    It’s hilarious* that no amount of child rape will move the police to do anything, but the second an errant dime jumps to the other side of the ledger, it’s mass arrests of princes and politicians.

    * Horrifying

      His emails containing confidential information are in the Epstein files. There’s the damning evidence.

      You must know rape is much harder to investigate and prove.

        And so far there is no evidence that Mandy was involved in the rape. Just the influence-peddling and (probably) selling state secrets.

        Yes, true.
        However, the question is would any of this have ever happened if money or trade secrets weren’t involved?

        Obviously we don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors, but it does seem like:
        “Kiddies are being trafficked, and raped. There are even accusations of murder.”
        “Oh no, how terrible. Let’s wait then inevitably do nothing about this.”
        “Hey, remember about those kids being raped etc, well apparently money and secrets were being exchanged as well.”
        “OUTRAGEOUS. We must do something about this!!”

        Either way, I’m happy something is being done. And I’ll be even more happy if people see consequences for their crimes.
