Some of the many survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their “clients,” overcame fear, threats and despair and banded together so their voices could no longer be ignored. While the entire truth will probably never come out, Team Pedophile/Team Rape is on notice that they and their enablers risk exposure every minute for the rest of their lives. The “team” includes princes, politicians, prime ministers, financiers, “intellectuals,” lawyers and other entitled predators. Keep looking over your shoulders, and better buy the wife another diamond or two.
At a press conference this morning before the House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Representative Ro Khanna stated that today was the first day of real reckoning for the “Epstein class”–rich and powerful, grotesque men who raped and abused girls without fear of any consequence. He explained that the “celebration train” these fucks have enjoyed for so long should stop today. No buildings named after them, no scholarships named after them, no perks of being affiliated with corporations or universities, or writing op-eds or being lionized in any way. No more celebrating these monsters in any society.
(The press conference starts at about the 3:12 mark.)
The system that was supposed to protect children–girls and boys I might add–is on display again for having failed them repeatedly and consistently, for decades. The failures and dirty legal dealings in the Epstein/Maxwell case are so staggering and the cover-up so extensive, obvious and continuing, that all but one member of the House voted to pass the Bill. (I realize many just want to be re-elected and/or were following orders from the “boss,” who rather than risk a loss said–sure, go ahead and vote yes, we’ll take care of it down the line.)
Team Cover-Up (Trump, Vance, Bondi and Patel and assorted co-conspirator underlings) continues to work behind the scenes as the House Bill heads to the Senate for a vote. These players will stop at nothing to further facilitate the destroying of evidence and the obscuring of the truth–about what happened to the survivors, who engaged in the crimes, who financed them, who else knew and said nothing, and what really happened to Epstein at the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center.
P.S., the president could release the files this afternoon; there was no need for any vote, but for his intransigence, inartfully executed by little Mike Johnson.
I expect shenanigans in the Senate, as well as obviously corrupt “open investigation” claims by Bondi, who previously said there was nothing to prosecute in those files; case closed. And by the way, Team Rape still wants you to think only Democrats cavorted with Epstein.
Yet the cry for transparency will not be silenced. And the cry to return the pedophile and human trafficking co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, to a prison for sex offenders should only get louder. She has again perjured herself, with the assistance of suborner Todd Blanche, and her word is worthless. Maxwell was sentenced to a 20-year federal prison sentence for her participation in these crimes after a month-long trial. Even this US Supreme Court denied her appeal petition. Maxwell’s exploitation of girls was in fact rewarded by this administration. You should be outraged at this part of the saga alone.
The Universe is sick of the complicity that protects predators. They can afford their high-powered legal teams but are entitled to nothing more than the Due Process afforded any criminal defendant. Maybe even just the brand of Due Process being afforded by ICE, especially if they attempt to go after survivors with their dirty tactics. Justice should matter more than the influence exerted by these monsters on politicians, law enforcement and prosecutors. But we all know it is an old playbook. It was outed today for a change, in a way that cannot be denied.
The lack of humanity demonstrated by these predators and their enablers will be exposed one way or the other. It may take more time, as this an administration that openly facilitates sex predators. Yet another example:
The survivors are patient and wise. They’ve waited this long and the fear/despair game is over. Let’s hope the tables are in fact turned on these monsters and their attorneys. Fear and despair should be their destiny now.
Today was a good start.
