Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Agree or disagree: The Epstein fallout is now more about guilt by association than guilt by deeds." As millions of pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein become public, prominent figures are resigning, apologizing, and facing reputational ruin — often without charges or proven wrongdoing. Michael examines whether the national reaction has crossed from accountability into indiscriminate shaming. Are we abandoning the presumption of innocence in favor of public cancellation? With references to past DOJ norms, media scrutiny, and historical lessons from the McCarthy era, this episode asks whether knowing Epstein is being treated as equivalent to criminal conduct — and what that means for due process in America.
