    ha, of course they were

    this thing has been a charade and the biggest coverup in American history by far

    we were really supposed to sit here and believe this whole time that only Epstein and Ghislaine committed crimes or that with everything that’s been collected that there was only enough evidence to bring those 2 to trial

    now Epstein is dead and Ghislaine basically has VIP backstage passes in prison…she’s over there getting her feet rubbed and fed grapes while watching TV

    Trump is clean. Liberals swing and miss again! How many lies can a group of Democrats + Media tell about Trump? Everyone knows the Democrats are just dishonest people. 18% approval rating and only 15% of men approve of Democrats. We definitely have a lot of that effeminate 15% around here.




    GOOD DAY

    This is the character of Democrats — absolutely despicable.



    Trump is clean, Democrats like Clinton are filthy, and yet the liberals continue to lie and falsely accuse Trump of wrongdoing. Liberals just have no integrity, amigos!


    GOOD DAY

    Sorry what is the accusation? Smiling and nodding? You are stooping to new lows here — there is absolutely nothing against Trump. On the heels of the Russian collusion 8 year lie, Democrats need to rebuild their credibility. The Epstein-Trump lies are just setting Democrats back further. The American liberal has no shame — he will lie for years and not see the problem.

    GOOD DAY

    That civil case that proven liar @astros123 is quoting was dismissed but not before Jane Doe said Trump did nothing wrong! Dems swing and miss AGAIN. They have nothing, folks. Yet they continue to shamelessly lie and falsely accuse Trump. Just awful behavior from horribly dishonest people.

    At this point we can just marvel and laugh at the Democrats dishonest tactics! Amazing!


    GOOD DAY

    First of all, nothing was done for decades. This is a good article written by Blanche Bong Cook, Loyola University Chicago, School of Law. She is not only a sex trafficking scholar, but a former federal prosecutor who specialized in large scale federal sex trafficking prosecutions.

    Jeffrey Epstein: Pedophiles, Prosecutors, and and Power

    Quote from the article...

    As journalist Julie K. Brown and Professor Marci Hamilton have argued, Epstein, like Harvey Weinstein, is not a story about individual bad actors; instead, it is a story about the complicity of the criminal legal process in facilitating rape and rape culture through prosecutorial collusion, victim blaming, and the refusal to recognize the humanity of victims. It is a story about how white heteropatriarchy creates racialized, classed, and gendered hierarchies that result in disparate material realities.

    Greater public awareness about a larger problem of underprosecuted sex crimes and what Thusi calls the "pathology of prosecutors," are all long overdue. Hamilton has argued that what Acosta and other prosecutors did mirrors what powerful religious institutions have done to protect pedophiles in their midst, namely silence the victims and protect the offenders. As Hamilton argues, "The orchestration of power by men only is protected as long as everybody agrees to keep it secret. This is a story the world needs to hear."

    Abstract from Article

    Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy, white, billionaire child rapist, ran an international sex trafficking ring. Rather than prosecute Epstein, Alex Acosta, a former United States Attorney, brokered a deal with Epstein's defense attorneys coined, "the sweetheart deal of the century." When Acosta abdicated his role as a state functionary and allowed Epstein's defense attorneys to dictate the terms of Epstein's freedom, Acosta gave the power of the State to private parties to protect a recidivist child rapist.

    The failure to prosecute Epstein is all the more problematic because it sits at the epicenter of mass incarceration. Through its carceral system, the United States disappears persons of color from existence, the political process, and the capacity to reproduce at rates both unprecedented and staggering. Epstein, however, inhabited a body that dictated the unprecedented process he received. Long before law enforcement discovered scores of Epstein's child victims, Epstein's race, class, and gender (his white heteropatriarchal privilege) incentivized the federal government to decline prosecuting him. Epstein's body prescribed his humanity, while his victims, often poor and female, lacked humanity and received no process. Acosta declined to prosecute Epstein, when the United States incarcerates more people than any other county in the whole of human history when there is a desire to prosecute.

    The preferential treatment prosecutors conferred upon Epstein demonstrates prosecutors' active involvement in the social construction of white supremacy, white heteropatriarchy, white innocence, and Black demonry. The failure to prosecute Epstein constructs white male ruling class innocence in the same way that hyperincarceration constructs Black guilt.

    Both are sides of the same hegemonic coin. Epstein demonstrates the ways in which prosecutors distribute premature death in vulnerable communities and life and liberty for the rich and powerful. Epstein dramatically illustrates that white heteropatriarchy is the result of both individual decision-making and structural dynamics within the criminal legal process. This two-tiered system of criminal justice, life for the powerful and death and destruction for the vulnerable, solidifies calls for abolition. Abolitionism, thus, becomes neither hyperbolic nor hysterical, but rather, a measured and reasonable response to a criminal justice system that targets vulnerable communities for cultural trauma and freedom for the powerful.

    Now, if anything is finally done, then it will all be based on political party affiliation and connections to Trump when it comes to who gets away with what. After all, pardons are a President's best friend, and if that doesn't work, the there will be country club prison facilities for the special ones.

    Did the partial release reveal any of the 20+ names of men accused of sex crimes, as Congressman Thomas Massie stated in his video the day before the release?

    Massie’s answer: “Today’s document release … grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law.”

    The law does allow consequences for noncompliance, but enforcing them depends on DOJ action or sustained congressional pressure. If neither is willing to act, the remaining accountability is political rather than legal: public pressure, elections, and who voters choose to send to Congress in 2026.

    It's not a Cabinet, it's a Junk Drawer.

    All straight from central casting "hench men" category.
