Excerpt:

Wasserman’s connection to the Epstein records has been documented separately from Sheeran. The entertainment executive, who founded Wasserman Media Group, appears in released records concerning Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to a database compiling publicly released records, Wasserman is listed in 109 flight records and 19 documents connected to Epstein-related material. The records include a 2002 trip on Epstein’s private jet to Africa as part of a humanitarian delegation associated with the Clinton Foundation.

Documents also include correspondence between Wasserman and Maxwell from 2003. Wasserman has previously denied having a personal or business relationship with Epstein, while reporting has detailed the circumstances surrounding his contact with Epstein’s circle.

    It’s probably best if we prosecute the people tangentially connected to people in the Epstein files. Otherwise we might have to prosecute the people in the Epstein files and we can’t have that!

      I definitely agree with this but i also feel that if you do put connected people who are in privileged positions of power then hopefully they too will turn against their masters.

      I want to see the Andrew formerly known as Prince subjected to a public trial and if found guilty by a jury, imprisonment like any common person. Alas his brother doesn’t quite hate him enough to kamikaze over a thousand years of monarchy into the ground just to screw him over.

      That would be funny as fuck for future GCSE history students to learn about though.

        I’d like to see just one american subject to a public trial. That may open the floodgates for the rest. Just one.

      My inner voice transformed into Bill Nighy as chief inspector in Hot Fuzz reading that last bit

      “you’ll continue to be exceptional and we can’t have that”

        They’re capitalists and heads of state: we’re all making money for them until we get some heads rolling.

          Yeah but most of us are trying to survive. I doubt Sheeran is in a position where getting fired would compromise his wellbeing.

            It seems my statement came across as an apology for Sheeran, when it was intended as a reminder that people like Kraft have set up the economy so just trying to survive benefits them. And so the only way to get rid of their power to buy everything, including complicity, is to get rid of them.
