A lot of people responded to my recent blog: “The Ep Sting.” One thing certain, is that no one, in either party is even pretending to defend Jeffrey Epstein. The following comment, by my friend Larry does an outstanding job of pointing out the real problem.
No More Ep-scam
Let’s stop pretending.
Jeffrey Epstein didn’t operate alone, and he didn’t get away with it because he was clever.
He got away with it because powerful people protected him for years — politicians, celebrities, billionaires, institutions, and a media class that suddenly can’t remember its own silence.
These weren’t passive bystanders.
They benefited from looking the other way.
Epstein was their access point — a gatekeeper to money, influence, and dark indulgences. And everyone knew it. The same people who now claim moral outrage were perfectly comfortable shrugging him off as “old news” until they realized they could weaponize his crimes against Trump.
That’s when they came running.
Not for justice — but for leverage.
They wanted Trump’s name on a headline, not the truth in daylight.
But now the truth is turning on them.
As more evidence drips out, it’s becoming painfully obvious:
The people screaming the loudest weren’t trying to expose Epstein — they were trying to direct the spotlight away from themselves and finally get Trump right where they wanted him.
That’s why the tone changed overnight.
Why networks went quiet.
Why certain names keep getting blurred, sealed, or “redacted for privacy.”
The public isn’t stupid.
You don’t hide names to “protect victims.”
You hide names to protect friends.
And the panic is real now, because the files aren’t cooperating with their story.
The deeper investigators dig, the closer the trail leads to their circles — the same elite club that was convinced it would never get caught.
Epstein’s ring wasn’t some underground secret.
It was an open secret in places where power gathers — whispered about, joked about, tolerated, ignored.
The system didn’t fail.
The system protected itself.
Now that protection is cracking.
And what happens next matters:
No more selective outrage.
No more political chess.
No more protecting reputations of the “important.”
Every single name that touched this operation must be exposed — red or blue, wealthy or famous, powerful or hidden.
Because justice can’t be partisan.
Truth can’t be redacted.
And the public is done being lied to while the elite shield each other.
Open the files.
Open everything.
Let the chips fall — no matter who gets crushed underneath them.
Thanks Larry. It would be great if honorable people in either party would choose character over political gain. Sadly, neither Larry or I are very confident that this will actually happen. But, wouldn’t it be wonderful, and refreshing if just someone would choose to do the right thing, for the right reason, without regard to the personal consequences. Don’t hold your breath.
