Re: From wapo

?? Thoughts?

How do you respond

to the overall critici=m that Mr. Epstein has received

special treatment and a light puni=hment because of his

wealth and political connections?

Something like: =E2 The criticism is wrong and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding=of both the facts underlying Mr. Epstein's case and how it was pro=ecuted by both local and federal authorities. Far from a receiving a=sweetheart deal, Mr. Epstein was subjected to a lengthy, aggressive, and h=ghly unusual federal investigation for what were, in essence, local offens=s of sexual solicitation. He accepted responsibility, served time an= prison, and paid significant monetary settlements to the victims involved= [But for his wealth, it is hard to imagine that Mr. Epstein =99s would have received the aggressive treatment that he did from federal =rosecutors, and he certainly would never have been subjected to the salaci=us and malicious treatment by the media that he continues to receive more =han 10 years after the case was resolved.]
