(with public contempt polling proving it so)... I certainly detest her. (and no, I am not ignoring the rest, but along with Trump, they would take days or more to discuss and I have to go to work).

I subscribe to her on Substack and hope the link will come through. She has been examining all the emails she can get and has been piecing this together. So far, from what I've seen, it seems that Wolff knew Epstein very well over many years - and was involved on the money side rather than abuse of girls.

...to defamation. Add to this all these folks are public figures, which raises the bar to include "malice", and they know they have no chance of prevailing. And, as someone else pointed out, they don't want to be part of discovery.

They've probably looked into it, and then they got talked down by their lawyers. The lawyers KNOW better.

I was surprised to see Kennedy's name on there. Didn't know he was a "friend" of Jeffrey's.

"Current and former Trump Admin officials in the Epstein Files" SO FAR!
Millions of pages yet to be released, and redactions galore yet to be revealed.
