The question we have to ask ourselves is,

a thousand children were raped. A hundred or more rich, powerful, well connected men got to live our nightmares out on Epstein's island,. What did Merrick Garland's DOJ have to show for their four years of work?

I don't care if the perps were Bill Clinton or Larry Ellison or anyone else. What the fuck happened? Krasnov was suspect No. 1. One might think Garland was a plant.

Among the cheerleaders, one of the sacrosanct commandments is "Thou shalt not speak ill of Garland."

3. Epstein's crimes became a national scandal in 2019 when Alex Acosta was forced to resign.

In 2007, Alex Acosta, who was then a U.S. attorney, oversaw a sweetheart plea deal that gave Epstein immunity from federal prosecution and allowed him to plead guilty to lesser state charges for sexually abusing young girls. "The indictment alleged that from at least 2002 to 2005, Epstein 'enticed and recruited' underage girls to his Manhattan mansion and his estate in Palm Beach, Fla., to engage in sex acts with him, after which he would pay the victims hundreds of dollars." In 2019 Trump defended Alex Acosta, his Labor Secretary at the time, for the outrageous Epstein plea agreement, and denied any significant ties between Epstein and himself. Epstein's (and Trump's alleged) crimes should have been fully investigated by Garland's DOJ during the four years he was AG.

slow walking the process the whole way along, myself? Does this mean that just because a person has become (recently) wealthy & powerful that statutory rape, human trafficking, fraud, money laundering, intimidation, manipulating Wall Street, making money off of the presidency, and murder are allowable?

What a great monopoly card to have as part of his/their repertoire!

Allegedly some were as young as 13/14?

Where is justice for them?

What does this teach our young girls/women about their worth?

This pi$$e$ me off! I have a niece and a granddaughter who are 13/14. They are so beautiful and innocent.

The very idea of one or both being treated like a piece of meat disgusts me to no end.

The question I want to ask is how do you (the pedophiles) live with yourselves? Huh? Innocence’s loss for your pedo fantasy?

Yeah, big man! You shake it off while this young girl lives with your assault for the rest of her life!

These “men” should be exposed for the cockroaches they are!
