This hungry search for names in the Epstein files is beginning to have a definite McCarthy stink to it. Perhaps no names should be made public until the Justice Department — or whoever — actually prosecutes people. Then folks can unleash their righteous indignation.

Right now we’re damaging people regardless of how tenuous their connection to that awful man may have been. And, while we’re at it, how about exploring Mr. Epstein’s dark connection to Israel? But that’s a story that, given the media’s reluctance to say anything negative about that terrorist nation, probably won’t ever get looked at.
