"I'm not controversial, so I like it that way." — President Donald Trump.
Isn’t it obvious what’s at the heart of this Jeffrey Epstein psychodrama? The country is sick unto near-death with official secrecy, cover-ups, black ops, stonewalling, and never-ending games of political hide-the-salami — especially when those salamis are directed up the Republic’s own rear end. The worst victim of sexual abuse is America herself. Can’t somebody please make it stop?
And so, over the weekend, psychodrama devolved to soap opera as President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acted-out their lovers’ quarrel on every public channel of news and gossip until, finally, Mr. Trump pulled one of his trademark ju-jitsu moves and yielded to all that implacable forward motion to release the Epstein files.
What the public really wants is to find out which celebrities, politicians and otherwise, were having sex with underage girls so said celebrities can be frog-marched out of public life. It’s hard to not sympathize with that wish. It’s kind of fundamental that perverts and degenerates are not deserving of public trust. The people in this land who are not perverts and degenerates yearn for the reestablishment of decent behavior, and sexual indecency is only the most garish sort of depravity. Beyond that lies the shadowland of grift, racketeering, sedition, and treason at issue in the ongoing decline-of-empire tragedy that’s played out for a decade. And the non-depraved long to get to the bottom of that, too.
Only tertiarily do they care that Jeffrey Epstein was some kind of agent or go-between for the US / UK / Israeli spy services, though it helps to color between the lines of all this other sketchy stuff. He brokered lots of shenanigans as far back as the Iran-Contra operation in the 1980s — big arms deals and such — and for a while was the world champion money launderer for intel gangs of every flag. All the trafficking in girls was apparently part of the package. But intel agencies always dangle women as bait (and sometimes boys, too) and Epstein’s pimpery was just an additional standard service. Whether he tasted his own product is kind of beside the point.
Anyway, everything known in the matter so far suggests that Donald Trump did not submit himself to sexual blackmail and that, long before he entered politics, it’s likely he cooperated with law enforcement to put Jeffrey Epstein in jail the first time around. Of course, it was during Mr. Trump’s first term, in 2019, that Epstein was back behind bars where, as far as the public has been told, he decided to end-it-all.
Jeffrey Epstein’s afterlife has had an impressively long run right here on planet earth, where he enjoys more attention these days than even Sydney Sweeney. He’s more alive to us than any incarnation of Dracula conjured out of Hollywood and he’s draining the blood out of what’s left of a once-workable political system. What has prevented all that hoarded evidence of Epstein’s depredations from getting released? Did Christopher Wray stuff it down the memory hole? Were there hidden cameras in his various lodgings or not? How is it possible no video recordings survived?
We are still mystified by the Pam Bondi bait-and-switch dodge back in February when she handed out files of old Epstein news clippings to select reporters instead of anything fresh and substantial from the FBI vaults. And since then, the DOJ’s resistance has only hardened. There’s chatter lately that the president’s Chief-of-staff, Susie Wiles, has acted to block full disclosure on Epstein. Whatever’s going on has been the opposite of Mr. Trump’s promised “transparency,” and all the maneuvering around that broken promise has mounted to a serious political liability.
On Sunday night, Mr. Trump stepped out of the way in one of his customary Truth Social blurts. Wouldn’t it be better if he just went on-the-air with an Oval Office speech to level with the American people, telling all he knows and what the people need to know about this drawn-out Epstein business? Why wait for all the sorting through new files (if there are any)? Mr. Trump has had many years to familiarize himself with the salient details of Epstein. He must know exactly what this guy was up to, and who he catered to as a global finance figure and a trafficker of girls to the political elite. What could possibly shock anyone at this point?
Mr. Trump should give that speech whether the House and Senate vote to release the DOJ’s files or not. Above all, I’m sure you realize, the country can’t stand anymore lying, most particularly from Donald Trump and his entourage. The institutional damage is just too grave.

Ordinarily he puts the C in Kuntsler, but Jimmy Baby generated a nice one sentence summation:...over the weekend, psychodrama devolved to soap opera as President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acted-out their lovers’ quarrel on every public channel of news and gossip until, finally, Mr. Trump pulled one of his trademark ju-jitsu moves and yielded to all that implacable forward motion to release the Epstein files.
