Transparent Epstein Files

Here's a tidbit of news regarding the Epstein files:

Trump ordered to release full Epstein files by August 15 under rarely used Senate law

I presume that is news, not fake news or satire, but it punctuates something that came to me the other day. No matter how much J.D. Vance and others assure us of the transparency of the Trump administration, every day that goes by that these files remain secret is another day that the coverup continues. That's 6 months and counting for this Trump administration.

Now Democrat senators are demanding the release? Recently I commented that Democrats wouldn't be the ones demanding their release so what gives?

Trump folks have hinted that the files were tampered with during previous administrations.

I fully suspect that this is true.

I also suspect that the Democrats know about it and are insisting that the files be released before Trump's DOJ and FBI have time to figure it out.

But that's just my intuition speaking. The truth may be something else. Maybe, once Trump's DOJ got hold of the files it just turned out that wealthy Republicans are more inclined to fall into honey traps than are Democrats.

But anyway, so much for the illusion of transparency.
