When Epstein allegedly hung himself in his prison cell — despite being the most obvious suicide/homicide risk in world history — while the cameras in the cell block magically stopped working, anyone with eyes to see could see the writing on the wall.
Very powerful interests with powerful incentives to snuff out Epstein achieved what would be otherwise seemingly the impossible stuff of a “Mission: Impossible” spy film.

Back in September of last year, Trump made a wishy-washy pledge to release the Epstein files, which his fans who follow this stuff took as a firm campaign promise.
Presumably, this promise was at least one reason why people voted for him.
Via The Telegraph, September 2024 (emphasis added):
Donald Trump has said he would have “no problem” releasing more files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein if he returns to the White House.
Asked why a so-called “list of clients” who had visited Epstein’s private island had not yet been made public, Trump said it “probably will be”.
Scores of names associated with Epstein were made public this year when a tranche of court documents were unsealed by a judge in New York.
Public figures including Prince Andrew, former US President Bill Clinton and Trump himself were among those named in the files released in January…
Asked by computer scientist turned podcaster Lex Fridman why he had “hesitation” about the documents being released, Trump, 78, said: “I don’t think… I’m not involved. I never went to his island, fortunately, but a lot of people did.”
Pressed on why “so many smart, powerful people allowed him [Epstein] to get so close?”, Trump replied: “He was a good salesman*. He was a hailing, hearty type of guy.
“He had some nice assets that he’d throw around like islands, but a lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately, I was not one of them.”
*“Good salesman” is code for “talented child sex trafficker and blackmail artist.”

Promises made, promises kept?
Not really — not yet.
The melodrama over the Epstein files has dragged on for many weeks, with the House Oversight Committee commissioning an unnecessary “task force” for “reviewing the Epstein client list” — a head-scratcher when the Trump administration could simply release all Epstein information in the possession of the federal government into the public domain and skip the bureaucratic charade.

Various members of Congress and the head of that “task force,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), appear to be losing patience, and rightfully so.
Via The Hill (emphasis added):
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) urged FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the details of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s flight log for his private jet and helicopter in a Monday letter addressed to both officials.
“The American people deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. As you know, over the course of many years, Jeffrey Epstein built a heinous global sex trafficking network that caused irreparable harm to countless women,” she added.…
“This critical information identifying every individual who could have participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s abhorrent conduct is long overdue. The survivors of Mr. Epstein’s horrific crimes want transparency and accountability, and they—and the American people—deserve nothing less,” the Tennessee lawmaker stated.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) similarly requested the release of the Epstein files…
Later, she questioned Bondi on why files hadn’t already been released following a letter from the House Oversight Committee.
“On Feb 11 & Feb 19, house oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK etc. The DOJ has not responded. Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG,” Luna wrote.

What’s going on?
This is not the “radical transparency” the administration promised.
