    If that concern were actually relevant and not merely an excuse, mob justice would fail to consider innocence. That’s seen repeatedly. Merely an excuse seems likely, but…

    The thing I could imagine is that the list being something like a contact list, and Epstein treated celebrity contact information as a status symbol. If the list is a ledger of otherwise off book transactions, or a lost of people complete with blackmail material, then I can’t see how they could even try to make the argument about innocent caught up in the list.

    Either way if they have a district list, put aside releasing the list for a moment, where’s the legal system enforcement actions?
