If you watched Greg Kelly on Newsmax this week, you saw a man who refused to let the left’s narrative eat the country alive. Kelly ran through the Epstein documents and warned Americans that too many in the media are ready to convict by association, not evidence, and defended public figures like Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick who he says are being smeared by selective leaks. That blunt take — that the public doesn’t yet know the full context and that innocent reputations are at stake — struck a nerve with millions watching.
The Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has publicly demanded the full files after claiming she was only given a sliver of what the FBI actually holds, saying a New York field office has been sitting on thousands of pages that should have been produced. Conservatives smelled a cover-up and rightly demanded answers: if the bureau was withholding material from the Justice Department, the American people deserve to know why. Bondi’s letter ordering the release and an investigation into the missing documents made it clear this is about transparency and accountability, not partisan theater.
Even the Department of Justice has moved cautiously: after a January release that drew immediate criticism for inadvertent disclosures, the DOJ temporarily removed thousands of documents to re-redact victims’ information and get the process right. That takedown — which reportedly affected roughly 9,500 files released under the transparency push — shows the practical difficulty of balancing victim privacy with the public’s right to know. Conservatives should welcome careful redaction while insisting the removal not become an excuse for secrecy.
At the same time, an Associated Press review of internal records found that while Epstein was credibly accused of abusing underage girls, investigators did not uncover federal proof that he operated a sex-trafficking ring supplying powerful men or that a tidy “client list” existed. Those findings cut both ways: they reinforce why law enforcement can’t rush to indict names and why political opportunists shouldn’t weaponize half-documents to destroy lives. Americans deserve full files released in a responsible way so facts, not rumor, drive public judgment.
This episode exposes the rot of selective leaks and the dangerous habit of guilt-by-publicity that the left and legacy media use to silence opponents. Conservatives should demand two things simultaneously: ruthless transparency from every agency and fairness for anyone whose name is tossed into the mud without corroborating evidence. Greg Kelly is right to push back — real patriots defend victims, but they also defend due process and the presumption of innocence until a full, unredacted accounting is produced.
