We really need to be asking why there were never investigations. How does protection from the FBI work exactly, and how do we stop it from protecting monsters currently?
I can't tell about these newly reported findings since details about when it was first reported isn't clear (only dates are 2025, so Trump's FBI..). However I suspect in the wake of Epstein's death and that pictures of Trump hanging with Epstein all over the internet flooded the FBI with a lot of stuff, much of which probably was fiction analagous to the whole 'pizzagate' thing. In a way, this gives the Trump admin plenty of material to use as cover, they can release a firehose of crackpot grade material from 2020 while perhaps holding back more substantive material, say from 2014 and older, when the signal to noise ratio would be much better.
I'd be particularly interested in material that originated from before 2017 or so, when almost no random folks would be aware of Epstein at all. I wager it's in there as given Trump's nature and the known nature of Epstein's activities, absolutely you know Trump was all in on it. But I can also believe they would prioritize release of crackpot reports that lack credibility even if they are believable narratives.
Lobbyists selected by rich people tell politicians who to appoint to lead agencies. These people give directives and can get agents fired for disobeying.
Stopping it means removing "single points of failures" like not having such a powerful hierarchy, in addition to accountability measures (independent inspections, etc)
Be rich.
Be white.
Be connected.
Don't be a threat to anyone else on the list.
because there is a pattern in who owns the most money and power.
and they love power over people more than obeying the law.
