Here's the thing about the Trump/Epstein affair that nobody is saying out loud but that we're all thinking... [View all]

If you are aware of, if you have knowledge of, if you have evidence of, even if you merely have a suspicion of any minor being sexually exploited in any manner and if you take no action to report that sexual exploitation to the proper authorities AND follow up on the results of your reporting, then you are complicit. Which is to say that every single individual who has held in their own hands or has viewed with their own eyes any evidence of Trump's and/or Epstein's sexual exploitation of minors has an obligation to bring to light that evidence. This is no longer just about Trump and Epstein. This is also now about all of the lawyers, prosecutors, members of Congress and others who are privy to that which has only been hinted at to the general public. This is about a trail of evidence that will separate those who did the right thing from those who did not. Remember this when you read or hear about the legal procedures, Congressional votes and Presidential signatures deemed "necessary" to reveal the truth. Who were all of these rules established to protect? Certainly not the victims.
