Respond to this comment if that happens, and I'll stop defending him and admit everyone was right, and I was totally wrong. I feel like there is only about a 5% chance that's the case, but who knows.

He took money from this guy after going to prison for rape, attended multiple events where underage prostitutes almost certainly were present... where do you get 95% confidence that his intentions were good?

Here’s a question: if we had a list of everyone who ever attended one of those parties, would you estimate 95% of them had good intentions?

I think this is some special pleading though, since you could make similar statements about any of the many many high-profile people who commingled with Epstein. Is it all one large conspiracy? Or were they all just chumps?
I feel quite certain there is a large conspiracy? Do you have some doubt that he was at the center of a large conspiracy?
