As others have posted, because the Epstein stuff may ALSO implicate Trump’s enemies…so it was off limits.

Who knows. God’s will be done. IF any truth at all in this muck, Trump needs to have a come to Jesus moment lest this becomes borderline Watergate.

There is no “list” its the files and yes Trump’s name IS in those files, remember the “Nothing burger” Bondi released months ago, Trump’s name did appear multiple times in those files, so yes, Trump IS in the files, but in flight logs which is understandable

I just saw the news that the judge won’t release anything from the Grand Jury testimony.

Sad.

Praying God tugs at the President’s heart to do the right thing.

Who is advising him?! 🙄Or he may be ignoring the advice…

As soon as I noticed those three letters W S J - I stated out loud: MEH!

I then went out to water our tomatoes.

I've learned how to play this from the Democrats themselves.

It makes no difference to me. Trump is on **my side** in this life-and-death struggle, and that's all that matters to me. (Waving wand) All is forgiven of President Donald Trump.

Nothing is forgiven with regard to the liberals and my other enemies. All powers at the administration's disposal should be used to erase them from the political landscape, and to deprive them of their freedoms and every thing they and their friends, families and supporters own.

The White House has a different take:

“”This is another fake news story, just like the previous story by The Wall Street Journal,” White House communications director Steven Cheung told the newspaper in a statement.”

Everyone knew Epstein

I doubt Trump forgot he knew him

The appearance of any celebrity name in connection with Epstein, is not a connection in human trafficking or child rape on the part of every celebrity name mentioned.

Epstein was a financier, among other things, and made “connections” with “celebrities”, other financiers and politicians to help get some influence for the finance deals he worked on, for himself and others. Not every instance of those connections was a connection in his sex trafficking and pedophilia schemes.

That, the innocence of many persons whose name shows up as some “connection” to Epstein, with no tangible evidence of anything else, is part of the FBIs hesitance at willy nilly releasing “everything”, because allegations will fly at the drop of a name, regardless of the lack of any other evidence.

Trump and people associated with him, and here on FR have been doing exactly that for years.

It depends in what context Trump is listed. Plane trips in what time frame? Also “services rendered” for money is a separate list as I understand it. And THAT is the list that is important. Roberts in a hot tub means nothing. Roberts paying for a massage by a 14 y o girl would be damning

Both the UK Guardian and The Rolling Stone are reporting this story. That means someone is feeding this story to the drive-by media.

Who are the high administration sources who say this? And why are they saying it? Are they just preparing the public for the release of the docs? Or are they trying to undermine the president?

This isn’t news. The Democrats wanted Trump’s name flagged in all of files just to make it seem like something that isn’t. Bill Clinton is getting away with it while President Trump is being crucified for nothing. This is all a trap and conspiracy.

The above is Bondi’s release in February. Take the time o read it. The Media is NOT your friend.

I don’t think Trump did a darn thing. Every bit of evidence suggests he cut also ties with Epstein when he hears what Epstein was up to.
