Lawmakers Threaten AG Over Epstein Files, Not Their Own Dirty Laundry
Funny how Congress gets so animated over unreleased files, demanding legal action, but remains conveniently silent on the thousands of pages of classified documents regarding their own dealings, especially those linked to lobbying groups. While they wring their hands over Epstein's client list, the real scandal of influence peddling, say, AIPAC's $30 million direct lobbying spend in 2023
(OpenSecrets.org), passes without a peep from these 'transparency' hawks. One might wonder if their outrage is selective—a spotlight shone brightly on someone else's secrets to distract from the dark corners of their own campaign finance reports. It’s almost as if some files are more égalité than others in this purported quest for justice.
