I think the Epstein files are going to bring the whole regime down.

We are already seeing it unravel, maybe not at a pace fast enough for us, but it is happening. It has started in Europe with several people resigning or even being investigated, depending on how involved they were with Epstein.
In some countries, the mere mention of your name in these files is enough to get you to resign, even if you may not have been directly involved with sex crimes, you are still associated with a criminal.

In the US, far less repercussions but it is starting in the corporate, financial and academic world. Earlier, a Goldman Sachs top exec, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned.

Likewise affected were Brad Karp of the Paul Weiss law firm, David A. Ross from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and Larry Summer,s who stopped teaching at Harvard and went on leave in November of last year.

Now, given that most right-wing politicians have no shame, moral fiber, or principles, this may take a bit longer to start affecting our "ruling class". Lutnick is under fire and being pressured to resign, for example.

Still, I am convinced heads are going to roll, and Trump won't be able to escape consequences.

It may well have been the glue that held all these clowns together. We were always wondering why Trump had such a hold on the GOP. The answer may be that he has blackmail on most of them who were connected one way or another to Epstein. It sounds like a significant fraction of the ruling elite was involved.

Bring the regime down? Sure...

...if you mean the Starmer regime.

In the US, far less repercussions but it is starting in the corporate, financial and academic world. Earlier, a Goldman Sachs top exec, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned.

Yes, and notice what Ruemmler's political affiliation is...

This is unbelievable. The more revelations from the Epstein files hurt Democrats and left-wing figures worlwide, the more they want to pursue the issue.

Oh. You mean Hussein Obamas former White House chief legal council?

1. As mentioned above, she was OhBummer!'s WG Counsel. She also was a lawyer in the Clinktoon MalAdministration.

2. Is that the Paul, Weiss lawfirm Trump banned from the WH with EO 14237?

3. Harvard is somehow Reich-Wing?

WRT the School of Visual Arts in NYC, the "arts community" overflows with Trump-Haters, so I doubt that David Ross is other than Lib-Prog.

As for Lutnick, he had some financial-philanthropic dealings with Epstein, one of the latter being a Lutnick invite to a 2015 Hillary Clinton fundraiser. Lutnick did visit Epstein's island for lunch ... accompanied by Lutnick's wife. I'm confident a DUmmie could concoct something sinister from all that, but the Hillary fundraiser kind of complicates such a narrative.

I think.....

I stopped reading after that. DUchebags are not known for their ability to think so it would be a waste of time to read the rest of that drivel.
