Oh that explains a lot.

Anyway, JD Vance, who has now converted to Catholicism, has also embraced his heritage as the descendant of a people who became famous for their fierceness due to their penchant for murdering Catholics and Native Americans in the name of "liberty." eaworldview.com/2024/07/j-d-...

Later, an email emerged showing that after the scheduled visit to the island, Botstein wrote to Epstein. "I had a great time. The place is great, and thanks to everyone," Botstein wrote. Which would be a weird way to talk about a trip you spent isolated and ill. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

However, student newspaper the Bard Free Press shows photos of Botstein meeting the helicopter on the 2013 trip, and giving a tour of Bard campus to Epstein as well as two female guests who arrived with the financier, described as "young" and "girls." www.thedailycatch.org/articles/jef...

After it was revealed that Epstein made two helicopter trips to Bard campus in 2013 and 2016, landing on a lawn on campus in front of students, Botstein said he was not present at the helicopter landing. He also said that he never saw Epstein with any young female assistants.

In Jan 2015, Botstein wrote to console Epstein over "tabloid gossip" about allegations of Epstein and Andrew Windsor's alleged abuses. In Dec 2018, after a Miami Herald story on Epstein's crimes, Botstein wrote to Epstein to offer support. "I hope you are holding up as well as can be expected.”

However, emails from Botstein to Epstein show that Botstein was aware of media coverage of Epstein's sexual abuse and trafficking of children, and offered Epstein moral support following such coverage on at least two occasions.

2. Botstein has claimed he was not aware of the extent or nature of Epstein's crimes, considering him merely "an ordinary sex offender." "“I was not following the revelatory closing chapter of Mr. Epstein’s life and the extent of his crimes until he was arrested in 2019," Botstein has said.

However, Botstein wrote warmly and repeatedly to the pedophile about the men's "friendship." In 2013 he wrote "I greatly cherish this new friendship." In 2015, he wrote, "I value our friendship." In 2016, he wrote, regarding a possible donation from Epstein, "Friendship, not money, is important."

1. First, Botstein has misstated the nature of his relationship with Epstein. "My interactions with Epstein were always and only for the sole purpose of soliciting donations for the College," Botstein has said. "Mr. Epstein was not my friend." www.wamc.org/news/2026-02...

It was inevitable. What kind of people play this "sport"?