"...the country can’t stand anymore lying, most particularly from Donald Trump and his entourage. The institutional damage is just too grave."Epstein is a sideshow. The racial division, islamism, and communist project that Obama launched (and accelerated) to destroy the USA and all of Western Civilization is a far graver threat. Steve McCann does an excellent job summarizing the dire threat of the radical Democrat party in today's American Thinker: The Democrat Party And The Death Of Western Civilization.
“Wouldn’t it be better if he just went on-the-air with an Oval Office speech to level with the American people, telling all he knows and what the people need to know about this drawn-out Epstein business?”
Sure, the lefties will believe every word and be pacified. No, they have to go through every detail with their grubby mitts, certain that a perverted orange man is concealed within. They can not rationalize that had there been one iota of a suggestion that Trump was involved then Sniffy and his cohorts would have been shouting it from the rooftops. They have taken the bait, and Trump has set the hook. To quote Flounder from Animal House: “Oh boy, is this great!”
I miss the days when Pam Bondi assured all the files were on her desk and would be released very soon. What happened after that was a mystery.
Good post, puts everything into perspective.
This is a fight to the death, to preserve civilization, freedom, and everything decent. I’m not at all certain we will win.
I wish someone cared more about the illegal children trafficked into the country for sex on a far larger scale than this.
“I’m not at all certain we will win.” Ditto that.
That's correct. It's more about justice than just the release of the files. And, not a damn thing has been done to bring the men guilty of rape to justice.
Just like nothing has been learned or done about the Secret Service and FBI's complicity in the two assassination attempts against the President. It's impossible to believe the mistakes made at Butler were mere incompetence or that the FBI didn't know who Thomas Crooks and Ryan Routh before the assassination attempts.
Trump elected to clean this kind of corruption up. And, ten months into his term, it hasn't happened.
Yes. Where are the 300,000 unaccompanied children that disappeared?
And we have the Jan 6th escapade, in which the FBI is still releasing fresh video these near 5 YEARS later.
WTF is going on?
Is absolutely everything just a huge cover up?
Maybe that's because there are dozens of rich and powerful men that have gotten away with raping young women.
Why wouldn't there be conspiracy theories?
I don’t care who gets roasted.
Release the damned files already.
Exactly what are they hiding?
It is past time to know.
What happened after that was that an FBI whistleblower told Bondi that the New York field office was hiding the Epstein documents. Bondi then raided the NYSD FBI field office and seized "truckloads" of documents.
NY Southern District Field Office head James Dennehy sent an email to the staff claiming that the FBI was "in the middle of a battle of our own" and it was "Time for me to dig in."
Dennehy was eventually forced to submit his resignation from the FBI.

As a strong Israel supporter, if Israel ran Epstein by subjecting little girls to rape, let all of them fry in public.
Some lines may not be crossed.
You're not right.
It's the job of all three to clean up the corruption at the FBI and their efforts, at best, have been totally inadequate.
As has any meager effort to find out the truth about Thomas Cooks and Ryan Routh. Even Eric Trump has been vocal about demanding answers about Crooks.
Kunstler is a great read. Informative, incisive, fun.
Is absolutely everything just a huge cover up?
Apparently. I think the deception in government alone, across the last several decades, across the world, is staggering. Inconceivable to be able to calculate and understand. Everything’s a secret, everything’s worse than we can imagine, everything’s corrupt. Our government has been hiding the truth about every imaginable subject from us for decades. Last night, my husband was listening to a program about how the government was hiding, for example, UFO information from us. This was no Giorgio Tsoukalos crap; it was from a man who had worked in the government for decades, under officials in a position to control the facts, and was in a position to know. It was a real eye opener. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as far as government deception. And in this particular case, even the President isn’t read into the information. I have no doubt he is uninformed about most of the deception. Thev IC holds all the cards, and they’re not telling. That is the question -— who is running them?
“Too bad they didn’t have the files when a Democrat President was in office.”
That’s what baffles everybody. Why are both sides so reluctant to release this info?
The only logical conclusion is that neither side sees anything to gain from it, and possibly much to lose and so both sides decided to just let it die.
But there’s enough suspicion and curiosity in the broader public to keep this alive until it all comes out.
