36. Because the DOJ/FBI was Trumpland, as an article circa 2016 put it.

Lest anyone forget: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/03/fbi-leaks-hillary-clinton-james-comey-donald-trump

All the Hillary ratfucking occurred under a Republican FBI Director that usurped his superior, and more "catch and kill" activities regarding Trump crimes occurred under the next Republican FBI Director who had a meek superior that waited too long to get the right people in there (i.e., Jack Smith) to prosecute the crimes.

The same organization(s) that fucked over Hillary, had Epstein """commit suicide""" under their watch, slow-walked the Trump investigations, have been selectively prosecuting Trump's political enemies as directed, had thousands redacting these files that they were legally requiring to release weeks ago, etc. -- is it that surprising these people didn't go after Epstein's co-conspirators?

When a Democrat gains control of the Executive Branch, the DOJ and FBI need to be completely cleaned the fuck out, from the top to the bottom.
