The Epstein File
-
His response to the birthday card was so obviously dishonest that we clearly can't trust anything either he or his toadies say about Epstein.
I know, I'm stating the bleeding obvious. Still, apparently obvious not for everyone....
-
I think the main thing to remember is that Trump(CF) promised, indeed campaigned on the promise, that when president he would release all of the Epstein investigation files.
Did he break his word?
Did he, once in power, actively prevent the release?
Can we be certain given his power, all the documentation has been released? -
Doesn’t everyone already know he’s morally bankrupt. Not sure what the emails could have that’d change minds.

Yeah this isn't about morality... that was long gone when he joked about grabbing p****, making fun of disabled reporters, and telling tens of thousands of lies in his first term. I do wonder if these emails (and I guess other proof because... fake news?) will eventually be even too much for Slippery Don to get out of. Yet, I doubt it.

His base might never learn about it.
I went to FoxNews to try to find the headline.
When I scrolled down to story 8, it was trying to implicate the media:
Story 28 - which is pages and pages of scrolling - gets you to prince andrew.
If you scroll many many more pages, past all the media gossip (any idea what Kathy Griffin paid for her third face lift? There’s a story on it) you get to number 41 which is Trump related, but doesn’t mention the hours he spent with the adolescent girl.

Trump is not a very nice person to women. No news there. I wasn't in my much younger years either.
I still think this is a nothingburger. I don't see much evidence that Epstein was running an ongoing stable of underage women nor do I think we will ever see any list of luminaries who participated.

It's never seemed to me that there's any there there regarding smoking guns and Trump. In fact the evidence that Trump pushed back against Epstein, at the time, is clear. The only arguments I've ever heard for why Biden's DOJ failed to act against Trump, in the presence of evidence, have been universally stupid. No offense to anybody here who may account for my exposure to such arguments, which may have been too stupid to even break water in mainstream TDS circles.
Shapiro here has a reasonable take IMO.

There's a political event horizon some people cross where they've so normalized government corruption in their mind they can't believe that not all governments have been so corrupt and would view suggestions otherwise as 'stupid'.
Like it or not the evidence points to Garland running a very tight ship, if anything he overcompensated after the norm-breaking of the first Trump administration.
