1. i have had some shady friends (moral analysis?)

you kind of know what they are up to, generally,

i have distanced myself from some (drugs mostly); calling the cops would be , unthinkable.

if an authority asked now, after an old friend's death, i would probably answer truthfully but attempt to minimize the involvement of others, and with emphasis on what i do not know.

there are victims. i get that the "johns" are victims of blackmail, but revealing them is necessary to determine the depth to which our laws and economics and defense have been compromised by their complicity.

i'm more sympathetic towards the girls, and i get that some have lives and families that can not bear exposure. potential future victims need to be protected.

we have only trump's word that he exiled epstein from mar a lago. i'm skeptical., but trump's response is not entirely incriminating.

my duty has never included "faithfully execute the law." trump's duty does include that restriction. that is why trump must be impeached.
