A lot of people are missing some of the most important parts of the story:
1. Katie Couric and George Stephanouplous attended a Yom Kippur buffet in honor of Epstein at his NYC home just months after he was released from his 13-month Florida “punishment”, as supervised by the guards Epstein himself HIRED.
One hundred other friends attended that meal, and amazingly, many brought their kids.
2. The newest deal his lawyers proposed the other day, read EACH word slowly, now..!
“He will name some of the people who paid for sex in exchange for not more than 5 years”.
Parse EACH word, did it get by you, it’s just ONE word that is operative here:
PAID. Paid for sex. Not “later paid incredibly much in return for silence”. No, paid for SEX.
How likely is it that many of them paid..? Not many.
Why would he omit from his deal those who did NOT pay? Because those are the most important people and because those are nearly ALL of the people.
And most importantly:
Because omitting the NON payers from being named in Epstein’s deal preserves what is most valuable to those who are behind all this and those actually rule America —the precious blackmail material Epstein went to such pains to collect, the material that will bind together the powerful people who otherwise would hate each other’s guts and not work together.
The Big Wheels, the movers and shakers, are left aside so that in the future they can still be leveraged and relied upon. So that they can be called on for their precious, timely, high-level help in future intel ops; moving money around, opening accounts, vouching for the shadowy figures who must be used to do important, little-known things.
To wage wars.
To skew election results.
That’s actually a great point.
There’s a legal difference between a “paid” transaction in currency and all the other reasons for doing ‘business’ like this with powerful and well connected people where the transactions are in favors, promises, and connections.
"Some"? Perhaps he is looking for immunity from any he may overlook. Otherwise, unless all of "some" are dead and he seeks to protect their families, such a limitation would seem a real non-starter. Worse, it may only include those already known to the prosecuting team: i.e., a complete dodge.
Analyze his financials and tax returns to identify any quid pro quo from "Lolita guests" that later had dealings.
The prosecution's negotiating position will be greatly enhanced when it holds a couple of life sentences.
This will be entertaining.
