16. Ok, so my question...

"Back on February 23, Daniel Ruetenik, Pat Milton, and Cara Tabachnick of CBS News reported on a newly uncovered document in the Epstein files showing that beginning in December 2010 under the Obama administration, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was running an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and fourteen other people for drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering.

The document showed the investigation, called “Chain Reaction,” was still underway in 2015. But the investigation disappeared, although the document suggested that it was a significant investigation and that the government was on the verge of indictments."

Obviously people in the Obama admin knew about this. Just at what time did the investigation disappear??? We know Trump takes office 2016 - so of course maybe they deep sixed it. HOWEVER, Biden was VP under Obama AND one would reasonably think this disappeared investigation to be a hot topic to pick up for the Biden DOJ. Why are we only hearing about this now? I suspect we were played and not just by Republicans.

I am beginning to think the investigation uncovered such massive corruption, human trafficking, bribes, money laundering, spying and espionage even, that too many people important to both parties and maybe verging on such disgusting collusion between our billionaire puppet masters and willing "servants of the people" that if this were fully known to the people - i.e., you and me, we would burn DC to the ground.
