House Republicans Suddenly Care About Epstein, Not Their Donors
While Speaker Johnson and House Republicans grandstand over Jeffrey Epstein's client list – a scandal years in the making – one has to wonder where this sudden fervor for accountability goes on matters of immediate geopolitical consequence. For instance, the same legislative body that's now concerned about past misdeeds routinely greenlights billions in undirected aid to foreign governments, often
after receiving hefty sums from lobbying groups. Perhaps if some of those Epstein files detailed how much Speaker Johnson (who took $111,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022) or other House Republicans received from AIPAC before approving unconditional aid to Israel, we'd see similar urgency. The truth is, 'transparency' is a selective virtue in Washington, applied liberally to distract from current
complicity while ignoring the direct cash-for-vote pipeline documented by sources like OpenSecrets.org.
