Note that in his defensive interview with Joanna Coles Wolff doesn’t say he would’ve gotten around to writing about Epstein’s sins. He says it was worth it to suck up to Epstein because Epstein became a “very significant source for me ” for his writing about Trump. [See https://t.co/yLVzWLgzc5

You’re only at the 3rd sentence of Wolff’s *unpublished* Epstein profile, when you hit this: “Once I arrived for a visit and found several police cars blocking the street and thought the worst-they’d come for him again.” Why was that ‘the worst’?

Releasing the Epstein files is what, a 70-30 or 80-20 issue in favor? Are all those people ‘they’re-all-pedos’ or TDS types? Is Massie? Doesn’t the overwhelming civic-minded opinion of a bipartisan majority have political force of its own in raising the issue? York seems to https://t.co/LblAhkE7ib

The backstory to this reversal, if it’s not fake, may be as revealing as the files. Why did Trump wait until his cover-up had ripped his party apart? Did he need to get permission from someone or some institution? What were his calculations? He could’ve done this months ago, no? https://t.co/v19MVFP4m7

Wolff just never got around to publishing about Epstein, you see, argues @semaforben. “There’s no reason to think, given his record, that he wouldn’t have burned Epstein once he’d filled his notebook.” But there are plenty of reasons. One is he’s had the time since Epstein died https://t.co/lHoJ99BqJA

There were & still are very good civic-minded reasons to release the Epstein files. It’s not just the “they’re-all-pedos” crowd. In part it’s a “were-powerful-officials-compromised-in-a sex-ring” crowd and also a “how-sick-is-our-ruling-elite” inquiry. https://t.co/LYUJrdNvET https://t.co/fYCu7FAJ5k

I dunno. BBC’s conduct would seem to violate at least one prong of the “actual malice” test–either BBC knew it was false (almost certainly) or they proceeded in “reckless disregard” of its truth or falsity.
