👇 Here are direct quotes from survivor Maria Farmer after newly released FBI files confirmed her 1996 complaint about Jeffrey Epstein:

1.

“This is amazing.

Thank you for believing me.”

2. “I feel redeemed.”

3. “Of course, it’s mixed with the fact that I’m devastated about all the other little girls… who were harmed because the FBI didn’t do their job.”

4. “I’m shedding tears of joy for myself, but also tears of sorrow for all the victims the FBI failed.”

5. “Had the government done their job… over 1,000 victims could have been spared and 30 years of trauma avoided.”
