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.

(31,261 posts)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.
