re: Alan Dershowitz says Epstein files are a nothing burger.

My take on the Epstein matter is that many amongst us initially created vastly unrealistic and unreasonable expectations that would never be met even if every last syllable of the Epstein investigation was released in whole. It’s just the unfortunate level of cynicism and disbelief that’s been fomented amongst those who follow politics and have interest in things connected with it. Which incidentally isn’t every single voter. And I’m not saying it isn’t justified, because it certainly is to a large degree. But there’s also an aspect of it wherein some amongst us have not practiced rational thinking and reasoning, which each of us is responsible for ourselves insofar as going to every extent to be rational and reasonable.

Add to the more general thoughts above, the reality that not every crime or conspiracy or collusion comes with the best possible evidence or all the evidence and info and explanations that we would love to see. Finally, there is the irrefutable fact that every investigation has countless other potential complications, such as for instance a name being made public that lo and behold has no connection with any actual crime(s), yet through public demand is now public and the effort ended up being a loss for society and not a gain.

Bottom line, if one brainstorms a bit and makes a databank of possible complications and conflicting factors, then IMO the most reasonable conclusion should be “maybe I shouldn’t have made such definitively pessimistic and dark conclusions, because I don’t know a fraction of what needs to be known….and the investigators might not even have the same information themselves.”


You asked for it, you got it.
