Unfortunately the documents committed suicide by setting themselves on fire, we still don't know how the documents managed to smuggle lighter fluid and a set of matches into their locked filing cabinet.
I'm troubled by the word "associate" which doesn't imply any wrongdoing. We already know of many "associates", some very high profile including multiple former presidents, who haven't suffered for it. If all they do is name "associates", people will believe only the "associates" they already don't like are pedos.

Why is this so high on viral so much? THIS LIST ISN'T EVIDENCE AND MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM WILL NEVER BE ARRESTED. And it could open a ton of people to defamation lawsuits.
Because people will immediately start accusing them of being pedophiles. Which we can all agree can harm someone's reputation. And you have a potentially false published statement. The only part of a defamation claim missing at that point (considering that the falseness of the statement has to be assumed to be false until proven otherwise), would be negligence. Whether the person stating it KNEW it was false and did it intentionally to cause the harm. Starting the lawsuit would at least be easy.
Elon Musk was sued for defamation for calling someone "pedo guy" and got away with it by claiming it was a general insult. But there were some analysts that said he could have lost that easily.
lol I was just talking to my wife this morning about this. “Bet the QAnon folk who have been demanding the list will pivot to a new conspiracy theory now”
I wouldn't be surprised if the Q-Loons ended up being Pro-Pedo after seeing the dozens of Republicans and of course their lord and savior Donald Trump on that list.
Everyone listed will be found guilty of raping children in the court of public opinion no evidence of them committing crimes is needed. An Association with a criminal is not a crime.
This is a problem. However another problem is that rich and powerful people create the rules, so unless this is done we can likely expect nothing else would have been done.
Smh how could someone as bad as Hitler not be in that circle. Unless he was never real and made up by liberal media to make Nazis look evil, wake up sheeple /s
Might still be, it’s not like they write any of their own content anyway. They very well might steal it from here, I’ve seen em use Reddit as a reference, why not Imgur comments?
Come on now, that would imply the entire population of the world is "over 170" people. That can't possibly be right? The news only seems to report on the same 60-80 people.

Seems like a lot of people are now reporting it, so promising. Time will tell though.

Who can appeal to stop it from being released?
Or... who WOULD. because I feel like that'd be admitting to something

Learning names isn't hope, getting all of them in court is.

It’s an important first step. Also, the court of public opinion can take care of them in the meantime.

I’m surprised this was upvoted, honestly. Imgur’s community is mostly pretty solid, but tends to turn Q-ish when it comes to this case.

That was my thought. Associates does not equal clients.

Yeah, specifies in the article some names are just listed in court filings with little detail of why

170 out of how many?

Are you suggeting that the entire population of the planet went to Little St James?

So 80 people, give or take, plus the four of us. Huh, yeah, 170 doesn't seem plausible when you do your own research and really dig deep.
