I mean, I’m sure that if other prominent firm heads were fawning over Epstein in the file dump so far, calling him “amazing,” they’d have been similarly exposed.

Is there a running list of all lawyers and law firms mentioned in the Epstein files, and the extent of their involvement? If someone can create a Wikipedia page for this, that could be one way to centrally gather, organize, and analyze the ties.

The problem is that the line between representation and personal relationships is frequently crossed with Epstein. Jay Lefkowitz from KE, for example, repped him in the earlier criminal case and then invited him to his kid’s (ew) bar mitzvah
