Soon to be renamed the Melinda French Foundation.

I was thinking more “Gates Sucks Foundation”. Like, there’s no way she didn’t know what was going on as well.

I’d be willing to pretend she didn’t if it results in some people being held accountable.

No shit. Like the only person is one woman in jail. All those creepy guys not touched.

I welcome the word "external", but with caution about how external or objective that is in reality. It wouldn't be the first external review that commissioned a sympathetic organization or one headed up by a family or friend.

I bet this is just the usual public relations exercise of "We have investigated ourselves and concluded we did nothing wrong"

Not accused, sure, but there are some interesting correspondences between him and Epstein. Way to gloss over that.

his foundation was always his way of reiveniting his image because of epstein.
