    Crucially, the invitation to JKR’s play came in 2018, when Epstein was already in jail. You have to be a special kind of dumb to still invite him to a public event at that point. Compared to that, Bill Clinton’s contacts in 2002-2003 have pretty decent plausible deniability - it’s at least possible that he didn’t know that Epstein was a pedo rapist + pedo pimp, since that was before any accusations against him became public.
