Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s BBC interview in Berlin accusing the Justice Department of a “cover-up” over the Jeffrey Epstein files ought to set off alarm bells for anyone who cares about equal justice. She insisted the administration is “slow-walking” the release of records and demanded transparency, but the timing and the theater around these claims deserve scrutiny from every angle.
Clinton told the BBC “Get the files out. They are slow-walking it,” and insisted she and her husband have “no links” to Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, while urging the full, unredacted release of documents. The Department of Justice has already released a massive cache of material this month, even as officials say some pages remain withheld for legitimate investigative and privacy reasons — a complicated reality that the public deserves to see explained, not spun.
Both Hillary and Bill Clinton have agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee later this month, with depositions reportedly scheduled for February 26 and 27, and the Clintons pushing for public testimony rather than closed-door sessions. That demand for daylight is convenient and politically useful, but it does not erase the hard questions about past associations and why so many names remain redacted.
It’s an inconvenient fact that Bill Clinton’s name appears repeatedly in the material already released — flight logs and photographs document interactions that the public has a right to understand fully. When former senior officials and powerful families are involved, transparency isn’t an optional nicety; it’s a necessity if we’re to trust our institutions and ensure no one is above the law.
Clinton has also accused congressional Republicans of turning the Epstein files into a “shiny object” meant to distract, but the reflexive defense and theatrical outrage look less like demands for truth and more like political gaslighting. Conservatives who want genuine accountability should welcome a full, public accounting of what the documents contain — without the selective outrage, spin, or double standards.
The takeaway is simple: transparency must be total, impartial, and immediate. Americans deserve answers, not partisan theater, and every name in those files should face the same scrutiny regardless of fame or political affiliation; anything less is a betrayal of justice and of the victims who deserve the truth.
