Access journalism is already a cancer. This is something worse than cancer.
Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

In March, a security guard at Club Dwntown sucker punched Rafeal Montoya and killed him. Police officers watched it happen and did nothing and the security has never been charged. Now he’s missing.
Turns out the security guard was Charles "Brandon" Recor, a Proud Boy with a history of violence.
