Do it!

 

I note with satisfaction that the Epstein "victims" are threatening to release the names of those who victimized them.

Jeffrey Epstein’s victims have told Donald Trump they are compiling a list of men who were clients of the paedophile financier.

Survivors gathered outside the Capitol on Wednesday to demand that his administration authorise the release of all of the documents it holds on Epstein.

Lisa Phillips, who was abused by Epstein from 2000, said she and other victims will produce their own client list if the US government fails to publish the names of wealthy clients believed to be connected to Epstein’s crimes.

. . .

Ms Phillips added: “We know the names, many of us were abused by them. Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world.”

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, an ally of Donald Trump who is working with Democrats on a bipartisan bill to secure the release of the files, said she would read the list of co-conspirators and abusers to Congress.

Noting that Epstein’s survivors would struggle to publicly disclose the list of names over fears of the potential ramifications, she said: “Yeah, it’s a scary thing to name names, but I will tell you, I’m not afraid to name names.”

There's more at the link.

Given suitable safeguards to prevent innocent people from being falsely accused, I think this is a very good idea.  One could protect against abuse by naming only people who are remembered by two, or three, or more of the women, so that it isn't a "he said, she said" case, but one with multiple witnesses and/or victims.  One could also remind them, prior to publication, that false accusations can lead to both civil and criminal charges against those making them, so they'd better be willing and able to back up their claims.  Given those and similar measures, I can't see a downside to this.

I'm prepared to believe that President Trump's people in the Department of Justice have not found "smoking gun" evidence to convict anyone of complicity in Epstein's crimes - but that's only because their predecessors, and some of those still in the DOJ, have carefully erased or hidden that evidence.  The cover-up has been massive.  Anyone who believes that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell has got to be so naive as to defy credulity.  "Blissninny" just about covers it.

As far as Epstein's crimes are concerned, we haven't even scratched the surface yet in determining culpability and punishing offenders.  It's long overdue.
