    Calling for the release of the Epstein files is a really weird distraction from the Epstein files.

    He wants it out now so it’s old news by the next election.

    Possible bonus of distracting from ICE and Venezuela crimes he’s committing currently since he will probably get away with the Epstein shit.

    Translation: The redactions and alterations to the Epstein files are complete. Betting the estate documents will reveal a big cover-up.

    This is total madness, who dares make excuses for this sicko?! This is exatly why we need stronger rules against pedophiles and better laws, not just 'free speech' nonsense

    Holup

    We should make stronger rules against pedophiles (it’s already illegal), and “better laws not free speech nonsense”?

    No I think it’s just fine the way it is, and you can fuck off with the “we don’t seen free speech it’s bad” horseshit

    He's facing a full on rebellion from the GOP, for the first time. Given his druthers, he'd double down on fighting the release but his advisors have found some way into baby-talking him into this path.

    Sure he didn’t mean release the Epstein ‘philes?
