They will investigate and find one of two things:
Epstein didn't exist and it's all a collective hallucination, stop talking about it.
They did it and they are going to jail (their homes but they are unable to leave pretty please), getting bailed out in two to five years when all blows over. Some of them maybe will show up suicided.
No hopes for the system that rewards the most sociopathic behavior or generational wealth to rise to the top.
LOL yes they are. And we're about to find out.
We need an angry mob to hunt them down.
Nice sentiment but I'm not hopeful for it matching reality under the current political system.
‘No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law’
Oh, I get it! It's funny because it's not true! Ha ha!
Sure. Now let’s stop saying the thing and actually do the thing.
No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law
Aww, I too enjoy some wholesome fiction.
I can't remember where I found it, but there's a paper or book somewhere that basically states that, in systems of oppression, exceptions to the law for a select elite are not only common, but fundamental to how systems of oppression work.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Oh yes, the famous bastions of conservatism surrounding Epstein, like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Woody Allen!
As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic, thoughtless talking points we so often criticize the right for.
Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You've clearly nailed it.
Go for it, be the change you want to see. Say something critical and nuanced.
Have these experts not heard of America?
I really hope thats true, because so far, it hasn't been.
Well, you say that...
The evidence says otherwise but okay...
Prove it. Arrest them before a bunch of folks have to get in trouble for getting out the guillotine.
Oh my god I wish that actually becomes true.
In a just world, most of this administration would be behind bars. Same with fElon and Bannon and Stone and other people not necessarily in the administration.
They did open up a formal investigation. We will have to see
SCOTUS says one person is above all laws.
It's not that I'm not grateful that the UN has published something about this, but when there are 3 separate caveats in the first sentence that "it's totally not us saying this officially!", it emphasizes how useless the UN is at dealing with its blessed founding member. Really disappointing while being in no way surprising.
Unless the law never tries.
