Epstein took pictures with tons of people, so a picture alone doesn't mean a whole lot.

There's no pictures of me with Epstein, I think that counts for something.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Also according to ICE the lack of a criminal record and evidence of wrongdoing is only proof of how much of a criminal mastermind they are...

Well if they're both not in this picture they must be in a picture together somewhere.

Hey I've been dreaming about this place for longer and longer sometimes feels like days. Actually pretty creepy lol wish I could stop. What movie is this from?

I'm sure there's a photo of EPSTEIN tattoo'd onto your knuckles in comic sans out there somewhere. Checkmate.

Yeah man it's totally unreasonable all he did was take pictures of the rich people who hung out with him at private exclusive parties. Just Bros hanging out in their private jets on the way to private islands. Totally normal stuff. Just the uber wealthy congregating to discuss things and indulge themselves and totally normal vices. There's no way merely being at this party indicated you were into certain lifestyles. You just had to be ultra wealthy to be there. We all know they are normal people who just like to have normal fun.

He did (slightly) more than just the kiddie diddling stuff. A picture with him alone isn't enough to condemn someone.

Now if they're with him talking about how they both like young girls, that would be pretty damning.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well have i got news for you then.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Awesome, what proof do you got about them talking about young girls together?

Not every event Epstein attended was a pedophile party he was hosting; don't be silly.

I'm definitely not saying that Elon didn't attend Epstein parties; I'd be shocked if he hadn't.

I'm just saying that a picture of someone with Epstein isn't enough evidence to conclude they were involved in his crimes.

This. It made sense for Epstein to get pictures of himself with every celebrity he could as often as he could. The more innocuous pictures he had with people the safer he was from attacks by them. And the more pictures he had with people the more at risk they were to blackmail by him.
