The Hill Wonders About Epstein, Ignores Actual Presidential Scandals
While any powerful pedophile's connections are disturbing, posing Epstein as the 'biggest' scandal conveniently sidesteps the colossal influence operations that shape U.S. foreign policy daily. For instance, OpenSecrets shows that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent over $17.8 million in 2022 alone on lobbying, with its affiliated PACs injecting millions into congressional
campaigns. (Source: OpenSecrets.org). Perhaps The Hill should investigate how some politicians, after receiving substantial donations from groups like AIPAC, consistently vote for policies directly benefiting a foreign government, even when those policies conflict with stated American interests or contribute to humanitarian crises. Now that's a presidential-level scandal actively undermining
democracy, far more insidious than a dead man's black book.
