Trump obviously has a lot to hide when it comes to Epstein. He has lied, u-turned, created diversions, blamed others,

and worked with Bondi to cover up whatever WAS in the Epstein files. Inventing scandals about Obama and Biden, moving nuclear subs, even firing the BLS commissioner. These are all diversions. He will stop at nothing to hide the truth.

To me, he has proven time and time again that he has no scruples, he has no empathy for others, he does not play by the same rules as anyone else, he thinks he has a right to do anything he wants, everything and everybody exists only for his taking, and there is no limit to how low he will go if he thinks he will benefit from it.

When it comes to Epstein, do you agree with me that no matter what Trump might be accused of, no matter how disgusting or how corrupt it is, he is capable of doing it? That isn't to say that he is guilty, but that he was capable and willing to do those acts if he chose to do so, and his desperation shows he's hiding some very bad acts.

If so, what could those acts be? What level of depravity and what specific acts do you think he is so desperate to hide? What do you think he is really hiding?

Blackmail is frequently invoked as a possible explanation for tRump's power over RepubliCons, converting them until they are all maga now. I'm very skeptical that blackmail would have been used on such a large scale, but there might be some key specific cases in there.

Also, if there are provable perverts in the Epstein files why were they not charged and prosecuted in the four years of the Biden admin?

That might explain Trump's undying loyalty to Bibi, if they have the goods on him. We shall see....

The files may eventually get released, but with a lot of redactions. I think even JD Vance mentioned that it takes time to go through everything.

“(I) feel like the DOJ’s and FBI’s priority is protecting the “third-party”, the wealthy men by focusing on scrubbing their names off the files of which the victims, “know who they are,’” one of the victims wrote.
