Do you share my dismay with our continued failure to offer justice to victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s pyramid system of sexual abuse of vulnerable children?

Faced with a horrible scandal in the 80’s and 90’s, Belgians poured into the streets in the White March to express their outrage over the crimes and failure of the judicial system and support individuals pursuing justice. Our Epstein scandal provides a unique opportunity to convert public outrage into support for survivors and accountability for offenders and those who looked the other way and allowed them to continue.

I like the idea of a White March because of the simplicity. I believe the people would support rallies at the local, state and national level to hold predators accountable, demand resources to protect sexually abused and trafficked children and remind Congress that we will not let this rest.

According to the documentary 'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich’ victims fled the United States. Protests at U.S. Embassies overseas would provide them and their supporters an opportunity to express global opposition to this global scandal. International child sex trafficking cannot be successfully combatted without international cooperation to support the rule of law.

OK. Read it. Makes sense if you believe the way it has been is the way it is and always will be. Your logic is based on more of us currently having faith in the institution of law. We do not.

Clearly Trump & Co. does not. The files release is a GOTTCHA for an admin run wild. Seems appropriate to me.

Ya got a better idea on how to stop this guy?

Telling us that getting the files out is dangerous to institutions is kinda “horse already left the barn”. Yeah, the internet will make hash out of them BUT the internet is making Epstein stuff up every second…

Was the accountability process underway? I think the supreme court's presidential immunity ruling has lowered the American expectation for systemic accountability. Call me crazy, but is it possible that our supreme court justices were coerced into this ruling?

Thank you --- for writing with such admirable restraint, when excited partisans on both sides of our political divide are playing "gotcha" with necessary legal restaints that have served our country well.

Your argument seems to be if the system isn't broken, don't try to fix it. But the system is broken. The wealthy are routinely shielded from accountability for anything. And one of the key elements of that has been anonymity. The call for releasing the Epstein files isn't just about a gotcha moment or spectacle, it's a widespread outcry for the accountability that the wealthy have been avoiding.
