LOL. According to your "logical reasoning" since no one but Epstein and Maxwell has been charged, either all American voters are "morally complicit" of their crimes, or Epstein and Maxwell are innocent and all the surviving victims are lying.

It it did, it didn't work. From Jan. 2021 to Jan. 2025, DOJ (& SDNY) prosecuted G. Maxwell, got her definitely sentenced, and released Epstein's "associates" files.

If the US government and social media are anything to by, in America you assume lots of people are guilty even if they've never been charged. I remember "They're eating your cats, they're eating you dogs..."

It would make sense if Epstein's clients had been prosecuted. If police, DAs, university presidents & other authorities hadn't ignored the evidence for decades & forced the victims to keep silent or disappear. If we could believe them when they say they are outraged.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
