No one in this Bluesky post has filed lawsuits for defamation.

[Swede]

odd innit?

Have you noticed that no one on this list, or any other Epstein list, has filed any lawsuits for defamation? I wonder why?

1. Further opens the door ......................

re: Epstein files.

Assholes want it swept under the rug and disappear forever.

[spanone]

2. Because they're all guilty as hell.

[BComplex]

23. And because discovery is hell.

But would be heaven for the rest of us!!!

3. Well, Melania wanted to "stand out" among other First Ladies... I'd say she has...

(with public contempt polling proving it so)... I certainly detest her. (and no, I am not ignoring the rest, but along with Trump, they would take days or more to discuss and I have to go to work).

[Swede]

6. Got a link?

Cause I don't see it.

[mopinko]

14. i stand corrected. see reply #8.

[Swede]

18. With all the shit going on, its hard to keep track.

And it never ends.

8. M threatened but did not sue

Wolff responded with an anti-SLAPP [https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/courtside/author-michael-wolff-pounces-before-melania-trump-can-slapp-him/]

[mopinko]

15. thank u for correcting me.

i wonder when the book is coming out.

[TBF]

17. Wolff was involved with the money, is Ellie Leonard's take -

I subscribe to her on Substack and hope the link will come through. She has been examining all the emails she can get and has been piecing this together. So far, from what I've seen, it seems that Wolff knew Epstein very well over many years - and was involved on the money side rather than abuse of girls.

5. Discovery's a bitch.

[appmanga]

7. Truth is an absolute affirmative defense...

...to defamation. Add to this all these folks are public figures, which raises the bar to include "malice", and they know they have no chance of prevailing. And, as someone else pointed out, they don't want to be part of discovery.

[Coolgoober]

9. And I See A Couple Of Them

Who love to sue

[Betty Boom]

10. Because they don't want comply with discovery

And they don’t want to be deposed.

[FakeNoose]

20. Bingo!

They've probably looked into it, and then they got talked down by their lawyers. The lawyers KNOW better.

I was surprised to see Kennedy's name on there. Didn't know he was a "friend" of Jeffrey's.

[flashman13]

11. I can answer the why question in one word: Depositions. Being put under oath and sitting for a deposition scares

the shit out of all of them.

[Joinfortmill]

12. Ha!

[republianmushroom]

13. Discovery is a brutal thing.

[Passages]

16. Discovery, depositions are pretty scary territory for guilty parties.

[70sEraVet]

21. One clarification:

"Current and former Trump Admin officials in the Epstein Files" SO FAR!
Millions of pages yet to be released, and redactions galore yet to be revealed.

[Wonder Why]

22. it's the FBI's Most Wanted list.

[ificandream]

24. You know habitual suit filer Trump if it wasn't for the discovery.

He'd get plastered there.
