Epstein's Emails: Elite Concern Less About Child Abuse, More About Trump's Tweets
Bloomberg offers a crucial insight from the Epstein files: former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and a Goldman Sachs lawyer criticized Donald Trump. Yes, not the multi-decade pattern of child sex trafficking enabled by powerful figures, but rather Trump's policies or public persona. It seems the true scandal within Epstein's network, according to some, wasn't the grotesque abuse, but that
elite circles were *gossiping* about a populist president. This peculiar framing raises an eyebrow. While powerful figures were purportedly engaging in intellectual discourse with a convicted sex offender, the pressing issue for them wasn't Epstein's crimes, but Trump's rhetoric. One might wonder if the moral compass of the financial elite only points to White House residents they dislike, rather
than the predators they associate with for their 'intellectual' pursuits.
