The Epstein Files

[Akka]

I'm still amazed that there was a whole ridiculous circus and an impeachment trial for Clinton having an extramarital affair, but Trump being involved in raping underaged sex slaves has been happily ignored for now.
I'm somewhat hopeful that it will bring such a baggage, Trump will FINALLY lose its blind support and end up on the receiving end of something actually meaningful, but even then it's still far too little and mainly far too late. Half of the Congressmen deserve to be hanged for treason here.

There is that, but technically it was for lying not the actual cigar thing.

The comparison I think is really telling is Jimmy Carter's dad's Peanut Farm. He may not have actually given it up, but he transferred to a trust and sold it later. Compare that to Trump and it is just a joke.

Well, at least Trump has never lied!

I've been trying to play this whole thing forward in my head. It feels as though there are two choices: not actually release anything (the whole file is needed for our ongoing investigation) or release some portions but with Trump's name blacked out of those portions.

But they have to be pretty anxious about that second option, because of the recent release from the Epstein estate itself. So they release some pages that have Trump's name on them, but with it blacked out. Then the Epstein estate releases that same document but with Trump's name appearing. Now it's evident that they redacted so as to protect Trump.

Ok, so the best move is just to claim "the files are all so interinvolved, that, given our ongoing investigation, we can't release any of them, lest the one we release turn out to later be connected to the investigation and we spoil that investigation by having released that document." But then it looks like a cover-up and a failure to comply with the bill, that Trump himself signed.

So I think this is not just all swept under the rug yet.
