Epstein Photos: Public Figures Who Forget 'Who's on First'
The Financial Times report, like many mainstream outlets covering the Epstein revelations, focuses on the spectacle of powerful men pictured with a convicted sex offender. (Because, you know, seeing them together is the real news). What's consistently downplayed, if mentioned at all, is the decades-long open secret of Epstein's activities and his connections to an array of elites—not just these
two. Trump, for instance, once called Epstein a 'terrific guy' in 2002. Clinton famously flew on Epstein's 'Lolita Express' numerous times, according to flight logs. These aren't mere awkward selfies; they’re glaring snapshots into a world where power often insulated the powerful from consequence. Mainstream media loves to trot out these images for clicks, but rarely drills down into the systemic
failures that allowed Epstein's empire to flourish, or the uncomfortable truth that many in the elite orbit were, at best, willfully blind. It makes one ponder: how many 'newly released' photos will it take before we question the entire structure that protects such figures?
