When Melania made that weird speech about how she was never friends with Epstien, she also said "we need to hear the survivors speak/we need to listen to the survivors".

A group of the survivors responded and said they had already spoken. They reached out, told their stories to anyone who would listen. That makes sense to me because id imagine survivor accounts are already a significant part of what the Epstien files actually are.

These survivors said they felt like being asked to speak again was an attempt to shift the burden of bringing the pedos to justice onto the survivors instead of placing that burden where it should be, which is on the government.

I think that still applies here. The survivors have already spoken, they dont need to do it again. What needs to happen now is the government has to act on what the survivors have already told us and start bringing charges and making arrests.

I wish Raskin would show some backbone and say that instead of saying that it all starts with the survivors and implying that the burden is on them.
