When reading my first bullet point, I realize I could have been more precise.
I am referring only to the publication of the files, the new information. I do not doubt that Epstein and Maxwell are guilty, of course.

Concerning the new info relating to the abuse topic, there are only a lot of names mentioned, but little or no proof (!) of actual crimes published.
And yes, everyone wants to know what Epstein's "customers" did and wants to see actual litigation.

As for the age cutoff...17. To be guilty of trafficking the offender does not have to traffic in an underage person, although Epstein and his ilk seemed to prefer them.

• There are many victims. And I don't know about the details of these cases. But, as far as I know, Epstein was not convicted for "child sex trafficking", but for solicitation of prostitution (in some cases of minors).

It's not a party thing, although one party is being blamed for it now.

• Yes. Why is that? My thoughts:
• Democrats either completely ignored this topic or even tried to cover it up. Would we have seen any of this new information if Kamala had won the Elections? Now Trump uses this information (either for deals with or intimidation of enemies?) and selectively publishes information. That is at least not "best practice".
• Russia: there is quite some evidence that Epstein was a Russian agent (https://x.com/DenShtilierman/status/2019075915028836818 ), as was Robert Maxwell since the 1970s. As the Democrats are the party that has been (is?) more pro-Soviet/Russia for decades (we're talking pre-2016), there may be some dirty connections, perhaps even regarding Trump. I hope this affair will be completely clarified. Yes, let the sun shine in!
