Let’s be very clear about what happened last night. This was not transparency. This was panic driven by incompetence. And that’s a good thing for you and me. At 11:59 PM, with court deadlines looming and Congress sharpening knives, Trump’s Department of Justice did what authoritarian regimes always do when they’re cornered: They dumped something and hoped it would be enough. They called it DATA SET 8. They told the press it was “compliance” with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They prayed nobody would actually read it. They were wrong.
