It's one thing to have RECEIVED Epstein's money–that's bad, people who took it should be held accountable.
But in the face of the core mystery (@xeni's "Elephant") it's creepier to have GIVEN money at Epstein's direction. Why would you listen to him? Why'd you owe him "favors"? https://t.co/1QoJyTEt2k

"The issue of the gifts given to institutions by donors at Jeffrey Epstein’s suggestion, is also one that has emerged in recent days, and we are looking into this as part of our ongoing review."– Harvard President's letter
Seems like the key. Why take Epstein's "suggestion"? https://t.co/580xHnWOaZ

We are at the "They All Suck" stage of the Democratic primary. https://t.co/m6u8qcMkMG It happens every election. (Sometimes they do all suck.)

I agree. Booker has Gary Hart '84 potential. If I were a Dem (wait, I am) I'd very carefully scrutinize his old fundraiser boasts about what he achieved in Newark–crime rate, etc. Some seemed potentially a little … Bidenesque. https://t.co/8KOflRaoRd

Would be interesting to find out the “numerous more Countries of international travel by Epstein’s jet,” recently. Was it just France, Austria, Monaco? Morocco? Where else? https://t.co/I4Bi5DFUmS

Marianne Williamson said what happened in Flint would never happen in Grosse Pointe. Not sure that is true as a general matter — suspect there are affluent areas with too much lead. (Happened in Washington DC, for ex. https://t.co/sweL3Au3dt) https://t.co/9Rpo65nUxz

The issue isn't whether the bigshot donations helped rehab Epstein (obviously yes). The issue is why did the multi-billionaire bigshots owe this puny half-billionaire "favors." For what?
Apologies for rehabbing Epstein are a distraction at this point, no? https://t.co/cYCz0shWr7

YIKES:" But it was understood that Black and others owed Epstein "favors" — perhaps they owed Epstein money for some kind of financial advice — and that Epstein could ask them to send those sums directly to MIT" https://t.co/OaRPGwAQr7

I think Rove is wrong** — lazily, pompously wrong — and @MrWalterShapiro is right. https://t.co/SEyjLEPyey Don't see why another Gary Hart is not possible — and the "Feiler Faster Thesis" says there's more time to do it than before — not less.
