That the GOP appears to be part of a sex trafficking ring? No, that shouldn’t be overshadowed.

“For a man who clearly considered himself a sophisticated ladies’ man (the only book he’d left out for me to see was a paperback by the Marquis de Sade), I thought his journalist-seduction technique was a bit like his table manners—in dire need of improvement.”

This makes him sound like Christopher Walken’s “The Continental” character on SNL.

The brief compliment that Epstein paid to her that she opens and closes the piece with somehow do more to convey his creepiness than anything, probably because I have zero experience with being raped or with financial fraud, but I have received creepy and disingenuous compliments and this makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

I remember her Vanity Fair piece too. She’s a good writer. Epstein is a monster, as are all the powerful men who protect him.

It’s really nice that he’s using his wife and grandchildren as his cover for his relationship with Epstein.
