But You Can’t Hide

THE BERNHARD PERSPECTIVE

According to new reporting from journalist David Schuster, more than 100 GOP lawmakers are now leaning towards voting with Democrats in forcing the release of the Epstein files. Schuster suggests that they’re not doing this out of principle. They’re doing it to get in front of what’s coming.

Multiple sources report that senior DOJ officials have privately informed Republican lawmakers that the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files are even worse for Donald T**** than anyone imagined.

Nor is this just about T****. It is about the rot of immorality that lets billionaires, politicians, and predators operate above the law while the survivors of their depravity are silenced or dismissed. It’s about a justice system that protects proximity to power instead of the victims of it.

It is also clear that if the DOJ truly believes these files contain evidence of criminal behaviort, then keeping them sealed is not justice. It’s complicity.

Speaker Johnson is caught in an unbelievably tight bind. He has been told by his Lord and Master that he is not to allow the files be made public. Yet he knows that when (or if) he re-convenes the House, one way or another there will be a Congressional subpoena demanding that the files be released. 

Johnson knows he can’t hold out indefinitely. The House is scheduled to re-convene on November 10, the jig will be up. When the subpoena comes it will put Donald T**** into that unbelievably tight squeeze. He knows what is in those files; the thought of their release must terrify him. And rightly so.

Then there is this: will T**** defy a Congressional subpoena? Defying a congressional subpoena is considered an impeachable offense when done, as it will be inn this case, in the context of obstructing a congressional investigation. But there is precedent, this was the basis for one of the articles of impeachment against President Donald T**** in 2019.

The fact of the matter is that the truth is coming, one way or another. And when it does, Americans will have to decide whether or not they are prepared to put up with this terrible waste of human flesh any longer.
