29. I believe it is.

Why did Epstein receive little more than a wrist-slap after his first conviction for sex-trafficking and raping multiple minors – who else gets that kind of treatment? How did he go from teaching high school to becoming a wildly wealthy billionnaire, owning among his other homes a 19,000 s.f. townhouse in Manhattan – without even a college degree? Why were multiple rooms in the homes in which his sex parties with minors took place wired for video recording? Why all the anomalies surrounding his death? Etc.

Given the urgency of the question of whether Epstein's sex parties might have been part of some kind of spying/blackmail operation, why has it taken 6 years for our government to examine his files and tell us there's "nothing to see" there?
