Journalist Nick Bryant explains why the federal government actively covers up the Jeffrey Epstein case:
"Epstein had cameras in all of his homes. Epstein was definitely a blackmail artist."
"The government wants to make sure that that does not come out. A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail."
"If that dark, malignant corner of the intelligence that is using blackmail against our politicians and other people, if they were using children, that would make the American people erupt."
"For that dark corner of intelligence, this is Omaha Beach. They're not going to give an inch."
"If you look at all the victims and all the perpetrators and all the procurers involved in the Epstein network ... no one's been indicted except for Ghislaine Maxwell."
"That really shows that our government, unfortunately, wants to stop it there."
"Why is our government aiding, abetting child trafficking unless they're protecting some very powerful people and a political process?"
"That's the only way that it makes sense."
