They all were, it's why they projected it as something on the "Left" so loudly. And Trump's corrupt DOJ allowed Epstein to off himself, while Barr buried any evidence of Trump and those in his orbit.

Edit - Just to be clear, I'm not saying that I don't believe that people like Clinton and others on the Left weren't also part of it. The Right really went full deflection though, which by now we know is their admission of guilt.

Steve Bannon has 15 hours of footage of Jeffrey Epstein that has never surfaced, Insider wrote in a Wednesday report. 

While Bannon sits in the Danbury Federal Prison serving out his sentence for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena, new information revealed the right-wing streaming host had a close enough relationship with Epstein that he was allowed to film activities. 

The report claims that Bannon said he was filming a "documentary," but that the claim doesn't hold up. 

"Sources say Bannon was friends with Epstein and was trying to rehabilitate his reputation," Insider said.

My first thought was that Bannon is the penultimate sleazeball in America. Neck and neck with Rudy.

The second is that Bannon might be smart enough to get info from Epstein for blackmail or even a dead man’s switch.

Even worse, he made it behind a pay wall.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
