I think you're not wrong to bring up the points you do, but what I would observe is this: no law enforcement organizations or even specific law enforcement individuals or anyone involved in protecting children from sexual exploitation seems to have anything whatsoever to say about Epstein.

Suppose you were walking down the street and see billowing clouds of smoke coming out of a building. A huge crowd of firemen looking at it all spin on their heel and walk briskly away. I think most would definitively conclude something was very, very wrong about that situation. But I suppose if you really wanted to, lacking specific evidence, you could convince yourself there was no fire and all firemen were dedicated professionals and just continue walking on your way.
