Brownsville folks are talking about President Trump's handling of the Epstein scandal, many saying it feels like being promised filet mignon and getting hamburger instead as Trump promised a full release of the Epstein Files during the 2024 campaign and now is backing off.

Non-MAGA Brownsvillians still remember Trump’s old ties to Jeffrey Epstein and how, in the past, he called Epstein “a terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” So when Trump supporters and others pushed for the release of files related to Epstein’s crimes, they expected the full truth: names, connections, maybe even accountability. Instead, what they're getting is a mess involving Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person actually convicted in the whole scheme.

Trump’s decision to trot out Maxwell is recognized, even by third graders at Sharp Elementary as a mere DISTRACTION, Trump's notorious default position on anything substantive.  Anyway, she’s confined in a Texas facility now, some say a slight upgrade, more comfy accommodations than federal prison and opinion polls show that a pardon or sentence reduction is not popular, not to mention immunity.  Sex offenders are not very popular unless they're President.

It seems there wasn't much effort put into gleaning info from Maxwell's testimony as only two witnesses testified to the grand jury, an FBI agent and a NYPD detective.  Now, Trump feigns transparency by offering to release the heavily redacted transcript of Maxwell's recent interview.  Again; hamburger, not filet mignon.
