- With no legal mechanism to force DOJ to release more files, Bradley Moss said Congress's omission of enforcement was 'one of the biggest self-owns by Congress in my lifetime'.

Trigger warning: this article discusses topics including murder, sexual assault, rape, trafficking, and cannibalism. I remember the shock I felt way back in 2019, when Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes were announced publicly; sex trafficking of minors, the systematic grooming of underage girls, and an international web of sexual exploitation involving powerful elites. Of course, none of it was truly a shock to the world, because Epstein’s legal histo…
