Baby Bush was never big on brain power, and VP Cheney could easily game him on this.
Since so many rich and powerful people were availing themselves of Epstein's "services", there may have been some intelligence stuff going on; enough to get them to look the other way regarding Epstein's extensive pedophilia.

Think about what the government's refusal to deal with Epstein's crimes has done to this country. If this thing had exploded 20 years or so ago, Trump would probably not have been able to run for president.
