My Daily Beast Podcast Interview about how Epstein Used Elites to Stifle the Truth
I joined Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty to talk about the spell that Jeffrey Epstein seemed to cast over a “club” of global elites who looked the other way from his predations, even after the truth about him was laid bare in a Daily Beast series by Conchita Sarnoff in 2010.
I hate to suggest another podcast, but Ezra Klein’s recent NYT podcast discussion with Anand Giridharadas about the Jeffrey Epstein files helped me understand the big picture. I just couldn’t get my head around something this big and insidious and willfully overlooked… and, quite frankly, evil.
It baffles me as to why did prior AGs and their DOJs did not pursue this. Why was it brushed under the rug by so many for so long? There is no explanation for not tackling this when it first was noticed...... They should've pounced on this. Epstein was so evil.
