Epstein Files Reveal Elitist 'Eyes Wide Shut' Cabal".
There may be many reasons why Trump has been fighting off the release of the Epstein Files - but now has gone TACO calling for their release. He has probably calculated that the risks of withholding the files from public view are higher than any personal involvement in sex with underage girls.
- He may personally be found to have had sex with underage girls. But he can argue this was long time ago. For someone who got away with leading a seditious attack against the constitution, cheating in elections, and paying off prostitutes, he is calculating that he can easily weasel his way out of having had sex with underage girls a couple of decades ago. For someone his age and at the end of his policital career, he doesn't care about anything.
- If the Files show he's not personally liable for having had sex with minors, his reluctance to release them may be because he is trying to save Republican friends, associates, Congressmen and such other prominent figures in finance and academia close to him, whom the Files may eventually show as guilty. He couldn't possibly be trying to protect Democrats.
- I don't know who has custody of the Epstein Files or whether they are protected from tampering. I wouldn't put it beyond Donald Trump to have tried in the meantime (between his reluctance and now his sudden acquiescence to the release) to doctor the files to protect himself.
As the Wrap said, "The Epstein Emails Show That Conspiracy Theorists Are Right: ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ Is Real ... It seems there is a code among people with power and money who are pals no matter what side of the aisle, no matter the sins"
The 20,000 emails made public (these are different from "The Epstein Files") reveal that there is full-on corruption in the power elites of this country who are pals over such things as sexual deviancy and financial corruption no matter what side of the aisle they are on. Donald Trump’s name appears more than 1,600 times in the email release, and it has been amply evident that he’s fighting hard to keep the files from the DOJ investigation from being released.
Beyond the person of Trump, Epstein’s email pals range across the landscape of the politics and trip across business, media, tech, academia and society, from former Harvard president and Treasury Secretary Larry Summers (who has now apologized and is being terminated from Harvard) to former White House Democratic counsel Kathy Ruemmler. From MAGA dark knight Steve Bannon to prime ministers across northern Europe and Gulf oil dignitaries. From health guru Deepak Chopra, New York Times journalist Landon Thomas Jr, Harvard literature professor and poet Elisa Lew.
Lew recommended to Epstein to read “Lolita” by Nabokov, “a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl.” US Virgin Islands Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett while she was soliciting public testimony from former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. “Great outfit,” he texted her during the 2019 hearing, later advising: “Cohen brought up RONA — keeper of the secrets,” referring to Rhona Graff, Trump’s longtime executive assistant, before pushing her to ask about other “henchmen” in the Trump organization.
In March 2019, Harvard's Larry Summers whined to Epstein that a woman had “blown off” a weekend plan and complained about “being the friend without benefits.” Just a few months after this exchange, Epstein was arrested again, this time by the feds, on charges of sex trafficking. As a reminder, the search of his Manhattan townhouse at the time turned up evidence of sex trafficking and “hundreds—and perhaps thousands — of sexually suggestive photographs of fully — or partially —nude females,” according to the indictment. In a locked safe, there were CDs with handwritten labels: “Young [Name] + [Name],” “Misc nudes 1,” and “Girl pics nude.”
Julie K. Brown, the intrepid journalist from The Miami Herald first exposed Epstein’s crimes and has doggedly pursued the story long after. Asked if she thought the emails validated those who believed in wacky Pizzagate-style theories, she said, “What do you mean by conspiracy? (Ghislaine) Maxwell and Epstein — that was a conspiracy ... And that’s exactly the way they should be looked at. He got away with this. And our criminal justice system is broken. People who have money and power get away with crimes. That’s just a fact. She added: “It’s what they call the swamp.”
The swamp is specifically what Donald Trump promised to clean up. But he and Epstein are the swamp. We already knew about the likes of Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and ex-Prince Andrew. But these emails suggest a much wider group of elites who accepted Epstein as fine company.
All of this validates what has animated so much of the MAGA movement and the populist anger among progressives: the belief that the system is rigged. That regular people cannot get access to the byways of power or, eventually, money. This is the antithesis of democracy.
What is emerging from all of this is is a convergence between the street-level Left and Right against the elites on both sides. The feeling is that we have all been swindled by the politicians of both sides who keep us divided and angry, while they unite to break the laws and the norms.
