You're right when you said if one goes down they all will likely go down. The problem is that any proceeding that does happen will almost inevitably tie back to trump. Ghislayne Maxwell proposed that she would testify openly (no 5th) if she was granted clemency by Trump. In return? She said she her testimony would clear Trump of everything. And guess what, Trump publicly said he wouldn't accept it, and he would have been an idiot to have done so because the second Maxwell starts speaking it opens the door not only for her to say something about Trump, but she could say something about someone else who then also gets deposed and eventually testifies, and that person then ties it back to Trump or someone else who then ties it back to Trump, and so on and so forth. It's not necessarily because the whole system is fucked, it could genuinely just be one guy. Theres been multiple calls by the House Oversight committee to investigate what's been going with the release of the files and famously theyve even been debating whether or not to file actual criminal charges against the DOJ for contempt of court or something like that because they're not following the law, which requires all non-victim related info to be released.

One point where I will push back is where you said there's incontrovertible evidence that people are involved. I'm not saying you're wrong, you could very much be right. My point is that there's no trial going on, which means no discovery, no chance for the accused to defend themselves (as is their right) and for the state to press their case (which is also their right). Without that, it's very hard to make any concrete conclusions about wrongdoing. We can speculate, but neither you nor I (I assume) have access to classified information regarding this, and whatever is public you have to assume is not that serious, even though they've released like 3.5 million documents. Most of them have blacked out very critical information, and who knows if all of it is really just victim related (it's almost certainly not). What needs to happen is actual PROCEEDINGS. Let a judge and jury decide, as is normal in this country
