Briefly Noted: The Epstein "Pedo-Polonium" Effect

Yeah, I wish I'd come up with that myself, but it's in the first paragraph of Zerohedge's roundup: "It's Going To Be Staggering": Epstein Associates Prepare For Worst As Massive Document Dump Imminent:

As the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to unfold, a laundry list of celebrities, business magnates and socialites who have flown anywhere near the registered sex offender's orbit are now tainted with pedo-polonium. Many of them, such as Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak, and Victoria's Secret boss Les Wexner have sought to distance themselves from Epstein and his activities - however their attempts have fallen on deaf ears considering their extensive ties to the pedophile. 

So who are these "Epstein Associates" who have a lot of 'splainin' to do, that "laundry list of celebrities, business magnates and socialites"? Here's a quick copy and paste of names that are emerging. Most of it is smoke at this point, as compared to the fire of the Bill Clinton and Prince Andy allegations, but we all know that the fire will consume more than just those two. Ehud Barak may well be on that "fire" list. Anyway, I copy and paste:

Bill Clinton
Ehud Barak
Victoria's Secret boss Les Wexner
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman
Elon Musk
Mark Zuckerberg
Bill Gates
Larry Summers
Steve Bannon
Alan Dershowitz
Lynn Forester de Rothschild
Prince "Randy" Andy

Anyone spot any likely GOPers in that list? There's Steve Bannon. That's it so far. The list will undoubtedly expand, perhaps exponentially. We're promised that by people who should know. Some choice quotes:

“Nobody who was around Epstein a lot is going to have an easy time now. It’s all going to come out,” said Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies. Another person involved with litigation against Epstein told me: “It’s going to be staggering, the amount of names. It’s going to be contagion numbers.” 

According to one source, Epstein had a steady stream of who's who's flowing into his Manhattan mansion, including Bill Gates, Larry Summers, and Steve Bannon.  

"Jeffrey collected people. That’s what he did," the source told Vanity Fair. 

"Epstein bragged about his contacts in Washington," said attorney David Boies. 

According to the report, "One theory circulating among prominent Republicans is that Epstein was a Mossad agent. Another is that the George W. Bush White House directed Acosta not to prosecute Epstein to protect Prince Andrew on behalf of the British government." 

"The royal family did everything they could to try and discredit the Prince Andrew stuff," said Boies. "When we tried to follow up with anything, we were stonewalled. We wanted to interview him, they were unwilling to do anything."

Should be quite a thing.
