Want to talk about the “deep state”? How about the Epstein files, documents everyone in power seems to tiptoe around? We’re told justice is blind in America, but somehow, when it comes to names tied to Jeffrey Epstein, that seems not to apply.

Donald Trump, the self-declared outsider, who was going to “drain the swamp”, had four years with the full weight of federal power behind him, and didn’t release a single page, not even to score political points, ask yourself why.

It’s not just Trump, either.

Congress, with all its theatrics and grandstanding, managed to hold dozens of hearings on Hunter Biden’s laptop, but not a serious public inquiry into Epstein’s trafficking empire until 2024. Even then, the momentum was shaky, full of redactions, and more concerned with optics than accountability. It’s almost like none of them really wants the names to come out, almost like they’re all protecting each other, because maybe they’re on the list.

Epstein didn’t come out of nowhere, this wasn’t a random predator operating in a vacuum. He was known to law enforcement as early as 2006, when the Palm Beach police raided his mansion and came back with hard evidence: photos, witness statements, even a secret room set up with hidden cameras. They had enough to nail him to the wall, and what happened?

He got a sweetheart deal.
