Why Did The DOJ Drop The Epstein Case?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm still reeling, gobsmacked over the DOJ and this Sunday night two-page memo, whatever this thing was.
The Department of Justice has not simply failed the American people, you and me, it actively betrayed us.
This release of a two-page memo declaring that the Jeffrey Epstein case had no client list, no blackmail operation, and he died by suicide, nothing to see here, move along, is nothing short of a coordinated cover-up.
It's a deliberate, calculated move to end public inquiry into one of the most disturbing and far-reaching criminal conspiracies of the modern era.
And this isn't closure.
This isn't justice.
This is institutional protection of the most powerful individuals in the world.
And it's betrayal.
And the DOJ, with full knowledge and intent, has shut the door on transparency and accountability.
And I, and we want to know why.
Who gave them the orders?
For years, Americans were told that justice would be served, that the Epstein case would finally pull back the curtain on the elite networks of power and perversion that have operated unchecked for decades, that those who facilitated and benefited from Epstein's trafficking operations, whether in finance or politics, intelligence, media, extortion, whatever, would finally be exposed.
Instead, the DOJ has delivered a conclusion so insultingly thin, it reads more like a damage control statement than any serious attempt at investigation.
And you know it and I know it.
And there are no accompanying documents, no supporting records, no digital evidence, no grand jury minutes, no nothing.
Just a statement that the case is over, shut up and move along.
What about when Pam Bondi said, I've got on my desk, I'm reviewing the files, and then there is no files, or there are no lists.
The American people are expected now to believe that one of the most notorious and well-connected sexual predators of our time was a lone actor with no clients, no enablers, no co-conspirators.
It's absurd.
It's absurd.
This is not just a failure of due diligence.
It's a coordinated sit-up.
And shut-up.
The DOJ has had forever access to flight logs, financial records, surveillance tapes, seized computers, testimonies from victims and insiders, name it.
Yet it refuses to release that evidence.
Why?
Grand jury materials remain sealed.
Seized hard drives are locked away.
Who has them?
Video footage from Epstein's jail cell is selectively cited but never made public.
And crucial leads, like the list of individuals present at Epstein's properties during key periods, have been completely buried.
Why?
Why?
These aren't the actions of a justice system seeking truth.
These are the actions of a government shielding itself and its allies from scrutiny.
That's precisely what's going on right now.
And why now?
Why this sudden, neatly packaged memo on a Sunday night?
Why?
Through Axios?
The answer is as obvious as it is damning.
It is an election season move.
The timing of this memo was not accidental.
With political states higher than ever, the DOJ has chosen, apparently, to bury one of the most volatile scandals in recent history.
At whose order?
Trump's?
Is it because of the problem he's had with Elon, where Elon threatened to reveal what?
That he had information regarding Trump's involvement on Epstein files?
I don't understand this.
But the strategy is clear.
Contain the fallout, pacify the press, and shut down any further inquiry before it becomes politically catastrophic, no matter what you've promised the American people.
This isn't just about protecting reputations.
It's about preserving the power structures that allowed Epstein to thrive in the first place.
You should feel betrayed.
The public isn't stupid.
We're not idiots.
Americans know when they're being lied to, and we're being lied to.
We could smell a whitewash.
And this memo reeks of institutional self-preservation.
And that's it.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
Cash Patel, how many times has he brought this up?
And Pam Bondi.
The DOJ hasn't only refused to answer critical questions, it refused to even acknowledge them.
So what about the sealed court documents?
Remember them?
The ones listing hundreds of names?
What about the surveillance videos from Epstein's homes?
What about them?
What about the financial ties to Intel agencies and countries and organizations, foreign governments, multinational corporations?
What about the role of Epstein's known collaborators who continue to walk free?
The DOJ doesn't want to talk about any of that anymore.
It wants you to shut up and move along.
It wants you to forget it ever mattered.
This memo isn't an investigative conclusion.
It's a political firewall, a desperate attempt to shut down the most dangerous inquiry in American history before it spirals out of control.
After you were promised you would be told the truth.
And the consequences are devastating.
Survivors are silenced.
Whistleblowers are dismissed.
Investigative journalists are, I guess, well, truly undermined.
And the American public, you and me, we're once again told that the most powerful individuals on earth are beyond the reach of justice.
How do you like that?
The DOJ's defenders will say that legal constraints prevented a full release, that evidence couldn't be made public for procedural reasons or God knows what, that names were withheld to protect ongoing investigation, right?
But this is pure Obstructionist nonsense, cloaked in bureaucratic gobbledygook.
Nothing prevented the DOJ from releasing redacted flight logs, from publishing portions of the grand jury records, from confirming which materials were reviewed and looked at, and how conclusions were reached.
No.
Transparency was always an option.
The DOJ chose secrecy.
Why?
Worse, by issuing this memo without full disclosure, the DOJ has discredited itself entirely.
Yet again, this isn't just about EPSI anymore.
It's about whether the American people, you and me, can trust our own government and President Trump and the DOJ.
And if the DOJ is willing to hide evidence and protect predators, to preserve its political standing or whatever the hell it is, then its legitimacy is finished, it's through, we're done.
The damage to public faith is irreparable.
And it will not be repaired until every document, every file, every name, every piece of evidence is revealed, is released.
You know, there was a time when the Department of Justice stood for something, you know, like justice, when it represented the law, not the elite.
But those days are gone.
Those days are over.
What stands in its place right now is an institution consumed by self-interest, terrified of sunlight and exposure and truth, and determined to protect the ruling class at all costs.
The Epstein cover-up is not just a stain on the DOJ's record.
It is the defining act, the defining act of an institutional cowardice that we haven't ever seen in our time.
Americans, you and I, will not forget this.
The anger is real.
The demand for answers is growing.
And this memo, far from closing the book, has only deepened the outrage, deepened our commitment.
There will be lawsuits, there will be FOIA requests, there will be investigations, real one, not the sanitized version the DOJ tried to pass off.
And every step the DOJ takes to obstruct those efforts will only confirm what millions already believe, that justice in America is reserved for the connected and punishment is for the rest of us, for the little people.
The Department of Justice had a choice.
Uphold the law or protect the corrupt.
And it chose the latter.
And now it must answer for it.
Not with press releases, not with vague memos, with documents, with names, with truth.
The people demand it, and they will not stop until they get it.
If you think I'm exaggerating, if you think I'm just making a big deal out of this, you don't understand the severity of this.
I never thought it would come to this, never.
I can't believe what I am seeing.
