Well, so much for that Trump promise. When Pam Bondi shockingly announced that the Epstein files were a nothing burger, there would be no investigations, and she wouldn’t be releasing any files, the people raged. Trump tried to make it go away. It didn’t. Trump then promised he would have the grand jury statements unsealed.

As always, Trump nonchalantly made it sound like unsealing the indictment was just a routine matter that he was making an executive decision on to follow through with his promises to the people. I guarantee you he knew from day one that indictment would never be unsealed, and that is precisely why he promised it. He was just buying time.

Today a judge announced what we predicted he would announce: the indictment will not be unsealed, ever.

Wait, but why?

That part they don’t tell you. But I can tell you.

Because the indictments level accusations against the sitting president, a former president, and God only knows who else. Releasing them is a matter of national security.

There is also the very real possibility, as we have reported here previously, that Trump was an informant who gave damning statements to the grand jury in exchange for prosecutorial immunity. if that is the case, there is no chance in hades they would ever unseal an indictment that included Trump’s accusations against Epstein for crimes in which Trump was present to observe. No way in hades.

So, forget the indictments. Not that they were actually ever in to begin with. Just another Trump distraction to try to get people to calm down.

I hope people aren’t calming down. I hope this emboldens them even more to rage against this massive cover-up and absolutely demand accountability. It could still happen. If the people keep raging and refrain from doing that one thing they keep doing: forgetting.

Here’s what all of this means: Trump and the DOJ requested the court unseal the grand jury indictment, knowing damn well they were never going to approve it.
