Congress Demands Epstein Files, Silence on Other Skeletons
The House is finally getting around to voting on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, which AP breathlessly reports as a triumph over 'opposition from Donald Trump and Republican leadership.' What this glowing report conveniently omits is the selective outrage on display. These same lawmakers, championing transparency now, rarely show similar fervor for unsealing records on, say, the billions in
taxpayer dollars funneled to other countries without accountability, or the long-term impact of their own legislative votes. One might wonder if this sudden transparency drive extends to the donor rolls of PACS, like AIPAC, which poured over $51 million into US elections in 2022 and 2024, shaping foreign policy through financial incentive. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), for instance, has publicly
stated he refuses AIPAC money. Is Congress ready to release *those* files, detailing exactly how much lobbying money steers legislative action?
