Epstein's "suicide" and the sickening feeling I have...

No, I'm not grieving the death of that amoral criminal, however, it does leave me feeling very hopeless. Hopeless in the way one feels when it becomes even more clear that Trump and his fellow rich and powerful "friends" will not feel the sword of justice on their necks.

Somehow, someway these rat bastards get away with their actions. Be it Bush and Cheney et al and their war crimes or Trump, Barr, Epstein and their innumerable crimes from rape, pedophilia to the destruction of our democracy. They never seem to have to face justice. And now, with Epstein silenced, another fellow criminal is no longer available to spill the beans. Accountability and justice is once again thwarted.

I hadn't put it into words. Hadn't defined it yet. You may have just done that for me.

forces an even brighter light be shown in the darkest recesses of this story. Intensified scrutiny as a consequence.

Bubbles to The surface. His name, his kids his grand kids and forward generations will all pay the price. They will suffer the same ruin that all despots and dictator types do. History will crucify him for generations

When you feel hopeless... just remember that. Think hitler, Mussolini, Nero.

If someone can "suicide" this guy in a heavily guarded and video camera infested facility like that, what kind of security can they POSSIBLY have?

I read a few minutes ago that Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald reporter who broke this thing wide open with her investigative reporting, was being considered for a Putlizer Prize earlier this year. Alan Dershowitz pressured the committee not to award her, she didn't get the prize.

Here is my prediction, Julie K. Brown will win the Putlizer in 2020 for what could turn out to be some of the most significant investigative reporting of the last half century, Alan Dershowitz and some others will be in jail or would have killed themselves to avoid the punishment and shame that they earned.
