"Poking through the 20,000-plus pages of emails from Jeffrey Epstein's inbox that were released by the House Oversight Committee last week can be a destabilizing experience. If there's one exchange that best evokes the sickly feeling that comes from spending too much time reading these emails, it might be Epstein writing to Silicon Valley vampire Peter Thiel about future plans to meet up and asking, "any interest in woody allen?" to which Thiel responded, "Would"
"Below is a representative selection of what Epstein and his pals liked to chat about over email. Each email exchange should be read bottom to top for proper chronology. Epstein frequently corresponded with Kathryn Ruemmler, who was previously White House Counsel for Barack Obama and is currently general counsel for Goldman Sachs. They liked to talk about politics, and developed a frankly ludicrous recurring bit about how Donald Trump reminded them of the TV character MacGyver:"
The released emails show Epstein engaging in casual, often bizarre correspondence with influential figures. The exchanges mix grotesque social coordination with mundane links, typos, and petty musings. Epstein messaged Peter Thiel about meeting Woody Allen, and traded recurring jokes about Donald Trump resembling MacGyver with Kathryn Ruemmler. Those threads reveal political conversation, personal anxieties, and references to falling-outs with other prominent people. The emails present a pattern of normalization of troubling associations alongside ordinary boomer-style inbox clutter. Chronology in the exchanges runs bottom to top, and some threads end abruptly or trail off.
