Let’s not forget that these survivors are someone's daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends. Some are no longer with us, while others are still fighting for justice. It's time to release ALL the #EpsteinFiles and hold those who are complicit accountable! #StandWithSurvivors #USPol #DOJ #Politics

Let's not forget that criminal charges are not about survivors or victims but about crimes against the state.

These criminal investigations are not about survivors or victims but about people who have transgressed against society as personified in the government itself. It's about folks who broke criminal law against the state.

The reason this matters is because it shapes how we approach this whole thing. If we want prosecutors to go after these people then we probably need to stop releasing documents that perpetrators can use in their defense through the due process processes that we have set up.

Survivors and victims can go through civil processes, but we are undermining the criminal cases by confusing the two. It is effectively letting the perpetrators go free because we are too interested in salacious tabloid.
