Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a batch of 68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Trump administration to release a much larger group of Epstein files.
The photos come from a trove of 95,000 images the committee received last week, the Democrats said. The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body; various travel documents; a screenshot of text messages about an 18-year-old from Russia and more. The photos can be accessed here.
The Democrats released several dozen photos last week, showing various high-profile figures including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Gates and others. Neither batch of photos implicates any of those pictured in Epstein’s crimes.
What is it with magicians and Epstein, there’s also David Copperfield
It is important to remember that simply being in a photo with Epstein isn’t evidence they were a part of what was happening or knew about it. Being at the same generic rich person party as Epstein isn’t damning by itself.
Epstein traveled in elite circles and obviously wanted to flaunt that access as much as possible. He was everywhere the money was, he worked in Finance for decades.
Likewise, almost surely not all visits to his Island were related to his sexual trafficking business.
Context is important, and that’s why actual investigations into all of these connections are important as well.

And because people like those in the pictures will block any real investigation, to me, it’s guilty until proven innocent
Yeah well that’s not how our justice system works, fortunately.
Yeah I know your justice system works by who has the most money/better lawyer wins and then you can always run for president and avoid the system entirely.
If you lie with dogs then you will get fleas
So you assume that every dog in existence has fleas? Can’t be around any dogs whatsoever at any point for fear of getting fleas? Shitty analogy for the situation.
Better hope none of your old friends from say high school or college that you haven’t seen for years end up being sexual predators at any point in time. Might have photos taken with them that others will see and assume you knew what was going on because you were with them. Especially if they were doing that at the time.

You mean people who believe in a justice system that doesn’t randomly imprison you until you prove your innocence?
Nah, that’s most sensible people.
James Randi is still clean. Still my hero.
