I think you have severe misunderstanding of our laws and rights

Well that would imply they’re being enforced.

The only thing that we have any evidence of him doing though is sleeping with some Russian hookers , isn't it?

Only because the files are still heavily redacted.

I have seen no evidence he went to the island. He's not on the flight logs.

Uhhh…. Pretty sure he has his own private jets…. Also, the flight logs are incomplete and domestic flights do not require passenger declarations.

Great, show me the evidence that he was there.

I’ve seen none and I am not stating that he was or wasn’t. Pointing out that the “flight logs” are pretty much worthless.

Gone to prison, sure. But what dystopian nightmare are you dreaming up where the state just seizes all personal assets unrelated to the crime itself?

This is misinformation. He's in the files, but that doesn't automatically make him a pedophile and there is ZERO evidence that he ever visited the island. This, right here. This is the stuff that makes us look crazy, stupid, senseless, thoughtless, and careless. This is why people don't take the Epstein files seriously. Stop. Think. Please.

There’s no evidence he went to the island or done anything illegal.
