But, as it’s been mentioned numerous times, it’s humorous to see people who didn’t care one iota about Epstein and his perverse activities for YEARS suddenly care because Trump hasn’t done something about it in his first couple months. It reminds me of fake outrage.
What you seem to fail to understand in your accusations is that most sensible/informed people left/right/center/whatever knew there wasn't much that could be done with "the Epstein files". The data in question is investigative materials including from searches for crimes committed by someone who is dead. If he had accomplices (or "clients") then testimony by actual victims would be needed, and it may be that they didn't want to testify. From public information we know Epstein was involved in the sleazy world of teen modeling and pageants and who some of his associates were in that world.
Here are a few basic reasons why no one else was charged:
1. Illegal conduct was outside the statute of limitations.
2. Illegal conduct was primarily state, not federal
3. Chargeable crimes required witnesses that did not want to come forward.
4. Chargeable individual was POTUS, who then committed a bunch of more critical federal crimes.
Someday the lead prosecutor on the Epstein/Maxwell case will write her memoir of the case and explain the state of it, but until then we are unlikely to know.
Most of what has been discussed in the media and online of late has been available for years. The "prison tape" and the "birthday book" are the only notable new information. Victims have given new interviews, but I am unaware of any new victims coming forward yet.
On the purely cynical and political side, do you not think that if the Democratic party apparatus thought they could go after Trump and destroy parts of his support base with Epstein, they would not have done so one year ago? Of course they would, but I suspect it wouldn't have worked. Part of the reason that Trump is losing contact with part of his "base" over this is because he put people who pushed conspiracies about Epstein into position of power where they would get to know things and once they did they all come out with "nothing to see here". The same people going after Trump/Bondi/Patel/Bongino would have just gone after the Dem/DeepState as their Pizzagate/QAnon/et seq. conspiracies about "prominent Dems as sex abuse of minors" had been pushing for 8 years and it would not have worked. Trump has been literally stirring this pot for years and then asked the flame stokers to join him in the pot while they relit the fire.
