I won't guesstimate percentages, but I'm pretty sure many more will have their Epstein connections checked and found harmless than those whose connections were shady or worse.
ack in 2018, Time’s Up was the toast of the town, feared and lauded across the industry. The influential anti-sexual harassment group made its splashy debut at the 2018 Golden Globes, in the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s downfall, raising $26 million off the backs of his accusers. There were a few missteps early on — a tone-deaf Vogue photo shoot — but overall, Time’s Up organizers deftly consolidated money and power.
And while its mission was to provide victims of sexual assault with financial and legal assistance, the organization seemed to spend more time advocating for A-listers like Reese Witherspoon and Emma Stone to get bigger paydays. (Mark Wahlberg gave a $1.5 million donation in Michelle Williams’ name following revelations of a massive pay gap for the reshoots of the film “All the Money in the World.”) What started out as righteousness ended in scandal, and Time’s Up was forced to cease operating in 2023 after it was revealed that the organization had advised former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo how to counter sexual harassment allegations against him.
But the power grab appears to have been even more craven than previously known. Documents in the Epstein Files suggest that Time’s Up leaders may have been actively engaging with Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle in a bid to launder his disgraced image. The scandalous ploy involved LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, former director of the MIT Media Lab Joichi “Joi” Ito, Steve Bannon and (perhaps most notably to the town) CAA board member and chief innovation officer Michelle Kydd Lee – who now goes by Michelle Kydd.

ENOUGH with the wanton destruction of institutions and buildings cherished by The People The East Wing was an annex office building built by FDR after razing the East Wing built by TR.
ENOUGH with the 1930's-KKK-level RACISM Try telling that to Kash Patel and Harmeet Dhillon. Also, the KKK was a Dem Party org, never an R Party org.
ENOUGH with the corrupt self-enrichment, leveraging the power of his office to line his (and families) pockets with OUR tax dollars Self enrichment? How? By continuing his hospitality businesses ... like Carter continued his peanut businesses?
ENOUGH with the coddling of the worlds worst dictators Threatening to attack Iran is "coddling of the worlds(sic) worst dictators"? Arm-twisting countries into not buying Russian oil is "coddling of the worlds(sic) worst dictators"?

ENOUGH with the murdering of innocent fisherman trying to earn a living Few fish can travel as fast as the drug-smugglers' speedboats Trump had destroyed, along with their drug cargo.
The only 'burning to the ground' I saw in America, was democrats burning down democrat run cities, like saint paul and minneapolis.
But that was described as 'mostly peaceful'.
