👏Jeffrey Epstein's Victims Say They Will Compile and Release THEIR OWN LIST of Perpetrators Since The Government Refuses

Hundreds of girls were trafficked. Maxwell was convicted. Epstein is dead. And still not a single perpetrator has faced charges. Survivors are taking justice into their own hands.

Family, before we dive in — this work only survives if we face these truths together. I refuse to be silent — and I need you with me. Please become a monthly, annual, or founding member today.

“The Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe something that is not believable: they are asking you to believe that two individuals created 100s of victims, and they acted alone, and the DOJ has no idea who else might have been involved” - Congressman Thomas Massie, earlier today

The Outrage Nobody Can Explain

Let me state the single most outrageous fact about the Jeffrey Epstein case:

Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were arrested, tried, and convicted for trafficking hundreds of underage girls and young women — and not a single perpetrator, not one buyer, not one client, was ever arrested.

Read that again.

It’s so preposterous, so illogical, so insulting to the intelligence of every American, that it should have set the country on fire.

Because trafficking requires traffickers.
Rape requires rapists.
Exploitation requires exploiters.

Yet somehow, in the biggest sex-trafficking case of our generation, the only people punished were the recruiter and the pimp. The men who paid for the abuse, the men who raped children, the men who flew on Epstein’s planes, stayed at his mansions, partied on his island — they were never touched.

Survivors Refuse to Be Silent

That is why the survivors are taking matters into their own hands.

Just this week, six Epstein survivors sat down with NBC News. Their message was clear: if the DOJ won’t release the list, they will compile one themselves.

Jess Michaels called it a “severe miscarriage of justice.”
Lisa Phillips said flatly: “They have emails. They have flight logs. If they’re not going to release this list … we’ll compile our own and seek justice on our own.”

And on Wednesday, Phillips sharpened the point: “We know the names, many of us were abused by them.”

That is stunning. That is heartbreaking. That is revolutionary.

Victims — women who were trafficked as children — are now being forced to do the job of the Department of Justice. Because the people meant to protect them are protecting the predators instead.

What Everybody Knows

And here’s the truth: everybody knows it.

Everybody knows those perpetrators weren’t janitors or factory workers. They weren’t teachers or truck drivers. The only people who gained access to Epstein’s world were the rich and powerful.

Billionaires. Prime ministers. Presidents. Royals. Media moguls. Tech titans.

This wasn’t a crime ring of nobodies. It was a crime ring of somebodies — some of the most powerful men on earth.

And that’s exactly why they were never named. That’s exactly why they’ve never faced justice.

The Government’s Silence

Since Epstein’s arrest and suspicious death in 2019, the U.S. government has treated this case as if it were radioactive.

The 2007 sweetheart plea deal already gave Epstein’s “co-conspirators” immunity. Then the Maxwell trial was deliberately narrow, carefully avoiding any mention of powerful men.

By 2025, the Justice Department is still stonewalling, refusing to release unredacted files. In July, DOJ’s internal review even claimed: there is “no client list” and no evidence of blackmail.

Think about that. They’re not even denying the crimes anymore — they’re denying the existence of the evidence.

A Bipartisan Push — and a Burying of Truth

This week, survivors were joined by attorneys and members of Congress: Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

That’s a Democrat, a libertarian-leaning Republican, and a MAGA Republican — strange bedfellows united by one demand: release the files.

Massie revealed they are just two Republican votes short of forcing a floor vote to compel the DOJ to release everything. But GOP leadership called the move “unnecessary,” offering instead a watered-down Oversight Committee review.

Late Tuesday, that committee dumped 30,000 pages of documents. Sounds huge — but CBS confirmed the vast majority were already public. A distraction. A smokescreen. An insult to the intelligence of survivors and the public.

And then President Trump himself dismissed the calls as a “Democrat hoax that never ends.”

So there it is: survivors demanding justice, lawmakers pushing for sunlight, a government burying the truth, and a president mocking it all.

The Magic Trick Conviction

Maxwell was convicted in 2022 of trafficking minors across state lines. The case established beyond a shadow of a doubt that she and Epstein ran a child-trafficking network.

And yet the conviction read like a magic trick.
The crime was real.
The victims were real.
But somehow, no one committed it.

That’s not justice. That’s theater.

And the whole world sees it.

---

The Intelligence Connection

To understand why this case makes no sense, you have to understand who Jeffrey Epstein really was.

Former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta — the very man who cut Epstein’s original sweetheart plea deal in 2007 — later admitted: “I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence, and to leave it alone.”

That sentence should’ve rocked the world.

It means Epstein wasn’t just a predator. He was an asset. He was protected. He was used.

And what do intelligence agencies use assets like Epstein for?
They use them to gather leverage.
They use them to compromise powerful men.
They use them to build networks of control.

This wasn’t just trafficking. This was sexual blackmail on an industrial scale.

And that’s why the files will never see the light of day — because releasing them would expose not just the predators, but the governments and intelligence services who used Epstein as a tool.

---

Why This Matters

Every day that goes by without accountability is another day the system proves it has no intention of protecting the vulnerable when the powerful are involved.

Think about it. If Epstein had been a street-level pimp in Chicago or Atlanta, not only would he have been executed by the state, every single man who bought sex from a trafficked minor would be in prison.

But Epstein’s clients weren’t poor or anonymous. They were global elites. And so the system bent over backwards to protect them.

That’s why this case haunts America like a ghost.
That’s why it won’t go away.
Because everybody knows the truth.

The Survivors’ Challenge

By stepping forward to compile their own list, the survivors are daring the government to act. They’re exposing the cowardice of politicians and prosecutors. They’re reminding the world that justice delayed is justice denied.

And here’s the terrifying possibility: their list may be the only one we ever get. Because the official one is locked away, hidden, buried under layers of power and secrecy.

My Take

Brothers and sisters, I’ll say it as plainly as I can:

You cannot traffic children without clients.
You cannot convict pimps without convicting the rapists.
You cannot pretend justice has been served when the perpetrators are still free.

The system thinks this scandal can be managed. They think if they bury the evidence long enough, people will forget.

But they underestimate the power of memory. They underestimate the resolve of survivors. They underestimate the rage of people who know that the powerful live by one set of rules and the rest of us by another.

This is why the Epstein case still matters.
This is why it still burns.
And this is why it will never die until the truth is fully told.

---

Family, this is not just a scandal about one man. It is a mirror reflecting the corruption of entire systems: politics, intelligence, media, finance.

Until every name is revealed, until every perpetrator is held accountable, the question will remain:

How can a man be convicted of trafficking hundreds of girls, but not a single rapist is named?

That question is the indictment.
That question is the scandal.
That question is why this case will never go away.

If you’ve made it this far, you know the truth: the powerful protect their own. They hide the names. They bury the files. They tell us to move on. But we won’t.

This newsroom only survives because people like you step up. We don’t take ads. We don’t take corporate money. We depend on you.

If you believe the full Epstein files must be released, if you believe survivors deserve justice and not silence, then I’m asking you — urgently — to become a monthly, annual, or founding member today.

Together we are building the kind of journalism the powerful can’t silence.

Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
