The swamp just got a little more nervous when President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act this week, forcing the Department of Justice to put previously hidden records on the table. Conservatives who have long demanded accountability cheered a rare bipartisan push that finally moved Congress to act after months of foot-dragging and theatrics from the political class.
On cable, Greg Gutfeld nailed what every patriotic American suspected: this story isn’t about partisan theater, it’s about who in Washington would or would not “play ball” with the old boys’ network. Gutfeld’s blunt point — that Trump was the one who didn’t play along with the elite club — landed like a truth bomb because it cuts to the heart of why the establishment despises him.
Washington’s usual defenders immediately started whispering about redactions and “ongoing investigations,” hoping to blunt public appetite for real transparency. Those excuses are exactly why Americans distrust career prosecutors and the Deep State: legalese becomes cover for protecting powerful friends. Senior reporters and legal insiders are openly warning that the release could be watered down — and they should be watched like hawks.
Let’s be honest: this whole Epstein affair smells of the same rotten protection racket that shields elites while victims are silenced. Progressives and media elites spent years weaponizing this story until the tide turned: now the people want the files, not press releases or partisan posturing. If journalists truly care about victims instead of political theater, they’ll demand the full, unredacted truth and stop manufacturing distractions.
For patriots who’ve watched our institutions get hollowed out, the symbolism here matters. Trump’s move to sign the bill — despite predictable howls from the coastal elites — is a reminder that upsetting the club is the only way to pry open the closets where corruption festers. The law’s passage did not fix everything overnight, but it forced the elites’ hand and gave the public a fighting chance to see what they’ve been hiding.
Now comes the hard part: real conservatives must keep the pressure on until those documents are searchable, unredacted, and paired with actual accountability. Don’t fall for the bipartisan kabuki of photo-ops and half-measures; demand prosecutions where crimes are proven and glory the whistleblowers who stood up while others covered their friends. The American people deserve nothing less than the whole truth, and patriots should not rest until Washington pays the price for protecting predators.
