The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released a report Tuesday detailing how the Department of Justice mishandled investigations into sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, failing to interview witnesses.

“The crimes committed by Epstein after 2005 could have been prevented and justice served had it not been for the repeated failures of law enforcement and federal prosecutors,” the 136-page report states.

    no, they exposed the victims and protected the accused.

      USA comes second after Israel and Epstein class.

      What?

      There’s a bunch of countries worse

        I think they’re saying the interests of the American public come third in the eyes of The System, after the interests of Israel and the Epstein class.

        I also, I have no influence on North Korea, so however bad it is, it is not as directly relevant as what goes on in my own country. See: whataboutism.

        That’s not what they meant; they’re saying that US politicians prioritize Israel and the Epstein class before US citizens.
