"Billionaire Boys Club": What the Latest Epstein Files Reveal About Elite Impunity

[Uncle Joe]

The Justice Department on Friday released an additional 3 million pages of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Trump administration says it was the final release of Epstein files, even though some 2 million more documents remain unreleased. The latest batch reveals new details about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful, including Hollywood figures, tech billionaires, public officials and more. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said it is unlikely anyone else would be prosecuted.

Attorney Arick Fudali, who represents 11 Epstein survivors, says the release of the files has been a "perfect storm" of "incompetency and an active cover-up" by the Trump administration. "It's so mind-boggling, because they're withholding documents that they shouldn't be withholding … but, on the other hand, they're showing documents that they shouldn't be showing because they contain unredacted names of survivors," says Fudali.

Investigative journalist Vicky Ward, who has covered the Epstein case for many years, says despite the flawed release of the files, they continue to shine light on a world of elite impunity and excess. "We just see over and over again in these documents, there's just one big billionaires boys club that treated women like objects," says Ward.

2. The QAnons were right!... Er... Sort of.

There is a global cabal of pedo elites.

But they voted for them (and then some) like a bunch of abject boot-licking worms.

3. No One Is Above The Law?

This has got to be the greatest fallacy in American Democracy. There is a culture of very wealthy elites who have always felt that the rules never apply to them. So even when laws are broken, we even have some of those elites installed in the highest court in the land to put their corrupt fingers on the scales of justice in favor of their fellow members of that ruling class. What remains, is a system of law which keeps the underclass law-abiding citizens coerced into following laws not so equally applied. And exercising one's legal rights often is cost prohibitive involving minimal legal representation to confront an army of lawyers paid with huge retainers by the ultra-rich.
This is becoming more obvious with Trump as the poster boy for impunity. And breaking the law is now seen as just the cost of doing business for those who can afford to stall things out in the courts until the day they die without paying for their crimes. This entitled attitude tells them that obeying laws are for suckers.
