Sounds sane.
Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch. Mr. Epstein over the years confided to scientists and others about his scheme, according to four people familiar with his thinking, although there is no evidence that it ever came to fruition.

I wonder if Bill Clinton ever had the same thought.

Wilt Chamberlain was way ahead of them.

I have to say, though, this was a wildly irresponsible tweet from the investigative journalist who wrote the article on Epstein. (And the tweet is not even factually accurate according to the New Yorker article.)

Also, regardless of what you think of the merits of the New Yorker story, Dershowitz's "pre-buttal" provides an interesting look into what the story may have looked like before fact-checking, if he's to believed. (E.g., I gather based one of his comments there was some anecdote that about skinny dipping on Martha's Vineyard--that, thankfully for all of us--was ultimately left out.) www.newsmax.com/alandershowitz/alan-dershowitz-open-letter-new-yorker/2019/07/26/id/926067/

She’s not the one being prosecuted. Or maybe the threat of her partner being prosecuted is an undue burden?

I think that it must be something along those lines—the state is interfering with her right to do so by prosecuting. See last paragraph of op-Ed.

I don't know it it's referenced in the story, but Dershowitz had a novel out sometime in the 1990s called Devil's Advocate. I think it was basically considered vacation reading and was kind of a fictionalized version of the Tyson case... He always struck me as a complete douchebag, not because he took on big celebrities as clients, but because he's a douchebag.

This is especially good.
(4) Your fact checker told me that you may write that Epstein’s “houseman” has implied that I was in Epstein’s Palm Beach home at the same time as young women were there. I have sent you his actual affidavit in which he says the following:
“At the time, I understood that Mr. Dershowitz was a famous lawyer. His visits to the house would typically involve a group of intellectuals or business men in social, but professional type gatherings.
I never saw Mr. Dershowitz do anything improper or be present while anyone else was being improper. …
I never saw [Accuser] at the house when Mr. Dershowitz was there.
If The New Yorker fails to publish these statements from Mr. Alessi’s affidavit, it will show a reckless disregard for the truth.

I was working in New Mexico when Richardson was guv. He seemed to be on the fast track to D.C. power then fell off the face of the earth.

Well, those aren’t the names most people were hoping for: Harvard elite who liked to collect intellectuals as friends... makes sense to me that Democrats would be the ones who nuzzled up to him.
