I don't understand why we can't have transparency on how Epstein made his money, and how it was spent. There must be a money trail. Seems like the odds are good that he got a hundred thousand here, another hundred thousand there, and that the people giving him that money most likely paid for unsavory services. That would drill down to the truth quickly.

You're not going to get Justice against the ruling class. It's just how that works. You don't spill the blood of Kings.
The hard part with being American is that our ruling class figured out a while ago that taking the formal mantle of ruling class paints a nice big Target on them. So instead they called themselves billionaires or CEOs or philanthropists or whatever and a large percentage of the population ignores the fact that there are people who are above the law.
About the only thing we are going

Interesting you compare US elites against monarchs. The better monarchs today don't really rule, they oversee the population. They like to see their subjects do well, provided it doesn't infringe on their lifestyle. By contrast much of the US elites, and trump in particular, seem to actively enjoy asserting control over the population and care little about their well being. They do share the benefit of being above the law, but only the monarchs will admit that.

There are no good monarchs. Only neutered ones and bad ones.
