I don't know if everyone understands that Epstein himself didn't need to blackmail anyone. His value was in passing on information.

The intelligence thought of the felon as a petty wanna-be mobster. He made and lost money. His daddy took care of him. He did have some connections with organized crime, of course. Michael Cohen was abe to open doors with him. It was at the time you noted that they saw he was laundering money. In time, Epstein served to provide intelligence for proof of this.

Epstein never was hard up for money. Those who found him useful kept him comfortable. Some were in intelligence, and others were in positions that allowed for financial gain. The second group was in position to influence what deals were made with some of Epstein's foreign guests.

People in this country often strike me as being unaware that others play the long game.
