The Epstein Survivors and their List.

While I would love to see these victims be able to publicly name the people that they know are guilty, I don't honestly believe that they will be allowed to do that. Or ultimately, be willing to do that.

I think that MTG is pretty assured of that, or else she wouldn't have volunteered to read the names on the floor. It's all bluster on her part.

I can't say that I would blame these women, and who knows what anyone would do were we in their shoes. They stand to lose so much. They've shown SUCH bravery and courage, and they have my thanks and admiration. But I watched the press conference again last night where Lisa Phillips made reference to the compiling of such a list, and my interpretation in the rewatch was that her claim came as a surprise to several of the attendees.

I want the guilty people named and held accountable. I don't really care how or by whom, I just want justice for these women. I don't care which political party the guilty belong to. In fact, I'd probably be MORE disgusted if we learn there are prominent Democrats on the list.

I was wondering if anyone else on DU either agrees on this, or disagrees. I'd love to have others' thoughts and perspective. Maybe I'm just being too cautious because we have so many times thought SOMETHING was going to FINALLY happen, and then it turns into a nothingburger.

Either way, these women are heroes in my book.

And they are showing incredible courage. To come out and talk at all I just want them to be believed. I want the bad guys to have to admit they did something wrong.
