The Epstein Files Have Become Another #MeToo
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Feb 27 2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 03/01/2026 12:43:02 AM PST by texas booster

The arrest of Prince Andrew in the UK made worldwide headlines. What made fewer headlines was the tenuousness of the charges: “misconduct in public office”. Andrew was one of the few Epstein associates who could be most directly linked to the dead sex offender’s hobby. But “misconduct in public office” is an ambiguous charge based on his association with Epstein rather than any crimes against girls that he may have committed. And that’s par for the course.

Apart from Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of charges related to Epstein’s abuse of underage girls, no one has been held accountable for those crimes. Certainly not the abusers.

The hysteria and manipulation of the Epstein Files has become a new #MeToo movement in which people whose names simply appeared in a document, sometimes without having any relationship to the man himself, have been dragged into the spotlight and had their lives destroyed by social media grifters and political frauds like Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie whose very recent interest in the Epstein Files is limited to destroying President Trump.

A coterie of ‘Epstein Survivors’, some of whom were really smaller versions of Maxwell, helping traffic girls to Epstein, have been put forward by Democrats like Rep. Khanna, who was funded by an Epstein pal, LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman, who visited Epstein’s island, and Never Trumpers like Rep. Massie and the Bulwark crew, as well as through an ad campaign backed by everyone from the UN to abortion groups to the Carter Center, targeting Trump.

Meanwhile Bill and Hillary Clinton were dodging a congressional subpoena over Epstein.

People who should actually be going to jail are being treated like heroes and ‘survivors’ while Trump, who was one of the first to blow the whistle on Epstein, is being smeared at the behest of Democrats, Never Trumpers and the Left by women who helped traffic girls to be abused.

This cynical circus has entirely obstructed any hope of actual accountability for the abusers.

The Epstein Files have become another #MeToo, which began with the takedown of known abusers like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, who had appeared untouchable, but quickly turned into a witch hunt with fake accusers, smear campaigns against innocent people, information operations by powerful international players and a fake organization, ‘Time’s Up’, that protected the abusers and the industry while trying to redirect attention to Trump. In reality, the people behind Time’s Up were working with multiple sex abusers including Epstein.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

The powerful people who (unlike Trump) chose to associate with Epstein long after his crimes were known should face a certain amount of disgrace, especially those in positions of political power (Obama’s White House counsel), who developed troubling ties to Epstein (Bill Gates), or advocated for him (Noam Chomsky), but this isn’t actual accountability for crimes against girls.

Excellent article by Mr Greenfield about another aspect of the Epstein Files, about the people being smeared by the disclosures and those whom are forgotten.

Ping out to the Daniel Greenfield Ping! list.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the esteemed Daniel Greenfield ping list.

The article is wrong. Andrew is being investigated because, in 2010, he seems to have forwarded to Epstein confidential British government reports about Vietnam, Singapore and other places he had visited on ‌official trips in his capacity as a UK trade representative.

Me too #1 was triggered by Harvey Weinstein. Most Hollywood elites today knew what he was but they were mute.

Me too #2 now is triggered by Jeffrey Epstein. Most Demorcrat elites today knew what he was and who involved but they were mute.

They are all Democrats, so these are Democrats’ scandals.

Believe it or not, the media, academia and celebrities will blame Republicans for toxic masculinity.

Even the crockpot who says knew many of the allegations were fake!
July 7, 2016:

Norm Lubow, formerly a producer on the Jerry Springer show, apparently coordinated lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of raping a child in the 1990s

About 150 women successfully sued Epstein or the Epstein Estate for under age sex.

Only one them - Virginia Giuffre - publicly claimed that she was trafficked to some one besides Epstein.

None of the women - including Giuffre - have ever filed an under age criminal complaint (no statute of limitations), or given sworn testimony, about any other person besides Epstein.

ANYONE who associated with Epstein AFTER his conviction for Child Molestation shows such incredible bad judgement they should not be employable.

Meanwhile, Lefties are decrying our actions in Iran, trying to dismantle a regime that did things to women that leave Epstein and Weinstein in the dust.

Democrats are just trying to shut down the massive self-own that releasing the Epstein files turned into.

They were so certain it was going to take down Trump they never considered anything else as a possibility.

They live in a completely one dimensional universe where getting Trump is all they can ever think about.

Biden’s debate answer about abortion needed so perverts can rape siblings and relatives sums it up perfectly for the left it is their culture.

Daniel Greenfield, born in Israel, Jew, says the Epstein spy ring is no big deal and time to move on. Got it…. Still haven’t seen an Israeli or Jew on the right side of this attack.

Yeah, I noticed this. People resigning just because their name shows up in the files, whether or not they actually did anything.

____________________________
If you think this circus is accidental, you are dead wrong. Behind the curtain of Epstein was a sinister honey pot intelligence operation that is now doing what they do best which is to muddy the waters and confuse the public to the point where they do not know what to believe. The long running decades scope of the Epstein operation, with full knowledge of the CIA, Mossad, and M16 leads to no other conclusion. The old spy master Robert Maxwell’s background serves as the starting point.
