Have you ever made a phone call to hear, “This call is being recorded for …,” then you proceed to talk to someone, ask questions, answer questions?

Did you do a computer review of the person you will speak to, to make sure they meet your expectations for moral values before exposing yourself to being associated to an amoral person? Did you get invited to, and chose to attend a house party, or a gathering to meet others, to share information, receive information or socialize? 

I personally feel that George Mitchell, who grew up locally, received strong family values, did not contact Jeffrey Epstein for personal pleasure, but as a business opportunity. Do you expect to destroy your family name, or life achievements, because you talked to someone in a casual business environment? I feel that George Mitchell has fallen victim to being condemned because he was a politician and businessman.
