Michael is an exceptional journalist. Everybody is so scared of the pedo stigma associated with Epstein that they follow the crowd even if it's completely irrational

I was surprised that I was able to actually get it since I cancelled my WSJ subscription years ago and am unable to read most of the stuff they publish anymore. A very good article. The Epstein shit has turned into a witch hunt. No, Epstein's actual crimes were not "horrific". That's a media stretch. He pled guilty to solicitation of a prostitute who was a minor. Of course. Ashley Davis was not a prostitute. She was just a teenage girl who wanted to make a little money and who made the mistake of accepting his proposition to have sex the day before she turned 18.

I'm glad I read this. I did not think that you would use the word "horrific" to describe Epstein's crimes. So glad you didn't actually do so.

Excellent! Congratulations!

I think we need to do a special ops mission to capture that lifetime achievement award out of Julie K Brown’s domicile and deliver it to Mr. Tracey for his excellent investigative work!

Agreed 💯

Her and Sharon Churcher were a huge problem!

The Hollywood Reporter article was surprisingly good faith.

Let me speculate that one possible reason all the women’s faces were covered is that, without it, the photos would look like ordinary party snapshots with smiling faces. The black squares add an ominous feeling to the images.

By the way, MT, I recently did a search for something, and the unredacted list of victims Edwards sent to the AUSA for South Florida came up. There are 31 names on there and one only identified by initials. That list usually comes up with all the names blacked out. I assume it's the name of girls who received payouts from the victims' compensation fund Epstein was required to set up.

I saw a video clip of Britney Spears singing with Michael Jackson. Can we consider that she is in the Jackson files? All this mass hysteria must collapse at some point...

This is great. With the WSJ and recent converts like Batya Ungar-Sargon, maybe your Heraclian efforts are slowly convincing the normies that the QAnon(azation) of this topic was silly

Wow! I’ll read it as soon as I can. I’m delightfully shocked that the frumpy WSJ, which I no longer subscribe to, is publishing you. Very happy about this. Kathryn from Brooklyn.

Very nice Michael,

Sticking to your guns is the best policy in journalism as well as in life. Hats off to you.

Judge Richard M. Berman that “transparency CANNOT come at the expense of the privacy, safety, and protection of sexual abuse and sex trafficking victims.” I've worked extensively with battered women. Women who've been strangled, punched, burned, pushed, kicked. Battered women don't recieve this sacred cow treatment UNLESS there's a sex crime attached. * Australia. Now call me a weirdo, but I'd be an Esptein victim over living with a violent male, whose been locked up multiple times for assault, ASPD (Anti Social Personality Disorder) style any day.

day.

Side note, while I'm unimpressed with Trump's war hawkery, the man is upon election enacted legislation to keep " trans women" (aka) men outta female prisons. AND even feminists ONLY talk about this in terms of the potential for SA. Ummm do you people actually understand physical violence is a thing? That VIOLENCE can cause death, brain injury etc. Most rapes/ sex assaults aren't violent.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was skeptical you'd pander to normies like that.

Israel wants to thank you, Michael, for making possible Operation Epstein Fury by heroically debunking the ridiculous notion that Trump is attacking Iran for the benefit of Israel because he is being blackmailed with Epstein's secretly recorded videos of him sexually abusing young teenagers. We all know that it didn't happen, couldn't have happened, and even it did happen it's stil a stupid conspiracy theory. Let's bury those Epstein files ASAP. It's what God wants.
