If he wanted to get out he'd never get out by talking.
If he wanted to stay alive he'd never stay alive by talking.

(16,616 posts)I can't think of one thing Jeffrey Epstein had to look forward to. He was a private guy who controlled every single aspect of his life. I could never even imagine him submitting to a public trial. He hated scrutiny. Like the above poster said, he was at heart a controlling bully.

(28,136 posts)What about those who helped him ?
What about a trial for those who raped underage girls?

As for the rest
Let's hope they keep digging

(16,616 posts)Remember what Alexander Acosta said when asked why he didn't go harder on Epstein? He said something like, "I was told to lay off Epstein because Epstein is 'Intelligence'". I've never heard an explanation of what this exactly means, but it's hard to forget once you've heard it.
So there's an open question about who Jeffrey Epstein was above and beyond the child-abusing sex trafficker, and also how he got so much money when no currency traders ever heard of this guy.
EDIT: exact quote: I Was Told Epstein 'Belonged to Intelligence' And to Leave It Alone.

(30,741 posts)hired Epstein to teach at the Dalton school, even though Epstein lacked a degree. Wasn't Barr Senior involved in Intelligence?
