Epstein seemed to be a power broker and a political fixer. If so, naturally many high-profile people would have interacted with him and even have confided in him. It does not mean everyone associated with him knew or participated in his criminal activities, right?

he didn't have any power or ability to fix anything that didn't involve trafficking young girls

he can "fix" you up with a teenager who will give you a private "massage"

		Not sure where you are getting this from. He regularly connected people with each other. The sex trafficking was just a small part of his nefarious power network

		Not to defend Epstein, of course, but just to comment on the power brokering side. My understanding is that a power broker gets power by staying close to the power and by connecting people. I don't understand why powerful people need such broker, even though history shows other wise.

		he can "fix" you up with a teenager who will give you a private "massage" ... while being videotaped. Those recordings provide him an immense amount of power and ability.

Agreed, but continued communication after he was found guilty of sex crimes is definitely a bright red flag.

If so we are getting a window into a world we rarely see. For some of us this is confirming our priors, for others this will be profoundly shocking.
