epsteins case tells you how much the US political class cares about SA and CSA happening in the US.
- ryandrake 2mo agoYea, until at least one non-ringleader Epstein party participant goes to jail, I'm not going to believe the US actually gives a shit about protecting children.
- throwaway85825 2mo agoEvery president since Clinton protected epstein too, it's not a partisan thing.
- derektank 2mo agoThere’s no concrete evidence that anyone besides Epstein (and by extension Maxwell, who assisted Epstein) actually abused children. Besides the testimony of Virginia Giuffre, nobody else has claimed they were sexually assaulted as minors (Sjoberg was groped by Prince Andrew at Epstein’s home when she was in her early 20s). And neither the FBI nor the Palm Beach PD found physical evidence of such or communications between Epstein or others indicating this was going on. Why would you expect anyone else to go to jail under those circumstances? Proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt seems very unlikely
- ryandrake 2mo agoI'd at least expect there to be an investigation, based on the huge volume of information that already exists. Unless we believe that the files are just 3 million pages of casserole recipes and that the people who visited just went to play Settlers of Catan.
- marysol5 2mo agoTo be utterly fair, most of the "emails" are just inane conversations he had with people. People love to throw around the statistics about the number of documents, but most are entirely blah
- ipaddr 2mo agoThere is if someone would follow the money trail. Plenty of hard facts to reach a guilty outcome. And over half of the papers haven't been released. If someone motivated comes to power there is a good chance.
- blackqueeriroh 2mo agoWhere are the hard facts about this? If you know them why haven’t you shared them?
- dartharva 2mo agoJust in case someone might mistake this comment to imply there wasn't actually a large-scale CSA-as-a-service business happening on his island - FBI has officially declared the number of minor victims to be over a thousand: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1407001/dl https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1407001/dl It was an industrial-scale racket. It is impossible for that kind of number of victims to be just for one person or group's recreation.
- austhrow743 2mo agoI think you linked to the wrong document, unless you're taking "Epstein had over ten thousand pornographic videos and images" as "there were over one thousand minor victims" which doesn't follow as a logical conclusion.
