I don’t think his statement says they are the highest authority but sounds more like the minimum authority for criminals being punished for their crime.
excellent observation. does this imply chomsky was aware of the sins of epstein?
I can't stand Chomsky's politics but that doesn't change the fact what he is saying is correct.
It is a really bad look for someone with Chomsky's reputation but to go beyond that is witch hunting. Pretty straight forward witch hunting.
I mean he knew that he committed a very serious crime and at the very least didn't follow up before working with him.
