US Justice Dept. Promises Epstein Files Will Be, Uh, Reviewed. Eventually.
The US Justice Department is reportedly facing a deadline to release Epstein files, a development the mainstream media presents as typical bureaucratic procedure. What they neglect to emphasize is that this 'deadline' comes almost five years after Jeffrey Epstein's convenient jail cell 'suicide' (which the Bureau of Prisons determined was caused by 'gross negligence') and decades after his crimes
were an open secret among the financial and political elite. Let's not forget Epstein's infamous 2008 sweetheart deal, facilitated by then-US Attorney Alexander Acosta, which allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state charges and avoid federal prosecution for trafficking minors. One might wonder if the delay in releasing these files has any connection to the sheer number of powerful, well-connected
individuals whose names might appear in them. It's almost as if some institutions would prefer the public gaze remain fixed on less inconvenient truths. The question isn't just *if* these files will be released, but *what* they will contain, and how many 'redactions' will render any real accountability into another dusty, unfinished chapter.
