Even fringy online media such as Huffington Post, as well as has-been online media such as Salon, are afraid to touch the Epstein document dump. Their main excuse is that the documents were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/11\/13\/us\/politics\/republicans-epstein-trump-house.html?smid=url-share\">&#8220;largely&#8221; already publicly available<\/a>. When they do write about it, they prefer to make it a story about Democrats vs. Republicans in Congress, rather than what we know (and don&#8217;t yet know) about Trump&#8217;s involvement with Epstein because of a <em>completely obvious<\/em> government coverup.<\/p>\n<p>The best place I&#8217;ve discovered so far where people are actually doing real sleuthing is in a Reddit forum, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Epstein\/\">https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Epstein\/<\/a>. Some of the posts there will turn your stomach. I&#8217;ve appended an image of one such document below. The media&#8217;s excuse for ignoring the Tiffany Doe deposition is that it&#8217;s not new. But of course the media also ignored it several years ago when it <em>was<\/em> new. In the deposition Tiffany Doe says she witnessed Trump raping a 13-year-old and threatening to kill her family if she ever told anyone. Old news! Still nothing to see here! As usual, Trump managed to keep it out of court.<\/p>\n<p>If I correctly understand the muddy pieces in the media, the recent document dump by a House committee is just a small sample of what the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department have on Epstein. <\/p>\n<p>This is one of those times when it is very useful to see what is being said in foreign publications with anti-American agendas. With a completely corrupted U.S. government, and with an American media that is increasingly corrupted and increasingly timid, a huge amount of power both inside of government and outside of government is trying to keep Americans in the dark. Here&#8217;s a straightforward piece in Al Jazeera: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2025\/11\/14\/trump-congress-and-the-epstein-files-what-happens-next\">Trump, Congress, and the Epstein files: What happens next?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that Russia Today, though, is working as hard to ignore the Epstein files as the American media are. There are many mentions of Russia and Russians in the Epstein files, so corrupt elements in Russia and corrupt elements in the U.S. are well aligned on this. The Russia Today story that totally tracks the U.S. coverage is here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/627714-new-epstein-email-trump\/\">Newly released Epstein email claims Trump \u2018knew about the girls\u2019<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It seems pretty apparent that, since Trump and his minions are so desperate to prevent any more disclosures, that they know how damning it will be. I keep wondering and wondering: When will the Republican Party, now that Trump has become so weak and is such a lame duck, come to its senses and cut Trump loose?<\/p>\n<p>If and when Trump is destroyed &#8212; as seems very possible with the Epstein files &#8212; then throwing Trump under the bus would be the first priority of trying to save the Republican Party. But then, if they had any sense, they wouldn&#8217;t be Republicans. They&#8217;re still acting as though it&#8217;s impossible to remove them from power and bring them to justice. Though maybe, just maybe, some of them realize that the Epstein documents could bring them down and deliver a setback to American fascism that would last for a hundred years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"837\" height=\"1394\" src=\"https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/deposition.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/deposition.jpg 837w, https:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/deposition-768x1279.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>The above is an image of a part of the document dump.
