The call for an investigation is an obvious ploy to avoid releasing the files. 

Simply release all the files, and expose the people who had both deep and ongoing relationships with Epstein.

Shit.

Pam Bondi has radicalized Reid Hoffman.

Image the hours of training they all went through to pull off that optics extravaganza; mostly for a big nothing burger. What a waste of resources.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

The Justice Department Will Investigate Epstein Ties. Just Not to Trump.

“Equally remarkable was how quickly Attorney General Pam Bondi acquiesced to his demand, even though four months ago the Justice Department formally declared that nothing in the Epstein files warranted further investigation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

Did Trump's Epstein Fears Trigger HISTORIC Shutdown?
YouTube video by Democracy Docket Did Trump's Epstein Fears Trigger HISTORIC Shutdown?

What if the entire government shutdown was actually about concealing the Epstein Files? Now that we see it, we are left to ask: What other ways have these Files been driving the president’s actions? youtu.be/iVJ21BDzJJs?...

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

Trump, directing AG Bondi to investigate other powerful people (men) in the Epstein Files is nothing more than a slick way to stonewall the release of Epstein files, no matter how Congress votes. He will claim it's now an ongoing investigation and therefore no release of the files.

Solid reason as to why Biden's DoJ didn't release Epstein file info. When Trump took office, that ongoing FBI investigation was immediately shuttered.

It's the only way many Republican members of Congress can unshackle their self-imposed chains, and escape from Trump with less visible stains on their legacy.

More self-dealing within the Trump administration, using taxpayer $$ to fund DHS media imaging. It's all about the optics.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
