Americans are watching a familiar Washington two-step: Democrats scream about “Epstein transparency” while newly released estate documents show their own political circles quietly reached out to Jeffrey Epstein years after his conviction. The latest tranche of files that made their way to Congress exposes an uncomfortable pattern of outreach and proximity that the mainstream media would rather ignore when it embarrasses the left.
One email, sent in 2013 by a fundraising firm, touts then-new Congressman Hakeem Jeffries to Epstein by name and even pitches him for a DCCC/DSCC fundraising dinner with President Obama — language that literally calls Jeffries “Brooklyn’s Barack.” That message came years after Epstein’s Florida conviction and begs the question: why was Epstein being invited into Democratic fundraising circles at all?
Jeffries has insisted he never met Epstein and says he has no recollection of the solicitation, which is convenient but not the point; the paper trail alone shows how close Epstein was allowed to circle power. Whether or not a donation changed hands, the optics are devastating when the same politicians now posture about moral outrage and demand full disclosure only when it suits them.
At the same time, the released documents show Delegate Stacey Plaskett exchanging texts with Epstein and even taking tips on how to question witnesses — messages that, on their face, show a level of access and familiarity the public should find disturbing. Plaskett says Epstein was a constituent and claims she was simply trying to gather information, but conservatives are right to ask why a sitting member of Congress was texting a registered sex offender and defending his involvement in political theater.
House Oversight Republicans are rightly pointing out the double standard: Democrats selectively leak redacted files to embarrass President Trump while downplaying their own entanglements and relationships with Epstein-connected figures. If Washington wants credibility on this issue, it has to apply the same standard to all parties and individuals, not weaponize abuse survivors’ stories for raw political gain.
Hardworking Americans deserve full, unvarnished answers — not theater, not selective outrage, and certainly not convenient amnesia from the party that claims the high moral ground. Call it what it is: corruption by proximity and a media-protected narrative that lets Democrats shrug and deflect while demanding blood from others. It’s time for transparency, accountability, and equal treatment under the law.
