    What gets me is that we’ve already had an orgy of evidence regarding Epstein and his various partnerships.

    And yet the various administrative and state DOJs - from Bush in '05 to Obama to Trump to Biden to Trump again to the Florida and NY and even the fucking Virgin Islands - had more than enough to start making sweeping indictments and arrests. And yet, nobody seems interested in pulling the trigger (or, when someone does, they’re fired).

    Everyone associated with Epstein - left, right, and center (excepting Gislane Maxwell) - is walking away scott free.

    And yet we keep hearing about “The Hidden Files” that someone or other is keeping secret. The extra double-plus super dooper extra special evidence that can finally start indicting people. As though the witness testimonies and flight logs and transfer payments and real estate deals and extensive misuse of Les Wexner’s Victoria Secret company resources just aren’t enough to press charges on anyone.

    You should have entire cell blocks full of people convicted for human trafficking and serial sexual assault based on any given litany of newspaper headlines. But here we are, still just waiting on the “Real” information to be released at last.

    Every magat I know doesn’t care about the Epstein files anymore. They’re so sick of hearing about it and wish people would just move on.

    Guys let’s just get one thing on the table.

    The people with the guns and the money aren’t going to give them up freely nor are they going to play by any rules or so-called moral values except for whichever facilitate obtaining more guns or money.

    Always has been, always will be.

    The only offsetting force is the power of the masses, which could come together and take it back at anytime.

    On my maps, I changed the name of Washington D.C. to The Gulf Of Stupidity.

    It makes me laugh when I look at where our political power is kept.

      Trump’s not the only one in those files. There’s gonna be lots of powerful people from both parties. If they ever get released, it’ll be long after all the perpetrators have died.

      Why do you think that’s the case? Its extremely likely that democrats and their donors are implicated as well. The safer bet is that these files are never released.

        There will be copies, and everyone in the files will eventually lose their power either by death or abdication.

        They will be released eventually, time always wins.

        It just down to whether you’ll still be alive to see it

          The only certain thing time does is erasing things. It may or may not uncover them first, that one is far from certain.

        the donors of the gop and DNC have more to lose to have it released: hollywood execs(already implicated in various SA by actors), billionaires,etc.

      Leaves office? You think he’s ever going to leave voluntarily he’s going on about having a third term.

        there will be a time where trump leaves office, if you disagree with that statement you must genuinely think humans can be immortal

          He’ll die sure maybe even their natural causes if we’re unlucky but he’ll not leave.

          There’s no scenario where Trump is still alive but not president.

    What files are they exactly? Is it just, like, his list of contacts, or there something else?

      The fbi found hidden compartments full of CD’s hard drives and other digital media when they raided his manhattan 8 story townhouse mansion. There are pictures of this and then they all disappeared from chain of command custody. All his properties were bugged with pinhole cameras and microphones everywhere even in the bathrooms and there were surveillance monitoring computer control rooms in the basement. I don’t believe a defacto “list” exists because people committing crimes even within the intelligence community don’t just write down their criminal doings. But there are definitely videos of powerful wealthy people doing awful things to children and who knows what/who else.

      Bondi said the files were all just a bunch of child 🌽 and would never see the light of day but she didn’t say if it was child 🌽 he randomly downloaded from the dark web(yeah right like anyone with a brain would believe that) or child 🌽 of the wealthy political elite individuals in his orbit abusing underaged minors and doing other career ending things filmed by Epstein.

        interesting. Well if people want these released, they better get released soon before it becomes plausible to claim it’s deepfake.

          They’ll never let those videos out even edited to protect the victims and remove the CP aspect because too many powerful people will be implicated and it will make israel look realllly bad and further shift peoples opinions about israel in the red. Someone would literally have to leak it and put a target on their back
