Ron DeSantis Signs Law to Release Jeffrey Epstein Grand Jury Documents – Twitchy

Americans have been teased before about Jeffrey Epstein documents. Despite huge demands to let the public see the client lists and know who was a part of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s child trafficking crimes and sexual abuse of minors on ‘Epstein Island,’ we have continued to be frustrated as the only ones punished for these crimes have been Epstein and Maxwell. 

And they certainly deserve their punishment, but they are not alone. Anyone who participated is a criminal too. Every once in a while, we get a little hint, like Marsha Blackburn demanding the release of the FULL flight logs, or the recent drop of the ‘Epstein files’ that were very incriminating of former president Bill Clinton (remember, ‘Bill likes ’em young’), but volumes of documents — not to mention the vast majority of clients — continue to be hidden. 

That may change this summer. Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that he has signed HB117 into law, which allows for the public release of grand jury documents, including the 2006 Florida grand jury investigation into Epstein and his child trafficking and prostitution operation.  

Most people think of the Epstein case as a federal issue, but in fact, the initial investigation was initiated by the Palm Beach Police Department. He was arrested by the Palm Beach Police, a Palm Beach grand jury was convened, and Epstein pled guilty to state prostitution charges.

Though he got a ‘sweetheart deal’ for the Florida conviction (negotiated in part by attorney Alan Dershowitz and Ale Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida), and was later charged by the FBI for sex trafficking, the Florida case was still the first, and assumedly all of the grand jury documents from that charge still exist. 

DeSantis explained his reasoning for signing the bill into law earlier today: 

As DeSantis notes, grand jury secrecy laws exist for a reason and this new Florida law will not eliminate those. But HR117 allows for the release of documents under specific circumstances: 

  • The subject of the grand jury inquiry is dead.
  • The investigation was about sexual activity with a minor.
  • The testimony was previously disclosed by a court order.
  • The state attorney is notified.

The grand jury investigation of Epstein meets all of these requirements. 

Obviously, many people on Twitter were skeptical that this law would actually reveal anything significant, and we can understand that reaction with all of the frustration that has occurred in the past. 

But many people were at least cautiously optimistic that more of the truth of Epstein’s sex trafficking network will finally come out.

This is a critical point. Not only are any public officials who were Epstein’s clients criminals by their acts but they are clearly compromised. Permanently. That simply cannot be hidden from the public in a society interested in ‘protecting democracy’ (as Democrats like to say all the time). 

We’re not quite ready for that yet. The law does not take effect until July 1, so we still have some time to wait. And hopefully, there will not be any interference through ‘documents gone missing’ between now and then. 

DeSantis did acknowledge that this is a possibility, but he noted that this law was structured to err on the side of disclosure and that providing just for and protecting the victims, not anyone who might be implicated, was really its sole intent. 

Of course, there is another implication for anyone who could be exposed by the Florida grand jury documents

Yikes. Thanks for that reminder. 

DeSantis today also called for any federal files to be released, but we all know that will never happen in the Biden administration. People — on the right and the left — doubted today whether that would happen even if Trump wins this coming November.

We can’t comment on that hypothetical, but we do feel this Florida law can only be a step in the right direction. And if the information revealed in Florida is indicative of more individuals who need to be charged with crimes, that can only put more pressure on federal officials to release ALL of the files.
