"... Even with only half of the files - many of which are heavily redacted - now in the public domain, the Department of Justice has closed down the case. When challenged about the prospect of investigating everyone named in the Epstein material, Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested such action could 'bring down the government'.
"It was an astonishing warning. Not that the innocent would be exonerated. Not that due process would prevail. But that full accountability might destabilise the political order itself. [snip]
"Britain’s reckoning may yet prove incomplete. Europe’s investigations may not satisfy every demand for justice. But arrests have been made. Careers have ended. Titles have fallen.
"In America, by contrast, the silence remains conspicuous. Justice cannot stop at one imprisoned accomplice while others retreat behind legal teams and influence. It cannot flinch because the truth might prove politically explosive. And it cannot accept that the potential embarrassment of the elite outweighs the public’s right to accountability. [snip]
"Until the United States shows the same willingness to test that principle, the suspicion will linger that, once again, the rich and powerful have been protected in America, and the full truth in the States will always remain out of reach." -- Christopher Bucktin, columnist and US editor for the UK's Daily Mirror, on the arrest of Epstein associate former Prince and Duke of York Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor today (on his birthday, no less) on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. The lawless regime in place in the US is protecting the rich and powerful -- starting with the Malignant Fascist -- for now. We must all play a part in seeing to it that the rule of law returns ti the US, and that the guilty are prosecuted and punished, if we hope to live in a civilized democracy again.
