Epstein files: Nobel winner Axel quits Columbia U

quote:
Dr. Richard Axel, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, said he is stepping down as co-director of Columbia University’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute on the heels of his association with notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein drawing public attention.
“My past association with Jeffrey Epstein was a serious error in judgment, which I deeply regret,” Axel said.
quote:
“I recognize the problems this has caused, and I will work to restore this trust. What has emerged about Epstein’s appalling conduct, the harm that he has caused to so many people, makes my association with him all the more painful and inexcusable.”
quote:
But Axel is mentioned in multiple emails and other documents released by the Department of Justice in January as having been in contact and dining with Epstein.
Axel has been a Columbia University professor for 53 years, and will continue his lab’s research at the Zuckerman institute, he said. Axel, in his statement, said he will resign as an investigator from Columbia’s Howard Hughes Medical Institute
quote:
Emails and other documents contained in the DOJ’s Epstein files database show that the friendship between Axel and Epstein continued for years after Epstein served 13 months in jail following his guilty plea in Florida state court to soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.

I honestly have to applaud these people for having some decency and a shred of integrity for stepping down.
Regardless, burn in hell.

I respect that if he's sincere and not grandstanding. I would say that about anyone regardless of their politics. Dems do grandstand way more than most though.

Obviously not a U.S. politician. They have no shame.

Many "mentioned in multiple emails and other documents released by the Department of Justice in January as having been in contact and dining with Epstein."
Still babling about one sided "friendly relationships" with Jeff? Them but not him? Why

As they should, and why they are respected.
Others, with no moral compass just protect those, even the ones put in their own administration.
At least you are honest about not caring.

So did this guy do anything other than have dinner with Epstein a few times? Where are all the people that flew to Epstein’s island to rape children and eat babies? Who’s on that list?

H'mmm, seems this guy Epstein knew a lot of folks.

Surely someone does. What about the victims? Why don’t they just tell us who all raped them?

Got paid and signed NDAs most likely.

That's their goal. Step down to try and prevent being arrested.

I’m not a lawyer but I have to assume that I can’t just rape someone and then have them sign an NDA saying “You can’t tell anyone I raped you” and have that hold up in court.

Well there has to be a reason Meghan McMassie and company never dropped any names.
