2. Please MSM: criminality isn't the one and only consideration in the Epstein files. Yes there is criminality

among some or many of the players. Heinous crimes. But as often as not, MSM (inc Dan Abrams show) is ready to say that no criminality is apparent from files released so far. Probably because Trump involvement is redacted or not released yet. And the argument we hear has to do with INDICTING this person or that person. Administration says there's not enough evidence to indict anyone (not that we trust what they say).

HOWEVER, the nation's interest in the files goes WAY beyond just a threshold for criminal indictment. We are concerned with:

...are these people in positions of power exposed to blackmail because of what's known about their activities? Hugely important to know if TSF or Lettner or others are compromised, no? Who owns who?

...the survivors are owed a full exploration and discussion...indictments or not

...we need to know who in govt is lying

...we need to know how the judicial system failed, from the very beginning

...we need to know how the ultra elite operate to escape responsibility, accountability, justice.
