20. I really, really HATE that this will sound like I'm somehow defending this fuckhead Epstein

But I don't say the things I say idly, without having paid close attention to the details as they've emerged since the Herald story, and double-checking now before I post.

Here's what I was able to find along the lines of what you're talking about:

In 2019, the Palm Beach Post reported that victim's attorney Edwards claimed Epstein “was having office visitors, some of whom were flown to him from New York and continuing to engage in similar conduct literally while he was in quote, unquote, jail,” during his work release.

Business Insider summarized that Edwards said Epstein had “female visitors under the age of 21” at his office while on work release, and that he had sexual interactions with them there.

ABC News likewise reported lawsuits alleging that women were trafficked to Epstein’s Florida office for sex “while he was on work release from jail in 2009.


So, what you said was mostly accurate, but this does not contradict what I said. Nor the point that I sought to make, which is that without victims saying he was still abusing minors around 2012, while it's certainly embarrassing for fuckface Musk, it's not actually "incriminatory". And non-incriminating things are all Trump/Bondi are going to put out, because they have no REAL intention to really "release the unredacted (except victims names) files in entirety".
