Epstein Files Dump Reveals Tip on Trump 'Prostitute Party'

11. I read a helpful cautionary note today that put it in context for me.

Allegations, even horrifying ones, don’t become facts simply because they were ignored. The absence of investigation is damning, but it doesn’t substitute for one. If we collapse accusation into conclusion, we risk giving defenders of power exactly what they want, a reason to dismiss everything as sensationalism rather than confront the underlying failure of justice.
And that underlying failure is already severe enough.
What the public record shows, unmistakably, is that when allegations touch powerful men, especially men already insulated by wealth, office, or institutional loyalty, the justice system often chooses risk avoidance over truth seeking. Not because the claims are proven false, but because pursuing them would be disruptive. Costly. Dangerous to careers. Dangerous to legitimacy.
That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s how bureaucracies preserve themselves.

Dino Alonso whose Substack is Light Against Empire was responding to another lurid story in the Epstein files that alleged Trump was present during an infanticide in a very thoughtful post. I'd never put either one of these past Trump, but on the other hand I'd want to be damn sure that it was true – and apparently many allegations were never followed up on by the FBI.
