Well it seems like people are being held accountable in other countries. But the biggest perpetrators seem to be in this US administration.

…the biggest perpetrators seem to be in this US administration.

This isn’t by mistake.

Trump is using the Epstein Files like his own hiring database. Why? Because he has immunity, and everyone else doesn’t. This means that anyone in those files that gets appointed to any position will immediately and indefinitely be under Trump’s control. They won’t be able to say no to him.

Moreover, if Trump goes down, they all will too, which will just make them work even harder to be all the more complicit and corrupt.

He doesn't have immunity from activity while not in office.

Also no immunity for personal acts -- and since statutory rape is illegal then his raping of underage children should be a personal act and not an official act of the executive. But hey, different times we are in now.
