how much do you want to bet that he had serious dirt on media mogels and news outlets?
Nah, I think it more likely that Epstine had names of people the media knows. Those people put it through contacts that it would not be in ANYONE'S interest for them to put out what happened to the public. So I bet the established media went along with it, as much as they can without looking suspicious. Standard procedure in shitstorms like this. Problem is that no one really trusts the media. And if the Left media doesn't pick this up, they're going to destroy the dwindling trust their own platforms have.
Honestly? AOC and the Squad should make their move. They probably aren't connected to this. They can probably draw attention to it without getting a bullet in their head. And the people they're likely to take down is the old guard that's restraining them. Honestly, the way this looks, it makes me think that DNC kid who got put down in that alley in a supposed mugging probably got too close to this, not some petty cheating within the DNC.
Politicians don't kill each other here over something as benign as cheating within their own political apparatus, since it's not a legal problem (as it is internal) and can always be denied or deflected, like they did with the Russia Probe. I think the real problem is that there might have been some compromised information on that server that could have gotten out and they had to take care of that kid before he either revealed it or came upon it. And everyone else who might be tempted would be too spooked to say or do anything about it.
I've seen how pedos do their work. They infiltrate an organization with access to power or victims. Once they're in, no organization will admit that they exist, because the damage to their reputation would be too great. That's why the Catholic Church shuffled them around, that's why Penn State looked the other way, and that's why governmental groups are willing to bury things or even kill people.
I expect those most exposed will be revealed from this. Those that are in positions where they're unlikely to be exposed and are in important positions will be shielded, if only to prevent total collapse of faith in the government. Some of them might even be dealt with quietly, but it's reached the point where the public is too suspicious and too many good actors for this to be buried completely. Examples need to be made to appease the public.
Of course, it depends on how bad the exposure is. Because it just takes one person in the investigation team or with access to important information to leak this. So if people are going to get shielded by the FBI, there's a 50% chance that the whole thing gets blown and the FBI gets gutted like a fish.
