WATCH: Victor Davis Hanson drops what might be the clearest, most damning explanation yet for Epstein’s real role.....and why those files still aren’t public. Victor Davis Hanson has a gift for cutting through the noise. In this conversation with @glennbeck, he laid out exactly what he thinks Epstein was really doing, and why the files remained buried. Beck asked him: “What do you think this is really about?” Hanson replied: “I think it's pretty clear now that Epstein had no talent other than blackmail. And he was not a financier, he a captain of finance at all.” “What he did is he invited very powerful people to his island or his New York home, filmed them and then he bribed them.” Beck pressed: “So why isn't it being exposed?” That’s when Hanson delivered the single most likely—and explosive—explanation. “I think there are people within the establishment—I don't know if they partook in the his sick things he was doing—but they have some association with him and they gave him money to invest when there was no reason to hire someone like that.” “He got a half a billion dollars somehow, from people who were mainstream establishmentarians on the basis that he was going to blackmail them.” “I think those names are numerous and I think the Trump administration thought, well we're going to release this and there's some crazy people that we don't care about, are going to be embarrassed....and then all the sudden, they got a lot of calls.” “Said, why are you doing this? I didn't do this, I went down to the island once, I was on a plane, I didn't touch anybody.” “There's a lot of people who were very powerful who were giving him money or were trafficking with him, not necessarily all them engaging in what he was doing, but just the association with him.” “And I think they're putting pressure on people. I really do.”
