Our chance to take down the Epstein class
9 hours ago
- The Epstein Transparency Act II was introduced on September 1, 2026, giving members of Congress 48 hours to sign before Speaker Mike Johnson recessed the House.
- The bill aims to expose and prosecute Epstein conspirators by granting state officials, victims, and law enforcement access to records, releasing classified information, and expediting lawsuits.
- The timeline shows that as of September 7, 2026, many members have not signed, which critics argue indicates protection of Epstein clients.
- The article lists members who have signed (supporting the bill) and those who have not, implying a moral divide between supporting justice and protecting conspirators.
- Key provisions include allowing state officials to sue the federal government, victims obtaining their records, state law enforcement access, unredacted congressional access, and expedited legal proceedings.
- The author suggests that Donald Trump's ties to Epstein and his influence over Republicans hinder the bill's passage, with Mike Johnson being accused of shielding conspirators.
- The bill is framed as a clear choice: support prosecuting Epstein conspirators or protect them, with no middle ground.
- The article emphasizes that the 48-hour window was a critical time to combat human trafficking and pedophilia, but many chose not to act.
