So, yeah, I mean, I do think it's a little too soon to vindicate the proper conspiracy theorists, you know, the pizza gators, the QAnon lunatics, who really are lunatics.

I mean, when you look at the rest of what they have claimed is true, I mean, even if the worst...

allegations about Epstein or the worst assumptions about Epstein and his network are true.

This does not redeem Pizzagate or QAnon.

I mean, those people are just mad.

But I think we should be slow to imagine that there are a ton of guys out there who want to have sex with 13-year-olds.

From what I've seen, I mean, and I don't even imagine that of President Trump as much as I'm capable of imagining the worst about him.

I mean, I think he is just a genuinely awful person and a psychopath.

You know, I would be surprised, again, I think there are

yet 3 million more documents that have not been released, and presumably those are being held back for some reason, some strategic reason on the administration's part.

So perhaps there's worse to come for Trump, but I would find it difficult to believe or to assume that he's the sort of guy that if you put him on an island and handed him a

a 13, 14-year-old girl, that's the kind of situation he wants to be in sexually.

I just, I mean, I don't think that, I think that's a pretty rare person who shared Epstein's proclivities, right?

So my assumption about all of this is still

You have a bunch of guys who are eager to cheat on their wives or to sleep with young, beautiful women who they don't necessarily want to be seen with in public.

But these young, beautiful women are not underage for the most part, right?

So you have these, I mean, and we can be very judgmental about this behavior, sure.

But it still strikes me as extraordinarily unlikely that there are many people who are guilty the way Epstein was of, you know, targeting underage girls, knowingly targeting underage girls.

I just think that's, that would be a surprise.

And, you know, obviously awful and worth, and because how it's so awful, it is worth investigating to the last detail.
