Epstein’s first indictment was 20 years ago. This network has been operating for so long that there are multiple heavily legally vetted books about it, including two written by me. Anyone whose first urge was to dismiss the case likely has no problem with child rape and trafficking. They approve.

The Dems should invent a board game where voters get their donor lists and a list of predators from the Epstein files and see how many matches they can make. Voters can play it on the kitchen table so it's a "kitchen-table issue".
I cannot stress enough this is a totally made up conundrum and you do not actually need to field test if talking about how our entire government is controlled by child rapists is interesting.

![Jeffrey sat next to me and put his hand on my back and looked at me with a certain kind of sincerity I hadn' t seen in him before. […] "I hope you know my appreciation for your embracing of my lifestyle, you have been achieving a name for yourself among the friends I have introduced you to. Everybody says basically the same thing about you, the same thing I believe. You are a delightfully funny girl who has developed into a mature graceful young woman and I could think of nobody else I' d rather have a child than with than you." […]
Ghislaine made the finishing touches with the business end of the deal starting with the pros before the cons "You would have around the clock nannies to help you. Jeffrey would pay for a mansion of your choice in either Palm Beach or New York" and as if the drumrolls were beckoning "and... you would have a hefty monthly allowance from Jeffrey's bank account" Astonished at their first offers I nearly took the bait. Then she continued to finish the terns of our pre -agreement with `But you would have to travel with the child where and when Jeffrey wanted you to be, and most importantly you would have to sign a contract stating that Jeffrey and you are not monogamous and that the child would belong in Jeffrey's custody in the event of a falling out between the two of you." She kind of threw that last one in there quickly, as if she could get away with me not hearing that I would basically have to relinquish the rights to my own flesh in blood and surrender them to a life of servitude and abuse with these people.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:un7ax3cmaqemchu5tsqnymts/bafkreifxtr3u26ds5j47ycb3ytjwdsjdwjkgdhyphelxgsbk5sr7yj2m2y@jpeg)
