Trump was simply soliciting bribes with the Epstein files noise

Its his MO. Its what he is doing with tariffs, colleges, law firms, media, etc...

He told DOJ to dangle the Epstein files out there and make public statements knowing the people who are on the list would then offer him big bucks to order it to not be released.

He got his bribes and now he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

I don't think there is another plausible theory.

Congress needs to get to the bottom of this.

Like didn't anticipate the firestorm when she said she had 'the list on her desk' awhile ago. And IQ47 got pissed because he doesn't want people talking about Epstein because there's like 25 pics of him and the pedophile in circulation and he's embarrassed by them (at minimum, of course, it could be worse than that).