What are we going to do about it? I guess that combined with all the corruption by elites around the world - demonstrations against political corruption are almost daily around the world (Bangladesh, Serbia, Mexico, the Philippines, Kenya, Indonesia, Nepal, France, the US....) - a generalized popular movement is likely to emerge with leftist overtones because the Right is often associated with the wealthy ruling elites while the Left is associated with the working class and the poor, who are less likely and have less money to dabble in corruption. But that doesn't mean that elites on either side are immune to corruption.
What are the Files going to tell us? Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein says he he has “dirt” on Donald Trump. How can someone as notorious - and as dangerous because of all the dirt he has on the elites - as Epstein commit suicide inside a highly supervised jail cell? I will venture that Epstein was "eliminated" to prevent him from ever revealing all the "Wonderful Secrets" he's had with Trump and others.
DOCTORING (or "SANITIZNG") THE EPSTEIN FILES before they are released.
Mark Epstein believes the FBI is participating in a cover-up of the files relating to his brother, Jeffrey. “I’ve been recently told the reason they’re going to be releasing these things, and the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files,” Epstein said. “There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it. That’s what I was told by a pretty good source,” he added.
Which explains why Trump has now suddenly flipped and is eager for the Files to be released. The Files have been cleared of all Republican names, which allows him to trumpet that "only Democrats are involved with Epstein". He said yesterday: “We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats”. “You look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton. They went to his island all the time, and many others, all Democrats.”
Mark Epstein doubled down on his claims, alleging FBI Director Kash Patel is participating in a cover-up of the way Jeffrey died behind bars. “He was the one who said in his testimony ‘you know a suicide when you see one.’ I had a laugh. How many suicides has that j****** seen?”
Shortly after last week’s release, Republican lawmakers released tens of thousands of emails from Epstein’s estate. House Speaker Mike Johnson said a vote to compel the Department of Justice to release all Epstein-related files could take place this week.
The latest files showed emails between the Epstein brothers, in what some allege to reference President Trump engaging in some sort of sexual activity with former President Bill Clinton.
“The only thing I responded to, because people got crazy with the ‘Bubba’ reference (in the email), and they tried to pin it on Clinton. So I made a public statement that it was not any reference to Bill Clinton. I like Bill Clinton … the email had nothing to do with Clinton, and that’s my last word on that email,” he said.
Epstein suggested his brother had compromising information on the president, but did not specify.
“He didn’t tell me what he knew, but Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,” he alleged. “You could see in the emails, Trump could deny it all he wants, but it’s pretty clear everything Trump says is a lie.”
Lisa Phillips, a survivor of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, also joined “CUOMO” on Monday night and alleged Justice Department officials “already have had all the information they’ve needed to release for years now.” Phillips said she and other victims of Jeffrey Epstein have named his famous clients, but she cannot understand why they have not been released to the public.
“We want to help to put the names out there, but it’s not our responsibility to do so. And I think you know, I think you know why,” Phillips said.

Another explanation for Trump's Flip on Releasing the Epstein Files: Pam Bondi and Donald Dumb's scheme to rescue the president.Top Dem makes shocking prediction on Epstein files after Trump’s flip-flop

U.S. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) explained explained why the files in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case might not be released despite President Donald Trump‘s reversal on the issue on Sunday.
Trump urged House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files after months of pleading with them not to do so, calling the files a “Democrat hoax.” Coons suggested during a Monday appearance on MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, that Trump is only backing the release of the files because he does not think the Justice Department will release them.
He said that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s investigation into a number of Democrats in connection to the case will be the administration’s excuse for not releasing the files.
“My gut hunch is that Attorney General [Pam] Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president, to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Democrats, will promptly say, ‘Oh no, no, there’s an ongoing investigation. We can’t disclose any of this,’ and the President will back that up,” Coons said on “Morning Joe.”
He said that the Senate should be demanding to see the files every day.
“We should be going to the floor every day and doing unanimous consent requests that say we should see these files now. We owe it to the victims,” he said. “This is just a despicable act of betraying the victims of Epstein. It’s long past time that we get transparency around this for the American people.”
The House is slated to vote this week on a bill that would force the Justice Department to release all files related to Epstein and the investigation into his death in federal prison. Trump told House Republicans to vote for the bill this week after previously pressuring them not to support it last week.
“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media late Sunday.
The president’s shift is an implicit acknowledgement that supporters of the measure have enough votes to pass in the House, although it has an unclear future in the Senate.
It is a rare example of Trump backtracking because of opposition within the GOP. In his return to office and in his second term as president, Trump has largely consolidated power in the Republican Party.
“I DON’T CARE!” Trump wrote in his social media post. “All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.”
