I'm wondering what kind of international incident this will cause. Who else is in there, it can't be just Americans?

Rich people are not an America-only issue.

Soup be thickening.

my personal objection.

releasing the Epstein's files will include people he wanted to target but never got anywhere.

however, it would be very clear that those people are innocent, and they're will be people in the files that were clearly diddling children.

Either the files should be released in full and the only consequence for people who casually met Epstein and never interacted with him will be some conspiracy nuts harassing them. or at worse censor the list for those names.

Also, just because there isn't a file named "Epstein's client list.docx" doesn't mean there isn't info about his clients.

He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.

Oh no, I thought King was one of the good ones. Is there still some hope? What was the context?

All these moves Kevin Spacey is doing is change search or AI results about him.

This statement and him acting in a movie about a man wrongly suspected of child abuse (The Guardian) seem like suggested actions by a PR firm.

Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman walk into an Irish pub.
