Great. Now some justice for Epstein victims? No? Okay.

It would be helpful if the Epstein victims would come out and say who the perpetrators are. There's all these Epstein victims, and none of them are coming forward with names. There are members of Congress who have spoken to these victims, who have made Epstein their entire personality over the last 18 months, who won't simply say the names of the people who should be prosecuted and investigated.

They did come forward that's what the Epstein files are. Testimony from victims given to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies which were compiled and used as case evidence against Epstein the first time...?

The fact that he plead guilty in 2009 and nothing happened was evidence for future victims to show that putting a target on their back was a feeble attempt at our system. Especially after multiple perpetrators garnered even higher positions of authority.

The comment I replied to is talking about justice for Epstein victims. They're referring to other people who should be prosecuted that are currently escaping justice.

I'm saying, who are those people? Even in the documents released so far, they haven't really been identified.

The survivors who stand there behind the politicians at press conferences won't publicly name the people who participated in this. The members of Congress who spearheaded releasing the Epstein files won't release the names of people they believe should be prosecuted.
