    I imagine most of them didn’t know that child sex abuse was going on.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/14/more-than-300-pennsylvania-priests-committed-sexual-abuse-over-decades

    Even setting aside Epstein, this abuse is fully rampant in the upper eschalons of American society.

    And Brooks was going out with these guys, he was meeting their second and third and forth wives. He was writing long winded articles about Eastern Europe and the scandals of human trafficking, with the spin being a need for more US intervention to restore law and order in post-Soviet States.

    Epstein was probably careful about who he let into the inner circle.

    Nothing in the info dumps we’ve received suggests Jeff was particularly discrete. He bragged about who he knew and slept with. Ghislaine bragged on his behalf. It was a selling point.

    He had a plane christened The Lolita Express. Nothing about this screams subtlety
