DOJ Erases Trump Photo: 'Nothing to Do With Trump,' They Say
Axios reports the Department of Justice removed a photo allegedly showing Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from recently released Epstein files. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called speculation about Trump's involvement 'laughable,' claiming the photo was removed because of 'women included.' This mirrors a familiar pattern where the powerful are shielded from public
scrutiny, while explanations strain credulity like a bad alibi. We saw similar 'erasure' tactics when politicians who vocally supported particular foreign policies had their financial ties to those interests downplayed. It's almost as if accountability is reserved for those without a seat at the top. The missing photo, featuring Trump (and 'women in bikinis' according to NBC), now serves as a
perfect metaphor for the selective transparency governing our institutions. One might wonder, how many times must such 'coincidences' occur before we recognize the pattern?
