Does anybody really think the Epstein files

[choie]

are going to reveal anything, but an absence of trump's name? Why would they release it otherwise?

[Johnny2X2X]

1. Nope

This has been a dead end from the start. Nothing will come of this for Trump. They control too much and they bribed Ghislaine to cover him.

And 99% of MAGA will buy it totally.

10. Agreed - frankly, I couldn't care less about the Epstein files - there are so many issues of true national importance

that it's maddening to see this much time and effort spent on this stuff. I don't believe there is anything approaching evidence that would be admissible in court of unindicted prominent men's guilt in the Epstein files.

2. This may be contrarian thinking, but...

4. Why is Trump working so hard to prevent and/or distract from their release?

[misanthrope]

11. Because he knows there is something he did that could be in there

He didn't know for sure whether it made the files or not, he just knows it happened. There is no other explanation for his level of panic about the files.

5. The MAGAS and other republicans don't think that way.

And most of the media won't either. They'll proclaim his innocence and won't go any deeper. The media did the same thing yesterday with the ruling from the NY Court of Appeals. While the court ruled the penalty was too high, they did uphold the judgement of fraud. Yet, the headlines basically declared that the case against him had been thrown out and trump had been vindicated. The media sucks.

3. They will cherry pick what is released.

Has the entire Mueller report been released yet?

[malaise]

6. Yes

The Epstein files will finally destroy Donvict

7. The Epstein story

hopefully will not be forgotten, no matter how many distractions stories are out there.

But let's not "normalize" DC with armed troops now being mentioned by Hegseth. weirdo.

8. Agree

The distractions are an integral part of Project 2025

9. So much to rewrite with AI

It's not just Trump, but boatloads planeloads of ultra rich fatcats, and (ahem) royalty.

Lots to whitewash, or maybe a blackwash or two.

12. Everything Epstein related is fool's gold. That's why I honestly don't give it a whole lot of thought.

I think there was terrible stuff that happened with Epstein. But nobody knows exactly what terrible stuff happened.

So people speculate on the terrible stuff they think happened but don't know happened, and who they think it may have happened with but don't know if it happened with.

Trump's freaked out reaction to the Epstein case certainly makes me think he is at least involved somehow, tangentially or more so.

But we don't know how he might involved or to what degree, and since he's in power and controls the flow of information, we probably won't know.

We're at the Serenity Prayer stage now, obsessing over things we cannot control, and honestly I don't have the energy to spend time on it any further.

Trump's done so many horrible things, and what he may or may not have done with Epstein might be one of those horrible things, but I can only have the energy to focus on Trump's known knowns.

So I'm really not obsessing over Epstein at this point. There's other areas where I know where to focus my energy.

13. Of course they won't. They had tons of FBI agents scrubbing his name.

Now if they release the unredacted ones........yes.
