    And they say they can’t catch criminals if end to end encryption exists. All this was over email in plaintext with their primary addresses.

    Don’t worry, they’ll get to it once the Panama Papers are dealt with 😎👍

      Wouldn’t even be a far fetch to believe one of the reasons nothing happens around the Epstein papers are the assassinations of journalists who investigated the Panama papers…

    *in the US. Norway has charged Thorbjørn Jagland and in the UK Peter Mandelson and the Andrew formerly known as Prince were arrested, plus a number of other countries have criminal investigations ongoing. All so far for corruption rather than sex crimes but that’s probably a function of what’s easier to prove in court.

        And given how literally everything the right says is projection, it matches up completely with the shit they were accusing Hillary Clinton of

            Then lock him the fuck up. What is confusing about this for you?

            The US sure as shit has the jails and prison space. Heck, I bet the US might even have enough judges, cops, and prosecutors to arrest and try 2, or maybe even more, geriatric pedophiles at the same time.

              Yes we would all love to see that, but the Clintons and Biden made sure that didn’t happen.

              Epstein coverup was a democratic-led game for a long time.

      The released files contain the anonymous tips people sent in, including ones sent after Epstein became public knowledge. This tip was likely fake (or at least the fading embers of my faith in humanity hope it is), but we’ll never know for sure due to the DOJ’s refusal to investigate any of it.

    The DOJ does suck, and Epstein (and Maxwell) were horrific rapists and sex trafficers. However, the files don’t prove a widespread conspiracy, they instead prove what we already knew, that people in power are shitty people, who look the other way, and readily associate with deeply immoral criminals, just to gain influence and network. All this shit about a widespread cannibal cabal makes you look disturbed and conspiratorial, instead of facing the much less crazy, but arguably just as sad facts.

      Right, it just proves there’s a widespread group of people who came together and came to an agreement about the crimes they were committing and how they would get away with it. Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what a word for that would be…

      conspiracy /kən-spîr′ə-sē/
      noun

      An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

      An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.

      Huh, would you look at that, it WAS a conspiracy!

        I just don’t believe there was a large, organized group of people doing cannibalism and such. It is extremely unlikely that such a conspiracy would exist for a sustained period of time.
