The Jeffrey Epstein files, if and when released, will expose Epstein, detailing his prolific atrocities once and for all.
They will expose the monstrous human beings who collaborated with him in doing irreparable harm to untold numbers of girls and young women.
They will expose a sprawling network of perverts and deviants who used their collective influence and wealth to violate humanity in ways that are unthinkable to decent human beings.
But until that day comes, the Epstein files have already exposed so much more.
They have exposed Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has spent recent months bastardizing her position over the legal system of this country in order to prevent their release, knowing full well that Donald Trump’s name is all over them.
The Epstein files have already exposed Speaker Mike Johnson, who has wielded his Congressional influence to obstruct a vote on their release, proving his Christianity is nothing but fraudulent performance art.
They have exposed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has manufactured an irresponsible, racist, and unprecedentedly dangerous attack on President Obama to distract from her cult leader’s criminality.
They have exposed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who stands before the nation each day, a cross dangling from her neck as she lies and gaslights the American people on behalf of a serial predator.
They have exposed this Republican Party, a vile and morally inverted cadre of broken humans who are largely marching and voting lock-step to protect predators and pedophiles and laugh in the face of their survivors.
The Epstein files have exposed the moral bankruptcy of the Conservative Christian Church, whose religious convictions have all suddenly evaporated when given the choice between exposing rapists or ensuring themselves more future Supreme Court seats.
They have exposed supposed religious leaders like Franklin Graham, who continue to fight hollow, empty culture wars against the LGBTQ community while staying tethered to a man whose resume of moral filth is sprawling.
They have exposed mainstream media, who, by-and-large, continue to bend the knee and don kid gloves when it comes to the most lawless sitting president in our history.
And perhaps most infuriating and heartbreaking of all, the Epstein files have exposed tens of millions of Americans; dads, mothers, grandmothers, uncles, teachers, pastors, soccer coaches, business owners, and neighbors, who have continued to move the goalpost for what they deem morally allowable, when it comes to the vile, ignorant, spray-tanned object of their cultic fervor.
Once again, people we know and love and live alongside turn their heads, revert to whataboutism, retreat into silence, bunker down into tribalism, discard their faith, and abdicate the most elemental responsibilities of being human.
Our friends, family members, church friends, coworkers, neighbors, and social media acquaintances have so lost the plot of humanity that, because of some cocktail of misogyny, political tribalism, self-preservation, or simple cruelty, they are siding with sexual criminals rather than their survivors—and we’ll never be able to un-learn this.
Hopefully, the Epstein files will be released so that every sick and violent predator will be made accountable, having their long-concealed darkness revealed.
But even if that never happens, they have already revealed so much about the leaders and voters and occupants of this nation, and that damage simply cannot be fathomed.
