It's been reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi has said (and I'm paraphrasing) if we were to prosecute everyone involved in the Epstein files, the whole system could collapse. Let me start by saying that I haven't seen a concrete verification of this statement, but if she did say it, I would counter by saying that's not a reason to NOT do it... it's a reason TO do it.
We are supposed to live in a system that provides equal justice for all. We ostensibly live in a society that protects the innocent. By choosing to not enforce the core tenets of civilized society because doing so "could cause collapse," that system has already ceased to exist. We're not supposed to do what's comfortable or convenient; we need to do what's right.
I'd like to clarify that I'm not talking about sex. Heck, I've done the sex thing once or twice and I'm a big fan. If you're an adult and you want to go to an island to to let your freak flag fly, then by all means knock yourself out. The only conditions are that everyone involved in that snake ball must be a willing participant, and old enough to give informed consent. To clarify further, I don't care if some or all of the participants are prostitutes, as long as they are willing, and of legal age. In the grand scheme of things, that's a pretty low bar of acceptability.
If we're not prosecuting people because the system could collapse, then I say let's watch Rome burn. I'll bring the fiddle... and the marshmallows.
