My own sense is that most Trump/MAGA diehards who are upset about this don’t actually care all that much if Trump is implicated in Epstein’s wrongdoing. [...] They’re upset that Trump is — in their minds at least — finally in a position to mete out the cleansing retribution against Epstein’s “elite” accomplices (who they’re sure are various Democrats, globalists, etc) that they’ve been hungering for[...]

Presumably the idea is to get Maxwell to exonerate Trump and accuse various globalist/Democrat baddies … but just absolutely still don’t look at the evidence seized from Epstein’s homes.

How does that work?

Nobody talks about the 4 years that Biden/Harris had to release any info. That is what fueled the Republican base with conspiracy theories. Now everyone is putting it on Trump Admin to release files.

I just use my brain to think if DOJ had any solid evidence. They would have went after the leads. Another theory would be nearly every major politician and ultra wealthy are on that list.

Of course I don’t believe a list exists at all. It is all just speculation and no actual list. At least nothing that would mean anything legally.

    Now everyone is putting it on Trump Admin to release files.

    You mean the man who promised his voters he would release the documents, the one who sat there for 4 years bitching about the Dems not releasing, then went on to do the exact same fucking thing?

    The man who has spoken about it for years upon years, untill it was time for him to man up and release the documents, now they don't exist, but they do, but they're fake, but they're there, but they don't exist.

    I agree they should have released them when they got them, but Trump made it his mission to release those and now he knows how much his names over them, he's afraid.

    Exactly what files? The last Admin had 4yrs to disappear those files. Pam Bondi said “The files are on my desk”. Yes, the files that wasn’t disappeared.

    I don't doubt that there's some incriminating stuff in those files. Do I think there's a hard breakdown of charges and evidence in them? No. Because if Epstein was some crackpot who just claimed he had blackmail but actually had nothing, then they would have made it public or started a smear campaign and proved it.

    But I think there are a lot of high profile people that are mentioned or noted in the documents or whatever and the Dems had the brains to go "shut the hell up and everyone will forget about it."

    Trump went around thinking he had an advantage by going "see they're hiding something, I wouldn't do that, I'll release everything!" without thinking through that eventually he would have to reveal everything, and now that chicken is coming home to roost for him and he's looking like a fool.
