the Dems haven't pursued it out of fear that too many of them might be vulnerable to similar accusations.

(I honestly haven't been able to figure out more plausible explanation for why either the emoluments issue or the Epstein mess haven't been seriously pursued by either side.)

I wouldn't be surprised it there were a number of familiar people showing up in the Epstein files. But I believe (or would like to believe) that that we will be able to distinguish the "yeah you were at a random party with Epstein" versus, people who had repeated encounters with him or hung out with him.
