A cover-up is much easier when inspector generals are removed and the hierarchy leadership has become Trump cronies.
“The problem isn’t some mistaken redactions and non-redactions. The problem is the administration has decided simply not to release key documents, like the original victim statements and the 60-count draft indictment of Epstein.
We’re in the midst of a coverup.”

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.

Trump is dismantling our government and replacing professionals with unqualified, inexperienced, mediocre cronies. As long as they are Yes-men, Trump does not care about their level of performance. He measures his success by personal gain & self-interest; the USA is just collateral damage to him.
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 ambassadors, all of whom are career diplomats. A union says there has never been such a mass recall in the history of the foreign service. Morale has been plummeting in the State Department all year. Story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u...

If you were hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and hurting children, I don't care WHO you are, or what party you belong to.
If you hurt kids, you don't belong to ANY party except the pedo party.
And you belong in prison for life.

This happens in an authoritarian state with a secret police, and people have no rights. You can be picked up off the street, with no charges or reason, thrown in jail at an undisclosed location, denied due process of law & no access to a lawyer. Essentially, this is not the USA; there is no freedom.

I agree, cover-up is the best word. When Trump is forcibly removed from office or when his term is up, he and his complicit cronies will be prosecuted! Let’s hope so that those convicted will receive unnecessary harsh punishment as an example and a deterrent to future corruption
📌What I wrote one month ago:
"Anybody who thinks Trump is going to allow the release of any Epstein Files that incriminate him is completely delusional and has been in a blissful slumber the past 12 years.
What that is, is a COVER-UP and that’s the ONLY word that should be used going forward."

Trump has a lot to hide, and his dishonest character, with his narcissistic belief that he is above the law, is his justification to instruct his cronies not to disclose any information that’s harmful to him.
Before President Trump relented and signed legislation directing the Justice Department to release its Epstein-related files — some of which became public on Friday — his administration and House Republicans released tens of thousands of documents. Here’s a timeline of those earlier disclosures.

How in any way is Trump anywhere in the same league as Kennedy? Although Kennedy did have his flaws, how can anyone rationalize putting Trump’s name alongside Kennedy's name on the Kennedy Center? It is an insult not only to the Kennedy family but to the nation at large.
Kennedy was a war hero- he fought in WW2, saved fellow sailors which left him with serious injuries. He earned the Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
He served as a Senator and as a beloved President. He was murdered while on duty. He loved the arts and the Kennedy Center was intended to honor him.

I am sure that Trump had instructed his cronies at the DOJ to eradicate any connection between Trump and Epstein with the specific goal that Trump would not be implicated.
Just tried to search for Trump’s name in the Epstein files library on the DOJ’s website. You’ll be *shocked* to learn that there’s no mention of him whatsoever!
