The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Congress is right to hold hearings and depositions on Jeffrey Epstein's case to address public outcry and ensure transparency. However, the conspiratorial fervor, fueled by promises of a "client list" and sinister cover-ups, has been exposed as baseless. Despite hype from Trump and officials like Pam Bondi, no credible evidence of blackmail or a client list emerged, proving these fringe theories are unfounded and lack substance.

Wall Street Journal The New York Times

Establishment-critical narrative

Decades of alleged cover-ups, from the Franklin scandal to Jeffrey Epstein, expose America's political elite as totally corrupt. It's unsurprising Epstein's well-known ties to powerful figures, coupled with his suspicious death, continue to fuel speculation about blackmail and cover-ups. Congress' probe must be fully transparent — every file, unredacted — or public trust will remain shattered. Hidden truths about grotesque corruption and abuse demand exposure to end this systemic rot.
