Magnetic tapes were so late 70s. He had upgraded to DVDs and that's what the collection was, each with names on it, reportedly. The "reportedly" last for one day, then the whole business went poof, never to be mentioned again outside DU.

he could start giving up names, but Ghislaine Maxwell is still alive? It is because she had the tapes and made multiple copies. Then she gave them to a friend. Then she let it be known that if she was found accidentally hanging by her neck (ala DC Madam) her friend would send the tapes to every news source on the planet. So far it has worked. She is playing a very fast game with some very wealthy and dangerous people.

The names of at least two journalists who investigated Epstein's crimes are among those that will be publicly filed, according to the documents.

For those not widely known to be linked to Epstein, the material that will be unsealed will include subject matter that is “not salacious” and material that had not been requested to remain under wraps.

Pedophile refers to pre-pubescent children. What Epstein is guilty of being a ephebephile, one who is attracted to teens, which most all men are; for that reason, it is not considered a pathology. It is illegal (rape) and immoral and I do believe those guilty of participating should be called out. I want to know.

And if they were named in the case solely as witnesses who were innocent bystanders, then why would they need their names sealed?

Tue Dec 19, 2023, 04:20 PM
Dec 2023

filed in a civil case brought by a longtime accuser against his convicted partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell.

(U.S. District Judge Loretta) Preska noted in her order that the names of people who will be unsealed include those who have “given multiple interviews to the media,” have publicly filed suit against Epstein and testified against Maxwell at trial.

For those not widely known to be linked to Epstein, the material that will be unsealed will include subject matter that is “not salacious” and material that had not been requested to remain under wraps. "

I really dislike knee-jerk reactions. Stephen Hawking had "ties" to Epstein. Come on!

If one does a Google Image search for Clinton and Epstein, one finds a few pics. But they appear to constitute exactly two occasions. One seems casual, and the other seems like The White House.
