    And you’ve not even touched on the domestic abuse from the last few years.

    Why would I? My comment is limited to the unlikelihood that Virginia Giuffre “submitted all the evidence she had,” and nothing else you’ve said changes that. I do not believe she told all she knows.

    Nor do I believe that we, the public, have any right to expect anything from victims of trafficking, even the “full truth” at their own expense and with no personal guarantees of safety from those who use them, because if we were doing our collective job as a society, it would never be needed.

    If Ms. Giuffre withheld names and/or information for her own safety, good on her. It’s not like anyone else was looking out for her.

      Ms Giuffre gave Sworn Deposition. Changing her story later to add names that she “held back” is called purjury, and renders all of her testimony null and void.

      She would have been told this multiple times. No lawyer will let a witness into a courtroom without first getting their testimony as a sworn statement before hand. it’s part of the process of a court case.

      So legally, we must treat her testimony as full and complete to her knowledge. Hell, Trump and company would have loved for her to purjur herself. That would have made their day.

      Purjury from a key witness can completely sink a case.
