The government is doing what it can to release the files under legitimate legal constraints. While the process appears slow and politically motivated, agencies must navigate complex statutory requirements and redaction procedures. Courts, not politicians, ultimately control disclosure timelines. The heavily redacted documents reflect necessary compliance with federal law protecting sensitive information, even if transparency advocates find this frustrating.
The DOJ's sudden discovery of a million additional Epstein documents strains credulity. This convenient revelation delays transparency indefinitely while the administration protects powerful figures. The timing reeks of political calculation, burying damaging information behind bureaucratic excuses. Either they're criminally incompetent at records management or deliberately stonewalling. Either way, it's a betrayal of public trust and accountability.
