Epstein survivor reveals plan to back DOJ into a corner

They need a safe place...a safe place...and that breaks my heart. However, Jess Michaels continues and reminds us that they have the lawyers and said lawyers have all the information.

These women are amazing in their strength and determination.

Epstein survivors have said they have knowledge of particular files it assumes are in the DOJ’s possession, two of which have been described as the “most important” that weren’t included in the agency’s release Friday: a supposed 60-count criminal indictment related to Epstein and potential co-conspirators, and an 82-page DOJ memo of Epstein’s alleged crimes.

Withholding knowledge of specific Epstein files from the public, Michaels suggested, may put her and other survivors in a better spot to force compliance and hold the DOJ accountable.

MS NOW’s Jonathan Capehart pressed Michaels further, and asked at what point – if any – would she and other survivors be forced to go public with any and all information on Epstein and potential co-conspirators they possess.

“We need a safe place for us to be able to reveal information that we know we have that's missing,” Michaels said. “Right now, we're all speaking to our lawyers, giving them the lists of things that should be found. I think that's something that maybe this DOJ doesn't remember: we have attorneys, and those attorneys have all of the information.”

I'm waiting with bated breath for them to hit the front pages with their rebuttals.

I wouldn't put anything past tsf and his goons - or even just the goons on their own.

… unless it’s a group of women disenfranchised and ignored after such an ordeal.

I hope they blow those arseholes out of the water like a Venezuelan fishing boat—with way more casualties.

MTG already said she would do that (but will they be back in session before her resignation date?) They have immunity for anything they say on the floor of Congress so they can name anybody & everybody without endangering anyone of prosecution. I think they should do this ASAP - beginning of January?

they are scared for their lives. This is an administration that kills people practically every day now. It has no problem yanking babies from their mothers PERMANENTLY. It disappears people, and when political enemies are murdered, they have no remorse, making people wonder if the administration was actively involved.

So I have no doubt that their fears are well founded, and they are heroic to be standing up to these threats. But what does this tell us. Epstein is dead. He can't hurt them. Maxwell is in prison. So why would they be scared?

And that is my point. If this were just about Epstein running a sex ring, nobody else would care. They could simply blame everything on Epstein, which was, in all likelihood, Plan-A. That plan did not work.

That tells us that the scope of this operation was much bigger than just Epstein or Maxwell. And there are powerful people still alive who are shitting their pants about this.

Why? Most of the girls and women in the Trump/Epstein operation were above the age of majority, at least according to the reports I have seen. Having sex with an 18+ year-old on a "sex island" is ugly business, but not something most people would kill over. This thing is bigger than that.
