What Will the Epstein Files Really Show?

The Epstein files are finally getting some attention. But will the public get the full story? A former U. S. Attorney, John P. Fishwick Jr. , thinks not. He believes the Department of Justice (DOJ) will only release a small part of the files. This is because the law allows them to keep some information secret if it could interfere with ongoing investigations. The whole process started when members of Congress pushed for the files to be released. President Trump signed the bill into law, giving the DOJ 30 days to release the files. But Fishwick doesn't think all the files will be made public. He expects only some of them to be released. Attorney General Pam Bondi has said she will follow the law. But the law has a loophole. It allows the DOJ to withhold information that could affect ongoing investigations or prosecutions. Fishwick finds this unfortunate. He believes the public is ready to see all the information. The files could also be edited to protect the identities of victims. This raises questions about transparency. Why didn't the DOJ take action on the files in the first place? Fishwick says the DOJ was at a "dead end" with the files. They didn't find any criminal conduct worth investigating. But the House Oversight Committee has been pushing for the files to be released. Fishwick hopes they will continue to push for full transparency. The public deserves to know the truth. But will they get it?
