And the left is just saying it's all a lie or there's no proof at all, otherwise Obama would be in prison. I'm not holding my breath on any perp walks, but I'll at least give them time. It has to go to the DOJ, Tulsi isn't slapping cuffs on anywhere herself ffs.

Bondi's only redemption in the eyes of many MAGA may be to put the screws to Obama

Having those fuckers nervous is a win.
 
Gas can lawsuits bankrupted the biggest American manufacturer (something like 75% of the market) a while back because there really was no 100% safe design for a container that you pour gasoline out of. People would do really dumb things like pour gasoline on a live fire and then when they were horribly killed or burned, the gas can manufacturer would get sued - even with comparative fault, damages in burn lawsuits are so high that multi-million dollar verdicts were common.

Rather than regulating the shit out of them, Congress should have passed some kind of targeted damage caps or immunity for gas can manufacturers.
 
part of interview from one of Epstein's attorneys:

“The conspiracy theorists, I hate to say ... are never going to be satisfied. If you produce something, they'll say, 'Well, there must be something more. They're holding back.' And on the left. They don't care about the issues. They simply want to sow dissension, by the way, they ought to be careful. They may rue the day that they got any documents, because if there ever were such a list, they'd come up with a lot more of their friends on it than [President] Donald Trump's friends,” Schoen said during an appearance on “Saturday Agenda.”

Schoen, who was Epstein's attorney for only nine days before Epstein died, said there was never any “such list” of individuals that Epstein may have been blackmailing in compromising positions. “And these so-called stories are non-stories. For The Wall Street Journal or any other paper to run a piece that Pam Bondi told President Trump that his name appears — that's not news. There have been documents out there for years. President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, like many people with Jeffrey Epstein, had a friendship a long time ago, decades before any of this information came out. President Trump, unlike many of the other wealthy and powerful people, cut off his friendship with him for reasons that he felt were appropriate,” he added.

An attorney for some of the victims said pretty much the same thing. Having trouble finding the article now but it came out a couple of weeks ago.
 
Finally found it!

What we know and don't know about Jeffrey Epstein, according to key victims' attorney | ABC Audio Digital Syndication

"Jeffrey Epstein was the pimp and the john. He was his own No. 1 client," Edwards told ABC News. "Nearly all of the exploitation and abuse of all of the women was intended to benefit only Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual desires."

Edwards describes the enigmatic Epstein as living, essentially, two separate lives: one in which he was sexually abusing women and girls "on a daily basis," and another in which he associated with politicians, royalty, and titans of business, academia, and science.

"For the most part, those two worlds did not overlap. And where they overlapped, in the instances they overlapped, it seems to be a very small percentage," Edwards said. "There were occasions where a select few of these men engaged in sexual acts with a select few of the girls that Jeffrey Epstein was exploiting or abusing -- primarily girls who were over the age of 18."

"That conduct was coercive, it was exploitative, and it was bad. But it's a small fraction of the men he was associated with," Edwards said. "And he was abusing hundreds of women, if not a thousand. And it's a very small fraction of those women that he was sending to men. That conduct was secondary to his abusive conduct. [Epstein] abused all of these women."

Edwards said he is bound by attorney-client privilege and cannot ethically reveal the names of any of Epstein's alleged associates without permission from his clients. But he said he has seen no indication that Epstein kept a list of those men, or that he made it a practice to use those instances to blackmail or extort the men, even though those men may have been legitimately concerned that Epstein had compromising information that he could use against them.

"It's difficult to even discern, when he would send a woman to one of his friends, whether that was even a motivation. What he was not is a person on the top of a sex trafficking operation that was sending women to powerful people around the world so that he could make money. It was not a business," Edwards said. "And I think the few examples that we have, the known examples, have led to this belief that he must have been doing that with all of the women that he was abusing. That must have just been his gig. But that wasn't what he was doing on a daily basis. He's a sexual abuser and predator himself."

If Epstein kept a list of those men, Edwards said he's not seen it.

"Did Jeffrey write the names of these people down? I've never seen that. I only know of certain of these individuals because of representing clients," Edwards said. "I've never seen a list of people that Jeffrey Epstein kept that would say, 'Here's a list of men that I've sent women to,' or a mix-and-match where it's like, 'I sent this woman to this man.'"

"That's just not something that he was keeping," Edwards said. "And it would be highly, highly unlikely that Jeffrey Epstein would keep a list of the people that he sent these women to. I'd imagine he would just remember it. It isn't that many women, and it isn't that many men."
