makes it harder to focus on the "needle."

Epstein's role goes back to Bears Sterns and Iran-Contra so there is a lot of things that people aren't interested in in those files -- war, arms deals, bailouts, Adnan Khashoggi, Dodi Al-Fayad, drug trafficking, white collar crimes. His lifestyle and early business were interconnected with Khashoggi who abused women in similar ways. So there is a ton of stuff, none of which will ever be prosecuted.
