You can bet it doesn't need to be rebuilt because it never stopped and Epstein was just part of an international ring that involved people from all kinds of positions of authority. In my city alone there were law enforcement , boy scout leaders, and Catholic priests all enabling each other and helping to cover up their crimes while flying people in from all over the world to do this fucked up shit.
Thats one city. Imagine that kind of fucked up shit has been happening all over the world for decades or maybe even centuries. No way in hell it ever stopped because Epstein was indisposed.
You know that plot in the original true detective about the Louisiana pedophile murder ring? It turns out that was almost certainly based on real stories.
I will say that it's fucking insane to think about the fact that Trump and all of his oligarch friends have now legalized kidnapping and trafficking people thanks to ICE/DHS. The implications of what they're almost certainly continuing to do out in the open have got to be pretty obvious, right?
Kidnapping so many people that you can just get away with just losing track of them? Why wouldn't they just keep doing the same shit they've always done?
