No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

The CIA was complicit in Epstein, moreso they were active conspirators. They can absolutely do it again, and we shouldn't assume this is the only blackmail they have either.
Heads should roll for compromising our own people to a foreign interest.
CIA, Mossad, Russia, etc., they were all tied to Epstein, and many claim one or the other was operating him. I don't think it was that simple.
I believe Epstein was more of a independent operator of an extremely high-end specialty concierge service, and he had two types of clients - those who engaged his services, and those who purchased information about those paying clients. Why get paid by one employer, when you can sell the same info to multiple parties?
He started as an Israeli honeypot, then tried to get involved with Russia later. There is no question as to his genesis being Israeli intelligence, with the help of the CIA, there is no way they didn't know what was going on. The FBI was complicit too, heads should roll for this.
I understand that they all knew what he was doing, and almost certainly were paying him a retainer, but I still believe he was mostly independent, working for whomever would pay for his information, sometimes running operations he was paid to do.
I'm just saying that he doesn't seem to have been an employee or agent of one specific nation or agency. But what do any of us really know? They have leaked out some information, but it only seems to further muddy the water in regards to his employment. They surely know exactly who he was, and what he was up to, and they are choosing to not tell us, probably because citizens would go nuts if the CIA admitted that they knew he was raping and murdering children, but covered for him.
He was a hardcore zionist, Maxwell's father was a mossad agent, and he took private jet flights to Israel and back with their spy chief, palled around with their politicians. He didn't do shit with Russia until much later, that I've heard about, and didn't make that many inroads there either. He got some girls from there at some points I know.
Israel has the original tapes. I don't doubt Russia has some of it now, they said as much last summer, medvedickhead said on the floor of the duma that Israel wasn't the only one with something something alluding to epstein clear as day.
Russia has their own blackmail too, this whole thing is fucked, we all have leaders compromised by the worst people in the world.
