... and why did Biden sit on it for four years? Why didn't he use it to bring Trump down before the election?

Curious.

(yes, I know it was sealed. Release it anyway, come on, don't be silly, US government leaks every single day in spite of court orders)

    Democrats involved as well as Republicans, would be my guess. Maybe pressure from the UK not to Release more about Prince Andrew?

    Same reason they didn't prosecute Nixon. Liberals in congress don't have spines, they are doing similar things to a lesser degree, they believe in the false idea of political decorum, and they don't want to set a precedent. Ultimately they fear taking away power from the executive branch, because if you limit the conservatives then you also limit liberals.

    I'm guessing he knew that anything incriminating against Trump would be written off as a witch hunt. So him releasing it would have been a waste. Now that Trump has refused to release them, if there is anything incriminating, I believe it would be taken much more seriously.

    I'm guessing also he wasn't conscious for the entirety of his presidency, so who knows.

    No its worse. Canada, Europe and a lot of shitty people are involved. You are led to believe this is localized to a few countries. Shit the entire G7 wouldve known about this. Theyre all rich child rapist protection agencies. Steve Harper definitely knew about this shitshow. Thats the real reason why. It would make a lot of countries look like pieces of shits protecting the Epstein class.

    Yes, the files weren't just Trump and Prince Andrew and other celebrities, but a lot of very wealthy people who aren't public figures, international puppeteers.

    It's a lot of filthy rich people, probably the biggest scandal of our lifetime (and its still ongoing coverup)

    How do I know? ... who else could keep this secret for over TWENTY YEARS? This is over Presidential level, this is as big as it gets on Earth.

    So? They'll always say "witch hunt", fuck them. The files would speak for themselves.

    Not a waste at all... in fact, the only waste is not releasing the files. Which he accomplished. Because he was worthless and/or perhaps nodded out and/or deranged.

    Actually yeah this might be right. You reminded me of the prime minister that Virginia Giuffre was too scared to name. The most violent rapist she had to endure. Do we have any idea who that was?

    And larger than that, I think the real reason the cover up is ongoing is that the ring didn't stop after Epstein's death. I believe it's still very much active. Why else would they be continuing to murder the people involved?

    This was brought up way back when. The issue with leaks is there's no way to verify them, and we don't want fake leaks. That would discredit any real release.

    If you have a bunch of leaks mentioning people who couldn't possibly have been involved, it brings into question the validity of any other names mentioned.

    Unfortunately, the problem now is that so much time has passed, that the originals have all been tampered with.

    Yes, it was brought up way back when. They gave a stupid bullshit reason way back then, as is their wont, today they continue to give stupid bullshit reasons; in the future, they will provide, you guessed it, more stupid bullshit reasons.

    You know a good way to verify them?

    Leak it. Then, you can check the leak vs. the files when they are eventually leaked. VIOLA

    In fact, it's the ONLY way to verify them; the verification is provided by the public's investigation, NOT by the FBIs interpretation while sitting on the files. We've proven the government lies, always, countless times.

    And recall, the files were old when Biden had them, no need to sit on them longer.
