French magistrates are seeking to investigate possible offences committed in France or involving French perpetrators who facilitated his crimes.

Top Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said around 20 suspected victims had made themselves known after she in February urged potential victims to speak up.

Some were already known to investigators, she told the RTL broadcaster.

Curious that the Epstein investigation in France seems to be expanding, while the DoJ here in the US seems to be saying, ~nothing to see here.~

Why?

We know from our own Epstein Files that Trump is protecting six names, one of them very like his.

We will know each of the six eventually.

I just hope it's while Donald is still alive and competent to know that history sees him as a POS.

History already sees the orange chomo as a pile of garbage.

But let's not overlook the fact that 70 million Americans saw a rapist, 34 count convicted felon, who led an insurrection to overthrow democracy in 2020 with a documented history of demanding violence and hate be directed at minorities and thought "this is the guy I want in charge...he tells it like it is" and voted for him.

The elevation of Trump is a national failure. The worst, I think, since the Civil War.

You'll notice how rarely our little MAGA friend come here now.

It's a long-expected repetition to what happened to Bush II.

Everyone's back hiding under that rock (the same one they hid under during World War II) until the next chance for nasty failure.
