"Trump, like Clinton, has not been implicated of wrongdoing, and the president has said he had a falling out with Epstein years ago."
And with that brief observation by Politico on Friday by Hailey Fuchs in "DOJ announces full release of Epstein files," all their absurdly frenetic efforts last year to somehow implicate President Donald Trump via the Jeffrey Epstein files look like they came up empty.
Millions of the Epstein files were released and as Politico sadly conceded, Trump was not implicated of wrongdoing (although for Clinton that might not be the case due to the Clintons refusing to testify on this matter to Congress).
The best they could do is line up Democrats to keep complaining: "To be sure, Democrats were, in fact, not laudatory of the Friday release. Many of them have believed from the start the administration resisted releasing the Epstein files for months in an effort to shield Trump — who had a longstanding relationship with Epstein for many years — from scrutiny." Politico obsessed like the network newscasts, which spent over 1,000 minutes on this story in the second half of 2025.
To get a sense of what a sad letdown this must be for Team Politico, one has to keep in mind that last summer, they were in the midst of an Epstein-files frenzy to the extent that we noted last July: "Politico Goes Full Frenzy with SIX Epstein Stories in 24 Hour Period."

The Epstein files have been nothing but a cautious diversionary tactic used by both Repubs and Dems.
They now just want to protect Clinton and others.
CNN yesterday led with the fact that in the files are (kook) reports the FBI files every time a random nut tells then Trump did something, and those reports are in the files released.
They sort of admitted they have no basis but that was their top item to report, they didn’t go into any detail because it’s so ridiculous.
Steele Dossidiots have been trying since 2016.
Haven’t heard too much from Marjoie Taylor Green since 1/5. Did she miscalculate she’d make a lot of money when the full corpus came out, or was the vested pension enough for her to cap her insider profits?
oh , and make sure everyone knows she did it all for Jesus’ sake.
where are the drooling nabobs that were so certain trump was a child molester?
Not being a child molester doesn’t mean he’s not a Nazi! ✋
It’s never made any sense at all that Trump would have been involved in fooling around with underage women.
I wouldn’t put it past some others, though...
This will change NOTHING for them. They’ll quietly swap from “child molester” back to “34x convicted felon”.
“””where are the drooling nabobs that were so certain trump was a child molester?””
I sometimes watch MS COW for entertainment. They are still ranting about this being a major coverup scandal. The dozen viewers they have agree.
The McLean Stevenson of politics?
Quite frankly, they will never give up. Their minds are so thoroughly mixed and totally set That there is no That there is no way To convince them of otherwise. I even wonder if medical science has any possible cure for what is infecting them.way
And this may be a totally different topic, but what is it, besides getting Trump out of office, are they trying to achieve? What is the endgame on this? What do they want to see?
There are people with Epstein-file fetish, though. Some Freepers have it.
Now that was an interesting read for me, though I had to resort to Wikipedia. I hope her plane doesn’t go down, though.
HA haaaaaas! Pollutico is more csrtoonish than South Park.
And Trump didn't just SAY he had a falling out with Epstein, he detailed WHY they had a falling out. Epstein even suspected that Trump was the one who suggested to law enforcement that they look into Epstein Island.
I note they try to clear Clinton by tying him to Trump.
Yup. And they'll accuse you of being a tool of the Deep State or whatever when you point out it is a nothingburger.
They're the 9/11 Truthers of the 2020's.
Which Clinton?
The Epstein hand operated dildoes fan club needs to give it up. Their wet dreams aren’t going to come true.
