From that ruling:

"Giuffre also alleged she was 'forced' to have sex with Dershowitz, 'model scout' Jean Luc Brunel, and 'many other powerful men, inc. numerous prominent American politicians, powerfGul business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister..."

It's posted further down in Adam Klasfeld's tweet, along with several other postings. There's a lot to read here, most of it is legal and having to do with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's activities with Virginia Giuffre, one of the underage women who sued Maxwell.

In this case Maxwell sued Giuffre for defamation when she gave interviews in British tabloids, mentioning famous men.

I'm just speculating, of course. But one can never put it past lawyers of rich guys to try any argument.

As tempting as this no doubt was to these old buggers, the fear of being caught would have to be overcome I would think. Epstein and company must have somehow offered incredible reassurances that this would not/could not happen.

Some of this sex was definitely not consensual either. What made them imagine it would never be revealed?

Clinton, protected them. Epstein has always operated under the assumption that his own ability to blackmail sex perverts in power would protect him from prosecution.

Was also referring to the well-known trips around the world that Clinton made with Epstein post-presidency (Africa, Asia, Europe) & the chummy relationship they had at the time. If you delve into the actual court documents on Epstein, you figure out fairly quickly that he didn't have friends so much as a collection of potential blackmail victims to guarantee protection.
