In reply to the discussion: FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show [View all]AZJonnie

Here's the thing. If you've approached everything you'd think of as "evidence" in this case pre-judged and viewed through the lens of "I'm absolutely positive Epstein was trafficking minors to his rich buddies", I completely understand how and why many people (yourself included) think there is mountains of evidence to confirm it. I get it. I get why you think I sound crazy or blind or whatever you're getting at. I do.
But this article suggests I'm not as stupid and/or crazy and/or blind as you're alluding to, otherwise probably the FBI (which includes 8 years of Obama's DoJ, and 4 of Biden's) wouldn't be thinking similarly.

Let me guess. It was just a different kind of chapter of the Boy Scouts and they were working on a merit badge.
