Maybe Trump Did Assist Rogue FBI Agents, But Those Agents Should Be in Jail Too

Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent attempt to portray President Trump as an “FBI informant” in the Epstein saga was meant to recast weakness as strength.
The logic was simple: if Trump helped the Bureau, then he cannot be guilty. But this rhetorical maneuver collapses under scrutiny.
If Trump truly “assisted” federal agents while Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking empire operated in plain sight, then the problem is not exoneration. The problem is conspiracy.
Any FBI personnel who tolerated, enabled, or weaponized that network as part of some informant game should be facing prison alongside Trump himself.
The Reddington-style myth that Johnson floated only highlights the deeper scandal. In The Blacklist, the government leverages a master criminal because his insight provides tactical advantage.
But in that fictional story, the criminal is not a child predator. In reality, Epstein’s network was built on the systematic rape of minors and the blackmail of those who joined him.
If federal agents knew this, and still opted to treat Trump—or anyone else—as an “asset” rather than shutting down the operation, then those agents crossed from investigators into accomplices.
This is not a theoretical concern. Law enforcement history is replete with cases where “rogue task forces” protected informants who continued committing crimes. When the underlying offense is drugs or guns, the ethical lapse is serious.
But when the offense is sexual slavery of children, it is unforgivable. Johnson’s gambit inadvertently raises the most damning question of all: what exactly was the FBI doing while Epstein operated his blackmail ring?
From the perspective of regime security, the answer is grim. Institutions protect themselves first.
If Bureau officials believed that Epstein’s kompromat was useful leverage, they may have chosen to preserve his operation as an intelligence asset rather than dismantle it. That is not law enforcement—it is systemic corruption. It mirrors the very logic of autocratic security services, which tolerate atrocity when it strengthens regime control.
And so the conclusion is unavoidable. If Trump truly acted as an “informant,” it does not absolve him.
It indicts the entire system that managed him. Any FBI agent who facilitated, protected, or leveraged Epstein’s crimes should face the same bars of justice as the men they enabled.
This is not myth or fiction. This is the hard logic of accountability in a republic that cannot afford to look away.
