Opinion Why did some public figures continue associating with Epstein after his conviction?

[Hellowhosthat]

Because they're a bunch of dirty bastards.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Every town and city in the country/world has underaged hookers. They didnt need Epstein for that. Watch Soft White Underbelly on Youtube.

They didn't want young girls off a street corner. They wanted virginal girls to abuse, terrify and more. These elites think they deserve the most, even when it comes to their depraved abuse. It wasn't just about srxual gratification with the girls (and noys), it was about power and taking something sacred: their innocence. They can't get that with a girl being pimped on a street corner, as disgusting as it is to think about. Not good enough. They wanted MORE.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Gates is the most shameless in this regard. Epstein was also still close friends with Ehud Barak and Les Wexner I believe.

Also Epsteins island imported 6 barrels of hydrochloric acid. Just saying.

If the DOJ actually cared they'd have cadaver dogs, ground penetrating radar and earth movers on the island like yesterday.

 

[Absolut]

My guess is to keep him friendly and not crush them with what he knows about them.

 

[azerty]

2008 was also a lifetime ago in terms of social media and cancel culture, they most likely didn't care about his convictions, tought it wouldn't come back on them, tought they were above any kind of repercussions (and they kind of are)

 

[Evbo]

It seems that simple to me. Either that or they were ok with a guy banging kids if it got them other things they wanted either one is just as gross to me. Could you imagine a friend telling you, "Yea that guy rapes kids but he has really good connections".

I imagine if you're a legitimate pyschopath you associating with a Speedo as simply a means to whatever end you're aiming for. Or you're such a path you see it an a sexual proclivity that some people are in to. OR you want to fuck kids as well.. OR he has kompromat on you and you have to do as he says, framing it as a friendship

Why Were So Many Powerful Men Comfortable With Epstein After His Arrest?​

That's why it all comes down to that original court case​

[Koya]

According to the recently released Epstein files, there are documented contacts, emails, and correspondence involving several high-profile individuals including Bill Gates and Elon Musk, after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
Are there *verifiable statements from these individuals explaining why they maintained any contact with Epstein after 2008, and what reasons they publicly offered at the time or afterward?

While Donald Trump’s name appears in documents released after 2008, there is currently no publicly verified evidence that he communicated with or met Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
The references appear to be third-party mentions rather than records of direct contact.

Confirmed or Reported Interactions After 2008

Bill Gates
Gates met with Epstein multiple times between 2011 and 2014, well after Epstein’s conviction.
Gates has publicly called those meetings a “huge mistake” and said he regrets spending time with Epstein, framing the interactions around discussions about fundraising for global health initiatives.

Elon Musk
The released files include email correspondence between Musk and Epstein from around 2012–2013, including messages discussing possible visits to Epstein’s private island.
Musk denies ever visiting the island or having a close relationship, and has also publicly pushed for more transparency about the Epstein files.

Donald Trump
Trump’s name appears repeatedly in the documents, and there are references to communications, mentions, and proximity to Epstein in various records, including texts discussing broader networks of contacts.
Trump has denied substantial contact after the early 2000s, saying he stopped speaking with Epstein around 2004.

Because those be people thought they were untouchable. They live in their own ivory towers and don't consider people like you and me worth giving a damn about. That's why they're in all that sex-trafficking and playdophilia crime syndicates, they consider the world their playground, above of all morals and ethics, and feel omnipotent.

 

[The Big Yin]

Because nearly every politician and celebrity is a narcissistic whore, and he was paying

That or there's kompromat of them raping and torturing kids.

 

[HereticBD]

Because they felt untouchable. This Epstein shit goes back quite a ways, and they were always protected. Major news networks squashed stories, Epstein got a sweetheart deal, and everyone seemed to just look the other way. I wouldn't be surprised if they bragged to each other about just how untouchable they were. There's a bit of a psychological numbing to this stuff, which is why when he "killed himself", people were obviously aware of the shady nature of it, but what did they really do about it? Chuckled at how obvious the murder plot was? That's about it. The whole thing was dying down and was primed to forever be on some Wachmojo countdown of conspiracies.

Hell, if Trump hadn't made the Epstein files a big part of his campaign, none of this would be happening. There would be no focus on it. It's only because the Trump administration kind of got their dick caught in their zipper over it, that they were forced to release some shit. But despite all this stuff that's coming out, nobody will go to jail for it, so they're still getting away with it.

I wouldn't give up hope yet. People are still pushing and the public isn't just moving on like they hoped.

The only real consequence for anybody has been prince Andrew losing his royal title.

It's really not as big of a story as it should be. I'd say that news lady's mother being kidnapped is a bigger story right now, as is the ICE stuff, and even the fucking halftime show. It more seems like a story people banter about on the internet, rather than the media(or traditional media, anyways) pushing it too hard. As much as the MSM isn't as influential as it once was, it does still drive the narrative, and they're treating it like a story they'd print on page 7.

Even as hard as they could go on Trump right now, they're really not, when compared to past stories they've attacked him with. Even if they don't know the whole truth, there's enough there that they could easily run 24/7 attacks on him over it, and it's not like they've been shy over pushing anything negative on Trump, without having all the facts. Every little e-mail with his name in it, could make for an hour long attack segment if they wanted to. They pushed the whole "Russia" conspiracy a whole lot more based on a whole lot less.

My brother of the Dawg, you really need to unplug yourself from that nonsense.

That... and he was a big donor to politicians and "causes".

That... and he was a big donor to politicians and "causes".

Si. One of several compelling reasons to want to rework our PAc, lobby, donor driven political system.

 

[Scerpi]

Two reasons... It's always the same two reasons

1 - Money & Power
2 - Women - Both legal and not legal

And Reason 1 attracts women in number 2. While there were many women who were victims, I'm sure there were plenty who knew the game and got paid well. Hence why Epstein was able to do his thing for a couple decades being getting outed.

There are many men in power around the globe doing their best to keep their dark secrets under wraps.

A story as old as humanity

I agree the media isn't pushing it as much as one would like but if you look at twitter, other social media and what people talk about in real life it's by far the number one subject.

 

[nhbbear]

Just like why do people go back to the same drug dealer that sold them shit quality drugs-it’s what you know. To find another child sex trafficker takes work and risk

I've had the solution for that for years... it would change everything and have the politicians answering to "We the People".
