I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if “the public only knew” then something would change. “The public” doesn’t give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

              What pages of publically released Epstein files prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual rapes kids?

                This administration DOJ is run by president’s criminal lawyer, who wants to stay away from the files (interestingly doesn’t even go after Democrats).

                So no, as long this is done don’t get a proper trial.

                But with actions of this administration, you can’t deny that at very least trump and Republicans do everything in their power to protect pedophiles, it does to the point that trump is ok with breaking the law that nearly every Congress person voted for, ruining his own legacy by being labeled one instead releasing the files and at very least cleaning up his own name.

                So yeah, that to me is a proof beyond a reasonable doubt that we are being run by pedophiles and pedophile protectors.

                  We’re talking about things available to the public that confirm individuals as having raped kids.

                    It’s very rare during a trial to have a direct evidence of a crime (so called smoking gun), it usually is multiple corroborating evidence that then is used by prosecutor to paint how the crime was committed.

                    The defense then has to show why that’s not plausible.

                    So can you provide some defense then, because to me it is beyond a reasonable doubt.

                    DOJ killed the investigation, saying there’s no one left to investigate and that Epstein committed all those crimes alone.

                    So why not release the files (especially since law requires it) to clear everyone wrongfuly listed there?
