The contrast is striking: In Europe, some people whose names come up in the Epstein files are facing consequences — but in the U.S., not so much.

European royals, government officials, politicians and others are losing jobs and titles over their connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. European law enforcement agencies are opening investigations based on recent troves of documents released by the U.S. government.

Prominent Americans with apparent ties to Jeffrey Epstein — including Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick— have so far largely kept their positions of power.

    It’s not “taking down” the elite in Europe though. Frankly losing your job is a completely inadequate punishment for raping and torturing kids.

    But from the point of view of “at least they’re getting SOMETHING”, it’s better than nothing.
