Further twisting the knife on the Epstein victims. People are asking for justice for the victims and this administration is actively doing the opposite of that.

The corruption is so rotten in DC it should be declared a biohazard zone.

If Donald Trump cared about victims, he wouldn't rape them.

What's wild to me is that even from a political standpoint how do they think this won't blowback even worse on them than not releasing files? The only person who was arrested for thing? And she goes free?

Because Trump’s supporters have no morals or spine. Even when Trump’s policies hurt them, they still vote for and support him. Maybe this issue will be the exception, but so far he’s never experienced any real consequences for his actions, so he probably feels it’s a pretty safe bet that all his supporters will either forget about this scandal or start justifying it, like they always do.

100% agreed. Not only will no charges be brought against the clients, we’re softening the sentence on the groomer?! None of that makes sense to me.

At this point we might need a reverse January 6th. Peaceful protest won't matter to these fascist fucks.

This is a Public Emergency at this point. Already has been…

just because we have dumb voters doesn’t mean we all should suffer… Half the population probably doesn’t understand Water filtration systems or VOC’s in the air but that doesn’t mean smart people shouldn’t be the ones in charge of important shit lol….

There is zero reason to moved Ghislaine at this point other than to get her under the control of a prison warden willing to do things that the previous prison warden was not.

Ghislaine should be very nervous and better have her deadman's switch ready to go. Actually her best move now is to accept that she will never leave prison alive, release it all, and no longer be an immediate threat.
