... Few Americans, including just 21% of Republicans, think President Donald Trump's administration has helped deliver justice in cases connected to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The results of the six-day poll, which closed on Monday, come as congressional investigators continue to probe the alleged crimes of Epstein, who served time in prison after pleading guilty in 2008 on prostitution charges including soliciting an underage girl. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

Just 10% of respondents in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said the Trump administration had helped efforts to hold people connected to Epstein accountable. Only one in five respondents said the alleged clients of Epstein have been held accountable.

Some of Epstein's victims have claimed that rich and powerful people have been protected in official investigations.

The Trump administration fanned speculation with the release in January of millions of Justice Department investigation files that named or featured photographs of dozens of powerful people in business and government, including Trump himself. ...

Trump's behavior during the ongoing Trump Epstein Coverup indicates his deeper involvement in some sordid sheet than he has heretofore admitted (basically nothing more than tickling the ivories on a Bechstein in Epstein's cathouse and thinking all along it was an animal rescue shelter).

The upcoming Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump - teased with an excerpt in today's NYT - will not help, from Trump's perspective.

Could someone cite a case of major significance involving a coverup in which those conducting the coverup were not acting on behalf of a guilty party or parties? Just curious.

Of course Trump won't deliver justice. He's a felon who had pardoned his criminal conspirators.
In order to deliver justice in the case of Epstein, Trump would have to prosecute himself.

"Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years,"
-Donald Trump

Trump has done more to protect the names of the people in the Epstein files than he has done to prosecute a single pedophile.

And the Faithful praise him for doing that.
Both BillJohnson and LftHndThrds think it would be wrong to name and shame the powerful rich men in those files.
It could cause political and economic upheaval. BillJohnson called it interfering in the affairs of a foreign nation.

The entire Republican Party stands behind Trump protecting these pedophiles.
