  I am half inclined to believe he just wanted help filing his taxes and a guilty Chomsky would have the sense to lie.

  Yup, that sounds like him. He isn’t above bullshitting but not bothering to bullshit hints he believed he had nothing to hide.

  I guess he’s still in the “when in doubt, treat them as innocent” category for me.

    That sounds like Chomsky? Doing the taxes of an uber wealth financier/convicted pedophile?

    Stop lying to yourself.

      That sounds like Chomsky? Doing the taxes of an uber wealth financier/convicted pedophile?

      The inverse: the über rich paedophile doing Chomsky’s taxes.

      Plus Chomsky being smart+shitty enough to bullshit when in trouble, instead of saying “none of your business”. If Chomsky did the later instead of the former, it’s a sign he didn’t see any need to bullshit.

      Stop lying to yourself.

      A person lying to oneself would not say “when in doubt”. Or to “not [be] aware on how much Chomsky should be blamed”. Or talk about the “hypothesis” he is innocent. They’d be vomiting certainty: “Chomsky is [innocent|guilty] lol”.

      Instead, a person lying to oneself would be vomiting certainty like an assumer, re-eating their own vomit, and expecting others to eat it too.

      So perhaps the one being a liar (or worse, an assumer) here is not me.

        She thinks, buddy. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

        We all knew who Epstein was by that point. He should know better.

        How self deluded do you need to be in order to convince yourself that Chomsky reached out to the most notorious convicted pedophile in American history for some help with his taxes?

        I mean, Jesus Christ dude… It’s like you NEED this to be true.
