"Distracted by War to Notice"

 

Funny how Trump's DOJ quietly dumped hidden Epstein files the same week bombs started falling on Iran. After an NPR investigation revealed dozens of pages were withheld from the public Epstein database, the Justice Department finally posted 16 new pages covering three FBI interview summaries with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. 

Their excuse? The documents were "incorrectly coded as duplicative." Sure. Just a little clerical error that happened to bury every single interview mentioning the President.

The woman told FBI agents that Epstein brought her to meet Trump when she was approximately 13 years old, and she described in graphic terms how Trump allegedly assaulted her and how she fought back. The FBI sat down with her four separate times. That's not how you treat someone you think is lying.

Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown reported that DOJ officials who spoke with this woman found her credible, noting they wouldn't have conducted four interviews otherwise. And it's still not over. Even after this release, 37 pages remain missing from the public database, including notes from the interviews and internal communications about how the case was resolved.

The timing here is impossible to ignore. Google searches for the Epstein files plummeted after the Iran strikes began, according to one analyst who called the war a "distraction" from Trump's worst domestic crises.

Even Republican Rep. Thomas Massie saw through it, posting that bombing Iran "won't make the Epstein files go away." AOC put it bluntly: if the Epstein files have such a hold on this administration that they're willing to risk world war to save themselves politically, that alone is grounds for removal. Pam Bondi got subpoenaed. Millions of pages remain hidden. And the President of the United States is hoping you're too distracted by war to notice. Don't be.
