Epstein in 08, 09, and got him sort of the very light 13-month or whatever sentence. And it was South Florida DA or whatever he was. And Acosta was asked, you know, why did he get off so easily? And under congressional testimony when he was up for labor secretary 2017, it was he belonged to intelligence. And then, yeah, the question isn't about the sex with the underage women.

The question is really about why was he so protected? And then I went down all these rabbit holes. Was he working for the Israelis or the Mossad or all this sort of stuff?

He went to jail for 25 years or whatever.

I'm sure that was part of it. I suspect there are a lot of other questions that one should also ask.

My riff on it was always that it was – It's a little bit different from the J. Edgar Hoover thing. And the question was always whether the people doing it knew they were getting compromised.
