It's "not the kind of thing you forget." Which is unfortunate, because the actual alleged eyewitness can't remember it. https://t.co/7MSFiQVP6J

Bizarre that one Times reporter can't talk to another, even to get a "no comment." https://t.co/JC12xNpmvn

"I am Asian, so I know a lot of doctors"–Andrew Yang. That's a trope! Don't tell me that's not a trope. Trope, trope, trope. I know what a trope is. … Well, maybe I don't. https://t.co/k2JY3eKC4q

Just subscribed to News Items. Good daily selection of significant (often apocalyptic) stories from around the world that I wouldn't otherwise see. https://t.co/HCFcPuPB6b

New York piece advances the story. But I still feel we're getting stuck on Kinbote and haven't gotten to Botkin. https://t.co/Kp8P4NaDbZ

As kausfiles newsletter readers knew a week ago, BLACKMAIL is now the favored Wall Street explanation for Epstein's wealth. I'm still skeptical–can you blackmail that many rich guys? And I still think blackmail has other, political, uses. But good piece: https://t.co/1bu6mcyBxd

Another Trump-Epstein connection!** MSM really needs to keep investigating Epstein's finances. Never know — you might get Trump!

I try not to RT tweets with loaded phrases like "flailing @NYTimes that say you're only talking to the your own side. But jeez, it does seem like the wheels are coming off over there these days. Deleted tweets & headlines, basic screwups, woke didactics https://t.co/QAgQdkHgp9

"During the week of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York this year, the person said, a steady stream of dignitaries could be seen arriving at Mr. Epstein’s townhouse." OK! https://t.co/lJnjk7OLwD

Thanks. Do you think it adds up? Wexner somehow let him walk off with $200 million? Then he earns "millions in fees" from Black + there's a weird $15M Highbridge fee. Plus an unverified currency-trade boast. Does that get you to $500M-which the story says may underplay his worth? https://t.co/tRZxgdcKAT

If Jeffrey Epstein was a hustling pischer con-man networker with "few clients," HOW DID HE GET HALF A BILLION DOLLARS? The more minor-league he seems, the bigger the mystery gets, no? https://t.co/toisd2s5Mh

Certainly doesn't seem like Epstein would've gotten a glowing recommendation from Leslie Wexner at that point https://t.co/pQA6ugLdP3

So B. Gates wants "nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein," sex offender. Yet he winds up in multiple meetings, including at Epstein's house (Vanity Fair says) after an "aggressive lobbying campaign" by Epstein? Doesn't add up-unless B.Clinton was the lobbyist https://t.co/toisd2s5Mh

Bill Gates on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein: "Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men." There was MORE THAN ONE MEETING? (And, really, no women in the room, even bringing in papers, etc.?) https://t.co/Bks6vWoaM9 via @WSJ

Most revealing sentence in NYT piece: "Ms. Ramirez also did not see herself as a victim of ethnic discrimination. The college campuses of the 1980s had yet to be galvanized by the identity and sexual politics that course through today’s cultural debates." https://t.co/5gwRUYJt5p
