And ladies and gentlemen, there are more stories coming.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

As I sit here today, I tell you, some of the people who've already paid a price or gotten a lot of negative coverage for their interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell, even though the documents are out there already, 3 million pages,

Not everybody's read through everything.

Next Up with Mark Halperin

So there's more coming.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And then the question is, is it survivable for anybody?

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

What's the standard?

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And I've been surprised and haven't really figured it out yet.

Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

Some people, in my hierarchy of wrongdoing, there are people who've done worse related to Epstein who seem fine in their jobs, in their lives.

Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And then there's people who've done less who are already out of their jobs.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And again, I say with as much modesty as I can muster, I know as much about this as anybody, anybody alive, as it pertains to American politics and media.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And I can't figure it out.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

I cannot figure out the standards that are being used.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

Again, some of it's happenstance.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

And a lot of it is how the world has changed right now because –

Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

the ability of a person under attack to have three things going for them that didn't exist at the beginning of my career.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

One is digital media, the ability to be your own war room and fight back by putting out your own stuff.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

That's number one.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

Number two is the tribes, the red-blue tribes.

Next Up with Mark Halperin
Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

If you're a red person and you're in the Epstein files and they're trying to take you down, they, I say in air quotes,

Political Scandal Double Standards, the "Epstein Class" Divide, and Trump’s Cultural Impact, with Andrew Sullivan

and you rally the red tribe behind you, you're fine.
