Certainly many of them can be deposed in-person or remotely (via Zoom for instance). They will prove to be the best at breaking through this congressional truth resistance concerning the Epstein files.

Those who feel strongly and accurately that they’ve been grievously wronged aren’t just gonna shut up (or give up) and try to find some shelter from the storm.

of Republicans convicted or credibly accused of being Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers. They have been doing this since 2018 and are now up to Diary #57. At least 1425 Republicans have been named. All the diaries can be found here.

Hard to believe! But it’s been a slow steady drip of sexual predation by the GOP for many years.

Truly Disgusting when you see it all at once.

Gross Organized Predators.
I'm more aware after reading the Daily Kos lists, why the religious right has shown such support for Trump.
It is disgusting.

It seems like that should buy them some influence and great lawyers for sure

Its interesting to me though, only one woman (who is now deceased) has ever publicly, in any forum (be that a book, deposition, interview, or testimony) claimed they were sexually abused by anyone other than Epstein or Maxwell. Not even without naming a name, just said "Epstein made me do sex things with a bunch of other men too".

It SEEMS like they could probably get more attention from Congress if just ONE more i.e. a second victim, (and maybe even a third, fourth, fifth, etc) would come forth and just publicly say "Epstein made me have sex with people other than him and GM". I mean per someone upthread, there's 1,000 of these women, so seems like you could find #2 fairly easily, but I'm not them, so, maybe I'm wrong?

Anyways, I support what they're doing of course, but I'm not sure they are calculating the best path to the result that they presumably want. IMHO someone(s) should just start talking and telling their stories of the vicious pedophile cabal they were passed around among. Even if they don't say who, just make it known, it definitely happened, I was there type of thing? That would go a long way towards getting some action on the justice front, I would think
