In reply to the discussion: Jeffrey Epstein scheduled meetings with Noam Chomsky, CIA director and others: report [View all]Hugh_Lebowski
(33,643 posts)39. The QAnon nutjobs are LOVING this WSJ article, I promise you that
Check out the CV of William Burns, current CIA director
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Burns_(diplomat)
There you'll find he worked in fairly-high to very-high positions in the Clinton, Bush II, and Obama admins. Was Acting Secretary of State for one day under Obama for the day of the Clinton confirmation in the Senate.
He was also Hillary Clinton's Deputy SoS for awhile in the latter half of her tenure.
So let's add to list in this article shall we?
Noam Chomsky: Acclaimed Jewish Liberal author
Leon Botstein: Acclaimed Jewish Liberal University President (since 1975)
Kathryn "Kathy" Ruemmler (from wiki):
Is an attorney who formerly served as Principal Deputy White House Counsel and then White House Counsel to President Barack Obama.
In September 2014 when Attorney General Eric Holder announced his intention to step down, Ruemmler was speculated as being a potential candidate as the next United States Attorney General.[21][22] She withdrew from consideration the following month, amid speculation that she would have faced a "difficult confirmation process" because of her close friendship with President Obama.

She now works at Goldman Sachs, you know, Masters of the Universe along with the Soros and the Rothschilds?
Anyways ... you see a common thread?
Now recall the source: The Wall Street Journal
This here is a reasonably well-written article, which explains how some of these are not 'new names' that just emerged. To me, suspicious that the WSJ feels a need to highlight them now.
https://stljewishlight.org/top-story/many-prominent-jewish-men-are-among-the-names-on-jeffrey-epsteins-newly-uncovered-calendar/
An excerpt:
Some of the names had previously been linked to Epstein, a hugely influential Jewish donor who used his largesse to obscure what investigators uncovered years ago as an elaborate underage sex trafficking ring. Epstein met with thousands of people over his career and the presence of their names does not itself indicate any evidence of misdeeds.
The scheduled meetings revealed in the Journals report all occurred years after Epsteins initial arrest for sex crimes in 2008. Among the more notable appointments in the calendar: a 2015 meeting with Chomsky, a longtime critic of Israel, and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, whose relationship with Epstein has received much scrutiny over the years.
Epstein had arranged the meeting for Chomsky and Barak to discuss Israels policies with regard to Palestinian issues and the international arena, Chomsky told the Journal.

OP
How many people here meet with people who've pled guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution?

Well, if Chomsky wants to explain how those meetings were part of some professional obligation

I will say I too have met on a few occasions unsavory people at various points in my life

I'm going with the most generous spin I can place on it -- which is poor judgement

Epstein's empire was pimping underage teens. This deserves more than "none of your business."

In many cases of solicitation of minors for prostitution, it's done so unknowingly

And the entire world knew and wondered why he got off with just a slap on the wrist

If they are shitposting about Chomsky then they are doing the same with their own Director.
