Just Wondering - About How Many Minions In The Trump Administration Know Exactly Whats In The Epstein Files And.....

are going along with a cover-up to shield their boss.

I got to think that a number of them have a intimate knowledge about the relationship their boss had with Epstein.

One would think that there is plenty of opportunity to turn that knowledge into leverage against their boss.

And did they decide nothing should happen to IQ45 over it out of fear of being accused of "politicizing the DoJ"?

I am of the opinion that if there were evidence/testimony in DoJ hands that was solid enough to have WON any sort of legal action against Trump, Garland would have done so. I sure HOPE so because if not, my opinion of Biden's tenure will drop, potentially by a lot.

Which is one of a number of reasons I don't think Trump is actually all that worried about his Epstein exposure, and why I think our side are making a mistake to view any of the horrible things he's saying or doing through the lens of it being a "distraction from Epstein". I believe he's doing everything he does because he's a power-hungry fascist, a malignant narcissist, and a pathological liar.

I understand everyone here knows he MUST be removed from office, and holds out hope that somehow exposing what he did around Epstein could be a means of accomplishing that. And we all NEED some hope. But I think that is a false hope and we're going to need a lot more than that

The tacit agreement is that none of the gossip gets outside the beltway.
But everyone knows who is sleeping with who, who is doing drugs and booze, etc etc.

I am sure people in DC all know exactly who is on the Epstein list.
