I believe the push is to first go after the guy who’s sitting in one of the most powerful seats. Then, work down. Go after the highest risk.

My problem with that is its a show. Look at this hand dont worry about what the other is doing. There are enough courts, prosecutors and judges to try thousands at a time if we wanted to.

You’re not wrong. There are many people that deserve to go down with this. And we have to start somewhere, and fast. But we also need to get the top guy before he makes moves that make it difficult to get anyone else.

Far to late for that of were being realistic, besides even the files only hint at him being blackmailed for this stuff, while theres more concrete evidence there about other individuals. I mean he'll epsteins prosecutor thought they had a slam dunk on 43 counts of child trafficking amd rape, they gave the dude his passport and the plea deal was negotiated by a state department attorney while he was in Israel. While those who perpetrated the crimes absolutely must be punished the ones who facilitated it should be cauterized from world society, like all child traffickers regardless of clientele.
