Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

Wild! But to your first point, and kinda related to the rest, association is quite enough for blackmail, especially at that level of criminality. :)

Yeah that's something I wasn't sure about. Is going there incriminating enough on its own? I can't tell.

I don't know how "blooded in" someone would need to be, to be accepted in a space like that. Plenty of epstein associates do seem to have avoided public tarring, so maybe just going there is not incriminating enough. But would people have known then that it might be live-down-able?

I certainly don't know.
