As bad as Epstein was, using the establishment using these files to stay in power is worse.
In the Florida cases, I think there was a real concern for the girls and their families.
Prosecution was not certain to be successful. Publicity was almost certain to be widespread and hurtful to the victims.
Releasing the grand jury records now may be somewhat less hurtful and the years have clearly placed the blame on Epstein.
I’m hoping the Clerk is doing the right things.
