Biden had four years to release the “Epstein Files.” Trump campaigned on releasing them, but when Israel visited and the CIA showed him things, he changed his tune.
Democracy worked well. Congress almost unanimously voted to release the “files,” whatever they now include after five years of purging by both parties and Epstein’s death. Who says Dems and Republicans can’t work together?
Trump is now trying to act like it was his idea. First, he favored releasing the files, then he was against it. Then he tried to dissuade GOP congresspeople from forcing this issue, so he sent Rep. Lauren Boebert (who was pressing for the documents’ release) to the “SCIF” to see secret Epstein documents. Mayhem broke out when all the men there tried to sit next to her.
Dems leak everything. If anything major existed that hurt Trump, Biden/Harris would have leaked it by now. Until now, the Epstein client list was, and remains, the only secure document in Washington, D.C.
The feds concluded that Epstein did commit suicide in his prison cell. A man who evaded the law and prison for 40 years fell prey to bed sheets. If you think you were surprised by his prison “suicide,” imagine how Epstein felt.
So, no release. Just like the government, they kept folks hanging. One of the main accusers, Virginia Giuffre, committed suicide after exonerating Trump. It remains unclear how she met the Clintons.
Here is the summary. Trump knew Epstein like most rich New York/Palm Beach socialites did. But in 2007 Trump banned him from Mar-a-Lago, and turned in the pedophile (for which he was convicted). They then hated each other. Epstein went on to help Democrats, including texting a congresswoman while she questioned Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, under oath in hearings.
There won’t be too many surprises in the “list.” Most were coastal liberal elites. Bill Clinton, about the only Baptist on the list, was a frequent flyer to the island on Epstein’s “Lolita Express.” Wow, just when you think you know a guy.
Bill and Hillary won’t be affected. With all their capers, they cannot get divorced anyway and risk losing spousal immunity. Bill Clinton did write in Epstein’s 50th birthday book that he admired Jeff’s “childlike curiosity.” Comedy teaches us that when jokes write themselves, you just get out of the way and let it go.
Epstein was clearly an asset of the CIA and/or Mossad. When Epstein got caught red-handed in Palm Beach doing this years before the news picked up on his island, he was given a sweetheart plea deal. The prosecutor who went after him said he was told by Washington, D.C., that Epstein “‘was theirs and to let him go.”
No doubt, Epstein was being protected by our government. The partisan Department of Justice Southern District of New York, the Biden administration and three Democrat-appointed judges had years after Epstein was arrested to go after the men who abused these underaged girls.
Almost all the frequent flyers on the “Lolita Express” to his island were big Democrats, like Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking, et al.
Most of the billionaire Dems who were enticed by all this were nerds growing up. Most of these men did not have a high school girlfriend until they were 50.
Ghislaine Maxwell remains in federal prison, having trafficked underaged girls to apparently no one. She sits there, with all her information on government figures, with cameras on her 24/7. I’d be really nervous when the prison guard comes in and turns the cameras off.
