This looks more like he's discussing defenses to his case with his lawyer.

Look at the e-mail that Epstein replied to, it seems to be specifically related to discussing his case. This appears to be from his lawyer

Remember, though, that sex trafficking is inapplicable in your case. As I wrote in my August 11 memo, "In Epstein's case, (1) he never transported any girl across state lines, and (2) he never traveled with the intent of soliciting prostitution from underage girls. (Because section 2423(b) is essentially an 'attempt' statute, it requires specific intent of wrongdoing. See, e.g., United States v. Sims, 428 F.3d 945, 959-60 (10th Cir. 2005).)

Then the e-mail in the OP is sent.

It's gross, but my initial reading was that he's creating a plan to travel and is trying to dodge laws. However, in reading the full context, it seems more like they're talking about his cases.

And Mr. Webber here, doing all this on his university email account...

Sufficently advanced hubris is indistiguishable from incompetence.

Sigh.

*looks around for the STOLEN stamp..* pretty sure I’ve put that somewhere around here.

Mitch Webber's original email to him was essentially "yeah you're golden, fuck as many minors as you like, just bring them to another state first". And he still seems to have kept his job at (checks notes) an antisemitism group...

...what would happen if one were to transport a minor for sex — or transport oneself with the intent to have sex with a minor — into a state in which the age of consent is below eighteen (assuming the minor is above the age of consent in the given state)? And your intuition was right. The answer is that there is no violation of law.”

he still seems to have kept his job at (checks notes) an antisemitism group.

to be clear, this is a group for prevention of antisemitism and not a group who aims to be antisemitic, right?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago (1 children)

“Antisemitism” has been redefined to mean opposition to the genocide of Palestinians.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 10 minutes ago

well, don't stoop to their level. innocent jews still exist.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 hour ago

With Zionists those groups are starting to overlap.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ostensibly, yes. As far as I can tell from their entry in influencewatch they also do something called "pro-Israel legal advocacy", but I don't know what that is. Either way it's not a great look having Epstein's consigliere on board.

Israel is pretty antisemitic. They kill lots of semitic arabs. And pro-israel groups tend to condone or excuse all that semite-killing, which is pretty antisemitic.

[–] manxu@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

In an alternate universe, we would now be reading the ChatGPT prompts that Epstein typed and would be absolutely horrified at the depravity unfolding. Imagine the guy without the restraint of having to talk to actual humans.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 hours ago

Complete arrogance about ever getting caught because you have blackmail on everyone is the signal of the rich.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

We need protection from them, they don't need protection from us.

Entire intelligence agencies will try to hack into your communications to ensure that cat does not resembles supreme commander. At the same time ignoring that dude which paid 5 bucks in taxes, has private island and absolutely not sus traffic from all over the world.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 22 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

They had hard evidence of the Epstein classes crimes for DECADES.

At this point it should be self evident that the global intelligence community — likely including the agencies responsible for CSAM — are corrupt to their core and all compromised by the Epstein class of lawless billionaire psychopaths. It's highly likely Epstein and Trump's entire pedo sex trafficking ring was created by American/Israeli intelligence orgs to extort and blackmail globally, considering Ghislaine Maxwells dad was so high up that every living Israeli PM attended his funeral; some giving speeches alluding to his espionage.

Just like the police, these secret police exist to protect and defend capital. Capital IS "national security". They don't give a shit about laws, morality, democracy, or any of the other virtue signals Hollywood et al perpetuate. If they did, they wouldn't have ignored the evidence about hundreds of billionaire pedophiles, for DECADES.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

the agencies responsible for CSAM — are corrupt to their core

No. They mostly do good work. I don't believe the people going to the island were generally passing around large amounts of CSAM sourced publicly, like forums or Reddit.

I'm so tired of people just taking the vibes they want from words and ignoring the meaning of full sentences. It's a form of illiteracy.

I get that we're angry.

[–] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 hour ago

I hate how the logical this conclusion is.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 8 points 4 hours ago

lol fucking yahoo, too XD

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world -3 points 1 hour ago

To be fair. (Ewww that sounds so gross in this context) But that email was from 2006. Like... The first iPhone came out in 2006.

You just sent emails back then... The tech to monitor said emails wasn't there yet. At least not in the way we have it now.

All I'm saying is that back in 2006 I can see this happening.

Open sores software? Ouch, sounds painful.

The dude that took that email was on his work computer at Harvard! Fucking wild.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 17 points 5 hours ago

People do be like that, esp. back then. It somehow ties in with the whole "I got nothing to hide (and don't you dare sniffing around)" attitude.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 86 points 8 hours ago (18 children)

And yet not a single person involved is being persecuted, bizarre...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 43 minutes ago

persecuted

I think the word you're looking for is "prosecuted"

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 1 points 56 minutes ago

Apparently the orange pedophile/felon's poll numbers are going up suddenly.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's crazy to me that people still think law in the US equally applies to everyone, and are in shock every time they see that it doesn't.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

We’re not shocked, we’re increasingly dejected and occasionally it builds up enough to make us scream for a minute before worse news mutes us again.
