As I said. Not about sex crimes. It’s about espionage.

Not just about espionage.

Think about the business moguls targeted.

I’ll bet aquiring corporate secrets/proprietary info were also on Epstein’s to do list.

But unless corporate espionage is criminal, that’s a civil case.

And you can bet you won’t sew those people in civil court.

Well, lookee here. From AI, FWIW...

Corporate espionage is primarily a serious criminal offense in the U.S. under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. ยงยง 1831โ€“1839), which punishes the theft of trade secrets to benefit foreign entities or for commercial gain. Penalties include up to 15 years in prison and millions in fines. It can also be prosecuted civilly.

Note the timing of that act.

What a coinkydink.

Holy cow, did Deep State plan well.

Talk about an incentive to keep yer trap shut if you submitted to blackmail...
