You seem to believe Epstein releases would not eventually have occurred. That is a mistaken holding. The issue here is one of finite resources and timetables.

In the Dems view this is an opportunity to siphon DOJ resources. Far better to tie up FBI resources in investigations of an incident 25 years ago when Epstein allegedly touched a 22y/o's hoohoo with his foot during a massage, than to free up those resources to investigate counterfeit ballots in Fulton, or massive financial fraud in Minneapolis.

That is the game afoot (pun intended)

Did those binders contain the twenty six million or some such files? Most files ever for anyone who lived on this earth? Big binders.

pay attention panicans and weak republicans - /\THIS/\ is the entire substance of all this fevered activity = ANYTHING to divert attention away from a moribund Democrat party with new atrocities being revealed every day.

Keep your noses in this little gem right here - there might even be a lurid photo you can pleasure yourself with

This is the ENTIRE playbook of the moribund democrat party and the media still trying to pump some air in that balloon lying flat on the ground.

It's all they got - all the other bullshite they mouth is seen by any sentient being as being worse than bullshite - bullshite can be used a fertilizer.

democrat bullshite is more like poison ivy.

Trump doesn’t want to talk about it because he knows the left is using it to try and distract for the good things the admin is achieving.

That’s why they’re obsessing over it.

I find it interesting that Trump is being accused of "protecting pedophiles" when he was key in getting his antics into the spotlight before anyone even knew who he was. If it weren't for Trump the guy would probably still be alive, and still doing what he was doing.

What part of it’s a hoax, meaning the democrat drivel of Trump being an island hopper pedo, are you having trouble understanding? The democrats drove a narrative that Trump was part of the child raping culture when in fact the truth came out that he shined a light on it by contacting authorities

This explains all the deep state toadies fired from their job, cut off from their cushy philanthropies, divorced decreed by their spouses and shamed into hiding.

They chose to do that because hoax.

Please find footage from the 2024 campaign where Donald Trump raised the point of releasing Epstein files. Not where a reporter asked him about it.

Show us Donald Trump being the one who said during a rally or any other campaign function that he'd make #MuhEpsteinFiles public.

Spoiler Alert: He didn't want it to go away. He wanted the people, Dems and RINOs included, to DEMAND the release.

Trump calling it a “hoax,” instantly lights an inferno on social media, as more fools pile into the fight over releasing the Epstein files.
It brings a nationwide focus, that was planned from the beginning.

ALL EYES ON. ??

Trump even stages a White House photo op, with a lot of the “influencers,” who were demanding that he release the files.
Anybody remember the photos with the influencers at the White House, holding up “folders.”

That was the “tease.”

Turns out, the only files the influencers got, were ones that had already been released before.
Nothing new.

This turns up the heat.

Months of embarrassment and the DEMs still get to use it against him and this was the plan all the time?

Everyone knew it. Trump's inner circle had to know it was going to be a sticking point for the Dems to push for it to be released.

The right move was day 1 of having control of the files, or, whatever this is we're seeing now, was to dedicate immense resources to begin releasing it without being forced. Figure out how to include some non batshit crazy R and D Congressmen so there isn't the impression of partiality in what gets released.

But to say you're going to release them, then not, then try to discredit them, then resist, then have to be forced by a new law, then have DJT appear in it with retarded allegations, now he's fighting an uphill battle with horrible optics in the eyes of people who fall for manipulation.

Trump and his admin fricking up this Epstein stuff is one of the least politically savvy and most hurtful moves of his career. It was a few weeks of fumble after fumble and just a PR/optics disaster. It's an unusual scenario for Trump as he's usually extremely savvy in terms of PR/optics and this was the atypical fail (a huge one).

Trying to spin this as anything else just shows the depths of how people will debase themselves to protect their in-group/Trump.

This isn't that difficult, either. The Epstein situation is a political hot potato that's been spun into insanity by the CT types and Epstein Bros. Obama, Trump, and Biden all knew the shite show and witch hunt it would create, without any real evidence (which means they're part of the cover up and the lack of evidence IS evidence for the CT types).

And you're seeing JUST THAT unfold with the release of this information.

Witch hunt? Check

Epstein bros continuing to debase themselves and make up sick fantasies about child rape/murder/ Check

Trump's opposition using this as ammo against him? Check

If I was on his jury I would consider all that. But given his past with other women like Paula Jones and Kathleen Willy, I feel safe in saying that he’s guilty as heck.

You're proving his point, as that's exactly the type of stuff Leftist are using to attack Trump (who has his own sordid sexual history) on this.

Trump contacted the FBI after Epstein was arrested the first time. That's not nothing but it's a long walk from him being the one who turned them in.
