Epstein files release finally happened after months of delays and excuses. You’re reading documents that blur perpetrators’ names and faces while leaving victims fully exposed. The Department of Justice released files in January showing exactly who the system protects. Not the people who suffered. The people accused of crimes got redacted. The people who experienced those crimes got their names and pictures published to the world without protection.

Radke traces the pattern from 2005 arrest to lenient plea deal to 2019 death in custody. Epstein File Transparency Act passed in November requiring full release by December 19th. Stalling. Excuses. Late January partial dump with backwards redaction logic. Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, Dan Bovino spent years energizing supporters with promises about exposing the guilty. They got placed in Department of Justice roles. Immediately backed off. Started calling it a nothing burger. Files show why. Hundreds, maybe thousands of mentions of right-wing figures. QAnon community spent a decade believing in the storm, the moment Trump would prosecute everyone. That storm never arrived. The people they saw as heroes abandoned them.

When justice systems appear rigged to protect the powerful while exposing victims, people stop using conventional channels. Radke warns what happens when courts and media lose credibility. People turn to unconventional means. Sometimes those means include violence.
