The bargain-bucket price tag on certain consciences is depressing. And the excuses of ignorance and amnesia are looking a little thin
The release of documents related to the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has proceeded like a bankruptcy – first very slow, and then very fast; 3m items were dropped by the US Justice Department last Friday.
