At the risk of repeating myself. Which begs the question why?
To protect the people in power, as always.
what is insane is that everyone just accepts it, knows that this happens, and dont go lynch the ones in charge immediately.

There was a time when the guy making the cannon had to sit on top of it for the first shot. Perhaps this kind of policy could be adapted to other situations aswell.

For a while, my pet conspiracy theory was that this was Epstein's real cause of death: a lynching by a prison guard made to look like suicide.

I never took it too seriously, because no actual evidence; now I'm more inclined to think it was a coconspirator hoping it would mean no more evidence getting out.

Likely because the named list is a bunch of Trump appointees and mega donors and they're illegally trying to spare them the embarrassment.
