A check-in to say thank you for your patience today while we work through some hard stuff at home. But also I wanted to talk about how I am able to read, listen to, and write about some of the darkest parts of the Jeffrey Epstein story, and still fall asleep at night.

Compartmentalization is the name of the game, but also something I’ve (sort of) fine-tuned after years of working on court cases and documentaries that deal with much the same subject matter.

A quickie live on my lunch break to talk about Leslie Wexner, and why he’s someone we need to keep top-of-mind in the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell/Donald Trump investigation

A little breakdown about what to expect from me in the next few days and weeks as I digitize and research the entire (unredacted) Epstein Black Book (which is publicly available online).

I emphasize this is a work in progress. If you don’t see a name you expected, it means I haven’t gotten there yet. This is 95 pages of names, nicknames, misspellings, phone numbers, addresses, beepers, domains, you name it, and it’ll take me a minute to dig through and verify names. So keep checking in for updates.

I’m posting as I go because I feel a sense of urgency to get this info out, and I don’t want to wait until I have the whole thing compiled. Something is building, and I want this information in one place, easy to read, and available to share with friends, family, and colleagues who want to know.

Thank you all for your love and support (and coffee!), I’m grateful for the community here.

I’m re-transcribing the Maxwell interviews from July 24/25, looking for things “Magna Legal Services” missed, and it’s quite a bit. But I came across a major slip-up that has legal ramifications, and I need to know what we do next because a victim has now been put at risk. Aaron Parnas or Lev Parnas or Michael Cohen or Rick Wilson, anyone with a legal mind, is this classified? It’s certainly attorney-client privilege, and this child-Jane Doe never came forward with her name publicly. I’m angry and horrified, but also want to see what needs to be done as a result.

Being new to Substack and suddenly having a bigger platform isn’t always comfortable for me, though I’m learning as I go. A little honesty about anxiety in this new place, how I deal, and what to look forward to.

A small rant based on listening to the first day of Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony and her trying to convince a legal team that both she and Jeffrey Epstein had health conditions that prevented them from having sexual intercourse, and thus they bonded over their celibacy in best-friendship.

Woman, please.
