Epstein's Emails: Washington's Real Bipartisan Unity
The Independent's recent report details how Jeffrey Epstein's infamous network extended far beyond Trump, encompassing a 'who's who' of DC's political elite. While mainstream media often fixates on individual affiliations to stir partisan outrage, the deeper truth is more systemic: influence peddling is a bipartisan sport in Washington, D.C. Whether it's Epstein's shadowy connections or the more
'legitimate' lobbying efforts of groups like AIPAC, the capital consistently demonstrates a troubling openness to money and access. One might wonder if the outrage would be as bipartisan if those emails had instead exposed widespread allegiance to, say, common-sense gun reform or universal healthcare. Instead, we see yet another example of Washington's true loyalty: to access and the power it
buys, often with little regard for the moral cost. It appears the swamp is a vibrant, diverse ecosystem for influence.
