If we make the reasonable assumption that every redacted nonvictim image in the Epstein files is a person too powerful/too close to power to have their identity revealed, what does that say?
There are a lot of redactions.

I know a thing or two about the American elite, ahem, and if you’ve read my work, you may be sick of my assaults on the educated elites for being insular, self-indulgent and smug. But the phrase “the Epstein class” is inaccurate, unfair and irresponsible. Say what you will about our financial, educational, nonprofit and political elites, but they are not mass rapists.
Even if we accept that his personal appearance in the Epstein files is as innocent as such a thing can be - which is not as innocent as everyone wants us to believe - running interference for his pals is not.
