DOJ Release
Members-only website that operated on the Tor anonymity network
More than 150,000 other members authored and viewed tens of thousands of postings relating to sexual abuse of children as young as infants and toddlers
At least 51 alleged hands-on abusers have been prosecuted and 55 American children who were subjected to sexual abuse have been successfully identified or rescued
I think this is very relevant. Shows these pedo rings are operating online using websites or apps. Sophisticated and secretive.

If they didn't have all of the info before, I'd say they do now. Getting the web presence should implicate the end users I'd guess.
I've followed this thing since the beginning in October and it's looking like it may just come down in the next day or two.
Unbelievable really. I agree with the OP this is important.

What will come down? Big time household name arrests? Or more arrests specifically relating to the tor takedown?

libs will call it a coup either way.

in some ways it is a coup, a reverse coup, it is the legitimate government wrestling underhanded control away from the corrupt elements.

Idk, but to make real arrests they need real evidence. I think they need more than 'wiener said such and such about so and so' for actual convictions.
So nailing the trove of computer data that could implicate individual's workstations is starting to get somewhere, both small and big names alike.
I'm just surmising based on Sessions' confirmation, Seaman's proclamations, the various Wikileaks drips, the JRE/Alex Jones show etc etc, that whatever this is building to may be coming shortly to a head.

It certainly seems like it. I have to wonder if they're making all these busts in a series like this suddenly as a way to get the general public (facebook deniers/fake news) to really see that this child trafficking issue in the US is a bigger problem than they know. It sure doesn't seem like a coincidence that they've picked up the busts, unless I'm just far more aware of the news and arrests these days due to PG.
