Is it within Trump's authority to command the release of the Epstein Files?

If so, why hasn't it happened?

No, he didn't and no they did not. This lie has been completely debunked. The Grand Jury testimony of two people are not the Epstein files.

A better question would be, does Trump have the authority to continue to block its release.

Because he the courts have stopped him, but don’t let that stop you from believing the media narrative that Trumps name is in the files and he is hiding the truth, bullshite.

It's not the Grand Jury testimony of 2 people , it's the evidence in two grand juries. I think one in Florida and one on New York. I think we should see the testimonies with all names redacted so we can at least get a sense of how many people are involved and how seedy it was.

Didn't he say he was going to release the files during his campaign?

Only for a very small % of evidence that is largely releasable in other forms.

You say this while pandering your own bullshite narrative

No way. We know his name is in there and the only reason we did not release the files when Joey was POTUS is because we wanted to let POTUS Trump fight and win court battles which kept his name in the public eye so he could easily be re-elected. Once re-elected, our strategic brilliance began to shine. Right now, we are forcing him to release the files so the American people will see how horrible he is. Who cares if he stops border crossings, illegal drug imports, or annihilates cartels. That will be temporary.
How brilliant and strategic is that? We let him become POTUS so we can get him to release the files that prove what we have always known. Ain't we the most intelligent political party ever? Democrats forever!!

It's mainly the NY case
The Florida case was largely done by the state of Florida, and that GJ stuff has been released. LINK
The Florida case was not a particularly strong one, either
quote:
Prosecutors then called that teen girl, who had since turned 15. She testified that she went once to Epstein's mansion the previous year. She said she was asked by Epstein's assistant to strip down to her underwear and to wait for Epstein to enter the room. She said she massaged Epstein and then, at his request, agreed to allow him to use a vibrator on her for an extra $100. She admitted that she lied and told Epstein that she was 18. Her parents found out about her trip to Epstein's, she said, because she had gotten into an altercation at school and the money was found in her purse.
During her testimony, prosecutors asked the girl about her drug and alcohol use, body piercings and postings on her MySpace page in which she boasted of shoplifting and lied about her age and her income, claiming to make $250,000. "Yeah, it's a joke," she testified. "Like, all my friends do that, cause it's kind of funny and random and stupid."
A juror then asked the witness if she had "any idea deep down inside of you that…what you're doing is wrong?"
"Yeah, I did," she answered.
quote:
A prosecutor, Lanna Belohlavek, then asked the 15-year-old witness: "You aware that you committed a crime?"
"Now I am. I didn't know it was a crime when I was doing it," she replied. "Now, I guess it's prostitution or something like that."
quote:
One alleged victim, Recarey testified, had gone to Epstein's mansion over 100 times, and had received $200 each time, and gifts, including a rented car for her use. He testified that on one occasion, Epstein had intercourse with her without her consent. "She screamed no," Recarey said when asked by a grand juror if the victim had asked Epstein to stop. Epstein stopped, apologized and paid her $1000, Recarey testified.
quote:
The sexual activity escalated gradually, she testified, until her last encounter when Epstein initiated intercourse. It was the day before her 18th birthday, she said. She testified that she did not want to have intercourse with him but did not ask him to stop.
The young girl said she was reluctant to testify and didn't really know if she wanted to see Epstein prosecuted.
"You understand that you in effect were committing prostitution yourself," a prosecutor asked.
"Yes," the witness replied.
Also at least one of the girls involved said she didn't think what he did was wrong or didn't want him prosecuted. I forget the exact description.

The judges who ruled against releasing said that most of the information had already been public as it was part of Maxwell's trial. The judges said that it was tiny compared to the Epstein files
quote:
“The government’s 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70-odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials,” Berman wrote, adding that “the grand jury testimony is merely a hearsay snippet of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged conduct.”
quote:
Berman found the grand jury materials the administration sought to unseal contained 70 pages of transcript from a single FBI agent who “had no direct knowledge of the facts of the case and whose testimony was mostly hearsay.” The agent appeared in front of the grand jury twice — once on June 18, 2019, and once on July 2, 2019.
quote:
“The government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein files,” Berman wrote. “By comparison, the instant grand jury motion appears to be a ‘diversion’ from the breadth and scope of the Epstein files in the government’s possession.”

Yes - the POTUS can declassify any document that he choose to

The GJ talking point is a ruse

Personally, I think once innocent people's names are redacted, ya'll will learn, everything has already been released. I don't think there is much more there. The 2 main bad actors we all already know, GM and JE. Everyone else was having sex with older women JE passed off once they got to their late teens and became "too old" for him.
I think Kash and Bongino, when private citizens, probably thought there was more to it. Once they went to the FBI, they soon realized, there just isn't much there. Yes, they looked like fools, but overall, I'm not going to judge the FBI director for being wrong about Epstein shite. I want him to find innocent kids, keep our country safe, and go after violent criminals. I fully believe many here want there to be so much more there, and there simply isn't, at least involving underrage girls.
