So far, Republicans in congress have voted against releasing the Epstein files twice. They have voted to protect pedophiles. They will keep voting to protect pedophiles every time the dems make them vote on it. Hopefully the dems use that for 2026 campaigning.
Will the Dems release if they got a real chance because if not that sounds like a future broken oromise

Then we get to judge them based on what other evidence the trial reveals.

It's one thing if they can produce travel records that contradict the blackmail. As well as explanations for why they sent Epstein money.

It's another thing if Trump settles by giving them money before they submit any evidence.
So, without the video evidence, you're willing to risk a bunch of Trump's rich asshole friends starting legal action (possibly without being charged), giving Trump the chance to have the DOJ 'apologize and withdrawl', and settle out of court for millions of dollars in the pedos favor?
What?
It's what Il Douchebag's DOJ is doing with Jan 6 golpistas who filed suit against the US government for not allowing their putsch to succeed. For example, the estate of Ashli "Get your shot, I got mine!" Babbit got a fat payday when the Trump regime agreed to settle, even though there's no court on earth that would have ruled in Babbit's favor.

There isn't much we can do to stop Trump finding ways to give his friends money. It's only a question of if he tries to hide it or openly gives money to pedos.


That is, if anyone draws attention to themselves by being the first to sue. There will be consequences outside of court, just like any time someone gets canceled for sexual assault or worse.

That's the question. What will they do when one of their rich donors disagrees with the release ?

You think any of those rich assholes cares about that? Especially then Trump could also PARDON them?

No, any handling of going after anyone Epstein had anything on has to be handled carefully, and it has to include Trump so he can't just pardon everyone. And it has to include Vance to make sure he doesn't.

Really, it can't happen under the current administration.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.
