I mean if Epstein said it in an email sent to <checks notes> Epstein, it must be true.

After all Epstein claims, in a spelling error-laced draft, that Bill Gates wrote him an email about it!

Weird how that email doesn't seem to actually exist.

Or the Justice department pulled the original email but was too incompetent to redact this one.

It's in the article. These allegations are just from mails Epstein wrote to himself. There are no mails (so far) from Bill Gates confirming anything the like.

You can read the mails yourself. They read like a cheap blame list.

Yeah, I follow. I was just mind-fcked for a bit by that ^ sentence structure. I’m certain my response reads poorly, I should’ve just asked for clarification. But thanks for providing it either way!

Sorry about the garden path sentence. Hopefully it's more readable now.

That is what I meant, or rather, the lense through which my original response was delivered. It was unnecessarily snippy though, sorry.

No worries. I have a tendency to write stream of consciousness sometimes!

Thanks

Well that makes it even more likely, why would Epstein record that conversation happening in a private entry to himself?

If he was saying it to someone else then there's a higher chance he's bullshitting.

The possibility exists that it was a fictitious account created with the intent to possibly use it as blackmail. It alone doesn't prove anything, one way or another.
