The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released a report Tuesday detailing how the Department of Justice mishandled investigations into sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, failing to interview witnesses.

“The crimes committed by Epstein after 2005 could have been prevented and justice served had it not been for the repeated failures of law enforcement and federal prosecutors,” the 136-page report states.

    Department of Epstein

    investigated by House Epstein Committee.

    20 years of this, boy what a mystery. bOtH pArTiEs are openly complicit and obstructing justice.

    I just checked a few days ago, we’re at almost 10 suicides on this case alone, at least two within prison facilities. If you include suspicious deaths… man, this is some frightening shit. Who knew that the upper Manhattan elite lived such dangerous lives?

    At least rename the DOJ more accurately. Or put /s at the end of the title!

    no, they exposed the victims and protected the accused.

    USA comes second after Israel and Epstein class.

          That’s every anti-dem politcal ad I saw in the last 2 months.

          Voted against the big bs bill, which included penalties for housing immigrants and trans.

          The ads: “They voted for taxpayer funded housing for illegal immigrants and trans surgeries for children!”

        That’s not what they meant; they’re saying that US politicians prioritize Israel and the Epstein class before US citizens.

        I think they’re saying the interests of the American public come third in the eyes of The System, after the interests of Israel and the Epstein class.

        I also, I have no influence on North Korea, so however bad it is, it is not as directly relevant as what goes on in my own country. See: whataboutism.
