    de-reaction-speed — The phrase “business meeting” drips out of his mouth like gutter rain.

    dubois-depressed — “Who is Soon-Yi?”

    lt-kitsuragi — The lieutenant shifts his weight to one side. “Soon-Yi is Mr. Allen’s wife. Their relationship is very…public.”

    de-esprit-de-corps [Medium: Success] — He means “controversial”. The two of them have been under active investigation for over thirty years now; too many late nights across too many precincts have been spent investigating claims of sexual coercion, child abuse, judicial misconduct. Most of it’s been buried beneath mountains of red-tape and corruption, but even the most crooked cops can’t entirely cover up the Epstein connection.

    I feel like at this point I would probably just accept it if any of these guys in the logs/book/calendar whatever just like got mad about the question on a level of “no I’m not a fucking pedophile what the fuck do you think about me?”

    And I don’t mean like Chomsky getting mad about the question on a level of privacy, he’s not getting off the hook there. It just strikes me as infinitely more suspicious that all of these people launch into lawyer mode and act like they are trying to get a good grade at deflecting the pedo allegations rather than reacting like a human being about it.

      there are probably a few guys like that from before epstein’s conviction because of all the reputation laundering he did but anyone dealing with him after that is probably a rapist.

    “If there was a flight, which I doubt, it would have been from Boston to New York, 30 minutes,” Chomsky said. “I’m unaware of the principle that requires that I inform you about an evening spent with a great artist [Woody Allen].”

    gross 🤮

    In response to questions from the Journal, Chomsky confirmed that he received a March 2018 transfer of roughly $270,000 from an Epstein-linked account. He said it was “restricted to rearrangement of my own funds, and did not involve one penny from Epstein.” Chomsky explained that he asked Epstein for help with a “technical matter” that he said involved “a simple, quick, transfer of funds.”

    sure, just a quick transfer of funds that couldn’t be done with a regular bank so you had to enlist the help of a pedophile/child trafficker. totally normal. I mean, what was chomsky supposed to do otherwise? eat the transfer fee from those greedy banks? no way, it’s far better for him to provide liquidity to whatever vampire hawala system he’s got going on
