I don't think they would have been called the Epstein files though. It probably would have been called the Franklin files. All of this stuff seems like Ben Franklin's jam.

No I don't think Ben Franklin would have done it for espionage or spying purposes I think he would have just done it for the love of the game.

    I agree, Ben probably would have indulged and not cared about using it to his advantage.

    Hamilton and Jefferson were absolutely cold blooded in their political pursuits and use of published letters. They would have used any opportunity to cut the other down. Maybe mutually assured destruction would have stayed their hands on that particular indulgence, though Hamilton did famously out his own affair to clear himself of the embezzlement allegation.
