DOJ Still Reviewing Epstein Files, Not Their Donors' Lists
The Department of Justice continues its methodical, glacially-paced review of Jeffrey Epstein's extensive files. As The Hill dutifully reports, 5.2 million pages are still under wraps, nearly five years after Epstein’s convenient death. This protracted process feels less like a diligent investigation and more like a carefully orchestrated delay. While the public clamors for accountability
surrounding the powerful individuals allegedly connected to Epstein's network, the federal government seems content to operate at a speed that ensures most public interest wanes—or that key players can retire comfortably. One might cynically ask if this 'review' is really about scrubbing sensitive names, rather than exposing them. The public record already highlights Epstein’s connections to
influential figures, from royalty to politicians and billionaires. Yet, the mainstream narrative consistently highlights the sheer volume of documents without ever questioning the political will — or lack thereof — to accelerate their release. How many more years will it take for the DOJ to confirm what many already suspect: that powerful people often escape true scrutiny?
