(32,264 posts)1. There are more Epstein documents that could be released by President Biden,
I believe those documents are more salacious than the ones that were released. Probably way too many important people for Joe to release them.
Justice matters.

IF those documents exists, and if they can help save democracy, there should be a right time to release them (maybe in a October "surprise" way, I mean, before the mail-in dates).

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpwdvw8xqyvo#
A judge in Florida has ordered the surprise release of graphic transcripts from the state's 2006 prosecution of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein - a probe that ended with the millionaire financier receiving a legal slap on the wrist.
Epstein cut a deal in 2008 to avoid charges of sex trafficking and rape. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and was sentenced to 13 months in prison.
The nearly 200 pages of documents contain details of Epstein's crimes, including first-hand accounts from victims and specifics about payoffs to underage victims.
When prosecutors made that deal, they knew he had sexually assaulted teenage girls two years before, according to the transcripts.
On Monday, Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered the 16-year-old documents released, writing that "details in the record will be outrageous to decent people".
"The testimony taken by the Grand Jury concerns activity ranging from grossly unacceptable to rape all of the conduct at issue is sexually deviant, disgusting, and criminal."
