’s bail hearing. “In due time the names are going to start coming out.” (Attorneys for Epstein did not respond to a request for comment.)
>Likely within days, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will release almost 2,000 pages of documents that could reveal sexual abuse by “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders,” according to the three-judge panel's ruling.
>Another person involved with litigation against Epstein told me: “It’s going to be staggering, the amount of names. It’s going to be contagion numbers.”
So that's why we have a new push for (((war))) in Iran today...

until it happens, it's all speculation.

Vanity Fair is one of the most prestigious establishment magazines in America. On this subject it's the best speculation you could hope to get.
Christian Martinez
Yeah.
Adrian Davis
Author is a Jewish MSNBC contributor. His bias runs in the opposite direction.

On Alan Dershowitz -
>He called me a minute after I had emailed him for comment. He said he’d been friends with Epstein since 1996, when they were introduced at a party on Martha’s Vineyard by Lynn Forester de Rothschild. “She begged me to meet him. She told me, ‘here’s this smart academic.’” A few days later, Epstein invited Dershowitz to Les Wexner’s 59th birthday party at Wexner’s mansion in New Albany, Ohio.
Jordan Adams
Seems to be a pretty balanced story, considering the source.
Ethan Rogers
in before "missing pages" and redactions with black bars everywhere.
Cooper Mitchell
The point is that he would have no political interest in seeing Epstein and his associates go down. And whatever you think of Vanity Fair, they have a reputation to keep. They wouldn't print this if it wasn't solid.
Noah Hill
The lawyers who are going after Epstein don't seem to think that's how it's going to play out. Doesn't mean it's definitive. but these people aren't fools
Julian Kelly
Why are they hyping it up like this? Is this a cry for help? >Mossad please do something about this ASAP!?!
Carson Lee
>"One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent"
That was presented uncritically in the article. Really gets the old noggin joggin.
Carter Williams
>inb4 FBI does literal affirmative action for illuminati pedophile prosecutions and removes the jews that make up 70% of the list
In before every name is released and fully unredacted, but no one cares or notices because it's not being run on the nightly news
Lincoln Reed
Why'd they cover the Epstein arrest in the first place, then? And you're assuming that the only legal consequences for Epstein's associates will be in the court of public opinion.
Brandon Bell
Why'd the FBI arrest him in the first place, then?
Joshua Smith
*-legal*
Chase Moore
It's a safer assumption than thinking Bill Clinton is going to jail.
Wyatt Lee
You seriously think they're going to cover an Israeli act of war against multiple western countries and the fact that there really is a jewish deep state?
I'll get excited when old Hillbilly Clinton is doing the white Bronco slow motion police chase on the teevee. Until some big name fuckers actually get named and arrested, this is just one more giant nothingburger. inb4 Epstein weight lifting accident in lockup
