Imagine the courage it took to stand on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and let the world know you had been raped as a child. To get the courage and face members of Congress and a President that don’t want America to hear you, yet they shared their stories anyway. His victims bonded together and demanded the Epstein files be released.
The Trump Administration is full of people that have made the same demand, from Attorney General Pam Bondi to the Director of the FBI Kash Patel, they said it time and time again. Until they were the ones that had the files.
It worked during the campaign. They were able to make America think they were the ones that cared and would do something for the Epstein survivors. The problem is, once they won, they quit caring. They won’t release the files and everyone is now asking questions, including people from both sides of the aisle.
There are people that have the power to do something about it. They can subpoena, hold hearings, or pass veto-proof legislation. Or maybe they could call an early recess and hope America forgets by the time they come back. The problem now is that America didn’t forget.
And if they ever did, those women on the steps will remind them.
Release the files.
