Is there anything new/incriminating in the Epstein emails? I don't necessarily mean related to Trump, but anyone at all. The stuff I've seen so far hasn't been mind-blowing, but perhaps someone here has actually gone through more than what the pundits have been chirping about.
The impression I've gotten from writings of Cim and others is that Epstein was clearly a sex addict who mostly got up to stuff in his personal life and that's it.
And at the same time there's a small amount of information out to suggest that he did get up to some shady business with a few people.
You'll see a few credible people in the political and news class who have claimed to see specific lists of people but they won't go on record because they are 100% sure they'd get sued to death (Mark Halperin has talked about this for example).
Likely a large piece of this is that the information available isn't smoking guns but is instead lists and manifests that don't give enough proof to separate from the dinner parties and other social events Epstein famously held quite often.
But to give an example - that would include for instance, Bill Gates. You can see some actual news coverage on how this might be related to his divorce but I also know some people who don't have first hand knowledge but are in the same social class who think that's real.
Circling back to your original question you can expect that as soon as something gives them actual cover you'll see a punch of journalists punch out with already planned and researched stories. Since we haven't seen anything......doubt it, just the Trump bullshit.

The newest revelation I've seen was the USVI house delegate texting Epstein while questioning Cohen (Trump's attorney/Stormy Daniels fixer).
The blowing bubba thing seems like an out of context prison joke to me.
