In a world where the attention span is as short as a tweet, it’s no surprise that some important issues get swept under the rug while others are put on a pedestal. The latest storm in the media teacup involves the Epstein files, which seem to have resurfaced like a bad penny as Democrats and the mainstream media seize on this topic, all while accusing the President of a lack of transparency. The President has aptly labeled the situation a “hoax,” drawing attention to the hypocrisy of those who claim to demand transparency.
Over the past four years, when Democrats had control of the White House, they seemed to lack any urgency to paint a clear picture when it came to shedding light on Jeffrey Epstein and his unspeakable crimes. Yet, now that it’s politically convenient, they have hopped on the bandwagon, suggesting they care deeply about unveiling the truth. In an ironic twist, it was this President who took the steps to unravel the Epstein files by directing the Department of Justice to conduct a thorough review, helmed by trusted figures like Dan Bongino and Kash Patel.
These patriots have worked tirelessly, wading through the files and producing a conclusive memo. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders appear to be more interested in whipping up a media storm than acknowledging the transparency already demonstrated. While they’re busy grandstanding, the President has been focused on the real issues that matter to Americans, like economic investments and fighting the opioid crisis.
The President’s recent activities demonstrate his commitment to these substantive issues. He went to Pennsylvania, securing a whopping $90 billion in security investments. He’s also been engaged in international diplomacy, meeting with foreign leaders like the King of Bahrain, furthering investments that benefit the nation.
Simultaneously, the President has made strides to address the devastating impact of fentanyl, meeting with grieving parents and signing significant bipartisan legislation. One would think that tackling an issue as critical as the opioid crisis would command prime-time coverage, yet the media seems more fascinated by the resurrected Epstein files than assisting the President in taking meaningful steps to protect American families.
As calls for the files’ release persist, with figures on Capitol Hill gathering signatures and demanding votes, it’s crucial to underline that the legal world moves at a different pace. The Department of Justice and judges have the delicate task of handling sensitive, sealed information, which is best left to the professionals rather than media-hyped speculation. The administration seems to have taken a sensible approach, ensuring any credible evidence is handled appropriately, with due regard for legal processes. This disciplined approach, however, doesn’t appear to make for sensational headline news, and therein lies the rub.
