The National Review article: The Epstein panic

Good write up by the National Review on what a nothing burger the Epstein files have turned out to be
national review
quote:
The release of the Epstein files was supposed to uncover a vast conspiracy of elite pedophiles, or at least expose people who were guilty of crimes but got a free pass from prosecutors.
Instead, it has led to Yale University suspending from his teaching duties . . . computer scientist David Gelernter.
What did Gelernter do? He didn’t commit any crimes or even do anything unethical. He sent an email to Jeffrey Epstein years ago that mentioned in passing that a female applicant for a job with Epstein was attractive.
Instead of the real-life QAnon scenario we were promised, the release of the Epstein files has embarrassed, and led to professional consequences for, a series of accomplished people who emailed and socialized with Epstein but didn’t abuse underage girls.
Should Larry Summers have been pursuing an affair with an adult fellow economist to whom he was apparently a mentor? No, of course not. But should we have violated every rule and norm around how we typically handle raw investigative materials in a federal investigation in order to nail Summers for a lapse that has nothing to do with what was the purpose of the release of the files?

Schumer is such a clown. They don't care about being correct - they'll just throw baseless lies out and hope one gets some traction.
The mysterious "girl" was deemed not to be credible.......BY THE POLICE.

There was a time when I read everything national review published. Their blog The Corner during college, the magazine, everything.
Nowadays I forget it still exists. Their relevance has gone to zero.
Turning their website into a yard sale with political articles doesn’t help.

Their new talking point is "Trump is in the Epstein files"
Yeah, he is. He's in there when he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar a Lago. He's in there when he informed on Epstein to the FBI. And he's in there again when he pleaded with the FBI to investigate Ghislaine Maxwell, calling her "evil"
The Democrat leadership is demon possessed.

Meanwhile, the guy at the Professional Evolutionary Design school (now closed) at Harvard still has a job despite much more troubling emails.

The National Review is now a pathetic propaganda machine for Israeli interests and Jewish billionaires. Once it was a decent read but it is now a shrill echo chamber for people that do not want to question why they beat the drum loudly to stop any and all criticism of Israel and the neocons.

They should release and un-redact them all given the fact they are a big nothing burger.

The Democrats were in charge for four years and never opened the files. That tells you right there it is all a smokescreen with Trump in the files. If there was evidence of wrongdoing by Trump, it would come out long ago.

They withheld all the "good stuff". But even with the watered down version it is still not a nothing burger.

Limited hangout playing out exactly as designed.

The most interesting part is that Gelernter somehow crossed paths in life with both Jeffery Epstein and Ted Kaczinsky.
