Because our government is run by elite criminals, obviously.

Because our government is predominantly made up of elite criminals who have just not been caught yet. It's just professional courtesy, really.

Because they're in solidarity with their own class interests. No doubt that there are a bunch of elected officials who would feature in the Epstein files if they were released in full, but even those that wouldn't still have a vested interest in stabilising the current order. Doing this sets a precedent that even if consequences come for some, they will be protected.

Not every elected representative is a corrupt asshole, but I'd wager it's the majority. Some of them probably even think they're acting benevolent in acting to reinforce and protect their own power.

The system isn't broken, it's working exactly as intended.

Because they defer to power.

Because they're friends

I would argue that it's important to protect any criminal's treatment while imprisoned..... however, this is especially hypocritical for them considering how they normally regard 99% of the people in prison.

Self interest.

Maybe they’re the only ones they can actually empathize with because they can see themselves in an elite prison someday.

Why is our government so dedicated to protecting elite their criminals and their treatment.

The question is the answer.

This is the bad place

It's what happens when the rich have nothing to fear from the government

Man she sounds like she gives no fucks. Good on her!

They're going to say she was mauled to death by the vicious dogs (puppies)
