even Trump had supposedly broken contact with him long before then..
edit: considering Theil is also in there too. I wonder do they want to avoid revealing where Epstein's money went after he died?

How many times since 2015 has the word “unprecedented” been used in association with something he was involved in?

That there are actually still files to release is baffling. I assume the release was judiciously selective and that none of the files will implicate Trump, and all of them will implicate Democrats and people he doesn't like.
From the subheading of the fine article:
>> The Duke of York is named as a passenger on the sex offender's private jet in documents released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee in the US.
Unless there's some other group of Democrats who are releasing these documents, I doubt it'll be so selective as to avoid naming Trump and implicate many Democrats instead.
Yes, I'm a cynic, but if there wasn't much there they wouldn't be playing so many games.
Do we even trust what they're releasing isn't doctored or selected to be politically advantageous to those doing the releasing?
It's a nothing burger. Musk already said he was invited and declined, which matches what they found.
Even Trump admits he was friends with Epstein. If they actually had evidence of wrong doing, it would have been released a decade ago to the press.
Friends != guilty of anything. Democrats have been friends with evil dictators over the years and it's never mentioned again.
If you have proof, let's see it.
Weird demand to make considering you're defending a person (Trump) who could release the Epstein files and end this entire discussion at any time.
difficulty: impossible
The problem is that Epstein loved to hang around celebrities who presumably had no interest in his crimes, or who were only connected by financial matters.
There is a map of his known contacts. No implication. "We mapped Jeffrey Epstein's social network. Here's what we found." [0]
It is part of this article. [1]

1. This is a national security matter. Epstein's business, such as it was, wasn't pimping the underage to rich men, it was blackmailing for his own account and selling blackmail material to anyone willing to pay him enough. That means state actors. And that means we can't trust anyone who was in Epstein's circle with national security work.
2. It wasn't just underage females. Gay men can be blackmailed, too.
