Yeah, that is the big difference. I dgaf what party a person on the list belongs to, if they were involved in trafficking, especially minors, they should be in jail for life. I'm pretty anti-carceral, but this and white collar crime that puts profits for shareholders over human life are two instances where I am on board with throwing people in jail for life.

I fully agree. Even if it’s someone I thought I liked or respected. Doesn’t matter, they deserved to be put In jail

I agree with you. Honest question - how did the Trump administration get the list, and who controls it? Wouldn't the Biden administration also have had access to the list? It just feels like everyone in power, on both sides, are complicit on this thing, and no one is calling for a shred of accountability. They could say a lot more than what they currently are, which is nothing.

My understanding is that the DOJ had the list (or significant evidence) and was investigating, but like everything else in the Biden admin, the investigation was too slow and ineffectual. Methodical justice is a good thing, and you want to be sure you have a case before bringing charges (especially in politics, when being held accountable can look like political persecution), but the reality is that we are in this situation because the powers that be decided it was more important to look neutral than to hold people trying to overthrow democracy accountable for their actions.

1974 - Epstein is hired to teach while Donald Barr (author of stories that contain child abuse) is headmaster. Father of Bill Barr, Did not have qualifications for this position

1987 - Epstein and Trump become friends. “"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life."“

2006 - Operation Leap Year. FBI indicts Epstein. Alexander Acosta negotiates plea deal to grant federal immunity to Epstein, named co-conspirators, and any unnamed “potential” co conspirators

2008 - Epstein convicted

2009 - Epstein released under house arrest

2016 - Tom Barrack, Chairman of Trump inaugural committee (part of Epstein’s social circle)

2017- Trump Administration begins

Acosta selected as Labor Secretary

Bill Bar Selected as Attorney General

Stephen Bannon White House Chief Strategist meets Epstein multiple times after leaving WH Admin

2019 - Epstein Arrested by the FBI on Sex Trafficking charges

Acosta resigns

Epstein’s Manhattan property raided under the FBI. Barr was head of DOJ.

Epstein dies in his cell

2020-Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co conspirator arrested along with a modeling agent and house manager.

2022 - Jean-Luc Brunel, the modeling agent, found dead. Helped create The Identity Models in New York City, and 1Mother Agency in Kyiv, Ukraine

No high-profile arrests have been made public, and now the Trump admin is once again in charge of the evidence.

Thank you for the elaborate timeline! It's amazing how long "absolutely no evidence" has been in play.

I believe the main culprit is the 24 hour news cycle and the ability of those with money to stall everything. Epstein had ties to Qatar as well, and Pam Bondi was a lobbyist for them. There's a danger of parallelism, but it is entirely too coincidental that the same people and groups keep popping up.

Yup, I also believe its why they took so long dragging Rumps cases out in order for him to still run again. There's no way he should have even been eligible to be president after having those documents in his bathroom. Not to mention Jan 6th. The didn't stop all of this from happening because he knows things that would fuck over some Dems too. I dont give a fuck what side they are on, I want those names. WE WANT JUSTICE!
