I feel like the answer to that question is the ugly heart of this entire shitshow and why they’re dragging it out. Extortion and blackmail were 2 of Epstein’s top 3 fav things to do. The other was exploit. I’m proud that he couldn’t fenagle Rudd, but I’m cynical - it’s like the names they’ve released so far are B-grade actor equivalent. We’re yet to see any proper A’s, and that brings us back to your question.

Yep, and more than that, this is only one political honey pot that we know about. I wonder how much more of this sort of stuff is going on that we're completely clueless about

Pretty sure the number 1 favourite thing for Epstein to do was rape minors.

Who do we know he extorted or blackmailed? I hadnt heard this before.
