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

Mr. Raven's avatar

Yes how "irrational" that we want to do about the child rape of our ruling elite. Have you no shame?

Marco's avatar

Your comment is violence. See?

Yadidya (YDYDY)'s avatar

I don't see it but I think you committed a racism and he committed a terrorism.

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.

Mr. Raven's avatar

Yes child rape and trafficking children is horrific you monsters.

Sam McGowan's avatar

You idiot, you have no clue what Epstein actually did. There was no child rape and no trafficking of children. People like you will believe anything.

Mr. Raven's avatar

LOL, yes the volumes of witness testimony and revealed emails, and photos of these douchebags “partying” with underage girls is just a plot against the saintly Epstein, right?

Ghastly, and you wonder why Jews are correctly loathed?

Here’s the grand jury testimony by which Epstein was convicted. The first girl interviewed was Saige Gonzales, whose experience tarted the investigation. The second was Ashley Evans under whose testimony Epstein was charged with solicitation of a prostitute. Alexandra Hall was subpoenaed but failed to appear. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24785612-epstein-transcripts?embed=true&responsive=false&sidebar=false

Have you ever actually read them? I have, so has Michael Tracey. They've been available for years -

Sam's avatar

Don’t bother engaging with that guy. He was seig heil-ing on the last livestream in the chat. His mind is already set. He has full-blown stage-4 nazi conspiratardium. It’s terminal.

Mr. Raven's avatar

Look at the note I just posted of Trump and Epstein oogling girl children you pedo defending subhuman scumfuck. We’ll gas “people” like you along with your Jew masters.

Sam McGowan's avatar

It's people like you who are the reason this country has gone so far offtrack. You believe conspiracists and quote site and depend on sites like the Huffington Post. NOT A SINGLE girl testifed that she was ever trafficked. That all came from Virginia Roberts.

Sam McGowan's avatar

Yes, but you obviously have never read them. I HAVE and so has Michael Tracey. Here are the interviews. Knock yourself out - https://sa15.org/public-records/

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.

Yadidya (YDYDY)'s avatar

Haven't read the article but am I the only one who finds black squares erotic?

You know that scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey?

I came.

Ted's avatar

No, I don’t find it erotic. In fact, smiling men next to black squares make normal party pics look creepy to me.

Yadidya (YDYDY)'s avatar

Men? Primates yes, but men? Unless you're claiming that the tool creation is where Man Began.

I like the idea, very philosophical. Thanks for sharing.

Ben's avatar

The Hollywood Reporter article was surprisingly good faith.

Sheldon Richman's avatar

Excellent! Congratulations!

Kathryn Hennessy's avatar

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.

Mr. Raven's avatar

Of course you have you evil Mossad cut out.

Yadidya (YDYDY)'s avatar

What's a mossad cut out? And does it offer dental?

Very nice Michael,

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

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...

kapock's avatar

Is “pedophile” Michael Jackson as definitely factually established as most people believe it to be?

reachspike's avatar

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.

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.

Sam McGowan's avatar

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.

Michael Tracey's avatar

I think I've seen this, but just in case, can you pass it along to me via Substack DM or email?

Yadidya (YDYDY)'s avatar

Hey, does Substack DM work and should I have written you there instead of here? I hate the app but if it's useful I'll reconsider.

Sam's avatar

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!

Nicole's avatar

Agreed 💯

Her and Sharon Churcher were a huge problem!

Magic Girl's avatar

Great thing that your work on analyzing the Epstein Files was FINALLY published in a major US mainstream publication, Michael. Yes, the redactions are enough to make one go batshit crazy. It's designed so that the true nature of the Epstein Saga, whatever it actually was, is never going to be disclosed to the public. Oh, and this is the first I've heard of the adult woman who was involved with Epstein for 13 years claiming he had convinced her that we was the "messiah." Sounds more to me like that was a consensual relationship. Thirteen years! Head scratcher to me is what some women will do for love.

Andrew Murphy's avatar

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

Michael Tracey's avatar

I like Batya, but she's pretty much just the inverse of Epstein maximalists taking the position they do because of antipathy to Israel.

The free 'gift' link didn't work for this non-subscriber, but I was able to access the column through my local public library's website. I must say that Michael Tracey's reporting on the Epstein story attracts the craziest commenters I've encountered on Substack.

Michael Tracey's avatar

You should see X!

Koshmap's avatar

In case you haven't seen this Epstein survivor yet, who is also one of Bradley Edward's clients: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaaF_Yy6NY4&t=3529s. Her story is pitiful, but she only had one bad encounter with Epstein, and if she was victimized by anybody, it was her parents, the girlfriends who 'pimped' her to Epstein (and who seem like typical 'mean girls'), her ex-husband, and her own bad decisions. Bridget Phetasy seems like the perfect person to go to get some perspective on the type of destructive female behavior exhibited by this particular 'victim.'
