    Decent cops seem to be in very short supply, not just in the US. What pisses me off most about this shit is that Biden sat on this stuff for four years without doing anything.

      The investigations were open throughout Biden’s term: legally Biden could not release them. Trump closed them himself, probably thinking he could keep them hidden anyway, until some congresspeople with spine crossed the aisle to make sure he couldn’t.

      So if you wanna get pissed off at someone, remember that Epstein remained a repeat, habitual sexual offender against children after his sentence ended. He never stopped offending. He also never stopped visiting his Florida home in Palm Beach.

      Guess who was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019 and COULD have done something about him, whose actual job it was to do something about him, but did not? Pam Bondi. Where is your ire for her?

      Or for Alexander Acosta, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida that worked hand in hand with Alan Dershowitz and the rest of Epstein’s attorney’s to boil all his crimes down into one offense and give immunity to his unnamed co-conspirators? How has he not made it onto your shit list?

      These are not secrets. These people are not hidden. Their roles in keeping Epstein out of jail are well known, and there are others too. But you blame Biden? The ONE guy who legally could not release the files without closing all the related investigations?

      I will never understand people who claim to be righteously angry at the exact individuals who had nothing to do with what they’re angry about. If it’s worth expending the energy of rage on, it’s worth learning the bare facts of who is actually responsible.

      I bet the evidence was purposely gathered in a way that it wouldn’t be admissible I court.
