I started getting press calls about Chomsky and Epstein yesterday, before I’d looked at the new revelations and saw just how deep the relationship was. (Why is the press calling the press, I said, refusing any comment.)

The latest batch is very ugly and, I think, indefensible. It’s especially disgusting that Noam saw it necessary to shame the victims as hysterics. When it was first revealed that Chomsky had some kind of relationship with Epstein, I was surprised, but not terribly shocked. I assumed he was trying to pick Epstein’s very deep pockets for money for his MIT projects. Hell, Noam had taken money from the Pentagon and DIA in the past. There’s no such thing as clean........
