The title is misleading

was not enough evidence to federally charge these individuals, so the cases were referred to local law enforcement.”

That's different from saying he didn't do it.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking obvious to everyone exactly what was going on, but we're currently dealing with the kind of insanity that comes from ignoring things like due process and evidence based prosecution.

Epstein was a slimeball, and all it means is that he covered his ass spectacularly well, but if there's not enough evidence, you don't just go ahead anyway.

This is totally separate from any likelihood that the finding of not enough evidence was bullshit or not, forced into being by power brokers or not, and I personally would believe both of those were in play. But that's not the same thing as what the title of the article says.

Well, all the jokes have been fun, but I guess it’s time to pack it up.
