Adam Davidson, who is best known for being the co-founder as well as co-host of NPR’s ”Money Planet”, dumped a 19-part thread on Jeffery Epstein Saturday, on why he hasn’t/can’t publish ”stuff I know about Jeffrey Epstein”.
The thread starts, ”I wrote something provocative about how I know stuff about Jeffrey Epstein and can’t publish it. I’ll do my best to explain and reveal here. It provides, I think, a good lesson in why it is hard to publish stories about bad things done by the rich and powerful:”

I’ll do my best to explain and reveal here. It provides, I think, a good lesson in why it is hard to publish stories about bad things done by the rich and powerful:

Davidson shares a podcast he was involved in that ran for two seasons and reveals many details from their investigation into Epstein. “First: Just about everything I know has been published somewhere. It’s in books or articles or interviews with victims or revealed in depositions. And, I think, our podcast, Broken, https://adamd.cc/broken went further than many in revealing scumbaggery.”
Davidson goes over the different categories of people involved in his investigations, starting with the victims, “But, yes, there are things I believe, with good evidence, to be true that I feel I cannot publish. These fall into a few categories: Category 1: Protecting the victims. We spoke to dozens of Epstein’s victims and dozens of their lawyers.”

“Many are, simply, terrified and don’t want to talk at all. Others are willing to talk off the record and will confirm things others said, but beg us not to reveal their names/info. Others are represented by lawyers who want to win settlements and don’t let them all.”
“We chose to respect any victim’s decision. We had to rely on the very few victims who were willing to talk publicly. This is why @VRSVirginia is so brave. Pretty much every thing she told us was confirmed by others, off the record. But she is rare in being public.”

“The biggest issue is the victims we never spoke with. Epstein reportedly raped up to 3 girls a day for years. Most came once or just a few times. Their names are not known by anyone. That’s thousands of victims who are invisible.”
The second group he talks about is the enablers “The next circle of sources are the enablers. Over the decades of abuse, Epstein had hundreds of staffers–pilots, house staff, chefs, assistants–the vast majority will never speak or will offer weak denials or will only speak through lawyers.”

He then pinpoints a specific enabler, “best friend of Jimmy Kimmel”.
“We covered one of those enablers, Adam Perry Lang, quite well, I thought: he was Epstein’s chef for years and has become a Hollywood celeb chef, best friend of Jimmy Kimmel. A few of these enablers would confirm details off the record.”
He then gets to the people who witnessed Epstein parade around with teenage girls at fancy functions.
“Then there is a huge group of people–those who witnessed Epstein and fancy functions. They saw him with teenagers at scientific conferences or sitting on his knee at dinner parties. There are countless people like this. A few did talk to us–totally off the record.”

Then he brings up those who ”allegedly” had sex with teenagers or were there while others did.
“lastly, there are the people who (allegedly!) either had sex with children or were around when others were doing so. They are all rich and powerful and simply deny and refer to their lawyers often with clear insistence that they will sue.”
He then reiterates this is why people don’t come forward and touches on the difficulty of proving allegations in court.
“The result of all of this is that for most of the claims, there is one witness willing to go on record. That witness, more often than not, is @VRSVirginia I have full confidence in her recollections. We spent ~two years checking every thing she said and never found a lie.”

“But courts and the public are not kind to single-source he-said/she-said cases. Virginia has already faced down and won against some very powerful people. But this is an absurd amount of weight to put on one person’s shoulders.”
Davidson then clarifies, “So, I am not protecting the men who (I feel fairly confident) raped children or watched as others did so. Fuck those guys. I am honoring their victims’ requests. Like all of you, I have hoped it would all come out by now. I’m shocked it hasn’t.”

He then moves to make some bold statements:
“But here is what I feel confident in saying: If someone spent any amount of time with Jeffrey Epstein, at a minimum they saw him physically touching girls in provocative ways and rather gleefully showing off his ability to do so.”
“More than likely, they were offered sex with whatever their preference was (Epstein did employ, abuse, and traffic women who weren’t underage). And many did have sex with girls or women.”

Davison then drives in the nail on those who spent real time with Epstein.
“So, ALL the people who spent real time with Epstein were–at best!–witnesses to the almost certain rape of children. And had a high likelihood that they engaged in illegal sex acts. Courts can presume innocence. We all should presume guilt.”
“Donald Trump, Bills Clinton, Gates, and Richardson. Ehud Barak. George Mitchell. George Church, Ito–and a lot of others at MIT and Harvard. There is an enormous likelihood that — at the very best — they spent a lot of time with a man they knew to be raping children.”

He continues, “They saw him with those children. They saw naked photos on his walls and many saw naked children around his pool. They knew. Yes, of course, many participated. But ALL knew. I am not able to say the names of people I think participated without betraying victims.”
He concludes with, “But these men should not be invited into polite society. They should not be celebrated on TV shows as experts on Covid or international relations or whatever.”

So many fight against this basic fact: Epstein did NOT hide his crimes.
— Adam Davidson (@adamdavidson) June 5, 2022
He traveled everywhere with an entourage of girls. They were on his flights. Sunning nude around his pool. Sitting on his lap.
Everyone knew. https://t.co/5Pb4SvRkji
It was not all of his time.
— Adam Davidson (@adamdavidson) June 5, 2022
The actual raping happened three times a day for about 50 minutes each time–not counting washing up after.
But he did spend most waking hours in the company of girls.
His partners saw this. They knew. https://t.co/5SalXj8laO
Sunday Davidson took a special focus on Bill Gates, “Bill Gates is now in week 5 of his reputation recovery tour and a compliant press is helping him. Most ask nothing about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, focusing, instead on his oracle-status on Covid. The few who do ask about Epstein, accept weak non-answers.”

He calls for an investigative reporter to look into Gates’s claim, “Gates’s argument is that Epstein was going to help him raise a special billion+-dollar fund. That is not credible. At the time, Epstein was a pariah with ~$500m of wealth and little of his former influence. I’d love a good investigative reporter to seek info about this.”
“A potential gift that huge–one that would lead to Gates spending at least 4 evenings with Epstein–would have a huge paper trail with a lot of research from the development office. Let’s see it! And until Gates produces the evidence, let’s not laud him.”
