The “Epstein Files” are the biggest nothingburger I have ever seen in half a century of watching politics.

It was a blackmail op. Trump, not being a club joiner, nor a desperate narcissistic politician who had to pay for sex, nor an addict prone to making stupid assed decisions and knowing people, steered clear from this

Dems were not interested in looking at it, certainly not revealing it, until President Trump got into office.

This op that went back to the early 2000s was dragged out in order to sow doubt Dumb, uninformed entertainers such as late notes and Tim Dillon, for instance, and media people used it to spread doubt and hatered for Trump

That’s my take. I haven’t been proven wrong

I agree and disagree.

From the perspective of politics, I agree, with one caveat.
That is that it seems like politicians as well as influential wealthy and famous people got protected.

However, in terms of controversies, I think that what Epstein did was huge. It is absolutely amazing how many famous and powerful people he entangled into his web, and how he not only avoided prosecution for his activities, but was able to stay out of the spotlight for so long.

Go back to 2024 in a time machine and tell MAGA voters that.

It’s the kind of topic that can become a paralyzing type of quicksand, if one is not careful.
That’s the main reason, many years back, I stopped paying much attention to PizzaGate Updates. It was absolutely endless!

Then let’s release them all. I don’t know why we haven’t yet if it’s a nothing burger then nothing will come of it but trying to hide it. It’s just making people wanna see it more and Trump didn’t help himself when he said he would release every page when he was on the campaign Trail. so release it Mr. President for God sake.
