I've said this many times before, but today is a good time to say it again: any person—Democrat or Republican—who abused underage girls as part of Jeffrey Epstein's decades-long sex trafficking scheme should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Party is *immaterial* here.
1/ It's abhorrent for *anyone* to be saying, "Let's only investigate the Trump angle" *or* "Let's only investigate the Clinton angle" *or* "Let's do something besides investigating *every* possible angle." It'd be abhorrent to shut down *any* evidence-based investigative inquiry.
2/ There's sufficient evidence of Epstein's ties to the Middle East (including him saying he was investing $18B for a Middle Easterner tied to "oil"; his FBI-seized "Saudi passport"; and his FBI-seized framed photo of MBS) for that to be pursued whether you think it silly or not.
3/ I'm astonished by those with no info on a case, or reporting on a case, who ridicule promising investigative leads because they've decided, on no basis, they sound implausible. *Everyone* should agree that *every* evidence-based lead should be followed by media and/or the law.
4/ You have *government officials* telling media that they were told Epstein was working with US intelligence. You have, in Epstein, a man who had blackmail material on some of the most powerful men in the world. And Epstein was *literally* accused of being part of a conspiracy.
5/ So yeah, if your cousin gets arrested for a DWI and starts claiming his case potentially involves an international conspiracy that includes political blackmail, feel free to call him a conspiracy theorist. If you say that regarding this case, you're an abject moron, I'm sorry.
