Let me make something crystal clear: any redaction — any — in the Epstein files, even if it’s just to fix a typo or obscure an “ongoing investigation,” will now be assumed by the public to be a deliberate attempt by the GOP and this White House to cover for a child sex trafficking ring. Your own staffers can’t keep their mouths shut. Acting Deputy Attorney General Joe Schmidt was caught on a hot mic admitting that Republican names would be redacted, while Democrats would be exposed. His retraction means nothing. That statement told us everything we need to know about who you’re protecting. You’ve soiled the truth. You’ve tainted the investigation. And you’ve handed the American people one final confirmation that this government is no longer interested in justice — only power. The list is now nearly moot. We already know what you’re doing. We already know who’s involved. The man sitting behind the Resolute Desk — the 34-time convicted felon you still pretend is a president — continues to lie, obstruct, and shield those in his inner circle. He’s been indicted, and he’ll be indicted again. But that’s not justice. That’s delay. And sadly, he may never be held accountable — not because he’s innocent, but because his body is failing faster than the system can catch him. So I wish him this: not good health, but long health. May he live a long life — long enough to witness every name exposed, every lie unraveled, and his legacy tied irrevocably to the crimes he protected. You have a choice: release the unredacted files now — or burn every shred of credibility your office has left.
