Epstein files: Yale bars David Gelernter (Kazynski victim) from teaching classes amid review of emails

Holee chow!

Yale University said Wednesday that it has barred professor David Gelernter from teaching computer science classes, for now, as the university conducts a review of his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein, which included mentioning a Yale student for a potential project.

Gelernter’s extensive email correspondence with Epstein came to light after the release of files related to Epstein by the Department of Justice in late January.

… American fire a President who had thousands and thousands of contacts with the same child sex trafficker and havingmore than 30 different women some of whom were as young as 12 are on the record of Trump sexually assaulting them (found guilty by a jury in one case) or raping them?

Look for Trump to attack Iran this week for breaking the treaty that kept Iran from making a nuclear
weapon that Trump tore up because every hour of every day Trump’s pedo sex trafficking history keeps
coming out.

BTW where are those great B.J. hunters of the 1990s? Especially Lindsey Graham.

Kazynski sent him a package bomb?
That's kind of setting a narrative about Yale - they might include celebrity as a qualifier when considering who they bring in.
