I 100% agree with your first sentence and I said as much in the previous post. Just appearing in the files doesn't mean anything, but the context and what was said absolutely does.
Of the few people who have stepped down from their posts or the public eye, like Larry Summers, CEO of Chuck E Cheese, Peter Mandelson, why are they doing so if they've done nothing wrong?
I don't doubt that Clinton, Dershowitz et al. know that cavorting with teenage girls is morally and legally wrong. What you're missing is what applies to all those people applied to Epstein too: they thought they were invincible and wouldn't get caught. And it's not hard to believe that when these activities have been happening for decades. Even when Epstein first dealt with legal consequences, he got a deal that netted him 13 months behind bars.
