The Epstein Files shouldn't be political entertainment; they should be a list of people we remove from public life.

Child abusers should never know a moment's peace for the remainder of their days and we are all morally fucking obliged to make sure of it.

We are witnessing in real time every media apparatus spring into action to spread doubt and preemptively excuse their own.
There is no sign that any legal mechanism is going to be used to bring justice to these people.
It is therefore incumbent on us to fill the gap.

OMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.

Are DHS & ICE "making it impossible for counsel to comply?"
