I will raise 80 million dollars to tear open every sealed file and pursue justice for every affected victims and Virginia — to the very end.”
The moment the declaration left her lips, the entire NBC studio fell silent. Rachel Maddow — long known for her cool logic and restraint — appeared in a presence the audience had never seen before.

Within seconds, social media erupted. Powerful names suddenly fell into an uneasy silence. In a tense 14-minute segment, Maddow called the book “the indictment America chose to ignore” and announced a plan to raise tens of millions of dollars to reopen sealed files.
