"I think it'll actually be a really good thing if this whole network and constellation of powerful men who are part of this in varying degrees some of them not criminal, some of them just creepy, some of them just really bad judgment I think if all of those figures, regardless of what their politics are are swept away and pushed into retirement and sent off to live out the last of their days in some kind of shame,"
"that would not necessarily be a bad thing. And I would say it's not necessarily a bad thing, like, especially for the Democratic Party. You need this renewal. You need new figures who are untouched, who are never part of these awful power games and networks that they used to play."
The release of additional Epstein files could implicate and displace numerous prominent Washington figures from both major parties. A broad purge could remove a constellation of powerful men with varying degrees of involvement—some not criminal, some morally compromised, and some guilty of poor judgment—resulting in retirement and public shame for many. Such an outcome could produce political renewal by clearing space for new, untainted leaders. The Democratic Party in particular could benefit from fresh figures unconnected to past exploitative power networks, enabling restored public trust and reshaped leadership dynamics.
