Top Justice Department official plays down chance for charges arising from Epstein files revelations

A top Justice Department official played down the possibility of additional criminal charges arising from the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying Sunday that the existence of “horrible photographs” and troubling email correspondence does not “allow us necessarily to prosecute somebody.”

Department officials said over the summer that a review of Epstein-related records did not establish a basis for new criminal investigations, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that position remains unchanged even as a massive document dump since Friday has focused fresh attention on Epstein’s links to powerful individuals around the world and revived questions about what, if any, knowledge the wealthy financier’s associates had about his crimes.

He said victims of Epstein’s sex abuse “want to be made whole,” but that “doesn’t mean we can just create evidence or that we can just kind of come up with a case that isn’t there.”

There's more, but I didn't go any further to read it. My blood pressure is already on the "too high" side today. So, even with all the evidence in the files, they still are basically saying 'All these rich white men (and Clarence Thomas) get off scot free on raping, demeaning, and even killing these girls.' I say, we're going to have to have a Nuremburg trial of our own that will make Nuremburg look like a PTA meeting!
