The shadow of Jeffrey Epstein continues to loom over the halls of power, as new testimony reveals a shocking lack of curiosity from federal investigators. Both Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahn, and his lawyer, Darren Indyke, have testified that they were never interviewed by the FBI or the DOJ during the height of the sex-trafficking probe. This revelation comes alongside reports of massive document shredding at the Manhattan prison just days after Epstein’s death. The public is left to wonder why those closest to the financier’s web were allowed to operate without scrutiny. While the Birthday Book remains a subject of intense interest, the real scandal is the institutional failure to pursue the truth to its highest reaches. One cannot help but conclude that the system is designed to protect the powerful while leaving the victims without justice. When the ruling class operates with such blatant impunity, the social contract is torn asunder. We demand a full accounting of why these individuals were ignored and what was contained in those shredded bags. Without transparency, the rot will only continue to spread through our institutions, poisoning the faith of the people in the law itself.
