Practicing actual journalism is so rare after 7yrs that people are startled by Tracey’s Q’s. Lol

GOD BLESS MICHAEL TRACY! A TRUE OBJECTIVE FACTUAL JOURNALIST. Right wing idiots won't like him because he's blowing the myth of Epstein trafficking innocent children, when in fact most of them were willing prostitutes and within the age of consent give or take. Epstein's accusers are gold digging WHORES NOW and THEN

CNN carried this bullshit live. They insinuate there was a sex ring involving infants. This is an insane conspiracy

Yea, why were all the new victims like 25 when the alleged crimes were perpetrated? This supposed child sex blackmail ring is missing every ingredient. Where are the children, sex, and blackmail? I’d like to see some evidence.

Because its bullshit that’s why. And its the very same grifters who are screaming about genocide.

I was surprised to see Haley Robson there. Don’t get me wrong I still think she was a victim, but I have a tough time believing a lot of the more public, “big name” accusers who seem to be piggybacking on the fact that Epstein was a perverted creep, which is a huge leap to “child sex trafficking ring”. Funny how stories change over time.

You keep asking important questions, Michael.

That’s all it takes.

I don't understand how a 21 year old can be "groomed."

I don't see what's wrong with asking questions.

I think you could say most of the young women were groomed, but my biggest issue is the public these days blowing it way out of proportion.

That’s bad, YES, but not “20 yrs in prison” bad. Moral panics really erode justice.

I DON'T buy the groomed thing, nor do I think these hoes are w0e-MEN' lol. I get the technicality of the law may have been broken, but as you rightfully said: It's been blown WAY out of proportion.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. But when I hear about specific women and their backgrounds, like ones who lived the high life, worked as top tier models or escorts, it makes me think how much of this is regret, or retrospective "ick", or just all about the money?

Are you saying you were entrapped by today's Epstein press conference?

On a serious note, I heard someone claim that you are being paid by Alan Dershowitz. I personally strongly doubt that is true, but can you categorically deny it? That kind of accusation made in front of the D.C. press corps seems defamatory.

BINGO. Right wing SIMPS have zero nuance to their thought process. I've had doubts about the severity of the Epstein conspiracy for a long time and now we're finding out most of these HOES were within the age of consent give or take. Some of them are still hoes LOL.

NOPE. Epstein thing is WAY overblown. NONE of Epstein's hoes were victims. NONE were children. MOST were within the age of consent which is 16 in most of the US

Zionists are the only righteous Nation on the planet aside from Donald Trump leading America yet he called off finalizing the war with Iran and now they're back, first it was full surrender and then unprecedented implemented ceasefire,

Look what your girlfriend's in Gaza are doing to your other girlfriends in Gaza

Fuck anti-zionists fuck Islam fuck fat Palestine fuck divisive cunts like Massey and you and the adulteress harlot manwrestler thing mjt, that crucifixionist cunt that makes Christianity look more worse than it already does. Republicans are supposed to have scruples and we've got Massey who voted against consequences for those who went online with victim porn and mjt is a victim of her own self-made porn

Looking forward to a international unified Christianity conference to decide what the fuck are you all about besides being deranged about Jews all day everyday 🤦🏻🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏾🤷🏼‍♀️

As they single-handedly take on 57 Islamic Nations cheering for the West's decline, Jihadi enabler kuntz like you and your ilk can fuck right off in a big bowl of cannibal Christ on the wrong Sabbath and look at your dump on Monday morning and say holy shit my failed Messiah has extra texture today and stank 🙄

Michael — your long-form reporting is rare and crucial, but it’s getting buried in the noise. The way to cut through is to change the format. Think Portraits of Grief from the New York Times: one page, one player. Photo, name, and the real story of what actually happened to them in the Epstein case. Do it for the “victims,” the lawyers, the enablers — each in their own snapshot.

Your essays are meticulous, but most people won’t sit through 20 pages. Short, stand-alone bios would travel everywhere. People could copy and paste them on their own accounts, giving your reporting a reach it can’t achieve in long form.

Here’s the format I mean: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/pages/national/portraits/?p=041&utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/pages/national/portraits/?p=041&utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/pages/national/portraits/?p=041&utm_source=chatgpt.com.

Fren, you seem to be an alright person for you to offer this American journalist that type of advice. That demonstrates that you care about serious information and the best way to convey it. I hope Michael Tracey sees your message and takes heed to your advice.

I would like for you to help me. I want to alert this American journalist that I too was "kicked out" of a public Q&A event held in the auditorium of a public college for merely asking questions and talking (no threats, no profanity, no disrespect), but more than "kicked out" I was, on the spot, SENTENCED SIX MONTHS IN PRISON, WITHOUT ANY DUE PROCESS WHATSOEVER. This happened to me on September 11, 2024. The United States Supreme Court is set to hear the case on the 29th of this month. Search through the Docket Search for Patrick L Booker v State of South Carolina, No 24-7442 on the Supreme Court website. Read my petition for writ of certiorari.

I want Michael Tracey to cover my case of being kicked out and imprisoned for SIX MONTHS WITHOUT ANY DUE PROCESS WHATSOEVER for simply exercising my First Amendment rights to free speech (by asking questions) during a public Q&A session held inside of a public college.

I need your help because you obviously are intelligent, interested in serious matters, and able to offer advice. I need help getting my case online exposure. The world needs to know about how our government officials are unlawfully censoring it's own citizens by kicking out and, in some cases, imprisoning citizens who dare dissent in public gatherings.

My email is patrickbooker85@gmail.com, I will send you everything and let you see exactly what happened.

Let me guess – you got kicked out because you said it’s all Virginia Guiffre’s fault and Epstein is innocent? You’re a joke

SIMP. Virginia Guiffre was >SEVENTEEN when she met Epstein. That IS A LEGAL ADULT in many states in fact 16 is a legal adult in the UK. Virginia Guiffre offed herself because she hit the wall and got FAT., WHORES are not innocent simp.

NOPE. Michael Tracy is a rare truthful and objective journalist. There is MORE evidence that Epstein's HOES were NOT innocent children. And most of them are LYING for money, the same reason prostitution is a w0e-MAN'S default nature. btw 16 is the age of consent in most of the US., check my notes.

Ridiculous all the fools believe the 'children were trafficked' propaganda, when more & more it's become obvious Epstein's HOES were willing participants and most were within the age of consent which is 16 in MOST of the US. Check my notes.
