The latest release of Epstein files has prompted a response from former President Bill Clinton, who accused the White House of using him as a scapegoat. Clinton’s statement, released through his press secretary, suggests the timing of the release is an attempt to deflect attention from other issues. The statement emphasizes that Clinton severed ties with Epstein before his crimes came to light, contrasting him with those who maintained relationships afterward. The files, which included photos of Clinton and other public figures, notably did not include any of Donald Trump, prompting scrutiny of Trump’s own connection to Epstein.

Clinton Unloads On Trump’s Plot to ‘Scapegoat’ Him for Epstein.
Let’s be clear, many people on the left don’t view Bill Clinton as some kind of messianic figure. There’s a fundamental difference in how Democrats and Republicans approach the failings of their political heroes. If Clinton did something wrong, the sentiment is, “he should be held accountable, even if that means jail.” The same principle isn’t always applied to Trump. It’s hard to ignore how some MAGA supporters seem to be, at best, apathetic about Trump’s alleged actions involving minors.
Regardless of political leanings, the Epstein scandal should not be reduced to a tool for political mudslinging. The focus should be on the victims and ensuring accountability, not using it as a proxy war between elites. The accusations of Trump’s involvement, including claims he used his properties and the Miss Universe competition to procure girls, are particularly disturbing. Then there are these shady pictures. The photo with the Jackson family, which was taken at a legitimate fundraiser, is being twisted to fit a false narrative. And what about the photo with Clinton in a hotel pool? Regardless of what Clinton is up to, it seems Trump was an accomplice. He really should own up to it and, if guilty, should face the consequences.
The sentiment is clear: If Clinton did wrong, he should face the music. But it’s also acknowledged that Trump, not Clinton, is the one currently in power, potentially obstructing justice. If Clinton really wanted to make a statement, he could simply say “I had sexual relations with that man.” It’s a cynical move to use the Epstein scandal as a political weapon, especially when so many powerful figures across the political spectrum were connected. The question remains: why hasn’t Clinton spoken up about Trump’s involvement? It’s likely his team prepared a counter-strategy, knowing he’d be singled out.
The desired outcome is that everyone involved, on both sides of the political aisle, is brought to justice, and all the Epstein files are released without redaction. If Clinton did anything wrong, he should be held accountable. Some people believe that Trump is even sketchier. The point is, there is no place for protecting pedophiles. It’s frustrating to see the situation being used to manipulate and deflect. Some people are rightly calling out the fact that some of the pictures released by the DOJ were doctored, trying to portray Clinton in a false light.
Clinton knows the truth, and he has the platform to expose it. If he is being scapegoated, the feeling is that he should take everyone down with him. And, he should, and be willing to face prison, too. The consensus is that Trump and Clinton should share a jail cell. Regardless of political alignment, if these men preyed on young girls, they should be in prison. Clinton should be held accountable, but he’s also being scapegoated. The differing opinions between Democrats and Conservatives is that Conservatives are unwilling to hold their own accountable.
It’s undeniable that Clinton’s response underscores the sensitivity of this topic and suggests unresolved questions. His extended association with Epstein does raise serious concerns. If the Democrats want to regain the trust of the people and do some real good, they need to take a hard line on anyone connected to this. The feeling is, the Clintons have been a detriment to the party for a long time. It’s hard to imagine Clinton wasn’t involved in some way with Epstein, given his history.
