...and my personal view is that defense of anyone who is proven to have assaulted children is immoral, not to mention a political loser.

The issue we're dealing with here isn't obstruction by ANY of the people you listed.

It is the current president who advantaged his actual ascent to the WH on the premise that there's something incriminating about Democrats mentioned by victims or news reports as being part of some FBI file somewhere.

And you just have to wonder at the motivation to withhold the release of these FBI materials and witness statements in the wake of all of that demanding their release, and even more curious, after reported hundreds of Trump appointed lackeys went through it all looking for his name.

It's hard to imagine that he didn't get word of something really incriminating to his own self or self -interest.

I don't know how anyone can claim that we know all of the perps, and more importantly, all of the crimes committed when so many victims and witness were precluded from pursuing charges further because of secret negotiations which they were excluded from which granted an immunity to both Epstein and hypothetical others who may have been involved.

It's stunning how these men are being shielded by the Florida agreements, and even more amazing how those backroom deals are the subject and hook of Maxwell's SC appeal.

Also, you might want to consider how Epstein's lawyers initially argued that the prosecution belonged in state court, the venue where then Fla. AG, now-US AG Bondi turned her back on those victims and refused to prosecute anyone involved.
