🧵 The Epstein files should not be understood merely as another grotesque sex scandal involving wealthy and powerful individuals.
Their real political significance lies elsewhere.

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.
