Everyone knew. It was public knowledge, yet Ghislane was still invited to the party. That's her whole point.

Epstein was investigated by the FBI in 2008. He's a convicted pedophile. Everyone knew this. Everyone knew Ghislane was his associate. So the real person to blame is the person who made the guest list for the party, and I think that's who Ellen Pao is trying to call out.

Although I'm all pitchforks you may well be correct here.

I mean there are reasons to be legitimately upset at whoever organized this entrapment party, but Pao is just the messenger. People reacting at Pao like they have is the exact reason more people don't open up about this stuff. She's just saying "this was public knowledge, yet this person was still allowed, isn't that weird?" and I think that's a perfectly reasonable question, despite the fact she asked it a decade after the fact.

The way many people are reacting, it's like going to a party where OJ Simpson shows up and then going "who allowed the murderer here?" and then everyone going "You knew he was murderer? Why didn't you say something!"

Yup. We ALL knew for years. She was probably as shocked as anyone

Yup. So whoever organized the party is to blame, and probably did it with the intention of it being a mossad-backed entrapment party.

Fits the current narrative, yes.
