This appears to have been an operation to entrap the richm and powerful. Why else would their hosts have chosen underage girls? Attractive young women of age would have been just as alluring.
How could the rich and powerful have been so reckless and foolish? I am not excusing their depravity. I am wondering if Epstein is the one who organized this, or if there is someone bigger than Epstein behind it.
Who knows? Maybe they were all high on adrenochrome. The rich and powerful think they are not really subject to the same rules the rest of us are. Unfortunately, I think, for the most part, they aren’t. Also, maybe they get some sort of rush, from tasting the forbidden fruit (underage girls)
.....”How could the rich and powerful have been so reckless and foolish?”.....
Because Power corrupts. Anyone who believes differently hasn’t been paying attention. Politics, religion, sports, government, entertainment, business, armed forces:... it doesn’t matter what arena you’re talking about, they are all riddled with the kind of seedy, sleazy, decadent, dodgy, depraved, immoral, corrupt behavior that somehow gets a free pass when it involves the wealthy and powerful elite in America....Epstein was just a part of the powerful, wealthy, elite segment of society....This is not a minor incident involving minor players but powerful men, insulated from accountability who indulge their base urges. .....This is the heart of darkness....America’s seedy underbelly.
Remember the “DC Madam” who was charged with operating a phone-order sex business? Her clients included thousands of White House officials, lobbyists, and Pentagon, FBI, and IRS employees, as well as prominent lawyers, none of whom were ever exposed or held accountable. Power corrupts. Worse, as 19th-century historian Lord Acton concluded, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
For every Jeffrey Epstein (or Bill Clinton or Harvey Weinstein or Roger Ailes or Bill Cosby ) who eventually gets called out for his sexual misbehavior, there are hundreds — thousands — of others in the American police state who are getting away with murder — in many cases, literally — simply because they can.

Heard Epstein insisted one sex 3 times a day. If the girls didn’t perform to his standards she would have to finish for them.
They never thought Hillary would lose the election.
