2. Prosecutors collected video and pictures of hundreds of underage girls from Epstein’s properties, most of which should be identified or identifiable. Who do they say they were “servicing?”
3. Epstein has been at this for 30 years. He been protected by the legal system enabling ongoing abuse of young people. What changed now?

4. The battle for control is again being waged by destroying the legitimacy of the opposition
