Arrest every single one of them, but trump first.
On what charge? Schmoozing?
Raping kids, trafficing minors, and for single crime that pig did. That answer your dumb question?
You have evidence that Vera Wang raped kids?
Is there concrete evidence? Let's not erode due process any more than is already happening.
There is a mountain of evidence including testimony under oath from many of the victims as well as Maxwell. Bondi also warned him that he appears repeatedly throughout the papers. You are welcome to look any of it up. 🦭
Then they should be arrested on that evidence, not just for being a name on a list.
Cases are built on multiple pieces of evidence. The list is absolutely a valuable piece of evidence.
"Arrest every single one of them...."
You need more evidence to arrest someone as an accomplice to child rape and sex trafficking than that they sent a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein before his first arrest. There are 50 people on the list, including Epstein's family members.
Why does every thread on pedophiles have to go off the rails because people think if the crime is heinous enough, you just round up everyone without reasonable cause or probable suspicion?
I think it's a slightly different dynamic happening. Definitely when the crime is heinous people get riled up and demand "justice" at any cost.
But I don't think everyone here is saying "based on this list alone courts have enough evidence", but rather "if they're on this list for sure there's mountains of other evidence, lock them up".
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I'm interpreting it.
Keep in mind that the list is of people who wrote birthday letters to Epstein, including his family members, and that the commenter's suggestion was that they all be arrested.
Yeah it's totally just a benign letter. That's why he's suing a newspaper for revealing it. Totally benign..
There is a bunch of knee-jerk voting happening in this comment thread. You're currently at 6 downvotes and I'm at 8 for suggesting birthday well wishes are not evidence of pedophilia.
Edit: not evidence
