Nothing says buried forever. Time for a reckoning on the Epstein Files.
What’s amazing about the Jeffery Epstein saga isn’t how long he got away with it, or how he was able to operate with impunity for so long, or his long list of powerful friends. It isn’t the open-secret involvement of his accomplices, long list of victims, or even the first-class reception he continued to enjoy among the rich and powerful even after his crimes became a legal matter of public record.
The most amazing thing about Jeffery Epstein’s crimes is how much we already know about them. And how little has happened as a result.
There has already been a flood of damning information released about Jeffery Epstein, his crimes, and his associates. High profile, wealthy, powerful people from around the world were implicated by association, at the least.
Princely titles have been stricken. High-profile marriages have ended publicly. Questions remain about Epstein’s suicide in prison. Epstein’s accomplice sits in prison.
And yet, as far as Epstein’s client list — the whole truth may never be known. Not that anyone else has gone to jail over the fact that a decades-old, billionaire sex-trafficking ring was uncovered by U.S. authorities.
After a fashion.
Why it took federal authorities so long to catch up with Epstein is one of the many mysteries still obscuring the case.
We know who the ringleaders were. We know who the victims were. We know where and when these crimes took place.
Accomplices?
For the ones we know about, who deny their involvement to a man, there have been few consequences and no legal fallout whatsoever.
It’s amazing something like this can be brought to light and only one person is sitting in jail for it.
But we might be about to find out the rest of the story. Or at least, more of the story.
Donald Trump wants the Epstein files released.
“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,’” President Trump posted to Truth Social this week.
“The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on ‘Epstein,’ are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE!” Trump declared. “All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, ‘Affordability’ (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more!”
“Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory,” he added wryly. “Some ‘members’ of the Republican Party are being ‘used,’ and we can’t let that happen. Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein ‘TRAP,’ which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
House Republicans seem to be on board, too. House Democrats recently blocked an attempt to release the Epstein files, but they don’t have the votes to keep it up.
Donald Trump is right. It’s time to let the sunlight disinfectant rid the nation of the taint of the Epstein scandal.
And it is past time that the perpetrators of heinous acts of human trafficking and exploitation to be held to public account.
