The political class and business elites would be happy to see attention to Epstein fade away. But the broader public won't allow it. They correctly sense something is rotten about the earlier investigations (or the lack thereof) and the current coverup...and they're right.

The great @jkbjournalist.bsky.social with another big scoop - DOJ has a list of people who may have committed crimes with Epstein - and Trump is on that list.

"Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. President Trump is on that list, as well as a number of other powerful people."

Here is the FBI's Epstein List

We still don't know what the FBI did to investigate these allegations

3. A proper independent investigation of all the Epstein documents would be undertaken, like the 9/11 commission.
4. Many top Americans should be criminally indicted on the basis of such an Epstein report. /2
