“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.

Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.

“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”

    I was a member of the US military. I never got any form of psych eval, and neither did anyone I knew, except for people who had a Top Secret clearance.

    So your hours of reading are just wrong, or you didn’t understand something. It happens.

    So yeah, the people who were likely to get a psych eval were the people most likely to need one. And that creates selection bias.

      Its funny how I keep getting push back for this but have got confirmation on my information from others. You were a grunt I guess and not a trouble maker so you slide on by. I guess its the people I asked since one of the people who confirmed it was a ex EOD tech and a army ranger. A real stable and trustworthy person whose word carries more weight with me than any random internet stranger.

      The numbers I got were reporting from the military to the office of general accounting. Like I said the links I provided was the start of the search not the end. I know how to look up information and its not my job to do it for you or appease your doubt. Why would it create a selection bias? Because the people are smarter or more useful to the military?

        I made NCO. I still never got a psych eval. It wasn’t part of the process.

        Again, if I had needed a Top Secret clearance there would have been one, but I never needed anything beyond Secret, which did not come with a psych eval.

        The vast majority of people never get Top Secret, and never get a psych eval unless something comes up, like a major fuckup or certain combat roles.
