You’re an idiot. The cases under appeal look it up. Maxwells trial lead to longer appeal times you cannot release a case under appeal it makes it so more evidence cannot come forward and people were still bringing evidence forward. I’ve heard this exact fucking excuse thousands of times. Go look it up. Go educate yourself there’s a reason 3 million fucking files needed years of investigation.

I refuse to bow to a single party because there are some things the Dems do that I agree with, and don’t agree with, and some things the republicans do I agree with, and don’t agree with.

I don’t believe it. It’s fact. We are in a Republican majority government, a majority of the republicans sitting in office chose to vote 3 times against releasing the Epstein files and then only went through with the vote after the Epstein transparency act was passed and they couldn’t stall any longer. Now they are working together to cover up the names of the powerful people who committed crimes against children. That’s not a belief it’s just a fact based on what can be observed. Pay attention.
