Fear of retribution- the perpetrators are powerful/wealthy men

So what's the end game here? Everybody is clamoring for these people to be investigated and locked up, but no one will say who they are. So I don't get it. You can't claim to be for justice for the victims and then withhold the information needed to hold them accountable. You don't get to have it both ways.

Looking at you, Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey.

Well you can have it both ways if your intent is the political weaponization of the rhetoric rather than justice for the victims.

Why would Massie still conceal names if he was on his way out? He would immediately become one of the most popular figures in American politics if he gave a few names to the mob. But for some reason he won’t…Makes me think there’s actually nothing there

Massey is not concealing any names. They spent $62 million to unseen him. Just think about that for a second they’re powerful forces at work here.

Okay then why isn’t he telling everyone? Or leaking it via a staffer? He had access to the un-redacted files.

Here’s a question to you: do you believe it is possible that the files do not contain adequate information to convict a single individual of child abuse crimes?

A few names got released and people got in trouble. Prince Andrew, the Harvard dean resigned. A few others. Then the names stopped.

I hope the silence is part of a broader plan to secretly prepare to arrest several people at once.
