EPSTEIN FILES: THE COVERUP CONTINUES
When Donald Trump was elected in 2024, there was a collective sigh of relief among conservatives. Finally, conservatives had the confidence that the president-elect was going to follow through on what he promised, expose all the lies and corruptions he could inside government and hopefully drain the swamp of Deep State operatives. He started out exposing government slush funds and billions in wasted tax dollars with DOGE, and cutting most funding to DEI initiatives, but as his first year wore on, we started to see signs that his hand-picked leaders of the FBI and DOJ were covering up for the Jeffrey Epstein files just as the Democrats had done under Biden. So, under Trump, the Deep State is alive and well. First, there were the statements of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino confirming the falsehood that Epstein killed himself in his suicide-proof jail cell, and secondly, both Patel and Bondi claimed they released all Epstein files while retaining millions of them. When the House passed the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” over Trump’s objection, the DOJ was forced to admit there were 3 million additional files, which they released, but with complete redactions of all the perpetrator’s names. Even worse, the DOJ determined that no prosecutions would be forthcoming. This week, I’ll give readers links to researchers who have found a host of prosecutable offenses which abound in the new releases, including egregious examples of abuse of minors. So even if the names of every single perpetrator is withheld from our view, why isn’t the DOJ prosecuting?
