> It is not about that he defended him, it is about how. He didn't defend Epstein. Quite the opposite. > Minsky did associate with him nevertheless. Apparently, so did many, many other people. Very few of which have somehow been mentioned in this scandal. Anyway, that is obviously reaching. Simply being in the vicinity of a known convict is not a reason for having a career destroyed.
