“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.

Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.

“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”

    links in my original post. I drew three people or three accounts arguing against it this time. Not one in five but consider the subject and the subjects of the subject.

      First source says .5 percent of the population and 20 percent of the military. Which is exactly what you were questioned about.

      1. The military is a biased sample.

      2. The military is not the only source of statistics.

      Also, kind of a shit source that doesn’t appear to reference anything, to be fair.

        I never said it was. I said its the largest. Your bias and probably your condition will always prevent you from considering it. Goodbye. Go away. Go feel right about everything somewhere else.

          Yes you did, it was like a big point you made and doubled down on. But ok.

          That source didn’t verify that claim, either. And the other source doesn’t mention statistics at all.

          Nevertheless, you are right that goodbyes are in order.
