4. Never thought I would agree with Comer, but on just the comment that no one will

believe it he would be correct if he said MANY or SOME might not believe it.

For those who have bought into the most elaborate conspiracy theories, nothing he could establish would be enough. Even if not one additional fact was revealed, enough has been reviled to show disturbing elements in our elite culture.

Here is a short list:
1) Even as law enforcement closed in on Epstein in Florida investigating reports that he was having sex with underage girls, many had to have approved that sweetheart deal, that in addition to being an incredibly weak sentence, charged him with only a very small part of what could have been proven. This meant that though he was a registered sex offender, I think he was only charged with statutory rape. ( Consider it is crazy to say only, but the reality was he raped many underage girls against their wishes.)

2. After he was released from prison, many important people socialized with him. (Part of this .. until the Miami Herald article.. might be something these people explain as someone who served his sentence.) In looking at these contacts from his emails, I wish I had a timeline explaining what was common knowledge at each point in time.

3. Maxwell's trial and conviction and the Miami Herald articles may have been when the story was not just that Epstein was a sex offender, but he and Maxwell ran a nightmare operation where both participated in raping girls. That Trump improved her prison situation should have met with stronger condemnation.

4. From both the victims' accounts and that trial, it seems clear that the sexual abuse was also done by many people, the full list of which is not yet known. Here, the DOJ files might have names of people accused. Although DOJ did not charge anyone, a good question would be were there people Maureen Comey and others were investigating. Those investigations should be restarted.
