Epstein Files: Let's Bring Back the Boring US President

  The legacy of former two-term US President Bill Clinton seemed finished. That is, after the latest dump of material from the Epstein files. The New York Times reports:  " ... the Justice Department’s  avalanche-like release on Friday  of more than 13,000 files related to Mr. Epstein served as a powerful reminder of Mr. Clinton’s long-scrutinized ties to the disgraced financier as well as some of the former president’s less statesmanlike traits — his womanizing, reckless judgment and impulsivity." Meanwhile, both political power brokers and the public demand more transparency in what's in those files associated with the current two-term US President Donald Trump. His legacy could be also irreversibly damaged. It's not unthinkable that the first line of his obituary in influential media such as The Economist could refer directly to Epstein links. This development generated by the Epstein Obsession  could change presidential politics. For 2028 both Dems and the G...

Epstein Files - Update on What's Now Out There

Jeffrey Epstein Everything has mutated into an obsession . For those eager to keep up-to-date on what has now been released, including today, The Wall Street Journal has done a profound service. Here are the two key links.  This one from the WSJ guides you categorically and comprehensively to what's currently out there.   In case much of what has been out there is old hat to you, the WSJ provides a link to what is new today. Since there was only a partial release of what we hadn't previously had access to, more will come. But already the document dump has probably deposited reputational coal in the stockings of some high-profile players. Photos can be especially damaging. As an intuitive coach/tarot reader I warn clients not only about what company they keep but also where they keep it. Thrown off your game, maybe the first time since you started working? You made all the right moves and then the world moved in another direction. Intuitive Coaching. Special expertise with tran...

Status Setback: You're Not Among Marquee Names in Epstein Files (like Noam Chomsky)

 The late Jeffrey Epstein was a collector of people. That represented a separate category in what he was up to. They didn't have to represent a means to increase Epstein's wealth. Instead, they were given access if they had unique expertise and reach. Then they could be placed as one of those marquee names in his files. Genius in linguistics and well-connected in politics Noam Chomsky  was selected for the collection. The relationship essentially was intellectual.   The reality of Chomsky's name popping up in the recent release of the Epstein files - yes, there  was a major dump today - enhances his reputation. Not hurt it as it had, for example, source of wealth for Epstein: Apollo co-founder Leon Black. That reputational blow had been so severe that his long-term law firm Paul, Weiss made it public in a 2022 BusinessInsider interview that it no longer represented Black. Unlike Black, it could have added to your brand equity if the world discovered in today's p...

OBSESSION! Some of Those Associated with Jeffrey Epstein Will Never Fully Regain Their Reputations

  Larry Summers Les Wexner Leon Black  Now the odds are that they and a number of others closely associated with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein will never fully escape reputational tainting. What has happened is this: The interest in Epstein has crossed the line from entertainment to total obsession. Otherwise, The New York Times, focused on attracting and keeping eyeballs, wouldn't have dared publish today a very long-form very detailed chronicle of Epstein's rise to enormous wealth, power and influence.  Here is that amazing NYT analysis. In it appear the names of the above three. And, going forward it's predictable every article about them and their obituary will note that Epstein linkage. Meanwhile any progress they had made in clawing their way back to positive brand equity probably will now go poof.  For a bit, Black, for example, was enjoying jaw-jawing with media such as Puck, giving snippets of what Epstein was like. They were eating it up. But it's li...
