    Because there have been too many cases where women have been proven to have lied. (Which isn’t to imply that people are lying about Epstein. This is a general point.)

    Let people have due process and release the Epstein files.

        I like the version “Take all women seriously” over “Believe all women”.

        It addresses both problems - some women false report, but if you take all of them seriously, nobody (theoretically) gets away with committing a crime.

        I guess it’s not as catchy, though.

        Trump being a rich dude makes him a target for gold diggers. That’s why you don’t convict someone because someone else said so.
        Trump saying something doesn’t mean he’s telling the truth (actually, that’s 99.99% the case whenever he opens his mouth).
        Trump being friends with a sex-trafficker does not mean he rapes people… but it sure as hell doesn’t help his character (he has none).

        But he has been convicted already so… lock him up? This should be a non issue, he should be behind bars.

          I’m not saying he should be convicted with no process. I’m saying he shouldn’t be allowed to do one of the most powerful jobs in the world given the many, many women that have come forward
