We already know that Prince Andrew was heavily involved but who else do you think will be named?

    The disclosure isn’t complete, it’s only the people who haven’t been excluded in previous orders.

    As all the perpetrators are rich and can afford fancy lawyers, that mainly just leaves the victims.

    So yeah, the victims are the ones that will get fucked over. Again.

    About the same as most big scandals. Lots of noise and very few consequences. The damage control has somewhat started already. LOTS of people were “associated” with Epstein but that’s not a true implication of what their association was.

    Anybody important will have had their name removed from the list already. After seeing the fallout for Prince Nonce of Nonceville, nobody else wants to be tarred with that brush

      I mean, its been public knowledge that Andrew is to be named. Or at least that he’s sweating it out

          I just mean everyone’s implying all the rich and truly awful have made sure they are off the record by now which is clearly not the case with Andrew, leading me to question the sincerity or validity of that speculation hehe

            Ahh, got you now, sorry for the confusion. I think Prince Nonce didn’t have the advanced notice (or the social equity (he was already disliked before this came out)) to buy his way out. Whereas people being announced this week have had months of advanced notice

    Just like they’ve always done, they’ll throw a couple of their own to the wolves to distract the pitchfork weilding townsfolk (that’s us) just long enough for us to stick our heads back down into our smartphones and gadgets and forget the entire business.

    Just like the sacrificed Weinstein and Spacey to our public ire and then quietly stayed under the radar long enough to forget how many other celebrities are doing the same thing.

    The powerful stay powerful by distraction and subterfuge. This will be no different.

    I think our taxes just paid for a large shipment of sharpies to be sent to the Dept. of Justice building, that’s what I think.

    The American public. Because it will be yet another in a long line of ‘leaks’ that seem to go nowhere. Powerful people will continue getting away with it.

    It doesn’t matter.

    We know Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were very involved, and the partisans of this country would vote for both again at the drop of a hat.

      And his followers will excuse it in one of two ways:

      1. It’s all fake. They’ll claim that the Democrats swapped the real list for the released “fake” list and that the real list has Biden’s name, not Trump’s. Their proof? Some YouTube video linked to from a Facebook post where a white guy wearing sunglasses in his truck says he saw the real list with Biden’s name on it!

      2. Trump was undercover. They’ll claim that Trump was actually working undercover to expose these people. Being on the flight logs “proves” that he was only there to spy on these people. Why? Non-specific Excuse! Therefore, Trump’s name on Epstein’s list is actually a good thing and they support him more!

      Meanwhile, the rest of us will scream in frustration.

    Let’s take a moment to remember that Epstein didn’t kill himself.

    Nobody that matters is gonna be on that list

    This’ll have as many consecutive as the Panama papers. A journalist or two will be executed and a scapegoat or two will face a slap on the wrist.

    People will have forgotten about it a few weeks after it’s released, and nothing will happen to anyone in the report. “Justice” is dead, unless you’re a commoner.
