11. It's always complicated - biggest problem is that the files were really not "released"

I don't think we should ever "move on" whatever that means, until we see what was in the thousands of redacted pages that were in the "release". The fact that the DOJ is refusing to allow anyone to see them has implications that go far beyond the Epstein case and are far scarier.

The complicated part is that we keep hearing about people that were in the Epstein circle not accused of "wrongdoing". Which is NOT a legal term and has no meaning in a court of law. In my opinion anyone that associated with Epstein surely knew what he was doing (nod-nod, wink-wink) and is guilty of wrongdoing - essentially being a scumbag.

But that is different from whether there is evidence of criminality.
