It's your legacy. The Epstein Files are going to be a thing after everything else about you is forgotten. Go to your stinking grave and eternal damnation with that knowledge (assuming your dissolving brain can hold it) and be quick about it.

He's aging quickly folks. Father Time is getting the best of him. The more he tries to hide it, the more the rinkles and bad skin shows up.
