26. I did not mean it that way.

And I agree that sex exploitation is rarely mostly about the sex. Yes, it is about power and control.

In this case, it is about power, control, money, and issues of global consequence that are way beyond sex.

It is horrible what Trump and Epatein did to these women and girls. But it is extremely important to expose WHY they did it. The story is much, much bigger than sex.

I believe the committee realizes this. Because the cover-up has been so complete, they feel that their best chance of getting the full story is to approach it as a sex crime, because the media will pay attention to that. It is much bigger.
