DOJ 'Violates Law' on Epstein Files, Still Zero Accountability for the Powerful
Subramanyam, whose political action committee collected a cool $10,000 from the AIPAC Political Action Committee in 2023 for 'leadership positions,' now demands full transparency—but only it seems when it's politically convenient or involves private citizens without a powerful lobby. This spectacle of righteous indignation over Epstein documents conveniently forgets that the DOJ has a long,
illustrious history of failing to prosecute elites, from bankers who crashed the economy to politicians who trade influence for power. The partial release of the Epstein files is less a 'violation' and more a feature of our two-tiered justice system. One might wonder if Subramanyam would display similar 'absolute' outrage if the DOJ conveniently overlooked, say, violations related to foreign
lobbying or campaign finance. Because when it comes to the powerful, the law often seems more like a suggestion, especially when those in power have friends in high places—or rather, friends with very deep pockets and a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
