General Discussion

There are obviously complex legal questions here, but let us know what considerations are holding you back. The cynic in me says six is an awful standard number. I guess so is 5 or 10 or 12, but I hope they aren’t just negotiating who the lucky six will be. Sexual predators are not known for self correcting their behaviors, so many involved are likely to be involved with some other trafficking scenario. I know it’s somewhat simple minded to compare this with a fictional narrative. But, if I was watching a movie where after 25 years of horrors and coverups transparency emerged and multiple represtaives came out and said “if the questionable Justice Department does not comply with the law and release the names of the implicated we now know, we might have to do so ourselves”, my face would hit my palm and wonder how much longer the movie is going to be. Or even worse, is this one of those movies where the lesson is more about the inevitability of corruption rather than justice? I’m still hopeful, but now that we have a better understanding of the scope of Epstein’s operations, the paucity of leaks over the years challenges my faith.
