JUST IN: Billionaire Les Wexner has submitted a written statement to the House Oversight Committee ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

There was no "sweetheart deal." Another myth. Over a year of incarceration, including time in solitary confinement, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and requirement to pay civil damages + attorney fees for government-designated "victims" is not a "sweetheart deal"

Chomsky unfortunately can't speak for himself due to his 2023 stroke. But Valeria was a central part of the relationship he had with Epstein, so anyone speaking about that should at least read her version. Central to all this was the rather extreme war that Chomsky's sons were waging on him over his first wife's estate, apparently due to common but childish resentment that he re-married after his wife of 60 years died of brain cancer. It put him not only in financial difficulties but also extreme distress at having your own kids wage a war against you in your 90s over money. Epstein, as he so often did, opportunistically exploited that situation by offering a life raft as he felt as he is were drowning, and that in turned generated misguided feelings of gratitude and affection. None of that exonerates Chomsky's choices, but for awhile I was genuinely baffled as to why Chomsky would not only meet with Epstein (Chomsky met with anyone) but develop such a close bond, and now I at least understand it.

The problem with my brain and the Epstein files is noticing patterns and being unable to stop looking. Everyone talks about “pizza” but I want to talk about the DENTIST. No one on this planet has ever used the word more in emails or among friends. His last gf was a dentist from Belarus. But she was listed as his executive assistant in 2018. She got most of his money. He left her a 33 carat ring. More than Ghislaine. He had a dental chair creepy room on his island. There are 1,700 entries that use the word in the file. What do we think this means?
