Speaker Johnson calls likely vote on releasing the Epstein files “a moot point,” a phrase that, in this context, really seems to be a carefully chosen way of saying, “Let’s not do that.” It’s almost as if he’s trying to convince everyone that the whole thing is irrelevant, that there’s no need to even bother with a vote, because… well, apparently it doesn’t matter. But why would he say that? Why downplay something that, if truly insignificant, should be a non-issue? The very act of declaring it a “moot point” seems to draw more attention to the matter, not less. It makes you wonder what’s being hidden, and if there’s any fear of what those files contain.

The obvious question, of course, is what’s in those files that makes their release so…unappealing? We know about the accusations, the victims, and the potential names of high-profile individuals. The notion that powerful people might be implicated in this scandal certainly adds fuel to the fire. And the special treatment given to Maxwell in prison, from customized meals to puppy playdates, further fuels suspicions of a cover-up. It’s tough to reconcile that sort of preferential treatment with the gravity of her crimes. This only serves to make the idea of someone trying to stop the release even more suspect.

The fact that Johnson has labeled the vote “moot” doesn’t make sense, especially to those who are determined to see the documents made public. It’s like trying to stop a runaway train with a feather. It’s hard to ignore the sentiment that if it truly didn’t matter, it would be easy to simply allow the process to proceed. Some would even suggest the GOP would be happy to have this information out in the open. But something is preventing it from happening. Maybe there are names of the powerful included in this information, names that could have serious political ramifications.

The idea that the files have been altered or destroyed is a scary thought. If true, it paints a picture of deliberate obstruction of justice and a blatant disregard for accountability. If the files are already destroyed, why not just release what is left? It’s hard to avoid the suspicion that something is being hidden, something that the Speaker and those aligned with him desperately want to keep secret.

The focus on the delays, the maneuvering, and the alleged behind-the-scenes actions certainly suggest something is amiss. Some people speculate that Johnson might be using stalling tactics, attempting to avoid a vote on the release or to release heavily redacted versions. The suggestion that some people are trying to be silenced adds another layer of complexity to the situation. It all boils down to a fundamental lack of transparency. The more that is attempted to be hidden, the more people become suspicious.

One thing is for certain: the continued refusal to release these files, regardless of any claims of “moot points,” will only fuel further speculation. And the longer it drags out, the more damage it will likely inflict on the public’s trust in its leaders. It would be a huge misstep by the GOP, especially if the files contained details on the alleged sexual abuse of children, a crime in which no one should be protected. Johnson is, perhaps, unaware that the more he pushes this, the deeper he digs the hole.
