You should send this piece to The Bulwark orThe Lincoln Project and get interviewed by them. I am not a conspiracy theorist; but I remember Dershowitz from the O.J. Simpson trial. It was so shocking, it was so totally wrong. It was bizarre he has a talent for twisting the picture…that is how trump talks . You have to twist yourself in a pretzel. And now lying, cruelty stupidity, vicious arrogance & loss of civility are in a boon time!!Dershowitz was leading the pack way back then

You nailed it once again. I don’t know how they sleep at night. I guess they don’t worry about answering to a much higher calling when it’s their time. Or will they finally give the truth on their deathbed? I doubt it, may the good Lord do his thing!

Good job. You’re way ahead of me in terms of understanding and how you’ve laid this out. I can only offer a couple comments.

Epstein may have killed himself, but if so it was because it was coerced with no way out.

I took Trump words to Ghislaine Maxwell to be an overt threat. It was a combination 1 An opportunity to make himself look like a tough guy in the mob way. 2. He is very concerned about what she can say and wants to avoid at all cost..

If anybody else, these words would be a big deal. In, Trump‘s world it’s just Donald being Donald. I’m completely fed up with that.

I hope these make the info a little bit simpler, but I’m always open to edits or information I haven’t read. Keep it coming!

Alan Dershowitz represented Donald Trump during Trump’s second impeachment trial in 2020. Big duh 🙄 that Dershowitz would cover their asses. While this Lolita express stuff was actually happening there were stories and pictures of these people all together. NO ONE DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

Their relationship was academic? What exactly does “academic” mean in this context, Alan?

When the “suicide” was reported , my first thought was that something happened . This is because of my prior career and knowing historical behavior of trump . Now with what is occurring , and knowing that original documents released of all people involved had trump listed . With the actions of trump it is clear a cover up is being attempted , and the cover up is always worse than the original act. This all is continuing context that is escalating ( 1 minute video edit to 3 plus minutes). Continuing escalation of new material and findings also suggest cover up is occurring as if nothing to see , you would not have escalation and new findings occurring.

Also “academic” relationship taken in collegial ranks does not preclude romantic or sexual relationships . It is well known historical issue of teacher- student relationships in colleges and the ethical dilemmas that continue to be debated and Ivey league schools have some of the most traditional cultures.

Has nothing to do with sexual relations with 12, 13 and 14 yr olds. 😳

Because clearly there’s no evidence.

Yes that is why comment he made was showing avoidance and also to attempt to distract . He came from academic environment and Ivey leagues. I find with narcissism that people such as him and Trump display, every statement is a confession.

Digging a little deeper, it's wild that Epstein was linked with Harvard. He had no college degree, and yet still got a job teaching at the Dalton School (K-12, $67K/year), and then lectured at Ivy Leagues. He must have been a smooth talker.

This is connection point . When it does not make sense then it should not have happened . I am in academia and have a doctorate and to teach in college to be a lecturer you need a masters degree and professor it is a doctorate. This a the rabbit hole of a cover up and the cover up did not start with trump. He is simply adding onto a cover up that has occurred for many years.

Yeah, I've thought about investigating this one, because he did end up having improper relations with younger girls at the school where he wasn't qualified to teach, and the person who hired him quit soon after and hasn't been held accountable, nor has the school.

Payroll records are public information . Pedophiles often want into academic settings to have access to potentially groom victims . In K-12 administrators receive training in identifying grooming and do background checks on applicants . Epstein was a pedophile as found from his early convictions.

What is sad is that he will defend these morally bankrupt individuals; it makes him no better than them.
