Epstein Files: The One Bipartisan Cause Washington Can't Ignore
The AP reports House Republicans, joined by Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna, are pushing to release Epstein files, bucking leadership and even a former President. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) predicts a 'veto-proof majority.' One might wonder why a bill aimed at transparency around an alleged sex trafficker requires such a parliamentary struggle, especially when the Justice Department is supposedly
dedicated to justice. The real story here isn't just the files; it's what they expose about the systemic rot in Washington, where powerful figures seemingly skate by with impunity until public outrage, not principle, demands action. This push for transparency is commendable, yet the mainstream framing often sidesteps the obvious: accountability is only pursued when it's politically unavoidable, or
when the alleged perpetrators are no longer politically viable. For years, the powerful protected Epstein. Now, the collective amnesia is deafening. One might ask why this same energy isn't applied to other scandals involving complicit elites or the endless, unquestioned flow of taxpayer dollars to foreign conflicts, where the victims don't have enough 'juice' to rattle the establishment.
