Wednesday’s spectacle on the Hill should have been a turning point for justice, but instead it felt like déjà vu — another partisan theater where answers were deliberately obscured. Carl Higbie, speaking plainly for millions of Americans who refuse to be placated by redactions and stonewalling, called out the Department of Justice and demanded accountability for what looks more and more like either a cover-up or catastrophic incompetence.
Rep. Thomas Massie forced the issue by holding up dozens of FBI 302 interview forms that were completely blacked out, and Higbie rightly asked the tough question: why are entire witness interviews hidden from the public? The sight of hundreds of fully redacted 302s is not a scandal you bury with spin — it’s the kind of obstruction that makes people believe the system protects powerful people, not victims.
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s combative performance didn’t inspire confidence; rather than producing a roadmap to prosecutions she deflected, insulted lawmakers, and waved the stock market like a distraction. Her hostility during questioning and refusal to answer whether co-conspirators are under investigation only deepened the worry that the DOJ is protecting names instead of pursuing justice for victims. Americans deserve answers, not theatrical grandstanding.
Higbie’s blunt demand that “somebody go to jail” if this is a cover-up captures the righteous fury many conservatives feel: if careers and lives have been destroyed by traffickers and enablers, then the institutions tasked with stopping them must stop hiding behind paperwork. He also pointed an accusatory finger at past administrations for failing victims — a reminder that this isn’t a new problem but one that successive leaders allowed to fester.
The documents that have trickled out are massive and messy, and reporters have noted the presence of high-profile names in the files — not proof of guilt, but breadcrumbs that merit real, unredacted investigation rather than permanent secrecy. As Kaelan Deese and others have said, these files should be a starting point for interviews and prosecutions, not the end of the story; any DOJ that shirks that duty is failing the American people and the victims who deserve closure.
Conservatives who believe in the rule of law should be the loudest voices demanding full transparency and swift action: no more redactions that read like cover-ups, no more agencies protecting reputations over victims, and no more hollow reassurances from officials who refuse to be specific. If leaders won’t produce the truth, patriotic Americans must keep pressing until those responsible for protecting predators are held to account and the system once again serves the people, not the powerful.
