Congressman Ro Khanna just read aloud the names of six powerful men that had previously been redacted from the Epstein Files, names the public was never supposed to hear.

Salvatore Nuara

Zurab Mikeladze

Leonic Leonov

Nicola Caputo

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem

Lesley Wexner

Let’s all watch as nothing happens, since only Les Wexner is American.

Correction:

Nuara might be an NYPD detective mentioned in early cases against Epstein (https://github.com/rhowardstone/Epstein-research/blob/main/individuals%2FKHANNA_SIX_NAMES_INVESTIGATION.md)

    It’s unreal that this is literal proof of a government coverup and I can sit here and be genuinely thinking to myself “yeah, nothing will happen”.

      I don’t know, other countries are spinning up investigations left and right and this is going to remain in the headlines for a long time. Americans will absolutely be drawn into other countries’ investigations, which is good since we have no one here with authority interested in investigating.

      There have been a number of political resignations across Europe already, and the Starmer-led government in the UK is near collapse due to this release.

        nah, i think they’re just helpless either way. if there’s no proof it’s just a theory. if there is, they’re just angrily sitting in their bunker, not knowing what to do. maybe they’re a bit glad at least everybody knows.

          They’re ignoring/denying all this, it’s almost all I’ve seen from them. When they make it their entire personality, I’m going to call them on it.

            maybe from the right wingers amongst them, but the other wings are like “we’ve been telling you all along” but don’t know what to do about it.

              I was referring specifically to the right wingers, to clarify. I do see how my wording would include everyone, so correction, the right wing conspiracists. Anyone else would definitely be in the boat you’re describing of just helplessness I would imagine

      Don’t be a defeatist. Organize and educate others to fight back however possible. Nothing has been done for years so it doesn’t help to spread defeatist ideology in an activist community working to piece this all together. I get it, shits bleak but we don’t need people piling on… rant over.

    The article only lists five. Where’d the sixth name come from?

    Edit: there’s a video at the top with the readout.

      I’m not sure why the article only lists 5, when he mentions 6 in the video, and also mentions there are 6 in the article, but doesn’t list him.

      Plenty of grounds for another conspiracy.
