    Nobody who hung out with Epstein should be in important jobs because a) they were abusing underage girls and b) Epstein was producing kompromat by filming/photographing it, turning all these people into Russian assets. That goes for Trump too btw.

      I have a feeling Mandelson was not abusing girls given he’s been out as a gay person for decades

        Well, TIL.

        Also I kinda love how the Wikipedia article describes his Brazilian partner with the title “dom”… like, sure, it’s a formal Portuguese honorific but it’s also, well, y’know…

      More likely just plain old US assets tbh.

      If Russia had all this intel on these old fucks then they’d have released it already.

        Once it’s released there is no further expectation for the asset to continue complying with them. That’s the whole purpose of it.

        Either there is no kompromat and these people are not assets or they are complying with the holders of it to prevent its release.
