When I was a boy, Friday nights were time for a new episode of The Rockford Files, a show about a hapless ex con PI, played by James Garner, who lived on a boat in a California marina. Fifty years later, Friday nights are for a different kind of files: The Epstein Files. Usually, the government saves Friday evenings for the kinds of things it doesn’t want the news to cover, and the Friday before Christmas is generally a good place to hide. But in the age of the instantaneous news cycle in a world without a Santa Claus, they’re not going to get their holiday wish.
This week’s episode of The Epstein Files involved several intersecting, ongoing plotlines with a common theme. The Democrats are constantly trying to swing and smack the Donald Trump piñata. Instead, they always seem to pin the tail on Bill Clinton.
A massive post-work document dump occurred yesterday during a time when official Washington and most media members are drinking and trying to forget the week that was. The Big Dog was front and center of this week’s most salacious photos. In one, he’s swimming in a pool with Epstein fixer Ghislaine Maxwell and a woman who was either unfortunate to have been born with a black box for a head, or whose identity the government was redacted. In another, a black-box-head woman sits on Clinton’s lap. Less salaciously, Clinton pals around on a private jet with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
What’s in the blacked-out pages?
Also appearing are Mick Jagger, having dinner with Clinton and Maxwell, and the former Prince Andrew, sprawled across the laps of several black-box-headed women. Epstein himself features prominently, of course, in one photo on the phone while examining a cake shaped like a woman’s breasts, and in another wearing a hat in the style of Fidel Castro. And then there’s the photo of Clinton lounging in the hot tub with yet another redacted woman. As always, Clintonworld denies everything, and turned it back on Trumpworld.
‘This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever,’ a Clinton spokesperson, still busy after all these years, said. ‘So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.’
There’s certainly a lot of blacked-out material in this week’s episode. Data set 4 contains 100 pages of material, and the Department of Justice (DoJ) has blacked out every inch of every page. The Epstein Files Transparency Act allows the DoJ to withhold certain information to protect the identities of victims, but 100 completely redacted pages beggars belief in a missing-Watergate-tape-minutes sort of way. California Rep. Ro Khanna, who co-wrote that act with Kentucky’s Thomas Massie, says the DoJ release doesn’t comply with the act at all. ‘Our law requires them to explain redactions,’ he said in a video posted to X. ‘There’s not a single explanation.’ He and Massie will continue to demand the full release of the files.
On X, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted:
Now the cover-up is out in the open. This is far from over. Everyone involved will have to answer for this. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, whole admin. Protecting a bunch of rapists and paedophiles because they have money, power, and connections. Bondi should resign tonight.
Spoiler alert: Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t resign tonight. It’s hard to know exactly what Democrats are expecting in these redacted pages. They seem to have some sort of secret knowledge that they contain detailed descriptions and photos of Donald Trump having sex with children, animals, aliens, or perhaps all three at once. It would be the equivalent of a Lexus in the driveway with a bow on it for Christmas for them. But instead, they’re just going to get some new socks, a sweater from Nana, and more 25-year-old photos of Bill Clinton swimming with a lady. President Trump is going to disappoint them. He always does.
But we don’t know for sure. What’s in the blacked-out pages? Is the president history’s greatest sex criminal? Did Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson do the Harlem Shuffle with a drag queen at Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday party? Did Bill Clinton snog a big-haired woman? Tune in next Friday night for another episode of The Epstein Files.
