"If Trump has nothing to hide, he should honor his campaign promise and immediately release the Epstein files. Any other outcome raises the reasonable inference that Trump and his Republican enablers are concealing Trump's involvement in Epstein’s horrific crimes.
We must not relent on this issue. An overwhelming majority of the American people support full disclosure—and believe that the government is concealing evidence relating to Epstein."
"MAGA is not going to let it go. The Epstein files is like herpes. It's going to stay with them forever, right? No matter how much he tries to punt and distract, and he will, and as he punts and he distracts and he becomes more and more authoritarian."

"The Maxwell prison transfer – outrageous as it is – is just another element of the many-ringed circus act that is American politics these days. ...
Her transfer is more than special treatment; it smacks of a struck deal – a transaction that is deeply unfair, a slap in the face to the many victims of her and Epstein’s exploitation."
