What about all other redacted names from the document?? It's rather suspicious that Democrats released the documents and only unredacted Republicans.

It also doesn't mean anything. Esptein invited anyone with money and power over to his island.

We have no evidence of their wrongdoings.

The conspiracy theory is that Epstein was a pedophile running a sex trafficking empire to gather blackmail bate for the Israeli government against US politicians and business leaders.

Fortunately, we don’t need conspiracy theories. Just look up which politicians accept money from AIPAC. Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to accept campaign donations from foreign governments. How can they claim to put America first if they are beholden to a foreign nation?

My understanding is that that's already the law, and AIPAC claims to be funded by domestic donations. It's obviously possible someone is lying, but then the answer to your "how can they claim" question is straightforward: believing (or pretending to believe) those lies.

Ask Wired to release them. They have over 200 via cell phone tracking [1]

There are 8,544 documents – including phone message logs, flight logs, transaction records and daily schedules – were retrieved through a congressional subpoena filed in August. Many, many people are mentioned in them.

If you want to discuss other names, be my guest. I have no sympathy for pedophiles.

I believe it very likely that some extremely well known people are in there, and whom politicians are desperate to defend, if not themselves.

The problem is that Epstein loved to hang around celebrities who presumably had no interest in his crimes, or who were only connected by financial matters.

There is a map of his known contacts. No implication. "We mapped Jeffrey Epstein's social network. Here's what we found." [0]

It is part of this article. [1]

it doesnt seemlike a very wide net is needed to derive a path from Alice to Zena.

its behavior not just association. acting like a saint when your seen next to an offender, while previousy "impersonating" larry flynt on camera is kind of damning. especially when "you can do anything you want" while "inspecting the pageant"
