Can I assume you have little experience in a court of law? That would be a compliment, in that it would mean you've lived a lawful life. What is acceptable as truth on the street is often not the same as what is acceptable as truth (or proof) in a court of law. The structure of our laws is such that there are restraints placed on the prosecution with unlimited resources of the government to protect the rights of an innocent defendant with limited resources that can be allocated to their defense. The burden of proof is on the accuser, the prosecution. A prosecutor can make all kinds of accusations, but they must have accurate, meticulous, irrefutable and verifiable facts to withstand the scrutiny of the court. The defendant is treated as innocent until proven guilty. What we see in the Epstein files is raw investigative data. We don't have any evidence that may exonerate any of the accused of the implied accusations presented in any public forum. We only have what is extrapolated out to convictable evidence thrown around on websites. There are supposedly over 6 million "pieces of evidence" in the possession of the DOJ. Not every "piece" is evidence of criminal action. If the DOJ has evidence that calls accusations into reasonable question, they, by the design of our legal system will decline to prosecute.
In order to prosecute, prosecutors have to present evidence of the crime to a Grand Jury. The DOJ cannot automatically move to trial without a Grand Jury indictment. If the Grand Jury does not produce an indictment, the prosecutor either has to re-present additional evidence that the Grand Jury uses to indict, or drop the charges. That is how the law works. A prosecutor cannot go to trial on a fishing expedition to try to find criminal wrongdoing (which was the criticism of all the criminal trials Trump was subjected to) . The prosecution cannot change misdemeanors to felonies in order to make for more severe punishment, as Bragg tried to do to Trump. I'm sure you know about all of Trump's convictions, but do you know they have all been overturned by higher courts?
If we neglect the Rule of Law, our justice system collapses into tyranny of the state. That would not be good, especially for the little guys and the innocent.
