Round 1 of the fight over releasing the Epstein files is now over, as President Trump signed the bill that sailed through Congress today. It was a huge victory for the survivors of Epstein's crimes, as they now vow to take up the battle and start sharing their stories and exposing who these rich and powerful men are in Epstein's network who sexually abused and trafficked them when they were children. It was a huge victory for the four members of the GOP in the House (3 of them women) that dared to stand up to Trump's intimidations and threats that allowed these survivors to go public. It was certainly not a total victory, however, as the Trump Administration carefully orchestrated how to respond to overwhelming public demand to release the files by changing their strategy and all agreeing to support the Bill, including Trump himself, and thereby avoiding an embarrassing vote on the Bill which could have potentially signaled who is too afraid of being exposed by the files. Only one member of the House voted against it, and the Senate passed it "as is" without even voting on it. This preserved the language in the Bill that Mike Johnson and others stated needed to be amended, probably the language that made it a criminal offense for participating in delaying the release of the files. So this battle is over now, and the next one begins, because nobody really believes that they are actually going to release documents or videos that would implicate the rich and powerful, at least not on the Republican side and not Trump. The current administration may try to use this against their Democratic foes, as there is a current "investigation" going on with the Clintons and others, but I doubt that will go anywhere, because they can then just turn around and do the same thing against Republicans. We should NOT expect our federal government, no matter who is in power, to tell us the truth about the vast Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking network, anymore than we can trust them to tell the truth on other things such as the John F. Kennedy assassination, 911, the COVID hoax and mass murders through the COVID-19 shots, and many other issues. But make no mistake here, this IS a victory, because now it gives victims and survivors of child sex abuse a much better environment to go public with their stories. So now it is time to focus on something much larger and much more evil than the Epstein child sex trafficking network, and that is the current child trafficking network that is far larger, and is "legal" in every state in the U.S. - The Foster Care and Adoption networks that your tax dollars fund, allowing child traffickers to exist in every single community within the U.S., legally.
