A large amount of our government was involved so the FBI destroyed the files to prevent them being leveraged against the US through said pedos.
I think we've severly underestimated the extent to which the government is compromised and the FBI was involved obviously but the sheer numbers would cause an uprising and end the US as we know it.
Just think about the orgies and shit they have in Washington and barely try to hide it.
Due process? That would require working through the very institutions that are all corrupted, from top to bottom, by using the governmental organizations that have been taken over, by using the courts that have been weaponized against us.
Trump and his administration have the ability to fire all of the people standing in their way, giving them the very least of punishment that these people deserve. But they don't do that. Why? Why the excuses? Why are you covering for these people, and the people who refuse to prosecute and punish them?
You're acting like my disapproval of these people is conjured out of thin air, with no evidence. I don't hate a people purely because they are a different people, but because of their actions. Pattern recognition shows them to be inordinately involved in all of the aspects that are corrupting, poisoning, weakening, and destroying us.
Individualism is a false god. We are not atomized individuals with no groups or belonging. We form groups with people to pursue mutual interests. All groups are formed along homogeneous lines, to make social cohesion within that group stronger, to make the in-group preference stronger, to make the group stronger, and better able to fulfill the needs of that group, and to protect the individuals within it. Militaries aren't consisted of atomized individuals doing their own thing. Jobs are not consisted of atomized individuals doing their own thing. Families aren't atomized individuals doing their own thing. They all have mutually shared goals which they collectively work together to achieve, even if the individual duties are slightly different from person to person. Reality meets in the middle, between individualism and collectivism. Pursuing one ideology to the full exclusion of the other invites catastrophe, just as we're seeing in the West currently, as White people have been brainwashed to not see themselves as a collective, and we're allowing foreigners to invade and destroy us.
And, just as individuals are unique and different, so too are groups. Just as we can judge individuals based on the fruits they bring forth, good or ill, we can judge groups based on their fruits.
Laws made by man, just like man, are imperfect. Government exists purely by the handing off of men's personal responsibilities to dole out violence, to protect the people he loves. When government becomes irresponsible with its caretaking of our liberties and responsibilities, when government becomes antagonistic and deadly to its own people, men have every right to reclaim what is rightfully theirs, to destroy that government, and reform it. This is the very bedrock upon which the United States was founded, and only abject fools and hypocrites decry the use of violence while living in a nation founded on its righteous application.
More excuses. "Phase 1". Excuse, after excuse, after excuse. You are excusing the horrific deeds of horrific men, preventing and enabling them to remain in power and continue to commit horrific crimes. That which we defend and enable, is that which we become complicit in. What you advocate is antithetical to the very conditions in which you espouse.
:sigh:
You're the leader of a town down in deepest Africa. It's like 1870 so you have rifles & stuff but not walky-talky's, Jeeps or helicopters. There's a big pride of lions, they've been eating your herd animals and you fear people are next. So you form a militia to deal with the problem.
Do you:
A) Charge at them deep in the jungle/savannah? Yelling so they know you're coming? Where they are at their strongest? They will scatter and if you press them, they will hunt your entire force until none remain? You might get half of them, that's good right? But your militia will be gone.
B) You set up watches and traps & pick them of one by one. Sure it takes time, and you may lose some animals & people, but once they're much weaker you can go after the main pride & knock them down to size, hopefully driving them from your lands forever. You set up some decoys & bait to distract them too. In the end the Militia comes home with some losses but lots of trophies.
Plan A has been the go-to for a long time in American politics. It's showy and gets attention, but it isn't very effective. They never follow things up with actual force. That's because neither side wants to actually solve anything, they both love the status quo.
Trump was like that the first term, he listened to some bad advice. Hopefully he is now a Plan-B guy and will make sure his underlings actually DO the jobs assigned.
Why are you trying to white wash this by making an allegory to hunting in Africa? You metaphor has almost no similarities to the current topic. You're trying to conflate unequal things, to provide yet another excuse for people that deserve none.
Tell me, why is Bondi ignoring the Epstein files on the FBI's own website? There's a very simple video of it here for proof:

The metaphor is that the deep state is like a pride of lions: they're not going to obey to you, you cannot negotiate with them, they don't ever think like humans. That's what Trump found out in his first term. They've grown far to large & dangerous to allow them to roam free, they need to be dealt with.
To fight them you have to get them out of their territory to where you have the advantage. So Bondi has lured some them out of their hiding places, that's a good start. She got the head of the NY FBI office fired (resigned, or else), that's a step in the right direction. Hopefully she keeps the pressure on until the documents are all handed over or, if destroyed already, everyone involved is fire & charged with crimes. Or both!
I'm not going to run around with you in a metaphor, when the reality of the situation is very simple. You're just making more excuses for why Trump and his admin aren't properly exposing this evil and punishing them.
Also, Bondi just said they're going to redact the Epstein files for "national security".
