Ben Sasse (R-NE) did not mince words when stating what he wants to see happen next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis verdict shouldn\u2019t be the end,\u201d Sasse said in a brief <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sasse.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/2021\/12\/sasse-on-maxwell-verdict-justice-must-be-done\">press release<\/a> after a jury found Maxwell guilty on Wednesday. \u201cThe DOJ needs to go after every single scumbag who committed crimes with Maxwell and Epstein.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell was found guilty on five of six counts on Wednesday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epsteins-former-girlfriend-found-guilty-in-sex-abuse-trial\">reported<\/a>. Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s former girlfriend was convicted of \u201cconspiracy to entice individuals under 17 to travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in \u2018illegal sexual activity,\u2019 conspiracy to transport individuals under 17 to travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in \u2018illegal sexual activity, transportation of an individual under 17 with intent to engage in \u2018illegal sexual activity,\u2019 conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of individuals under 18, and sex trafficking of an individual under 18.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She will be sentenced at a later date and will face another trial for two perjury charges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sasse, a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, has regularly called on the DOJ to do its job in regard to investigating Epstein. He constantly pressed the DOJ to look into its \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/ben-sasse-jeffrey-epstein-sexual-assault-justice-department-a3ae5528-e285-4dd1-bd12-48a8df3c924b.html\">sweetheart deal<\/a>\u201d with Epstein, and in February 2019, the DOJ opened an investigation into its handling of the convicted pedophile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In November 2020, Sasse said in a statement, \u201cLetting a well-connected billionaire get away with child rape and international sex trafficking isn\u2019t \u2018poor judgment\u2019 \u2013 it is a disgusting failure. Americans ought to be enraged. Jeffrey Epstein should be rotting behind bars today, but the Justice Department failed Epstein\u2019s victims at every turn. The DOJ\u2019s crooked deal with Epstein effectively shut down investigations into his child sex trafficking ring and protected his co-conspirators in other states. Justice has not been served. The full report needs to be released to the public. OPR might have finished its report, but we have an obligation to make sure this never happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Epstein was found dead in prison, Sasse <a href=\"https:\/\/outreach.senate.gov\/iqextranet\/view_newsletter.aspx?id=102317&amp;c=SenSasse\">wrote<\/a> to Attorney General William Barr, criticizing the lack of precautions taken. \u201cThe Department of Justice failed, and today Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s co-conspirators think they might have just gotten one last sweetheart deal,\u201d wrote Sasse. \u201cEvery single person in the Justice Department \u2014 from your Main Justice headquarters staff all the way to the night-shift jailer \u2014 knew that this man was a suicide risk, and that his dark secrets couldn\u2019t be allowed to die with him. Given Epstein\u2019s previous attempted suicide, he should have been locked in a padded room under unbroken, 24\/7, constant surveillance. Obviously, heads must roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the Maxwell verdict, Sasse didn\u2019t wait long to once again lambaste the DOJ\u2019s handling of the Epstein and Maxwell crime ring. \u201cJustice must be done,\u201d he said. \u201cEpstein and Maxwell\u2019s victims deserve nothing less. The DOJ failed again and again and again when Epstein escaped justice. Maxwell must pay for her heinous crimes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
