Boy, we sure put on over on MAGA and Q-Anon, didn’t we? Even suckered Trump into it, for a while.
This idea that he’s a “non-factor”—well, why were you hanging around with non-factors, Mr. President? What was that about?

I think he’s making it worse now that he’s seemingly privy to everything in the files—and suddenly doesn’t want to release them. When he was on the outside, I guess he just wasn’t confident in the investigations and didn’t think there was anything that necessarily linked him.

He is, overall, a creep. Like—we know he’s a creep.

The question is: is he also a criminal in that way?

And the fact that he’s so adamant about not releasing the Epstein files—I think that kind of answers the question.
There’s a lot to be said for not playing the conspiracy game back against MAGA. But this? This pretty much raises the right “When did you stop beating your wife?” question. (My position is, Trump can’t release the files because there IS nothing there. But if he shows that, it’s a whole new coverup. In fact, that’s how the first coverup conspiracy started. And if he doesn’t release the files, it’s the same old coverup. Hoist on his own conspiracy theory. It was bound to happen. 😈 I want to say the torture memos left him this way; but I’m pretty sure he was thus way already, and the torture memos were just a byproduct. "Sure sound like socialism to me, little lady. And Gawd hates socialists! It’s in the Bible!” Yale lawyer, so: 

He’s actually this stupid.

He doesn’t care, it’s just all about having power and not being grounded to the Naval Observatory for four years.
I think he really believes this. And if he doesn’t, what’s the difference?
After Epstein's death, New York judge Loretta Preska ordered a list with names of more than 170 Epstein associates to be unsealed on January 1, 2024. Anyone on the list had until January 1 to appeal to have their name removed.

During the presidency of Joe Biden, many right-wing figures hypothesized of a list of Epstein's clients not disclosed by the Biden administration. Kash Patel, who was not the director of the FBI at the time, claimed that the FBI was keeping Epstein's "black list", and encouraged a potential administration of Donald Trump to release them if he were to be elected. During the Turning Point Action convention in June 2024, Donald Trump Jr. accused the Biden administration of keeping the list secret to protect pedophiles. In October 2024, JD Vance said "we need to release the Epstein list".

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked in February 2025 by Fox News journalist John Roberts on whether the Justice Department would be publishing "the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients", to which Bondi responded: "It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that." On July 7, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Bondi had been referring more generally to the accumulated evidence against Epstein, stating: "[Bondi] was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, that’s what the attorney general was referring to, and I’ll let her speak for that".

Lawyer and law professor Alan Dershowitz said in an interview with Sean Spicer on March 19, 2025, that he knew the names of individuals on such a list and unreleased files relating to Epstein, adding that "I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them" and that he was " ...bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know". Dershowitz had been part of the legal team that negotiated a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein in 2006.

During the Trump–Musk feud, Musk claimed that Trump was in the Epstein files and that this "is the real reason they have not been made public", though it is unclear if he specifically meant Epstein's client list.

In a July 7 memo, the Department of Justice stated it would not release any more documents relating to Epstein. At a cabinet meeting, as Trump criticized reporters for focusing on the Epstein case, Bondi clarified when she said “it’s on my desk” that she meant he was in possession of child pornography.
Let 'em have all the rope they want. That tree’s still gonna be taller’n their rope is long.

    Democrats like EVERY SINGLE FBI DIRECTOR IN HISTORY WHO HAVE BEEN REPUBLICANS, including Wray who Trump appointed.

    On the other hand, it occurs to me that Merrick Garland's DoJ sat on whatever they have on Trump re Epstein for four years when he could have prevented Trump II by going even slightly outside the box that was largely his own making. How ironic that the greatest danger to American democracy has been enacted in no small part due to the rules of the DoJ and other organs of law enforcement. I've come to the conclusion that as it's supposed to be done politics are a far higher calling than the law. I have a new appreciation for the saying about the letter of the law leading to death.
