Nobody in 2025 is lying awake at night desperate to know what happened to Earhart, yet here he is, selling it like a major breakthrough while the real files that matter—the Epstein files—stay buried under lock and key. It’s the same old distraction tactic: dangle something shiny and harmless in one hand while hiding the real truth in the other. And the
