About the same as most big scandals. Lots of noise and very few consequences. The damage control has somewhat started already. LOTS of people were “associated” with Epstein but that’s not a true implication of what their association was.
Well it's kind of like that photo of Elon and Ghislaine. Does it raise questions? Oh yes. Does it automatically mean Elon has been raping kids? No. Those two rapists associated with lots of famous people. I think they got their in with a lot of people becauze of all the secret rapists they associated with. I don't think every person who has associated with them was a rapist.
Every ~~rapist~~ square is a ~~associate~~ rectangle, but not every ~~associate’s~~ rectangle’s a ~~rapist~~ square.
