That’s not what I took away from this at all. I think he’s saying the Epstein files shouldn’t have had to have been released because we should have been able to trust those in power to prosecute anyone for whom there’s evidence of a crime, however there’s been a lack of trust for many years now that has grown more acute since Pam Bondi took over. Despite the headline, I think this editorial is directed more at the functioning of the Dept of Justice and federal law enforcement rather than at the Epstein files directly. The headline sure grabbed your attention though, huh? (Also fuck the NYT)
