Overseas, Epstein investigations multiply. In America, not so much.

WASHINGTON — At least nine investigations have begun in eight countries and within the European Union’s anti-fraud unit following the release by the U.S. Justice Department of millions of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In the U.S., not so much.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the case remains open. But according to a Justice Department and FBI memo last year, the department underwent an “exhaustive review” of materials related to Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on charges of sex trafficking of minors and died in federal custody in what was ruled a suicide. There was no evidence of an “incriminating ‘client list’” or evidence that would lead to additional prosecutions of third parties, the memo said. Justice Department officials have said they complied with the law and did all that was required of them.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche recently put it more bluntly: The review is over.

You hope it's over Blanche but you're wrong.

I do believe accountability will eventually happen but hope it is sooner rather than later
