Amy Robach

you have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions.

You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in Epstein files.

And when you did, not a single Republican member showed up for Les Wexner's deposition.

They know how to handle just about anyone or any line of questioning.

And yes, I don't know when this video is going to be released, but certainly this is going to be huge for people to be able to see exactly what is going on right now as we record this.

Her opening statement continues.

This institutional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official.

Who could she be referring to?

Rather than to seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors, as well as the public who also want to get to the bottom of this matter, my heart breaks for the survivors, and I am furious on their behalf."

For too long, these have been largely invisible crimes or not treated as crimes at all.

But the survivors are real and they are entitled to better.

Not only is she saying, I don't know anything about Epstein, she goes on to say what she did do to try and stop human trafficking in this country and around the world, and then tells the committee if they really are serious about protecting victims, all the different things they should have done.

One of them was interesting.

They said it would ensure that the lawful redactions of those files protected the victims and survivors, not powerful men and political allies.

That has been a huge, huge criticism.

that the Department of Justice did a terrible job at redacting the names of some of these victims who then were outed for the first time in decades.

Suddenly now they're getting calls from the media, they're getting pressure, and people who didn't know suddenly they're thrust into the spotlight, whereas they were very careful to make sure lots of names were redacted of powerful men, and certain files to this day, we reported earlier today, are missing, conveniently missing,

that may implicate other powerful men, aka President Trump.

So she goes on to say what could have been done and what should have been done.

So she says, but that's not happening.
