''That means that the theories alleging Epstein was operating some kind of operation to collect incriminating information for a foreign government (most notably the Israelis) has also been dismissed by the U.S. government.''

Thus we may now turn to Bismark's maxim, never believe anything until it's been officially denied', and rest assured that it’s true indeed.

In a case as controversial and sensitive as this as it involves pedophelia and blackmail at the highest levels of US government - the main character who is more then likely compromised and therefor a likely to be blackmailed should never be allowed to make decisions whether the evidence is admissabe or not - It only confirms a coverup at the highest levels.

Not releasing the Epstein files means that the blackmail will continue.

Absolutely! We Americans live in occupied territory and the Gestapo ICE are the occupying military force. Nothing American about them.

Where are these wives and girlfriends (of these men) who don't speak out? So much for all this rubbish 'feminism' in the USA!

One commentator noted the whole liberal Me Too community has been surprisingly quiet as well. I think much of the silence has to do — as with everything else — class.

It goes way back with CIA asset, Hugh Hefner. They were pals. The Trump empire was built then. And American beauty pageant

And, as Whitney Webb documents and tracks, even further back than Hefner and even the CIA.

Check out this recent review in the Guardian. Tim Weiner has a couple great books on the CIA. Well resourced and VERY readable. The CIA is the heart of the evil American empire.

Tim Weiner's 2007 book "Legacy of Ashes' is excellent and perhaps the most appropriately titled book ever.

As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it." I'm actually glad that I'm NOT in that club with those lowlife, sex-trafficking, child rapists and pedophiles. My question is why hasn't the American public rose up in large numbers and strung up those sick bastards who have violated innocent children and women yet? Why do we let the rich oligarchs and their politician-puppets get away with such sick illegal actions? We all must be held to account along with Trump and Epstein's long list of clients, IMO. We allow them continue the abuse and cover up their crimes. That makes us the American public as culpable as they are.

Many reasons come to mind, the main one is that money has replaced morality.

Yet another piece of American history that leaves me sickened. Pedophelia is one of those crimes and behaviors I do not understand. I’m a retired therapist of 45 years and we tend to see it all. Child abuse and molestation is one that leaves you empty. I cannot tell you how many college students I counseled that were victims. They are forever wounded… betrayal is one of those feelings you don’t forget and that can tear a person up. Throw on top the hypocrisy and betrayal of our so called presidents and all. Is anything real? Was anything we were told the truth? I hate this fucking country and its fucking history of war, violence, murder, greed, power and all sugar coated on 4th of July or Presidents’ Day. Give me a break. And athletes can’t kneel and Gaza is ok.
