It is frustrating and sad to hear these Epstein victims feeling triumphant

I get why they feel as they do. They have to be so to have any hope and move forward.

But at the same time, I know they are bound for more heartbreak because of what is about to happen with the files. They will either continue to be hidden or manipulated shamelessly then used for brazen political purposes.

These poor victims will continue to be treated as negligible pawns.

And on that count alone, I am happy for them.

However, I also know what is most likely to happen and both of those outcomes are going to be a gut punch that then puts them back where they were a year ago. I absolutely hate that and it is like an oncoming train when you're trapped in a tunnel.
