The full investigative files.

Bondi's binder



Had more information in it than the GJ evidence.

The GJ evidence is a very small slice of the pie and its contents are already out in the public sphere because, you know, there was a full on trial.

The admin came up with a ruse by selecting an irrelevant set of data (The GJ evidence) they knew they could not release. They did so to create the exact talking point you just promoted with your silly "/thread" response. It's dishonest and something only NPCs should repeat.

No, he can't command it. But someone could leak them.

Wrong. That was the grand jury testimony not the Epstein files. Trump duped his gullible supporters on that one which isn’t a big shock.

This Epstein thing has become a political albatross around Trump's neck. Whatever the facts, legalities, etc. are around this issue do not matter, what matters is that Trump has to do something bold to end it. Otherwise, Epstein talk will be constant and will erode support for Trump and Republicans over months and months up to the midterms.

I am assuming Trump has done nothing illegal, which makes sense given the Democrats had this info for years and did nothing with it. But that argument really is not carrying the day.

i mean here we are after the ridiculous move to shutdown the government and the thing most people are talking about is Epstein.

What in the Bondi files, other than grand jury material, has not been released?

It isn't a rhetorical question. I don't know what was in the Bondi files. Perhaps you do. If so, specify what has not been released.

The Department of Justice gave 33,295 pages of Epstein-related material to Congress, which I would guess is significantly more than what the individuals in the picture were holding up in their "binder."

You say that as if you know. Do you? Exactly how much information has the court blocked? What is the size of the grand jury "file"? Specifically, how many pages does that entail?

Again, those are not rhetorical questions. I've not seen reliable specification for any of that. Have you?

I still haven’t been told why Trump moved Maxwell to club fed jail.

We all know it wasn’t for nothing.

There are a lot of FBI investigatory materials related to the NY prosecution alone that haven't been released. Have you seen one 302 for that entire operation? I don't think a single one has been released.

Exponentially more than what little was used in the grand jury of the NY case.

Which is why referencing the GJ stuff is a red herring, which is the entire reason for the political ruse created by the Trump admin.

The exact evidence hasn't been released, but the general content has been described. It's like 2 LEOs testifying and a little more.

As I said earlier, I think everything has pretty much been released. It’s just people using Epstein for political talking points. Here’s an interview from Epstein’s attorney, I feel he sums it up well. I think even the posters in this thread clamoring to Trump is hiding stuff know deep down there’s nothing there, but will use Epstein as a tool for as long as they can.

Those were blocked by a judge as well. I had presumed you knew that.

The Epstein thing will never die even if they release everything they’re legally allowed to release because many will claim that it wasn’t everything and that they’re still holding back.

Trump should have never mentioned Epstein during the campaign. This will be an albatross around his neck no matter what he does at this point, and that’s in part to his mishandling of it from the beginning of this term. But it’s nothing more than bad optics and misplaying his cards.

He didn’t. He was asked about it on podcasts.

Patel and Bongino caused the hysteria in the years leading up to their appointments.

The same people here that are all about this are the same ones that literally hate Trump.


The fact is, Congress doesnt need Trump to release it. They can do it themselves by a vote.


They won't. And we all know why

He never brought up Epstein on the campaign. You know this and so does everyone else but yall pretend otherwise. He was asked about it in an interview, and that’s it, at least regarding his 2024 campaign
