    I am confused how the Democrats were in office for 4 years. Never released any Epstein files bur this is a Trump Admin problem now?

    As much as the Democrats try to stop Trump from being elected. Don’t you think they would have released or leaked those files?

      Dems politicians might be hesitant, but the voters are fine with holding their party’s politicians accountable.

      I think that we already have most of it.

      There is no blackmail list or hard drive containing videos of these people doing heinous shit. It’s just all the associations and circumstantial evidence based on ties/connections and flight logs, etc.

      As far as anyone knows there have been no indictments other than Maxwell. My guess is that releasing the evidence would put possibly innocent people in danger or ruin already tenuous cases (that I’d hope they were trying to build/fortify with other evidence).
